***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!

Lindsey says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN!
Honestly, I like both, depending on my mood! Some days I just need quiet and relaxation…. and other days I just need to get out and have fun and be loud and active.
Sally C. says
TURN IT DOWN! I’m more a mellow vibe kind of person, although I can usually find the energy to do the pumped up lifestyle thing for a few hours.
Alicia Baer says

PUMP IT UP!!
I love being surrounded by close friends and a busy schedule. I do reserve one night of the week or a weekend morning to just take it easy and relax with nothing on the agenda.
Jordan says
Pump it up AND turn it down! :)

I love to cocoon at home with my husband and ignore the telephone. By the way…I love, love, LOVE the robots-with-manatee print. I want!
Carolina says
Pump it UP!!! Have to have noise.
Chelsea Lee says

I really enjoy spending time with my husband & having one-on-one’s with my girlfriends. Don’t get me wrong, though…I like a good night out on the town! I just enjoy my quiet time more :)
Briana says
TURN IT DOWN — Love a weekend sitting on a blanket by the river enjoying the sunshine and a good book with the fiance. Cue “aww.”
Anacelie Verde-Claro says
Turn it down…(I teach teenagers during the day!).
Rose says
TURN IT DOWN!
Sometimes I need a “break” from the day-to-day sounds, stresses and hassels of everyday life.
So, a bit of quiet times sounds good to me! Ahhhhhh….
Kimberly L says
“PUMP IT UP” & “TURN IT DOWN”
I actually prefer both… there are times when I like things lively and exuberant, and there are times when I just want to curl up in a comfy chair, in the sun and read a book.
Marilyn says
PUMP IT UP! until night time and then Turn it down.
ChristineMarie says
TURN IT DOWN
A quiet afternoon gardening, candlelit dinner, hot tea next to a cozy fire, late night scrabble game, creating art while listening to headphones… I like the calmer things in life. :)
Amanda says
75% TURN IT DOWN and 25% PUMP IT UP!
Now that I’m getting older (a ripe old 25! hahaha) I find myself enjoying snuggling up with a movie or working on projects at home. But there are those times that I like to go out and really have a raucous good time!
Karrie says
Turn it down (but pump it up on occasion!). Maybe I’m becoming an old fogie? I tend to enjoy quietness but sometimes I just need a good lively party or a night out.
Sarah says
PUMP IT UP!
Megan S says

Bridgit says
PUMP IT UP!
I love the energy of our house. Having two kids means I am not going to be able to turn it down for quite some time, but I am ok with that.
Kate J. says
PUMP IT UP!
Kate says
Both!!
I’m always up for a night out on the town, but love to spend my free days around the house!
Melissa says
Pump it UP! If it gets too quiet and boring in a space I my mind starts wandering off….
Tovah says
TURN IT DOWN!
peaceful and quiet all the way.
Martha says
PUMP IT UP
Growing up my dad insisted on having the radio or tv on at full volume 24 hours a day. I am not exaggerating. I had to learn how to sleep with the radio blasting. Which is kind of funny since we lived in the mountains 20 miles from the nearest town. There were nature sounds aplenty! While I now prefer absolute silence to sleep, I do not like quiet during the day. I need to have music on if I am reading and the most irritating sound in the world is the tick-tocking of a clock. Drives me crazy! If definitely prefer things to buzz.
Jessica says
PUMP IT UP! I absolutely love the hectic busy life style. I dont think I even know how to relax anymore! =)
Karen says
PUMP IT UP!
I love to hear laughter soaring in my home!
Briel K. says
TURN IT DOWN. Though there are times I enjoy a more lively atmosphere I most often enjoy reading a good book and relaxing in a quiet place. Nature sounds are always a bonus. I love hearing birds chirping. :)
Lisa says
PUMP IT UP/TURN IT DOWN!!! I like a balance of both in my life.
lauren says
Turn it down!
…for the most part! At work I’m the only one in my “department” though so I’d love to pump it up to have more people to talk to and bounce ideas off of!
amelia says
TURN IT DOWN…i am most happiest hanging out with my hubby and puppy doing anything from watching a movie to hiking the trails.
Katie says
TURN IT DOWN…enjoy relaxing!
Natasha P. says
TURN IT DOWN… I love it to be peaceful in the evenings, especially after a long day at work.
Wehaf says
PUMP IT DOWN??? Sometimes I like a leisurely pace, and sometime I am full of get-up-and-go. I’m half-and-half, I guess!
chelsea says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN!!
