The Chic Life has a new look! What do you think of my bloggie makeover? Not too shabby, eh? I would hope not considering how many hours (and hours and hours) I poured into it over the weekend.
I’ll go into the nitty gritty of how I moved my blog another day…maybe this weekend?
For now, I want to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E!!!!!!!!!!
What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway?
Since I’m feeling generous, I’m offering three different prizes for three different winners! More chances to win is always a plus, no? 
Most of you guys know I make jewelry (under my biz name D Celestine).
I put a little something together just for you my dear readers.
On the to the swag!
Option #1 – A Handmade Sterling Silver and Onyx Gemstone Necklace
This necklace has a modern touch with a hammered oval as part of the pendant. This classic style necklace with a modern twist would look great with any outfit!
The jewelry may be shipped to either the US or Canada.
Option #2 – A Pair of Handmade Sterling Silver and Rainbow Crystal Earrings
These little dazzlers would add a punch of fun to any outfit. The rainbow crystal color makes these earrings go with almost any color!
The jewelry may be shipped to either the US or Canada.
Option #3 – A Batch of Dreena’s Homestyle Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
You don’t have to be vegan to fall in love with these cookies! Trust me, I’m a meat eater and I’m a big fan of them!
These can only be shipped to the US.

I would definitely wear that new necklace out for some sushi if I did an Eat in Month challenge! Way to go!
yummm! agreed with sushi, however the necklace would look elegant as you eat a very tasty steak. So steak house would be PRIME!
I love the necklace… It is so elegant, after EIM I would go to my favortie place to eat, it’s a japanese steakhouse, and they cook the food in front of u and it is so fun.
Beautiful jewelery and the cookies look delicious! The earrings would be my first pick because they would look great with everything! Ethiopian cuisine gets my vote, it’s packed with flavor and antioxidant filled spices!
i LOVE your jewelries! they are so beautiful.
i would love to win the necklace or earrings!!!
you’re on my google reader!
and i forgot to mention where you should dine out in my previous comment.
i think you should dine out at french restaurant with wonderful course meals!!
i’ve subscribed to your mails!
Updated my google reader and blogroll!
Wow, I really think that any of them would be nice to win!
P.S. I have a U.S. address even though I live in Germany.
First off, LOVE THE NEW BLOG! It’s gorgeous!
Second, the jewelry is amazing! Loving those earrings to pieces!
Third, OMG – eat in month IS almost over! I hadn’t even thought about where to go out and eat to celebrate. Hmmm, I’m offering three suggestions:
1.) Zink in Uptown {i love their food}
2.) 300 East here on East Blvd
or
3.) McCormick & Schmicks in South Park – I’m not sure if you’re a seafood fan, but I just love their fresh fish menu, and the King Salmon is ahhhhhmazing!
Personally, my first stop will probably be lunch at Pikes on Monday. Yum!
I shall tweet and blog about your giveaway and new blog as soon as I get back from Boston Sunday night. Those cookies are making me drool! LOL
You are SO talented!!! Beautiful jewelry and GREAT job on the new website! I’m updating my blogroll/link list
Those cookies look amazing!! I have a biased opinion-I think you should eat out once the challenge is over because I love eating out!
I think I would choose the cookies. They look delicious!
And I’d eat out at a classic burger place and get a nice, juicy burger
And I updated my Google Reader!
The vegan cookies! I have always wanted to try them!
I wondered where you were……..
I’d love that necklace and a piece of pizza
I like the earrings first, necklace second.
If I were you I’d eat at either Olive Garden or Japanese Hibachi Restaurant.
I love the new look/site! It’s amazing!
I’d love to win the earrings. Beautiful!
I’d go out to eat at The Melting Pot, if there’s one near you. I find that most restaurants serve things that are fairly easy to replicate at home, but perfect fondue is something that still eludes me!
Where can I subscribe to your blog feed? I don’t see the link on your page. Am I a doofus? I am searching all over…lol
I already follow on Twitter tiger1962
Cookies! Om nom nom.
I would definitely pick sushi. You can make that at home, but it’s pretty time-consuming.
I updated my blogger and google reader! The necklace is gorgeous, and the cookies look amazing. Such a pretty new website!
Also: I updated my blog to include your new address.
I would like the cookies and i think you should go to mama ricottas!
i updated my google reader too!
I updated my google reader! i love the new site! Congrats!
i would love to win the necklace or earrings! They are beautiful! You should go out to an awesome sushi place onces you finish your challenge!
I tweeted @herlittledogtoo
gorgeous!!! I would love those earrings, but everything looks great
Chris and I are contemplating on where we should eat out too. We’re thinking this Moroccan restaurant called marrakech but that would be a splurge and cancel out our other eat in month savings lol I can totally relate to hours and hours of blog work and switching over I was about to cry when it didn’t look quite the same. Such hard work, you are awesome for doing it all by yourself 
Ooh, cookies please!
Also, without question.. DIM SUM! <3
Love the new look – very nice work!
You are super talented! Congrats on the new blog addy. I changed it in my google reader!
OH – and I’d love to win any of those options!!!
The new blog makeover looks great! I love that you kept that original teapot photo–I loved that image!
Fun giveaway–my first choice would definitely be the necklace. It’s gorgeous!
The necklace is beautiful! I need some updated jewelery…
Beautiful necklace!
I would definitely go out for sushi after Eat in Month.
Subscribed to the new site!
I love the necklace!! Beautiful.
My vote would be for sushi.. mmm, delish!
and I updated my reader!
Your first meal should be something that you don’t know how to cook yourself and have not had all month…maybe your favorite bar or cafe?
I love the earrings you made and they would be my choice if I were to win!
changed your url in my blogroll
tweeted too!
Just posted!! Let’s see what’s left?? lol
aaaand I also changed your feed in reader
May I ask how you transfered your site so that it shows up right in reader and google? It’s weird for google when I type in eatingrd it still shows the mytastytravels address and not just http://eatingrd.com? wasn’t sure since I can’t do a 301 direct with subdomains. Does it just take time? Thanks!
I would love to win that necklace!
As for eats I would base the decision on what you have been craving the most this month. Something ethnic with specialized ingredients that you don’t generally make at home. When we go out most often it’s for Thai, Vietnamese or Indian.
Gosh… they’re all great prizes. For me, it’s really tied between the earrings and the cookies. I’d be so happy with either. I’m gonna say that cookies though.

I’d love to win the necklace! It looks beuatiful.
Also, you are on my google reader feed
I would love to win any of your pretty jewelry, but the rainbow crystal earrings are gorgeous! I would eat sushi-it’s healthy and there are oh so many options!!!
Honestly, any place with sushi since I can’t get good sushi in Europe! I don’t really care where! I don’t really eat out to begin with b/c I’m over german food after being here for 2 years already, and the exchange rate kills me! And yes, I do have two addresses! One is military (U.S.), that I pick up on base and the other is for german mail to come to my house.
Already a subscriber to your blog!
I would love to win the earrings – how do I subscribe to your feed? I don’t see the link. The necklace is gorgeous too and that would be my second choice!! SO nice of you to have this contest – thank YOU!
Hey Marie,
Do you have gmail? If so, I like Google Reader – it’s one of the links in the top of Gmail where it says Calendar, Documents – look for “Reader”.
If not, there are some RSS links to the right side of the blog.
I would love to win the earrings–love them!
After the challenge, I would go out for some sushi!!
heading over to subscribe to your blog now!
Honestly I would be happy to win any three of your items, though I think the jewlery is so unique that either piece would be a lovely addition.

I would LOVE the necklace. I’m a necklace girl for sure!!
If I were you, I’d be heading out to some fabulous bakery for a decadent croissant or some such item. Something you would never concoct at home. Pain au chocolat. Drool.
Added to blogroll. Meant to do that last week!!

you should eat at Chili’s and get bottom less chips and salsa and fajitas!
Oh my goodness I just cleaned out some of my emails from way long ago & came across an email from tcl when I won this contest. I remember responding to the email but never receiving an itemhah Time flies!!
I was thinking about this just the other day. I stopped making jewelry since but I may still have the supplies to whip up the earrings you were supposed to get. If not, I’d love to send you something else anyways. Email me – thechiclife at gmail dot com.
