Purple Plum Fairy & Fashion Blendz' Contest Winners

Mea culpa, mea culpa. I am deeply sorry for posting the winners a bit late than we all had probably expected. I had been quite busy lately that I didn’t had the chance to actually sit down and go online. Aside from that, I had to meet up with our generous sponsor, Ms. Joanne Tuanquin, owner of Fashion Blendz because we had agreed early on that she’ll be the one to draw out the winners. Finally, we were able to arrange the draw last week. So who actually won the contest? Ms. Joanne Tuanquin picked out the winners. Watch the video below.

Here's the video:

Purple Plum Fairy and Fashion Blendz would like to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who joined our mini giveaway. We hope you’ll continue to join in our future contests soon. Congratulations to all the three winners! You guys won two items each from Fashion Blendz. Winners will receive an email from Purple Plum Fairy with details on how they can receive their prizes. However, winners MUST email back within 72 hours from the time they received our email for some verification. Failure to do so might forfeit the said prizes.

Again, thank you very much for joining. Please keep visiting Purple Plum Fairy’s main blog and Security Blanket (my food blog) for future promos and contests. (I’m cooking another one again soon in time for Christmas. Promise, this is bigger and a whole lot better.)

Purple Plum Fairy might spread some of her magical pixie dusts on her blog’s lucky loyal visitors, subscribers and frequent commentors as well as those who posts on Purple Plum Fairy’s page on Facebook.

xoxo,

Purple Plum Fairy's Mini-Giveaway from Fashion Blendz

Some people had asked me, why the monicker "Purple Plum Fairy"? Well, aside from the obvious--I love the color Purple, my real name was coined by Irish satirist and poet, Jonathan Swift which depicts a butterfly. Since butterfly had wings, I figured, I'd rather use fairy. But people still ask me, is there such a thing as purple plum? The answer is YES. Here's what I've recently learned.

The Purple Plum Fairy Tree.

Latin name: Prunus cerasifera 

Purple leaf plum is a small deciduous tree commonly planted for its deep reddish-purple leaves and white/pale pink flowers that are among the first to appear in spring. Although it is short lived, it is fast growing and great for use as a specimen or shade tree.

I do not mean that my blog is short lived though, hopefully not. But I liked the fact that it's the first one to appear in spring. It shows a lot of hope and inspires people in the same manner that I'd want my blog to (somehow in my own little way) touch the lives of my readers or followers. The Purple Plum Fairy page on Facebook had recently shot up to almost a hundred likers, it was something I had not expected, not even in dreams. So I'd have to say that from the bottom of my heart (or is that hypothalamus?), I am really grateful for that. 

Sharing is one thing I've always liked to do because there's a different sense of fulfillment within each time you give. Honestly, had I been well-off, I would probably be a philanthropist. Going back to the sharing thing and giving back, as I have posted on our Facebook page last week, Purple Plum Fairy and our generous partner, Fashion Blendz had decided to have a mini-giveaway for our readers and followers. It's our way of thanking all the people who have liked us and followed Purple Plum Fairy, Security Blanket and even the not so active Soulful Travels (sorry guys, I'll try to make it up soon.) It's time to spread some pixie dusts...
Here's what you might just win. Your very own Fashion Blendz clothing and/or accessory from this collection. We'll be giving two items each for three lucky winners. That wasn't bad, right? 

Here's the contest mechanics:

5. Comment on this blog post with your answer to the question: "How do you share your blessings?" (Please don't forget to include your name and email address after your answer.)


All 5 steps are mandatory. Failure to do so will not make you eligible to win. 

Don't worry though, I can assure you, there are more freebies to come your way. Next month, the Fairy will have some special pixie dusts to share for Mommies out there and their little ones. It promises to be something else since it's my birthday month. But for now, we hope everyone will participate in our mini giveaway.

Good Luck to everyone,

Fashion Blendz: Where One Finds Great Buys at Bargain Price!

Believe it or not, but she started out her business out of her desire to stop impulsive buying. "I figured I had to learn how to put this shopaholic attitude into something good. So I decided to start a small business for the sake of satisfying my cravings for shopping," says Ms. Joanne Tuanquin, owner and creator of online shop, Fashion Blendz.  She started with a really small capital in 2009. Back then, she  was selling cool t-shirts and it became some sort of a "trial" period for her. But soon, she had to add in more items like accessories, shoes and other fashionable stuff.  "The accessories I used to sell were from my own creations, making accessories was a hobby. But since I had a regular job, I could no longer handle such as I didn't have enough time," explains Joanne.

Ms. Joanne Tuanquin,  owner and creator of online fashion shop Fashion Blendz.

Joanne began to sell not just unique shirts, but other casual items like fashionable shorts, tank tops, casual tops, dresses, office blouses, leggings, and on some occasions (if time permits her to do so), she still sells her handmade bead accessories. Joanne sells both retail and wholesale. For bulk purchases, she offers free shipping nationwide. And most importantly, her clothes are trendy, comfy and unbelievably affordable. 

Ms. Tuanquin is an avid shopper. Here she trots around Singapore to find great stuff to sell.

Fashion Blendz clothing is also reliable when it comes to sizing. When you order a size, Joanne makes sure it will perfectly fit you so that there'll be no hassle, and no reason for returning them. You'd be really impressed with the high quality and you'll be grateful you've ordered them for these clothes are the types and trends that lasts for years.  You'd never grow tired wearing them because Fashion Blendz clothes are so comfy to wear.

If you really are aiming for stylish clothing and accessories and achieve that elegant look, you'll never go wrong with Fashion Blendz. You can make an extravagant statement without sacrificing your budget. You don't need to resort to those Ukay-ukay (second hand clothes or items) anymore, because why would you buy something rottenly old when you can own a fashionable brand new one for a bargain price?

"Don't be afraid to mix and match, experiment and feel good about yourself. Sometimes attaching a big rose to your belt can make a huge difference. Be creative with your clothes. Get ideas from the ones who's been doing it a long time.  Wear clothes that flatter you," Joanne advises.

You can find Fashion Blendz in bazaars such as Aming Tribo bazaar at St. Joseph's College during their foundation day and by visiting them online through their multiply account or you could also LIKE their fan page on Facebook. 

As of this time, Joanne plans of putting up her own exclusive designs and participating in more bazaars. She dreams of owning boutique named after her own brand or label and wants to expand her market as well in other parts of the country.  She hopes to see her own business boom and become a supplier and retailer for big department stores. She wants to expand her business, not only to reach more market and profitability, but more so because she wants to give more people more jobs and future employment.
