Giveaway: $25 Starbucks Gift Card!

It's giveaway time!  I've been really itching to do something to show appreciation for my readers, especially the ones who take the time out of their busy day to leave comments.  You guys are the reason why I started (and stayed with) blogging!  I've also finally bit the bullet and created a Facebook account for the blog.  It's looking a little lonely so befriend me at PetiteXXS or "like" my Page.

This month I've been on a super busy rotation and haven't been getting my much needed sleep, so caffeine has been on my mind.  I actually don't drink coffee to stay awake because I didn't want to become dependent on it, but I do enjoy a Frappuccino once in a while even though they must be a gazillion calories.  My hospital provides an allowance to spend on food, and any unused balance expires at the end of the year.  I had money leftover and ended up getting a Starbucks giftcard at the end of last year which I haven't touched, so I figured one of you can put it to better use!

So basically, this is a small giveaway of a $25 Starbucks Gift Card as a token of my appreciation for blog readers.  All you have to do to enter is be a Google follower.  Extra entries will be given for tweeting about the giveaway (see entry form), for liking PetiteXXS on Facebook, and for posting the button below on your blog or sidebar.




The giveaway is open to US and Canadian readers, and ends on Sunday, October 31st.  The winner will be announced shortly after and will have 72 hours to claim.  Thanks for reading! :)

    I always love the aroma of fresh brewed coffee but I don't like the taste of it. Does that make sense lol? I tried drinking coffee last year when my daughter was born hoping that it would keep me from falling asleep. For some odd reason, I was more sleepy than before. I guess it has a revrrse effect or something.

    YAY! I love Starbucks! But I never go unless I have a gift card, and I'm not really a coffee person. But I could drink their White Chocolate Mochas or Black & White Mochas ALL DAY :)

    On a sidenote ~ I'm liking your dropdown menus on the side! I'm always frustrated by blogs that make it difficult to search archives and labels.

    Yay I'm glad you guys will enjoy using this GC... and thanks for the Starbucks recommendation. I rarely go (I'm more of a boba/bubble tea girl), so I never really know what to get.

    herwaisechoice - Thanks for being the first! And I really should add content to the page so there's something to "like" lol.

    Stephanie - Thanks for noticing! I'm still trying to learn rudimentary HTML... and obviously not very well!

    The Owl's Closet - I get a 2-week vacation in a month... I really can't wait!! :)

    Nelah - I like the sweetened coffee drinks once in a while, but kinda dislike the aftertaste. I'm not sure how much effect coffee/tea has on me either, because I can drink tea and still go straight to bed afterwards lol.

    elleandish - That's why nothing fits me lol. Matcha lattes sound yummy... will have to try!

    sophia - I found those drop down menus to be fun to use too on other blogs... and took me quite a while to figure out how to add to mine. I could really use a crash course on blog design!

    oooh caffeine! nothing like putting an IV in my arm to pump that stuff in for neurophysio lab manuscript writing haha. washu's frappes are actually pretty darn amazing and can even rival starbucks. this is awesome :)

    those shoes reminded me of those weird huge platforms i saw in memoirs of a geisha. you kind of shuffle along .. :3 my boyfriend is taiwanese too! i'm so excited to visit a place more modernized and stuff my face full of night market food and go shopping and exploring omggg. aww haha it's okay if he gets some military work done he'll come home all buff like captain shang, eh? xD fu fu fu. he should be able to apply and get it no problem.

    i need to survive the rest of this semester in order to go. i have zero funds ... so it seems like saving up to pay back my boyfriend for tickets D: we're all working odd college version jobs to try to pay our way there
