Christmas has come and gone.
New Year’s Day has come and gone.
And though it’s hard to believe, my birthday has also come and gone. Thankfully, however, I’m kind enough to receive late gifts from my birthday wish list — at no extra charge!
The point is that we’re moving on. In five days time – Tuesday, January 26th 2010 – Verastically Livin’ Blog will be four years old. Four!! Can you believe it? When Verastically Livin’ turned three last year, I gave everyone the option of asking me any question they wanted to, and one week later, I answered them all.
Well, that’s not going to happen this year. Instead, I’m going to be doing a giveaway! Yeap, you read right. But before you get overly excited, it’s just a small giveaway: a book. It’s Chimamanda’s book, “The Thing Around Your Neck.” The post will go up on the 26th on January, and one week, later – the 2nd of February – a random commenter will be chosen as the winner.
Show Me Your Love: A Valentine Blog Event
Although I’ve mentioned this on Facebook and Twitter, I’ve not really mentioned it here – what a shame. This year, Verastically Livin will be having a Valentine Blog Event, and the theme is – you guessed it – Show Me Your Love. Fortunately, all you have to do is – you guessed it again – show me your love.
E-mail pictures of you and the one you’re in love with to project@verastic.com. Include your names, location, what you love about each other, and of course, what you plan to do for Valentine’s Day. You’re welcome to include any other information.
Come back at midnight on Valentine’s Day and see the pictures — right here on Verastically Livin’
Deadline for submission: Sunday, February 7th 2010
P.S. Please share this post by tweeting it, facebooking it, or simply e-mailing it. You can click the envelop at the bottom of this post to e-mail it.
P.P.S. Verastically Speakin’ airs on Saturday – Romance Without Finance. It’ll be co-hosted by Ikedot and Nkechinyere. Don’t forget to vote on this week’s poll.
