{Featured Lovely+Giveaway}
Meet Michelle of Heartfelt Balance, Handmade Life

I was born and raised in Florida.  
I lived in Tallahassee, 
where I attended Florida State 
to earn my degree in 
fashion.  

I met my hubby on a cruise. 
Six years later, I moved to Ohio.  
I've been in Ohio for 12 years now and
my hubby and I will be celebrating our 
10 year anniversary 
this year.

I have a wonderful husband 
who is a carpenter.  
And 
I have two kids--
an 8 year old boy and 
a 5 year old girl.  

Logan, my 8 year old 
is into anything LEGO 
and has recently found out that he 
loves swimming.  

Jaycee is my funky little diva.  
She is one of the most active people I've ever met.  
It is sometimes a challenge keeping her busy!
a Mish-Mash of mommy stuff.  
I float back and forth between different topics.  

Sometimes I focus on cooking and recipes.  
Sometimes I focus on crafts.  
Sometimes I might write heartfelt mommy thoughts 
or show you a little bit of the local fun. 

I've recently started doing a "Daily Fashion Post", 
where I create an outfit of the day.  
Since I earned my degree in fashion, 
I miss the clothes!  
It's a way for me to feel like I'm still involved.
I've recently started selling mark. cosmetics.  
It's another way I can stay in touch with the beauty/fashion world.  
It's been a lot of fun so far.  
I can't wait to see where it takes me!

***
Courtney here:
I "met" Michelle via the MayDay Follow Fest!
I really like her daily outfit posts 
and was happy to hear that she started a mark. business.  
They have such trendy and affordable cosmetics!  
Michelle recently mentioned that she is growing out her gray…
and I have to say…I'm super impressed by her choice!  
I hope that when my hair starts turning that I will look as stunning as she does!  
Doesn't she look amazing!?


You can connect more with Michelle here: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest.


Don't leave yet!  
Michelle is generously giving away some mark. goodies 
to one lovely Baxtron{Life} reader!
