And the winner of a NEW PAIR OF LULU'S IS..........

.... Shelby!


Congrats to Shelby, who won the FFF birthday Lululemon giveaway! Shelby will pick her favorite style, and I will have my fashion elves mail them to her house with love from the FFF team (and by team i mean me, my roommate's cat, and my bottle of wine).


Thank you to everyone who subscribed to my blog in order to be entered and anyone who has shared, liked, or commented on my blog. Encouragement really goes to my head and it's great.

Lastly, thank you to ALL (all four of you) readers who read my blog at all! Blogging is really awkward, vulnerable, and a little too real at times, so genuine thanks from me and my cat.

I'm going to include an exchange Shelby and I had earlier in the week, and then mentally scoff at you mentally saying this giveaway was rigged by showing some screenshot proof that Shelby won fairsy squarsies.

Here we see me, gently and subtly reminding my followers of the giveaway, and Shelby, reminding me of spring break 2012 when I went to her family's lake house with a dozen other less-than-sober Texas Tech undergraduates.

And here, her winning ballot:
Random.org picked the number 12. 

This isn't the whole list, obvzZzZzZz, but as you can see, her e-mail is #12, from the top.
Time to go tweet Yung Shell.
Happy Saturday!

Happy birthday, FFF! Lulu Lemon giveaway


I've always wanted to host a giveaway on my blog. Well it just so happens this month is my blog's birthday! FFF IS TURNING ONE AND GETTING SO GROWN UP. I'd also like to celebrate the success of my recent post, "All the thoughts I have at the gym." People shared it on Facebook, and it went over well with my blog's analytics. 


Quick FFF fun facts

  • 1,186 people have read FFF in 2014.
  • Since January, the average visit duration is 2 minutes.

  • 32 countries have read FFF this year.
  • Top 5 reading cities are: Dallas, Lubbock, Houston, New York (???), and Carlsbad (COME ON, HOMETOWNERS, I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU.

The proof is in the screenshot.

In honor of FFF's first birthday, and the success of the gym blog, I will be giving away a pair of Lulu lemon pants to one lucky blog subscriber. How do you enter to win this prize, you ask? Subscribe to my blog. There is a little square on the top right corner that is happy to take your e-mail.


5 Reasons you should subscribe to my blog:

  • The obvious reason being so that you can be notified IMMEDIATELY with an annoying e-mail, that will probably end up in your spam folder, after each time I publish a new post.
  • Because you hate The Bachelor and The Bachelorette but you can't stop obsessing over who Andi is sending home.
  • Sometimes you get bored at work and you need a 3 PM blog pick-me-up. You fear your boss will catch you reading the word "ass" on my blog, but you're a risk taker with a severe wild streak.
  • Did I mention I'm giving away LULU LEMON to one lucky subscriber.
  • LIKE I'M LITERALLY BUYING A SHIRT AND MAILING IT TO A SUBSCRIBER. 


How this works

  • I will list all people who entered, assigning each of them a number. 
  • I will enter the number of entries into random.org.
  • That website will legally choose a random number, and that person will be styling at their next gym sesh.
  • I will e-mail that winner, and announce him/her on Facebook. I will order the size/style of that persons choice!
  • I'm going to message you on Facebook if you shared my "Thoughts at the gym" post. You're entered, honey!
  • I'LL PICK A WINNER FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to type that in a bigger, bolder font. 

I am going to buy the winner Lulu Lemon pants the size and style of her choice.

But Augusta, what if a dude wins?

LOL. K.
