Entry # 9 Melissa from ChinkyMel's Corner 

Congrats,I will be contacting you through email soon =)

 As you might have noticed, I am doing my post a bit earlier today.. This is because tomorrow I will be on my way to NY for ~2 weeks!! I am beyond excited to be going there. Unfortunately I will not be posting when I am on vacation, but don't worry, I will leave you guys with a giveaway until I am back!
 I wanted to do a bit more for today's post, but I have been so busy. My attempts to get my college stuff done before vacation, didn't happen, so I will need to bring that with me (it's only a little bit) and I also need to bring all my tax forms as well so I can fill out the fafsa when Jan. 1st hits since I won't be back till the 2nd. I haven't actually packed yet either which is not a good thing to say, but I am multitasking right now between blogging, packing, and eating! I find packing to be super tiring, so blogging helps me relax!

I recently ordered some items off of Amazon for my hamster and camera! When I came home from school yesterday, I saw two packages on my door! One from Amazon and one from Dahlia wolf!!! (they have fast shipping because I just got an email from them 2 days ago about the item!) Gosh, you could not believe how excited I was too see the packages. I took them both upstairs and ripped them open!
The first package that I opened was the one from Amazon.

In the amazon box, I had ordered 3 things. I got 2 bags of Hazel hamster food (the other bag is already open and with my hamster!) I needed 2 2lb bags because that is the only way I would have gotten free shipping from Amazon! There is no way I was paying $10 to ship stuff to me when I could buy another bag of food with that money and get free shipping!
This hamster food is the best hamster food on the market for any hamster because of it's nutritional content. I will pair this food with the oxbow pallets and a daily treat and she is going to have the best, and healthiest food possible.It has lots of protein, just the right amount of fat and low sugar content. The only thing that I have to do is pick out the sunflower seeds since I like to hand feed it to her. (That is what I spent a good chunk of my night doing yesterday!)

The other item in my box is the canon Rc-6 Wireless Remote Controller.This remote is suppose to make taking pictures much easier since it allows you to take pictures without being behind the camera. This is perfect for my when I take my pictures because often times, I don't have someone helping me out and it's hard to get my camera to focus without me standing there! With this remote, hopefully my issue will be solved!
This remote is sold on the canon website for $30 and only ~19-20 on amazon! I was very fortunate because right before checkout, Amazon gave me a promotion (which I am still not clear why) and made the remote 8 something instead of 19!!  Could it be because I recently brought a camera from them?

Don't mind the stickers.. they are for privacy reasons =)

My second package that I received was from Dahlia Wolf. Remember how in my last post , I mentioned being contacted by Dahlia Wolf and finding out that they had chosen to design a clothing piece inspired by one of my post! They contacted me on Tuesday this week asking for my address and by Thursday afternoon, they had already sent the item to me! I was beyond ecstatic to receive it. I did not expect to get it so quickly!

This box is beautiful!

Inside the package, I found a very fancy looking black box with the words Dahlia Wolf on it. I opened the box and inside, I found my top! It was packaged so nicely and everything just felt so professionally done. I could not believe that it was mine! The top is even called "The Mindy Top!"

Here is a quick look at it-

The top is adorable!!!! I love the pattern on it a lot. It reminds me of tribal print and the bright colors are going to be perfect in the spring/summer! I might even try to winterize it a bit because this would be awesome to wear now! The material of the top is a lot better than I had thought it would be. It's thick and pretty nice quality. The top is even lined which is something I worried about because I had no idea what kind of bra I should wear under this... but now I realized, you don't need one!
On the side of the top is the zipper. It goes all the way down. The zipper is quite smooth and pretty easy to get on! I am in love with my top and I can't wait to do an outfit post for it! (it'll probably be the first post I do when I come back from my vacation!)

I have one more thing to tell you guys about!! While I am away on vacation, I decided to leave you guys with an $100 GIVEAWAY to http://www.jollychic.com. I was contacted by them asking me to host this giveaway on my blog and I thought why not? I could run the giveaway while I am on vacation and choose the winner when I get back! How perfect is that!
