Time to clear out some items that I’ve kept around because “I love it and I might just need it someday and it’s too good to throw out or recycle and I might just need it someday.” Or, in other words, The Hoarder’s Mantra.
So, I’ve decided to have a series of giveaways of STUFF I have around the house. Starting small with temporary tattoos.
My husband gave me these AWESOME temporary tattoos last year, I think it may have been Mother’s Day 2012. And I used each one twice, but then there were more and more. I think they may have multiplied! There are two, and they come from Tattly.
The giraffe carrying a ton of books is just the cutest thing. It’s light, so it doesn’t show up really well on darker skin. I put it on the inside of my wrist – but I put almost all temporary tattoos on the inside of my wrist. Still, it’s super cute for book lovers, librarians, and anyone with a heart.

The simple HUSTLE is for those of us who are shaker and movers, or in some cases (mine!) wobblers and wigglers. It will instantly transform you into a hipster, whatever that means. And it looks pretty real. I actually had a few people ask where I got it. However, it can also make someone feel a tad silly if they are lounging around in the sun, smelling the roses, and/or napping on a park bench — unless you wear it ironically. (See? Hipster!)

As a bonus, I’m offering up some wicked cool temporary tattoos with the vegbooks logo. I occasionally write reviews for this site that helps vegetarian, vegan, and animal loving folks choose children’s books and other media that affirms their values. I met the founder while living in Sunset Park, Brooklyn – and she’s one of the people who has convinced me that living by one’s values is possible. Even on (especially on?) this nutty planet.
Check out the logo and read more about the site at VEGBOOKS.
Want a temporary tattoo or two sent to your home? Just leave a comment here telling me which ones you must have – and a Facebook LIKE on the page for That Unique* Weblog would be appreciated, but it’s not necessary. I’m easy that way. I’ll collect entries up through Monday night. (May 27) I’ll distribute them based on my highly technological scraps of paper in a hat trick. But since I have several of each, I think you’ve got a good shot at your first choice. 🙂
Easy Reading at the Moonshine grid with yeah write.
Stay tuned for more exciting giveaways of stuff I haven’t wanted to let go, but must.
This Weblog is Unique. Just Like They All Are. 
URP. I don’t think my first reply went through.
I’d wear “Hustle” for sure…stands up, listens for opening bar of “Do the Hustle”
Love it! Now I’ll be singing that for the rest of the day.
ohhhhh, my favorite is definitely the books one. I know a couple small town librarians who MUST apply these forenightly. (is that a word??)
Hooray for Librarians! It’s such a fun tattoo, right?
I think you might mean FORTnightly. Sounds good to me. Use it with abandon. 🙂
I do so love the concept of HUSTLE tattoo. Concise. Terse. Makes you think. Sounds like me. The giraffe with tower of books is cute, but I’m so petite with small arms that it might go all the way up from my wrist to my elbow if I apply it that way.
Excellent! The giraffe is a fun tattoo, but it is quite long. Good thinking. 🙂
I love your giveaway idea. I recently moved into a super tiny place, and my partner and I got rid of more than half of our possessions. It felt great!
Does the mean you DO NOT want to enter for one of the tattoos? My clutter could be your clutter. 🙂
I’m game for hustle or the giraffe. I feel like the veg books would raise some awkward question when I’m at the farmer’s market lining up for bacon. ;p
You’re in the running for each of those two. Good luck!
The giraffe is so cute! I definitely utter the Hoarder’s Mantra on a regular basis…so I probably shouldn’t request that tattoos 🙂
That’s true…but the temporary tattoos can be used up. Like any good hostess gift, they are consumable! Let me know if you want to be entered for the giraffe.
I love your giveaways, but don’t consider this an entry – my hoarder tendencies would mean I would keep and never wear those awesome tattoos!
Maybe I should put a qualifier on that tattoos must be used within two weeks. 🙂
Nice post. The designs look nice and they might be a good party favor. Thanks for posting.
