SLY Awards: Michael Stars

Have you been noticing all of the spring scarves in stores and clothing catalogs this season? I think it’s the trend of the moment – and a very fun one, I might add.

As such, it’s fitting that Michael Stars has generously offered a Cool Breeze Scarf ($42) in the color Punch to SLY Award recipient Sarah Bessey.

The scarf reminded me of her because it’s breezy, laidback, and beautiful…just like she is! It is a soft, lightweight, and lovely accessory piece. The fringed edges add just the right casual touch for that “I’m-put-together-but-not-pretentious” look.

If this is your first introduction to Michael Stars, you’ll want to check out their tees first (it’s what they’re famous for…and there’s one for every occasion!), but the brand also offers fashionable dresses, sweaters, bottoms, and accessories.

Michael Stars has generously donated 2 Cool Breeze Scarves for this SLY Awards promotion – one for Sarah and one for the giveaway. I received no product or monetary compensation for this post. I’m just excited to celebrate Sarah and…you.

*UPDATE* The winner is #15 Jennifer. Congratulations!

Somebody Loves You, Sarah Bessey

Congratulations to Sarah Bessey…this week’s recipient of a SLY Award here on Metropolitan Mama.

It’s very rare that I stumble across a blog and subscribe RIGHT AWAY because I get positively sucked in.

That happened with Sarah’s blog, however.

I found Emerging Mummy several months ago and was immediately mesmerized by Sarah’s eloquence, her sincerity, and her way of living life with such a delightful splash. It is obvious that she knows LOVE…and that she is spreading it to those in her circle.

For starters, she is a gentle and thoughtful parent to her two tinies – Anne and Joseph. She doesn’t just do things without thinking – she has reasons (and I so love that).

Sarah also works as the Director of Marketing and Communications for Mercy Ministries, a non-profit residential program that serves a diverse population of young women from various socio-economic backgrounds, ages 19-28. The program is free and voluntary…open to young women who face a combination of life-controlling issues such as eating disorders, self-harm, drug and alcohol addictions, physical and sexual abuse, and unplanned pregnancy.

Sarah wrote, “It’s a life-long dream to be a part of the Mercy team. I first heard about this ministry almost 12 years ago and have always loved and supported it. Now, to be a part of opening the first Canadian home, well, it’s a God-thing, for sure. I am so honoured and blessed to be here. We’re going to be opening on May 29th, welcoming the women of Canada in to restore hope and transform lives.”

Won’t you join with me as I celebrate Sarah and shower her with two surprise gifts hand-selected just for her? Oh, and YOU will have a chance to win both products too.

If you know Sarah in real life or if you read her blog [Emerging Mummy], please leave a compliment here for her. Let’s give her something to smile about today!
