***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!

“PUMP IT UP”
Let’s enjoy every minute!
Ami says
TURN IT DOWN
I definitely enjoy the occasional wild day/night out, but my home environment I much prefer turned down. I like to live simply (we don’t have cable or a microwave). We use a lot of color in our decor and books and beeswax candles to help it feel homey without all the “noise”. I get all my groceries from the local farmers market because I prefer the laid back atmosphere (and local food is just better ;)). I would much rather shop at vintage shops and boutiques to the big department stores. I would also take a cafe restaurant or patio over a loud over stuffed restaurant!
Keri says
TURN IT DOWN … a little vino, close friends, and great conversation.
Taylor says
Turn it down! I need my down time, definitely.
Giordana says
PUMP IT UP…TURN IT DOWN! No, PUMP IT UP! No…TURN IT DOWN! I guess it depends, but I’m probably more of a TURN IT DOWN! Hahaha…
I am very homey and like to have my home comfortable and quiet. But sometimes the best feeling is being surrounded by a ton of chaos and good, loud people and music! Hah!
Anna says
TURN IT DOWN! Never happier than when I’m curled up with a good book…
Lauren says
TURN IT DOWN
Kate says
TURN IT DOWN!
I live in NYC, which I am constantly surrounded by the soothing sounds of taxi horns, ambulance sirens, and noisy people. So, when I am home, I love to curl up with my Netflix or clean up my apartment. Its nice to hear all the hubub of the city outside my window, so I know all all sorts of fun things wait for me, but for now I like the calm and quiet of my apartment!
Leigh says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN
I like both. It just depends on the mood and the setting. When I’m in a party mood, go all out. When I’m in a relaxed, chill mood, you gotta keep it down.
Ivy says
TURN IT DOWN…….please.
Rachel says
TURN IT DOWN.
Give me a quiet night camping with my hubby and I’m a happy girl.
Robynne says
PUMP IT UP!
I live on a secluded Army base, with nothing ever happening. It makes me miss my life in DC, where music and fun and lots of activities were around every corner!
Now I’m just counting down the years until I’m reunited with LOUD!

Tamara says
Turn it down….
I love quiet moments reading in bed with my girls and snuggling up. Great artwork.
Gemma says
PUMP IT UP!
Not that I don’t love a quiet night or relaxing with a book and cup of tea, but having five siblings and a sports team worth of neices and nephews has conditioned me to adore kids running around and the sound of laughter everywhere.
thanks :)
Jocelyn says
Turn it down! I try to live in the moment, but like the moments to be memorable because they’re simple rather than snazzy.
victoria says
Turn it down, bottle of wine and a good book x
Ris says

K says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN.
I can’t decide. There is a time for both.
Rebecca says
TURN IT DOWN!
I teach third grade, so I am constantly bombarded by kids talking to me and asking me questions. When I get home, I love the peace and quiet of my house and love nothing more than a quiet night at home with some home cooked food, a glass of wine and a great book.
Kelly Gray says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN….I agree that I like both…I have a little one so most of the time the volume is turned on super loud…..so I like peace and quiet as well :)
Jesse says
Turn It Down!
I love loud music that I can dance to while i cook, clean, or whatever. For whatever reason, house shaking music relaxes me!!

TURN IT DOWN! :) I prefer intimate gatherings with close friends. Every once and awhile I can enjoy a more boisterous event, but I come home completely exhausted.
Jessi says
PUMP IT UP!

gabrielle guy says
TURN IT DOWN, any peace any quiet is nice, with a 2 1/2 year old time to myself doesnt come very often, i like walking when my son will sit quietly in the stroller!!
RA says
Turn it down!
I feel like I am abnormally sensitive to noise interruptions. I can’t take it when the TV is on and my husband is talking on a cell phone at the same time in the same room. I have to mute or pause the TV so I don’t have all those sounds colliding in my brain. Don’t get me started on people at work with their outrageously loud cell phone rings! How loud do you need it to be when your phone is on your desk, I ask!
Krista D. says
Turn it Down!
I much prefer a quiet night with a few friends rather than a loud party with a hundred people.
Erica S says
PUMP IT UP! I love some healthy chaos :)
Laura F says
TURN IT DOWN
Today I am all about some quiet, relaxing moments!
Stephen says
Pump it up
After a long day at work in the server room I need to add some music to my day.
Nicole Kidd says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN…My husband and I are crazy, adventurous people who love to get out there and do things fun and new! But we also CHERISH our quiet time at home where we can just pop in one of our DVD’S, or our fave T.V. show and just relax with eachother!
