oh my god! oh my GOD! OMG - OMG - OMG!!!!!!!!!!

these are 1016 sugar hearts. i counted each of them per hand - each stands for one of my "sweet and lovely" readers via Google Friend Connect of the moment.

thanks to each and every one of you, for checking in regularly, reading my rambles, sending me the sweetest comments and emails ever.  of course this also applies to my Bloglovin' readers and the non-registered ones as well, but this magical 1000-GFC-readers-number is something symbolic and concrete.
i'm almost speechless and so amazed!

starting on december 1st, 2010 - exactly 260 days ago, i have written (and published) 451 posts until today, received 2705 comments, gained 1016 official readers on GFC, 274 readers on Bloglovin, over 500 000 clicks.

that is just unbelievable!

and totally impossible if not many great blogger colleagues gave me a shout out from time to time and have listed my blog in their blog roll, readers linking to me in various forums and on twitter, youtube, etc.
thank you for your word of mouth, your suggestions and support!
thank you for sharing my love and passion for make up, my brush/blush/gold-craze and all that ;D


i'm happy that i could stay ad-free until now, and i hope that i can keep on with that.
furthermore, there are not many changing-plans for the blog. i'm happy with how it actually is, and i hope you are, too.

i haven't seen this coming so fast, i haven't even prepared anything to make a draw ;)
i have some ideas for my big 1000-readers giveaway, but i can't really decide.
so it's your turn - what do you want out of these?


* Chanel Quartz nail polish   or
* a Chanel Illusion d'Ombre cream eyeshadow of choice for the winner   or
* one of the new Guerlain quads (colour choice by the winner)   or
* a RMK Cheek Brush   or
* an Edward Bess Luxury Eye Brush   or
* a blush by Cargo (colour choice by the winner)


i will buy the product with the most votes as the main prize for a 1000-readers-giveaway that will happen soon.
at the moment i'm hosting a giveaway already, so i don't want to interfere with it.


again, thousand times thank you to all of you, have a wonderful day - i will now go on to feast in happiness and grin from ear to ear ;)


hope that many of you will vote, so the choice will be representative.
