***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?
The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?
And here are all the contest deets:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
- BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Turn it down!
I’d rather be reading a book or watching a movie sitting on my couch in some slouchy clothes than all glammed up to go to a loud restaurant or club.
Jeannette says
PUMP IT UP!
I am SO EXCITED about this giveaway! I already own three of her prints and I just LOVE her art!
Lindsay says
PUMP IT UP!
I thrive in the chaos. I swear, I get more done if I have less time to do it. I was unemployed for a month— when I got laid off I vowed to spend hours at the gym, cleaning house, painting, renovating….. yeah. I just spent hours watching TV.
I need chaos and a little bit of stress to fire me up and keep me motivated!
Sidebar: These prints are adorable!
Brynea says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN
When I’m at home with just my husband or out with friends I like it to be calm, and quiet for good discussion and to wind down for the day, but usually when we are with our families it is the opposite! Both of our families are loud and boisterous, and enjoy laughing and goofing around most of the time. With family…the louder the better!
Korinne says
Turn it down please! :)
Kate says
PUMP IT UP!
I am a very loud person and my house is always rocking. My poor neighbors can probably hear my entire life.
kate says
Pump it…down? I like to pump it, hubby likes to dial it down. So we help balance each other out, and we get a little taste of each other’s worlds when they collide. :)
Ania says
TURN IT DOWN! mostly :) I enjoy good company more than anything else.
Kendall says
PUMP IT UP!!!
Pump up the jam!! :) I love love LOVE activity, music, people, and rambunctious events!! Most especially love all the MUSIC festivals that happen when the weather turns to sun shiny love!!! :)
Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway, the artwork is very inspiring!! :)
carriegel says
Turn It Down! Thank you.
Sarah says
TURN IT DOWN!
I work at a fast-paced, often noisy PR firm so I like to chill out with friends or cook dinner on weeknights after work. I’ve found that chopping veggies is a great stress reliever.
Christy says
TURN IT DOWN!
While it’s fun to “pump it up” on occasion, I prefer to keep it down on a day-to-day basis :)
dinah says
PUMP IT UP
i like it when there’s lots of activity! i just can’t sit still!
Jill says
TURN IT DOWN! My two toddler boys keep it loud enough for me. :)
Lacey@ says
TURN IT DOWN? I don’t know I’m split here. Life has moments to pump it up and turn it down but I have an 11 month old so I guess I’m enjoying the simple and quiet things more and more.
Katie S says
TURN IT DOWN! : )
Tiffany says
Turn it down, we enjoy our quieter lifestyle.
JoEllen says
TURN IT DOWN.
With 3 kids, I like it as quite as possible as often as possible (which is almost never).
Carrie says
Turn it down! Balance of course is key, but of the two I prefer to relax and enjoy the quiet moments.
Rachel says
Turn it down… as a full-time graduate student, I live for the weekend when I can just sit still and take a breath! I’m glad the weather is getting nicer, too, because it’s even more relaxing when I can do my sitting still and breathing deeply outside. :)
Lindsay says
PUMP IT UP!
I need to have that bicycle print! So cute. I live in a house of chaos with 3 roommates and a cat. Between all of our friends/boyfriends/family coming going visiting, we always have a houseful of people and I absolutely love it.
Emily W says
TURN IT DOWN!
Shiri says
PUMP IT UP! -but only if it’s the stuff I like…
brenda says
Turn It Down
peace, quiet, serenity
Vicki says
TURN IT DOWN!
I think that I am constantly saying those words to my husband.
Krystal says
TURN IT DOWN!
With all the hustle and bustle of college life, I enjoy those rare quiet “me” moments. However, I like to pump up my music and dance like a fool when I get ready for the night…which may or may not have resulted in me once throwing out my neck ;)
Chrystine says
Turn it down
Rachel says
pump it up!
I loveeee the “wherever we are together” print!
Franny says
Turn it Down!
I’m a homebody :)
Emily says
pump it up!
i am a public school band teacher and i see 300 kids a week from 5th – 12th grade. i hear everything from the first few squeaks and squaks to near college-level musicianship. i end up putting in about 60 hours of (noisy) work a week, in addition to practicing and going to my own rehearsals as well as my husband’s performance (he is a professional musician in DC). although i would love for life to be a little quieter sometimes, it definitely never gets boring around here!
MmePaulita says
Pump it up! Live is meant to be used up and enjoyed
Erin says
TURN IT DOWN…I like to keep the peace and quiet. i find I can’t think when it is too loud
Katie B. says
Turn it down! I like to be snuggled up with my honey. I’m a fairly chill person.
Kristin T says
Pump It Up! I love being surrounded by people and being active.
Terri says
“PUMP IT UP” I do enjoy some nice quiet down time but I am a true social butterfly at heart!
Rachel McCoy says
PUMP UP THE VOLUME!
Shannon says
TURN IT DOWN! Although there are moments that really should be louder.
Carrie says
Turn it down!
I used to love being in the thick of it and being surrounded by everything all a-buzz, but now nothing beats sitting on my deck, reading a book (or knitting), with a cup of tea (or glass of wine), and my husband and dog by my side.
Kristy says
PUMP IT UP!
I love to hear laughter, especially my kids.
Kim H. says
TURN IT DOWN!
A nice park and a book please!
stacy says
Turn it down, but with three children it is quite rare!
Kelly says
PUMP IT UP! I just found out about your blog and can’t stop! My husband and I live in a 1930s house and though it is in great condition, are obsessed with making small house projects – building a mantle, shelves and working on our backyard. Some may say was have addictive personalities :) We love to host and entertain our friends and family and are so proud of what all we do to make our house a home!
sylvie says
“Turn it down”
Definitely a low key life, especially now having moved from San Francisco to Nebraska!
Heather says
Turn it down! Although I always have ambient noise like a quiet station on pandora in the background, I prefer to stay calm, cool, and collected!
Heather R says
Pump it up for some good dancing and laughter and then turn it down for some snuggles and love with my hubs.
Amanda says
Turn it down. I love a night of loud salsa dancing, but for the most part I am happy with a quiet night at home with my husband, sharing conversation over dinner and a bottle of wine.
lindsey says
TURN IT DOWN
I love relaxing, with a coffee and a good book.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Eryn Chandler says
Pump It Up and Turn it down.
a nice balance between the two is always good. I’m usually in a “pump it up” kind mood near the beginning of the weekends and the latter towards the end :-)
Kayt says
Pump it up, then turn it down!
I love the family get-togethers, the parties and BBQs, with lots of people, and time with my ranbunctious toddler. I also cherish my quiet Friday mornings after my husband leaves for work before said toddler gets up. I can keep the TV and iPod off, and enjoy a magazine or an interesting book.
