ANNOUNCEMENT: New Writer Ends The Sausagefest at The Impulsive Buy

/ / Announcement, General / 22 Comments

The glass ceiling has been broken, and I was the one who whipped out her .357 Magnum Lara Croft-style and shattered that sucker into a million pieces. Actually, it’s not that badass, but I will be the first writer sans schlong here at The Impulsive Buy.

And yes, I used the words sans and schlong in the same sentence.

Even though I am of the female persuasion, TIB will not be bombarded with reviews about tampons or other feminine products located in the aisle that has pregnancy tests and condoms.

Now that I’ve cleared that up…

I’m Kayla, a native of New Hampshire (a.k.a. Vermont’s spooning partner) who has been living in Philadelphia for almost three years. I’m pursuing my B.S. in Communications with concentrations in advertising and screenwriting. One day I’d like to be running my own advertising agency, making mad dough and coming up with commercial ideas that involve farting monkeys or other things that parent advocacy groups would deem inappropriate.

I’ve been consuming massive amounts of media since the age of two, which turned me into a pop culture snob of sorts, but not one of those snobs that needs to use Grey Poupon on everything. However, I do have a taste for the finer things in life like strippers, PBR and Warrant’s 1990 magnum opus “Cherry Pie.” Most of the time I’m enjoying these things all at once while wearing a strand of pearls and an adorable argyle sweater. I would like to think of myself as classy on the outside and sleazy on the inside.

I’ve been an avid reader of The Impulsive Buy since 2005, but never posted any comments on reviews since I really didn’t get into the blogging scene until recently when I started my own that focuses on advertising. You can check that out at bourgeoisconsumer.blogspot.com. I’m really excited to be on board here at TIB and I’m even more excited to start buying impulsively and working on my innuendo for reviews.

PRIZE DRAWING: Because I Want to Wish Everyone a Happy National Snack Food Month, Which Was Last Month

/ / General, Prize Drawing / 192 Comments

I know February is National Black History Month, National Get To Know an Independent Real Estate Broker Month and Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month, but I totally forgot that it’s also National Snack Food Month. According to the Snack Food Association (SFA), National Snack Food Month was created to increase consumption and build awareness of snacks. Apparently entire supermarket aisles dedicated to snacks and displays near the checkout counter hasn’t been enough to encourage people to eat more snacks.

Anyway, to celebrate National Snack Food Month, The Impulsive Buy is going to give away seven 6-ounce bags of FoodShouldTasteGood tortilla chips to seven lucky readers. I have one of each flavor FoodShouldTasteGood offers.

– Multigrain
– Jalapeno
– Olive
– Chocolate
– The Works!
– Sweet Potato
– Buffalo

Thanks to the folks at FoodShouldTasteGood for providing the bags of their chips to give away.
