Blogiversary Giveaway!

Posted in Awesome, Blogging, Bloggiversary, Giveaway, Want want want! by

I’ve been (officially) blogging for a year now! A YEAR! Hard to believe considering my first post consisted of this:

Sad, I know. But! I DID keep up with my blog, quite well, I thought, and so I present to you a fabulous giveaway for being amazing followers/readers/life partners/ninjas.

Back in the spring, a brand new Bath & Body Works opened up in the mall here in Kamloops. My mom and I were both equally excited to go check it out, and we fell in love with all the amazing fragrances and products. For my birthday, she bought me the Lemon scented body lotion from the Summer Vanillas collection and it’s AWESOME. (Like, “I’m just going to sit here and smell my arms because it smells so good” awesome) [That’s the bottle over there →]

Anyway, to avoid sending you a lotion explosion through the mail (because since when are the post offices nice to packages?), I’m going to give one lucky winner a $15 E-Gift Card to Bath and Body Works. You can use it the online store in case there’s no fabulous outlet near you. (Annnd you can blame them and not me if there’s a lotion explosion at your door.)

So what do you have to do to enter? Answers await you below:

You have FIVE ways to enter! Each one gives you one entry:

  1. Check out Bath & Body Work’s website here and leave a comment saying which product tickles your fancy.
  2. Follow my blog via RSS. Comment and let me know that you do!
  3. Follow me on Twitter @KaraChow and leave a comment letting me know!
  4. Tweet about this giveaway and post a link in the comments.
  5. Blog about this giveaway and leave the link in the comments.

Entry deadline will be Friday, July 23 at Midnight Pacific time. I’ll announce the winner on Monday, July 26! Good luck!

Note: I was not paid or approached by Bath & Body Works or their affiliates to do this giveaway. This is all for YOU by ME! <3

Where the F is my Post?

Posted in Blog Swap, Bloggerstock, Blogging by

So today was suppose to be “Post Day” for Bloggerstock, a new-ish blog swapping site that has people sign up and swap blogs once a month. I thought it would be great because I’d maybe gain some new readers and discover some new, awesome blogs all at the same time.

I, being the crazy, on-time kind of person that I am, wrote my post last week and emailed it away to my partner on time as I should have yesterday. Did I get any response from said person? Nope! Did I receive a post to put on my blog from anyone? Nope! Dammit it people! What’s wrong with you? If you commit to a blog swap, POST DAMMIT. So irritating!

Anyway, Alex, Bloggerstock organizer extraordinare, contacted me as he didn’t receive a post from his partner either. So now, instead of my original partner, my post is over on his page.

Go check it out!

In the meantime, hopefully someone sends me something to post on my page. I’m starting to lose hope in blog swapping. Back in March/April/Whenever the last 20SB Blog Swap was, I swapped with a girl and then a couple weeks later she outright deleted my post. Thanks!

Happy Wednesday otherwise! Tomorrow is Canada Day and I’m hanging out with my Mom at the park. If I get around to it, I’ll post photos Thursday night. If not, Monday it is!

And, What are your thoughts on Blog Swaps? Yay? Nay? Oy!?
