Reviews and Giveaways

Woof and I talked about possibly doing reviews and giveaways when we started this blog. We considered how cool it would be to be able to try new things and then share our experiences with our readers, and even share the product itself! However, I believed that these opportunities would just come our way if we waited a little while, and that just wasn't true. After I realized that wasn't working, I joined She Blogs and Business 2 Blogger, thinking that would bring offers to us, but it turns out that mostly works for the bigger blogs, and not so much for the smaller ones. Finally, I decided to try to email some places I felt fit our readers, our blog, and our lifestyle perfectly. This was probably one of the best ideas I've had in months! The first place I contacted, Dorm Co., agreed to do a guest post and giveaway on this blog (hint: the product is a must have for college students). You could have knocked me over with a feather, I was so surprised and excited to be working with them! I emailed more places, and I have yet to receive an email with a flat 'no!' While one company said they can't do it right now, they did leave possibility open in the future, and I'm really excited to have made that contact! Also, Country Bob's All-Purpose Sauce agreed to a review and giveaway on the blog as well!

The blog will still be, at its' heart, a blog run by and for college students. We'll still update on our lives, interesting things that happen, and occasional lists (I sure make enough of them!), but we're also going to add in reviews, giveaways, and pretty soon I'm going to start posting about deals that students (and their families) might like as well! I'm really excited about this new development in the blog, and I can't wait to see where it takes us!

Perpetually Excited,

P.S.

This song is so cute, I just know everyone is going to love it!

Free Stuff

I am really funny about free stuff. When I know something is coming in the mail, I check the mail 20 times a day every day. Even Sunday, just in case. I talk about whatever it is all the time, purely out of excitement. And then when I get the item, I rip it open and i immediately examine the contents very carefully, like I'm trying to look through them. Really, I just want to see what it is that I got and see how much it weighs and what it's made of, because I've spent so much time thinking about it by then that I'm convinced it's made of gold and is the best thing ever. Then, with the product in my hand, I think about all the things I want to do with it. If at all possible, I put it to use right away, even if I'm in the middle of something. Yes, I am funny about free stuff.

With the move-in date for my new apartment creeping closer and closer, I have made a pledge to hold all the free stuff that won't rot until I move in. This has been incredibly hard for me, since these products are all really cool, and I want to try them right now. I am excited to have some cool food for my new place, though, and I really enjoy planning ahead and making lists of what I have, what I need, what I want, and what sort of space there will be. I did find out that I do have another roommate. She seems to have some of the same interests of Woof and I, and she has a chameleon, but that's about all I know right now.

I wish August would be tomorrow so I can open some of these things! : (

Off to make a time machine,

P.S. There will be some new things in the shop this week that you may want to look out for, including some really pretty scarves!

She bought us Kool-Aid!!!!!

My mom just called and she said she bought Woof and I 3 different flavored sugar-free kool-aids! Yay! That means that, until we get off our lazy butts and buy more water from the store, we can drink from the tap!!! If you're not as excited as I am, then maybe this is the sort of thing that would get you excited...

In other news... Our etsy shop is opening today! Woof and I are really excited to put up what we have! Hopefully it's done by 5:00 PM, so that I won't be thinking about it while I'm at work tonight. Last, but not least, here's a video of an 8th grader singing about partying and riding in a convertible. If you can make it all the way through, you're superhuman.

Love always,
