#VV Friday Giveaway — Ophelia Bird Necklace

We’re baaaaackkkkk! Did you miss us last Friday? Of course you did, we give you free shit you greedy bitches!

This week we’re partnering with Ophelia Bird, a jewelry company ran by Nebraska-based mom Jessica Jahnke. Her pieces are so adorbs! For most of them, she uses vintage pieces and up-cycles them to something totally chic. Which we love, of course, because nothing says “I swear I have a heart,” like going green! Although I (#kj) love them all, my top two faves on her site right now are the tribal statement necklace and the lucky charm necklace. And of course, the giveaway necklace!

Jessica is going to send this pastel pink pendant necklace to three lucky winners! 

Made from new old stock vintage chain and up-cycled, re-purposed materials, this necklace is so perfectly pink and shabby chic. 

The large pastel pink faceted briolette pendant hangs from a gold ring and is suspended from an 18-inch gold-tone brass chain. It’s topped with a perfectly tarnished golden round and closes easily with a gold lobster clasp.

He Just IS That Into You

Hey, psychos.

As per the usj ush ujgh usual (what the shit is the abbrev for that!?), we have been receiving a plethora of questions via our Formspring asking us to please please PLEASE reveal the secrets behind the male mind and unveil what his completely fucking confusing not-so-clear signals really mean.

Allow me to preface this by saying that the number ONE way to know a guy you are interested in IS into you is….wait for it…..dun dun dun…here we go, ladies….you will be DATING each other. Duh, you loser. Hello?

Because more than half of the communication we have with these bros occurs via text, I decided it would be relevant to include some example texts that I’m sure we’ve ALL received from one bro or another.

You’re welcome.

“If he’s not ready to DTR, you better not be DTF.”

  • Bro Pro: He asks you to dinner instead of his place to “watch a movie.” If he is making strides to court you as opposed to just getting you in bed for a game of suck and blow, then you’re on the right track to relayshville, population=you.

Good: We should probably go out sometime, just let me know when’s good this week (7:16 p.m.)

Bad: Wanna come watch a movie at my place? (12:02 a.m.)

Ugly: hey amnber I think u sdhould probabley ride over (2:12 a.m.)

  • Bro Pro: If he texts/calls during daylight hours. If a bro is blowing you up (espesh between 11 p.m.-3 a.m.), he is interested in one thing—your vagina. Unless you are interested in simply being something for this guy to masturbate into, I suggest you don’t reply.

Good: Morning, girl (9:35 a.m.)

Bad: Where you at? (11:33 p.m.)

Ugly: we’ve got beer over here if ur interested (1:36 a.m.)

  • Bro Pro: He tells you/implies that he misses YOU, not just your ladyparts. Though we all love to be complimented on how much he loves that thing we do with our tongue, we’re more than just a perfect pair of T’s and pouty lips.

Good: I’d love to see you (8:01 p.m.)

Bad: Wouldn’t mind running into you sometime soon (10:59 p.m.)

Ugly: I really really really wanna hav sex w/ u (3:16 a.m.)

  • Bro Pro: He gives you compliments other than how much he loves your pillow talk. Stop. Stop. STOP. Pursuing guys who only talk about how nice your ass is and start dating men who appreciate your ass AND your brains.

Good: You seriously crack me up, funny, smart and beautiful (9:23 p.m.)

Bad: Has anyone ever told you how sexy you are? (11:22 p.m.)

Ugly: youre really hot and id prob not throw u outta bed if u were hre (1:19 a.m.)

  • Bro Pro: His friends know who you are (and not just how hot you are). If he is talking about you to his bros (and not just about how much he wants to know your cup size), then there’s a good chance that he’s interested in pursuing a little more than just friendship.

Good: Do you care if we hang out with John and Zach later? They love you (3:44 p.m.)

Bad:

Him: me and the guys are talking about you (9:18 p.m.)

You: really? (9:49 p.m.)

Him: yeah. My friends think you’re hot (9:55 p.m.)

Ugly: Conner just asked me when im gonna hit that (10:40 p.m.)

  • Bro Pro: He asks to hang out in advance. It shows that there aren’t other girls on the menu. You should expect to have at least three full days from the time of an invitation is extended to the actual event (date, cocktail, whatever).

Good: You interested in doing something Friday? (11:11 a.m.)

Bad: What are you doing later? (4:13 p.m.)

Ugly: ru free 2night? (9:14 p.m.)

Learn to be more savvy, sluts!

#VV Friday Giveaway — Ruffles With Love Workout Tops

It’s a common issue among those of us who are not into the whole T-shirt, Norts, tennis shoes everysingleday thing, that when we go to the gym we (ohmigosh) blend in. Sure, I use it as the only public place I can wear my ex’s fraternity shirts, and the only place I can check myself out in the mirror for extended periods of time without seeming conceited. But the gym needs to also be away to get some points across.

This week’s giveaway, gym shirts made by Ruffles With Love, will get across the point that you’re into looking good, but you’re also not a thrown away child either. Common broski-voiced sayings in girly colors accented by a bow on the back say “I may be disgusting and sweaty and listening to Olivia Newton John, but you can buy me a drink later.”

Ruffles With Love is giving away three of their shirts this week.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Like Ruffles With Love on Facebook.

2. Go to our Facebook page and find the link to #kj’s blog post for CTL, “The No BS Reasons You Should Get to the Gym.” Click “Share” and share with all of your Facebook friends! It should be right below the link about this giveaway! (Note: We CAN see who shares the link, so no cheating!)

3. Comment below with your name and email address.

The giveaway will last from now until 11:59 p.m., Sunday night. Monday morning we will pick the winners, and email you requesting your mailing address. You must reply within 24 hours to receive your shirt!

Thanksloveyoubye.
