Sprayground Backpacks: Haute Accessories For Those On The Go! {Giveaway}
September 7th, 2012 by ChristenStill haven’t gotten all your back to school purchases completed? Celebrities have been clammoring over the hautest backpacks to hit stores and I finally got my hands on one! Not familiar with Sprayground? Sprayground is an exclusive lifestyle brand selling deluxe backpacks and accessories. Conceptualized for the consumer who is consistently on the go and carries his or her life in a bag, Celebs like Nick Cannon, Waka Flocka, Jaden Smith & more can be found rocking their Sprayground backpacks and now they can be found in today’s hottest boutiques and retail stores in over eight countries.
After checking out my Coco & Breezy X-Ray backpack with matching sunglasses pouch – I am impressed. With enough space to house a laptop, tablet, accompanying wires, chargers & a few purse items – it’s not super bulky, making it easy for a girl to grab & go! This is the ultimate carry-on backpack while constantly traveling & the X-Ray designs on the backpack surface makes it a “cheeky” accessory sure to get a few laughs while getting “handled” by TSA. Not only are Spraygound backpacks stylish & protective, they’re also super durable. Made from durable polyester fabric and feature a sleek construction with hidden features, such as velour Laptop, Tablet and sunglass compartments, ergonomic padded back support, and stash pockets- just to name a few. With its advanced functionality and custom styles, Sprayground is the brand that let’s everyone express themselves.

Love and friendship are on the line in For a Good Time, Call…,
Two young women come up short on the funds needed to live in New York City. Lauren Powell (played by Ms. Miller), a reserved overachiever, is suddenly on her own after boyfriend abruptly breaks up with her. Katie Steele (Ms. Graynor), an irrepressible free spirit, is about to forfeit a dream residence unless she finds an apartment-mate. Their mutual best friend Jesse (Justin Long) has the bright idea that they room together, even though he well knows that they are polar opposites who haven’t spoken since they met in college and then fell out within minutes. When Lauren and Katie meet up anew at Jesse’s behest, they’re still an at-odds couple…
…but, without options, Lauren reluctantly moves in. With nothing in common, she and Katie barely speak – until Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator. This is, Lauren reasons, a good business opportunity; together, they will buy a land line and start up their own answering service. That’s when things really get interesting! Check out the trailer below and see how you can win an exclusive D&D prize pack that will guarantee a good time below!
