A Quick Note on mycharity: water
Right now, one billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in eight of us. On mycharity: water, you can run, bike, give up birthday presents or just raise money to fund water projects for communities in need. 100% of the money you raise will go directly to people in need and in 12-18 months, you’ll see proof of the projects built using photos and GPS. Get involved, too!
The goal of our mycharity: water project is it to raise $1,000 until the end of this year. This will ensure 50 people having access to clean drinking water for the next 25 years! We are celebrating the gift of life by giving up our birthday to help establish what is a basic human need and should be a right for everyone, not just 7 out of 8. Join forces with us! Make a donation and increase your winning chances!

This is an example of how your comment could look like:
The best birthday gift I have ever received is [describe your gift here] I am subscribed to your newsletter, follow you on Twitter (username: @[Your Twitter Username]) and donated $10 under the name [Your Name Here].
This example would sum up to 14 entries (1 best birthday gift comment = 1 entry, subscription to newsletter = 2 entries, twitter follower = 1 entry, $10 donation = 10 entries). This fictional reader would have increased her/his chances of winning by 1400%.
If you have questions regarding this giveaway, don’t hesitate to ask. Good luck to everyone and thank you for 2 wonderful years of frugal fashion!

Listen up, folks! You know how much I love my wonderful & talented writers Vahni, Celine & Vanessa. In fact, I think they’re totally the best and I’m so happy to have all of them on board. So, of course, I have to help them as much as they help InTheirCloset grow to be the greatest fashion blog under the sun (which basically it is, let us be honest, no? 
)
This time it’s Vahni who needs our help. She managed to be a featured entrant in BeautifulStranger.tv’s blogger contest “Are You the Next Beautiful Stranger?” with her personal blog Grit & Glamour which is an awesome accomplishment on its own, but now that she’s come so far, let’s make Vahni’s effort worth the time and sweat she always puts into her sweet little blog, shall we?
Do me a favor and head over to Vahni’s feature on the blog, then rate (I’m not implying you should give her 5 stars, but well, you totally should) & while you’re at it, please take your time to leave a comment, would you? Show Vahni your appreciation because if it wouldn’t be for her, you’d miss a lot of awesomeness here on InTheirCloset.
Now I know I have the best readers of the whole wide world who are totally selfless and like to help us just because they’re nice, but let me give you an incentive here. If we should manage to get 25 ratings + 25 comments on Vahni’s “Beautiful Stranger” feature, I’ll be giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate randomly to one of the wonderful people who decide to comment over there.
If you want to participate, leave a comment here on this blog and tell me which comment you left on the BeautifulStranger blog post. Easy! The contest ends very soon (June 15th, 2010 – comment must be written before this date to be eligible), so click yourself through, rate, comment and you might be a happy gift certificate owner veeeery soon.
Thank you for your support, dolls!
P.S.: Good luck, Vahni! You totally deserve to win!

Our jewelry giveaway, sponsored by Fantasy Jewelry Box, has ended a few days ago and we finally have a winner: Congratulations, Kelly (comment #5), you won! Kelly wrote about her most favorite jewelry:
My favorite piece of jewelry is the antique blue sapphire and diamonds set in sculpted silver ring which I got for my high school graduation from my parents. I love the antique 1920s setting and the blue oval sapphire sits perfectly center with diamonds sculpted into the sterling silver setting. I cherish every time I wear it.
Announcing a giveaway winner is both rewarding and saddening because we’d love to be able to let ALL of our wonderful readers win something. Anyway, this sure wasn’t the last giveaway here on InTheirCloset, so keep reading this blog & you’ll soon have a new chance to win a new fabulous prize.
Thanks to everyone who entered. We honestly loved reading your comments about your most cherished jewelry items!
