The Valentine Project

Sunday, January 19, 2014



Hello there!

So today I wanted to talk about a very special thing I'm organising, and that is the Valentine Project. Recently I've noticed that people have really started to hate this holiday, which I think is kind of silly. Okay, okay, I agree - it's way too commercial, but I think the point of Valentine's day is to show people that you love them. And of course you should do that everyday, but a whole day to celebrate our love for each other? Yes, please!

With that in mind, I wanted to put together a project for bloggers, Youtubers and creative minds alike. I want to invite everyone who has an idea for a Valentine-related post to share in on their media - be it Instagram, your blog, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, anything. You can even guest post on Nothin' Fancy. Really. - send me your Valentine's day related pitches to nothinfancyreally@gmail.com.

If you want to participate, please shoot me an e-mail, tweet me (https://twitter.com/nthnfncyrlly) or contact me in any other way. You can also just sign up the link party below, linking to your post about the Valentine Project or your first contribution! I really want this project to connect other creative minds - if you have another blogger in your area, collaborate on a post together!

You can write/film anything - hair, makeup, nails, recipes, DIY, books - anything at all! I will choose the best posts of the day and give them a special mention, and at the end, there will be a big post highlighting every one of your works.

Join if you were planning to write Valentine's Day themed posts anyway for a chance to win a secret prize. Yes, the best post (judged by me) will also win a personalized prize (I suggest you all start writing your wishlists! :P).

Sounds good? Join in! Project is open to ANYONE WORLDWIDE. Remember to tweet your posts with the hashtag #thevalentineproject and if you want to be entered for the prize, also tweet it at me (@nthnfncyrlly). Good luck lovelies. Share the love! <3

P.S. About the prize - I want to choose the best of the best and pick a prize especially for you, so that's why I cannot tell you what it is. It might be that makeup palette you've wanted forever or a perfume you've had on your wishlist (or a book. I approve of books). I will have a good rummage through your blog/social media and find the best gift for you!

  15. Hej :) Že nekaj časa spremljam tvoj blog in mi je res vđeč :) Tvoja ideja se mi zdi res super, ne vem zakaj nebi izkoristili možnosti, da praznujemo tako lepo čustvo! Sicer sem precej nova na beauty blogger sceni, ampak sem tako ali tako nameravala napisat nekaj postov na to temo, tako da kar linkam prvega :)
