***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?
The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?
And here are all the contest deets:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
- BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

I prefer music always on in the background with my husband practicing his guitar and my sister and I chatting and laughing in the living room. :)

Jen says
PUMP IT UP And TURN IT DOWN
i have to be reminded of my favorite yoga teacher ever who once before class just sat there quietly and listened to all the “chatter” going on. she made a statement how the energy in the room was fantastic. so i have to say that energy coming from people, animals, nature, etc is a wonderful thing. think thunderstorm!!!
however i love the silence of reading a book or being by yourself, so i’m cheating and saying both!

Melissa says
TURN IT DOWN!
I’m actually sitting with a puppy, in the dark, in the middle of the night on the internet right now because I LOVE the quiet! I should be sleeping, but I get so wound up during hectic days, that I take so long to wind back down. So I’m sitting here, listening to the courtyard fountain and watching the breeze ruffle the curtains. Listening to my puppy snore. I love the quiet.
Steph says

I like it loud and crazy…. but after a while I want to crawl into my little quiet cave :)

Since my life is so hectic during the week, I’d much rather have quiet time with friends or a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Christina says
TURN IT DOWN!! I would very much prefer a nice night hanging out on the couch [or in bed] with my fiance watching some true blood than hanging out with my fiance at a noisy, crowded bar.
Mariko says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN!
I’m a bit of both; my husband and I do like to hit the local bars every now and then. My husband also performs hip hop at the local bars and clubs; meaning his likes to blare his music…even at home. But I also like to stay at home and curl up to a good book, I do this more than the “pumping it up”. ;o)
Joshua says
“TURN IT DOWN” :D
We would much rather have it peaceful and be in a great conversation.

Of course I do love a quiet day at home with my hubby.
