Rosebud Lips GIVEAWAY!!!

I spend a lot of time talking to sponsors and learning about what they have to offer, why they are offering it and what makes it special.  I hear stories from sponsors that are beautiful, heart breaking, encouraging, etc.  The story behind Rosebud Lips is beautiful, encouraging and triumphant and this company will ALWAYS be a company that I support.  Rosebud Lips was founded through the love and support of a mother who encouraged her daughter to do what she loves.  A beautiful gift of confidence, bestowed upon another, to in return, bring you exceptional and meaningful products.  

Rosebud Lips fights against human trafficking; each purchase benefits a woman who is a victim of human trafficking...PLEASE  MAKE A PURCHASE!  HELP A HURTING WOMAN REGAIN CONFIDENCE AND DIGNITY.  To learn more about the cause Rosebud Lips supports, please go to www.iamchange.org.

Here is a little bit more about Rosebud Lips and the owner/operator:

I am 26 and a dreamer.  I am a stay at home mommy in the Woodlands, and I love what I do.  I have always been creative, and learned to sew at a young age.  I was taught by my grandmother and my mom.  I have always loved fashion and at a young age, moved to New York City.  I had the oppourtunity to intern for designer Cynthia Rowley, which was am amazing experience!  To tell you why I became a designer  would have to be because of my sweet memories of being a little girl and dancing around in my Nana's silk bed sheets, adorned with her costume jewelry.  I felt like a princess.  My Nana has collected jewelry from my family generations back and I felt like each piece had a story.  This inspired me to use antiques in my pieces.  I love textures, antiques, fabric and jewelry.  Together, these form my concepts for my collection--making every woman feel beautiful.  I started the company in 2009 after my mother passed away from cancer.  She was my best friend and my biggest supporter.  She was an artist herself and she told me to follow my dreams and be creative.  This motivated me to leave the PR/marketing world that I worked in for over 5 years.  She has changed the course of my life and I am so excited for what the future holds.  The name Rosebud Lips was actually a nickname she gave to me when I was little, then my little girl (her granddaughter).  

My other passion is to support organizations that fight human trafficking.  Set Hope Free.  This is a project that I am so passionate about. It is about redeeming women who have been held captive and have been sold into slavery.  Human trafficking doesnt just happen in other countries, but in our cities.  Please know that each purchase contributes to a care package that is being sent to help these women reclaim their dignity.  To make them feel beautiful again.  To learn more go to www.iamchange.org to see what we are doing.
