I'll Buy Your Votes ;)

Remember the Bracket Babes Competition from last week?
We have made it to the FINAL ROUND, and as such, now I REALLY need your help.
I'm up against my girlfriend Rachael, and not only is she a Calendar girl, but she knows a LOT of people. I'd like to think I have better supporters through all of the most awesome bloggers in the world, so help me out and prove me right!

As promised, I am even having a giveaway to sweeten the deal ;)
I bought this package of goodies recently, and I also bought one to give away!




The only mandatory entry is to VOTE, but I threw in some Twitter, Bloglovin', and asked some blogging questions that have been on my mind. I can't wait to hear your answers.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Now that we are back, the weekend was fun, but I am HAPPY to be home. I am ready to have a week WITHOUT a to-do list, and to make it as quickly as possible to Friday. Technically I'm going in today, but I'm just catching up on paperwork = no customers and my own time frame. Yay for a three day work week!

Thanks in advance for all your help, and let's win this thang!

    i usually read blogs from my blogger homepage. i try and read through everyone's posts the day of, during lunch or when I need a quick mental break. Number of comments depends on how close I am with a blogger, how interesting/connected I am to a post, or just how much extra time I have. My biggest problem is I read a post and plan to go back to comment then run out of time.

    I am starting to love reading blogs via BlogLovin. It makes it so easy! I am bad about commenting on other's blogs but I am making an effort to comment on a few each day. Good luck, lady! I voted :)

    I read blogs through the blogger homepage. I've just started following on bloglivin' but haven't really used that to read from yet. Good luck!

    Love reading through Bloglovin because it keeps post unread until I have a chance to read them.

    I just go through my blogger home page. I try to get at least 2-5 per day (I'll sit down in the evening and go through my faves and then scan my blogger feed for interesting titles).

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    I always read through Bloglovin'. I'm terrible about reading on time so I read on my own time and usually comment on most of the posts.

  13. Kathryn BApril 2, 2013 at 9:12 AM

    I voted! I generally read through the blogs on my blogger page. I haven't fully switched over to Bloglovin' yet. I generally read as many as I can during my lunch break and comment as comments come to me. I try to comment on everyone I read, but sometimes I run out of time. :)

    Yup. That would be my good old friend Rachael from high school. HAHA. I'm dying. Of course I voted for you and I hope you kick her butt! Don't tell her I said that ;) I actually haven't talked to her in years. Anywhoo.. I read from the Blogger homepage usually and I comment on about 20 or more per day I would say. More on Mondays of course!

    I shamelessly use Google Reader and Bloglovin' and if I'm just sitting around I use my phone and search out my favorites :) Commenting depends because sometimes I just want to comment on everything and other times I feel so "bleh" and just read!

    Voted! Yay you're in the lead!! I've been using the Pulse app on my kindle but will be switching to Feedly come July. I do use bloglovin on my iphone too. I try to comment on my top 10 blogs I love to follow. Including yours friend! :)

    haha oppps didn't read what I was supposed to comment about! Duh. I used to read through google reader, now I am using bloglovin. I try to comment on about 75% of the blogs I read, so I don't know maybe 20 a day?

  28. KaileighApril 2, 2013 at 5:58 PM

    I read through google reader, so I guess I'm going to have to switch to bloglovin'! I really like being able to keep track of which posts I have read. I probably only comment on 1 or 2 per day because it has to be worth it for me to go to the actual blog page to comment.

  29. Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve.April 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

    I love to use Bloglovin to read blogs & I try to comment 1-2 blogs a day but way more than that when I have time!

Comment wise...ahhh i use to be SO good at this, doing it everyday. But since school started ive become a bad commenter. Once summer hits ill be back! LOVE YOU GF & YOU GOT THIS!

    I voted!!!

    I used to use Google Reader, because it was super easy and had ALL the blogs listed there. It showed the new posts, as well as when you read them, they would go away.

    Now, i use Bloglovin, which is EVEN better. So much easier to comment, especially with the Bloglovin frame. I follow over 800 blogs, but I don't comment on all of them. However, I do comment on tons more than I did when I used Google Reader.

    I have feedly and also bloglovin but I'm still not a total fan because they aren't getting all my blogs I read so right now I bounce around including still reader. I probably comment on 50+ blogs a day but don't nearly get that many comments/readers.

  39. Courtney BApril 3, 2013 at 2:16 PM

    Since I'm still trying to get back into the swing of blogging... I have my favorites that I check each week and then I usually go back and read the blogs who comment on mine. Someday I'll have all the time in the world to go through my reader again! Actually.... I probably won't :)
    I usually always comment.

  40. JessApril 3, 2013 at 3:00 PM

    I voted, good luck! I used to read my blogs through Google Reader, but now that that is going away, I have transferred everything over to BlogLovin'. I am more of a stalker than a commenter, but I try and comment on posts that I can really relate to!

    Bloglovin' has always been my fav. way to follow and I just recently discovered the app. for my iPhone {as if I didn't use the mini screen enough already, oops!}. I try and make at least 1 comment a day or anytime I absolutely LOVE the post for one reason or another.

  44. AnonymousApril 4, 2013 at 9:00 PM

    No bribes needed, I definitely would have voted for you either way :D
    I am starting to really like Bloglovin' because I can put blogs into categories and visit my favorites if I don't have time to visit most of them. I comment as often as I can, but lately I have been super super busy.

    Voted! I just read through my blogger feed, I have bloglovin on my phone but haven't really started using it yet. I'm not sure how many I comment on a day, maybe 10 or so, I want to try and make an effort to comment in every post I read as at the moment I only comment on around 50%.
