As the Creator & Editor of Inspirations & Celebrations, I believe in the “live what you love” philosophy. Because this year marks the 5th Anniversary of I&C, to celebrate this momentous occasion – over the past few months, we’ve been passionately revamping the I&C website, which I’m excited to finally debut!
The new site is responsive (making it easy-to-view on tablets, desktop computers, and smartphones), and simpler to navigate and browse through content. We’ll continue improving the site over the next few months, so stay tuned.
We hope you enjoy the new I&C website and would love you to leave comments below. Thank you to all of you for your continued support, kindness, and love. Your sweet messages inspire us everyday!
Now, let’s get back to the giveaway…

Giovanni Ultra-Revive Intensive Hair Mask & Anti-Frizz Hair Serum: Has the Summer left your hair feeling dry, parched, and lifeless? Then this intensive haircare duo is just what you need. Ideal for nourishing dry, unruly hair, this intensive hair mask repairs damage and protects hair from future damage, while restoring hair’s natural elasticity and hydration. Plus, the anti-frizz hair serum smooths the hair cuticles, helping to boost shine and defend hair from heat-styling.
Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Soothing Moisturising Cream: This rich skin cream is formulated with a proprietary blend of skin nurturing ingredients including soothing botanicals that deeply hydrate, calm, and help reduce the appearance of redness, while protecting against environmental aggressors.
Let It Block Sunscreen: As every Dermatologist would say, sunscreen is the must-have first defense you need everyday to help prevent skin damage. This mineral-based SPF 30 sunscreen is water resistant (for up to 80 minutes), provides broad spectrum sun protection (UVA and UVB protection), and is paraben-free. Plus, it comes in a convenient, easily-transportable recyclable pouch, making it easy to throw into your pool bag.

This sweet, summery peach color is universally-flattering on all skin tones, and is the perfect hue to transition you from Summer into Fall. Plus, this lip gloss has a shimmery look, giving your lips an iridescent finish.
Obliphica Seaberry Hair Serum: This weightless hair serum nourishes, repairs, and protects hair from Sun and heat-styling damage. Plus, it helps revitalize damaged, dry hair while providing essential moisture to tame flyaways and frizz. It can be used on dry or wet hair, and leaves hair feeling silky soft and smooth.
Orly Breathable Nail Treatment + Color (in Beauty Essential): Launching just this month, Orly’s brand new Breathable collection is an innovative, new way to both treat and color your nails. Designed for the polish-aholic, this all-in-one nail treatment and nail polish color contains everything you need to get a gorgeous manicure. This one bottle contains your base coat, color, and topcoat. And, that’s not all… since the polish is breathable, it’s actually good for your nails, making them healthier, stronger, and less brittle.

Live What You Love Notecard Set from Papyrus: Celebrate the joys of life by inspiring others with this set of 12 charming notecards (and envelopes) that feature a positive message set on a pretty, pink floral backdrop. Even though we all love the ease and convenience of texting or emailing people, nothing surprises someone more than by finding a sweet, hand-written card inside their mailbox. That’s why the art of writing letters is definitely worth preserving.
Rahua Body Shower Gel: Containing ingredients from the Rainforest, this 100% natural shower gel cleanses and hydrates your skin, while imparting a light, refreshing fragrance. Energize your shower experience with this organic, gluten free and vegan shower gel.
