You Know You Love Gum When..

~You post about it.~

Warning:

This is a silly, random post, only reccomended for silly, random people {and those who love gum}. Proceed at your own risk..

I was chewing a piece of gum today. {In fact, I have so far chewed several pieces of gum today. I am the type of girl who is in love with many things--one of which is gum.} As I chewed, relishing in the sweetness of sugar free-ness, and savoring the unique flavor {which I shall get to in a moment}, the thought popped into my head that I should post about it. Gum, that is.

..And now you are laughing. Well, at least smiling. And if you aren't smiling, I wonder what type of a person you are...for everyone knows that this is the silliest thing in the world to post about. I mean, GUM?! The thing everybody has. The thing that you put in your mouth to disguise the fact that you didn't brush your teeth yet today. The thing that you find in little squashed polka dots all over city sidewalks. The thing that every girl has probably had in her hair at one time or another. The thing that causes you much embarrasment in the fancy restaurant, when you realize you stuck your abc piece on the plate in full view.

..But, I am getting entirely beside the point. You see, gum has an entirely new meaning to me. It isn't merely a thing I take for granted, but something that brightens my whole day the instant I unwrap the silvery wrapper and fold the contents into my mouth..

..and now I get to the actual purpose of this post. If you can call it that.

Have you tried the new Extra Dessert Gum?

{I know, you're probably shaking your heads and saying, "What?? All of this rigamarole and this is what it all comes down to?" Well, all I can say is...}  

~It's delicious!~

..And, being the said gum-aholic, I have already tried every flavor {which, sadly, as of yet there are only three}:

~First, there's the utterly mouth-watering:~

..Which I can safely say is my absolute favorite.

~Then, comes the delectable:~

Which I can safely say is my second favorite.

~Lastly {and in my opinion leastly}, there is the cool and delightful:~

..Can you guess? My third favorite! ;)

*Sigh*

..I am, at the moment, chomping on a Mint Chocolate Chip piece. Better than the real thing, I think.

"MUF" Giveaway {Winners}!

Well, dear followers, I am afraid I must ramble a bit before I get to the post which all of you have been waiting for throughout January. I decided to end the suspense a little early, and so I am sorry if any of you arrived too late for this wonderful event. I did give you nearly a month, though..;)

Anyways. I just cannot *begin* to describe how utterly blessed and thrilled I was to receive so much participation from my sponsors, AND you all:

 700 entries, girlies!! 

I mean, I never expected THAT huge of a response...shows ya'll have good taste. *winks* :) Sponsors, you guys are amazing, and I will love you forever. Remember, even if you don't win anything, ladies, head on over to one of the precious shoppes, and buy something for yourself! ;)

...Now. On to the big announcement. One more thing: my new blog design is finally here! How do you like it? I love it. Absolutely L.O.V.E. it. <3 Thank you once more, Miss Ara!
