If there’s one thing Katniss and Peeta needed from their sponsors in the Hunger Games, it wasn’t boring bread. It was a flask filled to the brim with vodka/wine/rum/Everclear (not judging). Now you can have your own Hunger Games+Vodka Vendettas flask. Five lucky winners will receive one flask made by Liquid Courage! And if you’re not a winner, never fear…these flasks are now available for purchase at liquidcourageflasks.com! (Here and here.)

Here’s how to enter:

1. Follow @byLiquidCourage on Twitter.

You have until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. to enter…the winners will be announced Monday morning!

Let the Giveaway Games begin!

Hey, crazies. I can’t believe it’s Friday already! Is it Spring Break for you? Are you drunk and funneling something questionable on the beach? Did you get vom in your hair last night? Did random bros ask you to “check out their condo?” SPRINGBREAK12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, anyway, today we have a giveaway by YQY Jewelry, a jewelry boutique out of Doylestown, PA. This will be our last giveaway for a little bit as we work on transitioning into a new website (woohoo!), so you better strike at the opportunity to enter!

YQY Jewelry sells dainty jewelry that goes with pretty much e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I have worn my sterling silver skull necklace, like, every single day. 

Ok, I know you’re like, “Hey psycho I can’t see that,” but whatever, it’s the best I could do OK? Also, if you’d like to send me money for a boob job, I’ll be happy to send you my  PayPal info. #imkiddingbutnot.

#mc also has a super cute pair of studs from YQY, but she’s a skank-whore-slutbag and went out of town without taking a photo with them! (LYLAS!!!)

This week, YQY is giving away two necklaces. The silver crane pearl necklace and the 14K gold love letter necklace.

Personally, I love them both.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Follow @YQYJewelry on Twitter.

2. Mention us (@VodkaVendettas, duh) in a tweet with your craziest SB moment (from this year, or any Spring Break ever. Except from when you were, like, a freshy in HS. Boring.)

3. Comment ON THIS POST (not our Facebook wall, not the link to this post on our Facebook, not your best friend’s mom’s ex-husband’s link to this post…THIS. POST.) with your name, email address and Twitter handle.

You have until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. to enter. After that I will select two winners, at which time I will email you and ask for your mailing address. You MUST email me your mailing address with 24 hours or I will select someone else. Again, this is the last giveaway for a little while, so enter away!

We’re baaaaackkkkk! Did you miss us last Friday? Of course you did, we give you free shit you greedy bitches!

This week we’re partnering with Ophelia Bird, a jewelry company ran by Nebraska-based mom Jessica Jahnke. Her pieces are so adorbs! For most of them, she uses vintage pieces and up-cycles them to something totally chic. Which we love, of course, because nothing says “I swear I have a heart,” like going green! Although I (#kj) love them all, my top two faves on her site right now are the tribal statement necklace and the lucky charm necklace. And of course, the giveaway necklace!

Jessica is going to send this pastel pink pendant necklace to three lucky winners! 

Made from new old stock vintage chain and up-cycled, re-purposed materials, this necklace is so perfectly pink and shabby chic. 

The large pastel pink faceted briolette pendant hangs from a gold ring and is suspended from an 18-inch gold-tone brass chain. It’s topped with a perfectly tarnished golden round and closes easily with a gold lobster clasp.

Disclaimer: To show off this super cute necklace we had to take photos of ourselves. Unless you, too, are showing off a product please refrain from doing so. Love, #kj and #mc and all your Facebook friends.

The giveaway will run from today (Friday) until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Winners will be announced Monday via Twitter, Facebook, our website, and email. So if you don’t see it within 24 hours you need to get a life and get on the internet. And we’ll select someone else. kthnxlylas!

It’s a common issue among those of us who are not into the whole T-shirt, Norts, tennis shoes everysingleday thing, that when we go to the gym we (ohmigosh) blend in. Sure, I use it as the only public place I can wear my ex’s fraternity shirts, and the only place I can check myself out in the mirror for extended periods of time without seeming conceited. But the gym needs to also be away to get some points across.

This week’s giveaway, gym shirts made by Ruffles With Love, will get across the point that you’re into looking good, but you’re also not a thrown away child either. Common broski-voiced sayings in girly colors accented by a bow on the back say “I may be disgusting and sweaty and listening to Olivia Newton John, but you can buy me a drink later.”

Ruffles With Love is giving away three of their shirts this week.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Like Ruffles With Love on Facebook.

2. Go to our Facebook page and find the link to #kj’s blog post for CTL, “The No BS Reasons You Should Get to the Gym.” Click “Share” and share with all of your Facebook friends! It should be right below the link about this giveaway! (Note: We CAN see who shares the link, so no cheating!)

3. Comment below with your name and email address.

The giveaway will last from now until 11:59 p.m., Sunday night. Monday morning we will pick the winners, and email you requesting your mailing address. You must reply within 24 hours to receive your shirt!

Thanksloveyoubye.

You probably didn’t wake up this morning thinking that you were tired of plain, liquor store or gas station purchased flasks. But you are. You totally are. Which is why you need a flask from Liquid Courage, an online retailer that sells handmade flasks that are to die drink for. They even have personalized flasks! Nothing says, “don’t steal my alchy, bitch,” like your initials monogrammed to your flask. Am I right? amirite?

Liquid Courage is owned by husband-and-wife duo Tyler and Amy Fisk, who began selling their products on Etsy, and now have their own personal online store, liquidcourageflasks{dot}com. The flask designs are made on high quality 3.75 mill vinyl and are completely vodka whiskey rum  water proof!

This week, Liquid Courage is giving away five flasks with some of your favorite @VodkaVendettas tweets printed on them!

Here’s how to enter: (It’s a little different than the last two giveaways, so please read!)

1. Mention @VodkaVendettas in a tweet describing what you love about us with hashtag #vvgiveaway! <3

2. Follow @byLiquidCourage on Twitter.

3. Comment below with your name, email AND Twitter handle!

The giveaway will run until Sunday at 11:59 p.m., and winners will be announced Monday morning! We will then email the winners to request their mailing addresses. The winners will have 24 hours to respond to the email before we pick someone else. Who receives which flask will be totally at random, so please don’t request which one you’d like. While you’re anxiously awaiting for the results, check out Liquid Courage’s website, Twitter, Facebook and Etsy page!

We all have our own food devils. Maybe it’s Ben and Jerry’s “Imagine Whirled Peace.” Maybe it’s movie theater popcorn. Or maybe it’s those S’mores PopTarts your boyfriend keeps in his apartment that he never eats that call your name every morning when he leaves for class that you just. can’t. resist. I’m not saying that’s mine….butimjustsayin.

The point is, dieting is nearly as impossible as getting your eyeliner to stay on your waterline when you don’t know how to avoid the “diet devils.” Heather Bauer, nutritionist, author, mother of three, creator of Nu-Train, New Yorker, runner and just all-around badass, has written Bread is the Devil for just these issues. Maybe you’re a free-style dieter, pretending you can guess and count all those calories in your head when, let’s face it, you struggled through pre-algebra freshman year. Or maybe you’re a OMG-It’s-My-BFF’s-21st-So-I-Can-TOTALLY-Have-This-Queso-Dip-And-Pitcher-Of-Margs dieter. Or perhaps you, like me, suffer from “boredom bingeing,” or what I like to call, “SVU marathon eating.” Whatever your vice, Bread is the Devil has a way to fix the situation, and Heather Bauer herself has some words of wisdom for when your diet devil is that Jäger shot at the bar:

Most diets don’t work because the only way you could possibly follow them is if you lived in a hermetically sealed bubble. That’s not the case in my new book Bread is the Devil. Over the last 12 years I’ve helped thousands successfully lose weight and keep it off. The secret? I understand the connection between behavior and eating. Bread is the Devil gives you an easy-to-follow 3 week plan, as well as strategies for 10 important “diet devils” — the underlying situations that are the real reason we are all 5, 10 or 80 pounds overweight. We all have a few. Whether it be the Dine Out Devil, the Late Night Shuffle, or Boredom Bingeing, my book will give you the ultimate solution. My other claim to fame? Realizing that people have non-negotiables. For many of my clients, it’s drinking (see, you’re not alone!). So sidle up to the bar, because you don’t have to give it up. All you have to do is tweak what you drink and build it in. Good news, vodka is one of my top picks!

For this giveaway, Heather is sending out FIVE of her books, signed, to those who enter! Here’s how:

1. Like Vodka Vendettas on Facebook.

2. Like Heather Bauer on Facebook.

3. Follow Heather Bauer on Twitter.

4. Comment below with your name and email address.

The time table to enter is now until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Monday we will pick and announce the winner, and email them to request their mailing address. If you win and do not reply to your email within 24 hours, we will select someone else.

Happy entering!

We are super excited about our first giveaway! Seriously. We’d be smiling right now but our mud masks are about dry. We want to make this a weekly thing, so if you have a product you would like to provide for an upcoming giveaway, know someone who does or just have an idea of a brand you’d like to see, email us at vodkavendettas@gmail.com!

It’s no secret that we love vodka. Duh. But if there’s one thing we like better than vodka, it’s good vodka. And if there’s one we like better than that, it’s GOOD FREE VODKA! Enter Exclusiv Vodka. A crisp, clean vodka with the right amount of kick, Exclusiv hails from the country of Maldova, and is actually spelled “vodca.” (We won’t hate them for the misspelling, considering we’ve probably spelled it, “V0DKKASADASDAAAAAA!!!”). I (#kj) died for it in a Bloody Mary, but that might be my New Orleans roots drinking talking. Try it with tonic water and lime for a low-cal, sexy drink.

This week, Exclusiv is giving away a bottle of their vodka and a bottle of their moscato (also totes amaze) to FIVE of our followers!

How to enter:

1. Like Vodka Vendettas on Facebook.
