giveaway: summer staples.

due to the fact that today i hit my 300th reader & i really adore you people, i have decided to host a giveaway. I'm not particularly sure if i'm allowed to do that but hey, it's free goodies. I'm sure you won't oppose.

I am one that enjoys forcing my ways upon others, as you know. I'm bossy. It's fine. We're getting over it. I have a few absolutely necessary items for this upcoming season & i would like to share a nice gift basket with someone- if you want to have a meg-like summer, you may enter.

further explanation of items: (click to enlarge.)
one: a noisy & sassy nail polish to embrace the warm, carefree season.
two: (almost) ray-bans. Gray & yellow for a chic look.
three: sidewalk chalk, you are never too old.
four: the playlist that is on repeat while wearing my almost-ray-bans with the windows down.
five: tangy, sweet, addicting twizzlers to share at girls night.
six: a sexy boy for girls night.
seven: if zac efron walks out of your tv, you'll need these.
eight: wonder, mega-bubble wand. it will change your life & bring loads of smiles.
nine: see here.
ten: a pleasant smell to put in your ride.
eleven: for roasting purposes.
twelve: an adorable notepad to leave anonymous love notes & to keep tract of saturday to-do lists.
thirteen: crystal light packets. i apologize for a further addiction you will suffer with.
fourteen: red nail polish to allure a mate for a summer romance & to feel classy.



how to enter:
(this feels far too legitimate for my liking. call me naomi.)
i'm completely taking this from other blogs because i have no earthly idea the giveaway rules but this is what we will be doing. (do you like how i keep saying "we" instead of "i?" this is a joint effort.)
Essentially, you can have your name in the raffle three times. Tricky, tricky, i know.
one: comment. that's all it takes.
two: follow/subscribe because i'm vain.
three: blog about this giveaway & post the link.

here's the bright side, i'm not naomi & i don't have 9000 followers. you'll probably win the goodies that will brighten your summer.
if you want the pessimistic side as well, here is it: i'm not naomi, they aren't real ray-bans & i can't give you zac efron.

oh, ps.
this lovely giveaway will be closed friday, april 29.
