hi guys! today i wanted to share with you all about these great new headphones from Jaybird.  I've always hated wearing earbuds because they never seem to stay in and the cord always gets in the way or isn't long enough, especially when i'm walking around campus, exercising or driving in my car.  well, i think i found a solution with Jaybird.  Jaybird creates state of the art headphones for active lifestyles.  i've been lusting over their BlueBuds X headphones and they have definitely found a spot on my christmas list for santa.  these headphones are the smallest bluetooth headphones available, yet they pack an incredible 8 hours of play time, double that which has previously been possible from a product this small.  you can enjoy a full day of music and calls, or work out an hour a day for an entire week on a single charge.  talk about convenience! plus, a stand out feature of BlueBuds X is the ability to lift the cord off your neck for a super liberating workout experience.  you can use the earphones either in the traditional under-ear wearing style for music & calls, or over-ear, designed for those wanting a great sports music experience, free of anything on your neck.  plus, they're sweat proof!

Jaybird has some great other styles too, like the Freedom Sprint wireless buds or the Sportsband, both feature premium wireless music and calls, with warm bass tuned to eliminate listener fatigue during long workouts.  you can find all the great styles on the Jaybird homepage or head straight to the shop and get your hands on these babies!

but guess what?! Jaybird is giving away a pair of free headphones every day!! AND you can enter everyday to win! each day they pick a new winner! all you gotta do is just head on over to the Jaybird homepage and enter. so what are you waiting for? enter the contest now! good luck!

Hey, Eat Drink & Be a Tourist readers! My name is Ashley and i'm excited to share with you my favorite spot:

yes, that IS a waterfall spilling onto the beach

Big Sur, CA!

I first discovered Big Sur on a road trip with my best friend and then fiance. it was our last spring break together, so we decided to go out in style! we traveled up Pacific Coast Highway the entire time- enjoying the rolling hills and mountains to the east and the great, expansive pacific ocean to the west.

we even found our wedding location, randomly, while stopping to pee (; although, on our wedding day, it was super foggy and the view up the coast was obstructed...

whodathought we'd be back here in 6 months getting married?!

we camped, we hiked, we floated down the freezing cold big sur river... it was a trip for the books, i tell ya. one that always pops into my head around this time of year when it's still just a little cold to venture out in the redwoods, but warm enough to brave the isolation before the summer crowds.

best seat in the house. house = america.

and now that i've shared with you my favorite spot

i'd like to also share what is sure to be your favorite spot:

a sidebar ad on my blog!

i know, you're thrilled.. so enter below, will ya?!
