Send Something Good Link Up

Good morning lovelies!

It feels good to get back to blogging. I've felt a little out of sorts and out of touch over the past couple weeks but things are getting good. I think I'm transitioning from worn-down-angry-tired-student-person to happy-energized-optimistic-happy-life-type-person. 


Speaking of happy life type person, how about some happy life type stuff? Send Something Good has exploded this time around! Gentri, kaitlyn & I are being put. to. work. We're seriously looking at the biggest package swap ever! Today, I'm taking a slight break from food - blogging about food, that is. Not eating it - to bring you a collection of the finest package pals around!

One of the wonderful participants came up with a great idea yesterday and we thought, "heck! Why not??" So..... Today we're hosting a pre-package link up!

Essentially, we have two options. We can either share in a post the types of activities, material things, or general life stuff that we love. You know, the kinda stuff that makes us giggle and warm and fuzzy inside. Or option two, if a wish list isn't really our thing, just connect the latest post from our blog. I'm not an overly materialistic type of girl, and I figure if my pal takes the time to look over my blog and read some posts, they'll get a good feel for what I may or may not be into.

I.E. I have an "ethical" food blog and value good, whole, natural, real food and wine. My pal probably doesn't want to send me a case of kraft dinner....though that little gem does come in handy on days after I've had too much wine the night before.

Both options are fun ideas and will allow all of us to check out each others blogs, find out some juicy details about our secret package pal, and say hello to one other. Let's use this as a way to connect with people we otherwise might not. Let's have some fun!


Last time I was paired with Amy - and I was stoked with what she sent. It was like she knew me or something. Paper products, a book that looked kind of dorky (and by kind of, it had a giant sword on the front. It turned out to be a pretty stellar story though), fancy handmade decorating things. Plus she's a super awesome rad chick... Even if she is from Utah (JK, JK). 

I'm sure my new pal will be just as awesome so I'm gonna leave it up to her innate intelligence, serious good looks and general awesomeness to figure it out. I have faith in her.


In the meantime though, feel free to stop by any of the linked up blogs and say hello. These chicks are rad!

P.S. Don't forget! Those who are taking part in Send Something Good can get specialized wrapping and gifts @ kaitlyn's Etsy shop - use the promotional code: SENDSOMETHINGGOOD and receive 20% off your purchase!
