We're interrupting today's regularly scheduled programming for a very special announcement! 


Today is Indie Know's one year anniversary!

Thank you so much to all of our readers. To those of you who have been with us since the beginning and to those of you who've stumbled in for the first time, thank you for your support! We love you all. Over the past year, we've published a little over 300 posts and we plan on continuing to provide you all with regular quality content. We have a couple of very exciting things coming we'd like to share with you.

First on the list, we're having a giveaway!


One of our favorite things to do is spread the indie love, so we're delighted to announce this giveaway! We've put together a stash of brand new products from some of our favorite indie brands, and we want to send this prize package to one lucky winner. We've included skincare, lip products, bath products, perfume, and color cosmetics. There are quite a few full sizes and a bunch of samples so you can try a ton of brands all in one go. We weren't able to include all our favorite brands, but this is a good starting point!

All the prizes are pictured above, and the brands include: Darling Girl Cosmetics, Shiro Cosmetics, Silk Naturals, Haus of Gloi, Aromaleigh, Detrivore Cosmetics, Darling Clandestine, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Innocent + Twisted Alchemy, One Hand Washes the Other, Chinovi Cosmetics, Kiss My Sass (now part of All That Sass), Femme Fatale Cosmetics, Dawn Eyes Cosmetics, and My Pretty Zombie!

We're also delighted to announce a brand new feature, "Jessye Gets Bubbly." We'd like to introduce you to and welcome the awesome Jessye, who will be doing features on bath and body products. Jessye is a bath and body aficionado who will share her reviews as she dives into indie brands like Fortune Cookie Soap and Haus of Gloi. We're very excited to add this feature and we can't wait to read her reviews! This is scheduled to start next Sunday and will run on the second Sunday of every month to start!

This has been such an exciting year for all of us here at Indie Know and we can't believe how fast it's gone by. Please let us know if you have anything you'd like us to take a look at or if you have any ideas for us going forwards! We're always looking for ways to be more helpful and share indie awareness.

Thank you all again and good luck in the giveaway! We will be taking entries until next Monday (7/14) and we will announce the winner shortly after.

Much love,
the Indie Know blogging team
