Giveaway: Sweet N Southern

Recently I came across an adorable Etsy shop: Sweet N Southern! 

Sweet N Southern is a shop that sells colorful key fobs, magnets and push pins. The shop owner, Samantha, has this to say about her shop: "Sweet N Southern is my small little shop that keeps me busy. My crafting goes from one end of the spectrum to the other, so here you can find a little of everything!"

The key fobs are so cute and come in a variety of patterns and colors. My favorite part about them is that they come in two sizes: a mini, keychain size and a wristlet size. I want them all!

Here are the ones pictured in the above image...they're my favorites!

1. Mini Key Fob "Giraffe Print on Pink"
2. Mini Key Fob "Lime Dots on Pink"
3. Mini Key Fob "Pink Plaid on White"
4. Mini Key Fob "Pink Diamonds on Black"
5. Key Fob Wristlet: "Personalized Letter and Color"
6. Key Fob Wristlet: "Pink Diamonds on Lime"

Sweet N' Southern also sells magnets and pushpins. I can just see myself using these to brighten up my dorm's refrigerator and cork board. With the following patterns, you can choose to get four magnets, four pushpins or half and half.

Here are the listings for the glass marble magnets or pushpins, from the upper lefthand box going clockwise:

• Sweet Stripes
• Leopard Spots
• Nautical Stripes
• Donuts

Don't you love the donut pins? So cute!

Finally, Sweet N Southern has a few mini pushpin sets in their clearance section. This is my favorite set:

Glass Marble Push Pins: "Pink and Green Fun"

Also, Samantha is kind enough to offer a pack of pushpins and magnets to one lucky reader. Enter the giveaway via the widget below. The giveaway will end on August 31st at 12:01 a.m.

Today was one of those days where I spent an hour on Pinterest pinning any quote that I could remotely apply to my life. Ever had one of those days where you just go on a pinning rampage?

I couldn't come up with anything good to post about today so you're lucky enough to get something personal from me. As you may or may not have seen, I'm working on research with a professor and some other students this summer this summer, using fish as our model organisms. It's completely out of my league, something I've never done before.

It's taken me awhile to get used to the lab and all the protocols, but I'm getting better each and every day. It's been tough for me because I am a perfectionist and, if I don't get something right the first time, I get a little frustrated with myself. It's definitely something I have to get over, but I'm getting better at it.

So that's why it's been a quote-kind-of-day. Because all of the above quotes keep reminding me why I'm doing all this: to become a doctor. To help people. To save people's lives.

And, in the meantime, being able to inject fish eggs with recombinant DNA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right?
