Beth and Randy enjoying a good ol' camel ride!

What better way to begin next week than with our amazing guest hosts, Beers and Beans? We are extremely excited for our second ever social media week with this fabulous duo! Randy (AKA Beer) and Beth (AKA Beans) spoil their readers with beautiful images and interesting stories from around the world. As a couple in their thirties, they have found their niche in this universe by traversing the globe and sharing their experiences with others. Not only are they traveling enthusiasts, but they devote much of their time abroad passionately volunteering. From their blog:

For us, Beers and Beans is really about helping others. Possibly the most important aspect of this site is our desire to fill it with good information about the connections we make on the road in order to showcase the people who working hard to make a difference. As we travel, we will be volunteering, WWOOFing and doing what we can to help out others along the way.

We have had the privilege of working with Bethany in the past. We just loved her so much that we absolutely had to have her back! She’s a strong individual with an immense passion for travel, life and photography. Both Beth and Randy are here to share with us some interesting stories and beautiful pictures of their international philanthropic adventures. We look forward to the journey!

What exactly are "To Do Lists"?

December 31, 2011, 11:59 PM.  Your internal monologue is an amplified version of a cheerleader and the world’s best career coach combined.  “2012 is going to be AWESOME!” you think to yourself.  “This will be the year of #winning!  I will be in the best shape of my life!  I will read All The Books and Say What I Should and Do All The Things!  This will be my year! 10…9…8…”

Cut to the second week of January, and if you’re anything like me your New Year’s Resolutions list looks like this:

1.  Don’t procrastinate.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Evidently I haven’t achieved resolution #1 just yet.  But maybe there are people out in this world of ours that have re-organized their library according to title and subject matter, cut all glutinous foods from their increasingly sparse diet, and achieved a higher level of nirvana more impressive (and secretive!) than the currently known version thereof.

For you, me, and my fellow couch-potatoing, simple-carb-gnoshing, incapable-of-completing-list procrastinating folks in the world, Roomorama has:

For the remainder of the month Roomorama will be posting a weekly giveaway on facebook, twitter, and of course our blog.  The giveaways include all sorts of productive, New Year’s Resolutioney things like a free year’s membership to Crunch Fitness (Resolution #2: Get in shape!) or a Chocolate Parafin Package from Sage Wellness (Resolution #7 Calm down!). 

Bearing in mind the slacker demographic (unlikely to complete multiple steps to attain goals, computer so far from me over here can’t reach et al) we’ve made contest entry incredibly easy:

1. Subscribe to our blog.  Then you will be notified automatically when we’ve posted about a new giveaway.

2. Follow blog instructions -that will tell you how to win whatever it is we’re giving away.

3. Attain all 2012 goals (with our help).

Stay tuned -first post goes up Friday TOMORROW! We swear.
