Day 4 of Happiness Week (Check out Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3) and I’m going to let you in on something I learned in first year of university. It’s not a secret, and I am sure there are many out there who know this, but it definitely hits home for first year students who did not budget properly in the first semester and struggle through the second. This wonderful piece of advice is this…Free Sh*t is Good Sh*t.
Yes, Free Sh*t is Good Sh*t. It doesn’t matter if you need it. It doesn’t matter if you think you’ll ever use it. It doesn’t matter if the mere sight of it is turning your stomach and you think, “I would starve before I would eat that pudding!” Because you will starve. And then you’ll eat it. Or wear it, or use it, or sell it, or trade it. Free Sh*t always comes in handy. Sometimes you think you’ll like it and you end up loving it and wondering how you ever lived without it.
BBAW was a few short weeks ago and I had a great time checking out blogs and following along all week. I was also lucky enough to win, not one, but three giveaways. The first book I won was: The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men by Janie Bryant. It has these great illustrations throughout and awesome tips about dressing for your body type, making vintage modern, and an inside look into Mad Men. Hurrah!
The second book I won was an autographed copy of Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers and it came with two tattoos: one Team Gabe and one Team Luc. This was a fantastic book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy. And now I have a signed copy! This one is a Must Read and I’m not sure which tattoo I want to wear. Who do I support?! I think I’m Team Gabe. He seemed like the underdog and as much as I like a bad boy, a good boy can be so much more fun. Check out the tag line for it: “If you had to choose between Heaven and Hell, which would it be? …Are you sure about that?” Love it!
The third book I won hasn’t arrived yet, but I am anxiously awaiting it. I also have another review coming next week for a book I won on a blog giveaway. If it weren’t for the giveaway I probably never would have picked up Personal Demons, but man, am I glad I did.
Yeah, That Just Happened!
There you are, sad face! Last year I didn’t participate because I had a few other things going on, including participating in the 2010 Holiday Reading Challenge.
