Yow Yow’s Yearly Recap

This year, the statistics behind Yow Yow! have served as a great resource for me in deciding which direction to take the blog. The stats may not have been as high as they were last year, but regardless the blog is still trucking on and you know what? I’m proud of what it’s become after three years. I’m still enjoying writing for it and if you guys are still enjoying the content – then that’s all that matters to me.

Yow Yow!’s First Giveaway!

I am thrilled to announce to you all that I am hosting my first (but hopefully not the last) giveaway ever with Knock Knock! If you’ve been following the blog, then you may have seen my last feature on their product The Social Media Citation earlier this month. They’re the brand responsible for all of your favorite quirky gifts including  To-Do lists, WTF Stamps, Slang Flashcards and many more. Not only are they fantastic products to keep yourself organized with, but they also make great gifts for friends!

Knock Knock was so kind to me and sent me over their Idea Log to try out recently and I have basically fallen in love with it. I found that while I was constantly on the go during the week, it was difficult for me to record some of the ideas I had in my PDA. I used to just throw random phrases into the notepad section of my phone, but sometimes I would jot it down so quickly without a description that I would later forget why I wrote it down in the first place. With the Idea Log that fits so snug into my purse, I can easily pull it out and jot my ideas down whether I’m at home, at work, on the go, etc.

The Idea Log has been a great tool and resource for me and I would love the chance to pass it on to one of you! So…if you are interested in winning a copy of the Idea Log, answer this question below and the best response will win! I’ll be holding this contest until Friday, August 5 at 5PM PST.

Question: Tell us about a great idea or project you intend to complete by the end of summer or have completed this summer already!
