BIG GIVEAWAY!

Hey Jammers! Yes, it's finally time for the big 1,000,000 views giveaway I talked about several days ago.

This giveaway is very simple. All you need to do to enter is to comment down below your username, status (member or non-member), and a random number between 1-150. From here on out until next Saturday, September 9th, I will be accepting entries.

Keep in mind that EVERYONE gets a prize. Some items are better than others, but I will continue to fish out prizes until everyone that has entered before Saturday gets something. The prize pool includes lots of great items such as these...

(remember that there are many more prizes than just the items you see in this picture)

The only rules for this giveaway is to not cheat by entering more than once. Even if you enter with storage accounts multiple times, I will disqualify your entry and all of the extra entries you put in.

Good luck everyone! And happy (almost) September!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Attention! The 1,000,000 views party has now been moved from 9/2/17 @ 12:00 PM MST to 9/1/17 @ 6:00 PM MST. Sorry about this sudden change, but I hope y'all can manage! If things don't end up working out, I can reschedule again!

Unreleased Juice Fountain Variants

*PLEASE COMMENT SOME AJ DARES FOR ME TO DO!*

Hi Jammers! I'm sure you've all heard of the new Jammer Juice Party toy set that was released last month. One of the virtual, online promo gifts that comes with it is a neat juice fountain for your den that looks like this:

It has three bundles of grapes on the top, with grape juice trickling down the sides into a small pool at the bottom.

Well, about a week ago, pictures of three other unreleased juice fountain variants were leaked by TheOneandOnlySomething. Let's take a peek at them, shall we?

The top picture shows an orange fountain, the middle picture shows a green grape fountain, and the bottom picture shows a blueberry fountain.

Which of these unreleased fountains is your favorite? I like the blueberry one the most, but they're all pretty great.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to comment AJ dares for me to do!

Bye!

New Template + Awesome Edit by Cuddly

Hey Jammers! :) How are your days going? How many of you have started school yet? If you haven't started school yet, are you excited? Nervous? Dreading it? I want to hear how your lives are going. It's always a lot of fun to get to know you guys better.

A new month is right around the corner, which means it's time for a new blog template! I hope you guys are liking the September 2017 header, background, and theme so far.

I apologize for not having a lot to post about today. Honestly, my brain has been so dead lately. I've been so crazy busy with school, sports, and friends that I haven't been able to focus on blogging very much. Remember, if you ever have ANY post ideas for me, please, please, please tell me about them! I would love to hear your thoughts!

I promise that I will get that ''BIG GIVEAWAY'' I said I would host in several days. I hope you're all excited! And don't forget to enter the 1,000,000 Views Ultimate Contest that is open over at the contest blog!

Anyways, a good friend of mine who many of you know as Cuddly (aka Nafaria8) made this wonderful edit/signature thing for me recently!

Ahhh! It's so pretty! Thanks Cuddly! <3

And thank YOU for reading this somewhat boring post. See you later!

Reacting to Old Posts #2

ENTER THE 1 MILLION VIEWS CONTEST HERE!

Hi Jammers! Wow, it's been almost a year since I've done one of these kinds of posts last. I think it's time for another one; wouldn't you agree?

This time, I will be reacting to three different posts:

Umm... Lol.
I'm sorry, guys.
You don't see that everyday.

Oh man... I'm cringing already.

Let's just get this over with before I throw up or somethin'.

1. ''Umm... Lol.''

This post was made in December 2014. I was about twelve and a half years old at the time.

Here's what the post said:

---------------------------------------------

Okay, so someone pointed out this post on their blog:

First of all, I NEVER said that you couldn't say it because it goes against my beliefs. I only said you aren't allowed to say "Oh My G*d" on my BLOG.

Second of all, I'm allowing it now because not everyone shares my religion, so they don't know if it's a bad word or not. Anything else will be strictly deleted.

Crazy, insane, stupid, dumb, retard, flip, freak? SERIOUSLY. Those aren't considered bad words where I come from, so if you hate them, don't read them. I'm respecting your opinion, so I ask if you respect mine.

If you think I'm a hypocrite, fine, then. But I can assure you, I left RATH with a reason. I GIVE credit to the people who I take pictures and videos from, and if I don't, I fix it.

If you think I'm an awful person, I don't care. :I

---------------------------------------------

*facepalm*

Allow me to start off by saying this: you are allowed to say ''Oh My G**'' on my blog, since to most people in the world nowadays, it is not considered a swear word. Any other swear words will cause your comment to become unapproved and deleted for good. Secondly, the word ''retard'' is indeed offensive, but clearly I had no idea when I typed up this post.

Now that that's out of the way, we can talk about the situation behind the post. Some dweeb decided to rant about how I'm a supposedly ''horrible'' person because I ''paraded around Jamaa Township, disrespecting the Native American culture by wearing a virtual headdress'' (back when I owned it, of course). Pfft. If only he could see what the community is like these days with their unhealthy obsession over headdresses!

He also called me a ''#awfulperson'', and told everyone that I plagiarize other people's work, both of which are not true.

Honestly, this post, and the post that was featured in the post, both kind of make me laugh. Besides, who cares what the haters say? Never let them get to ya.

Alright, I think it's time we move on to the next post.

2. ''I'm sorry, guys.''

This post was made in November 2013. My blog was only a little over a year old at the time, so you can imagine my blogging skills weren't perfect. They still are far from perfect, if we're being real here.

---------------------------------------------

I'm really sorry I'm quitting. I guess I was kind of angry at the moment when I did that post. :( Anyway, to assure you, I won't be on as often as I would for the next few days. I'm terribly sorry I frightened you all like that. >.< I have had quite a bit of homework lately, and it might take a while. Boring homework at that, which no kid like me would enjoy. *rolls eyes at the thought of boring homework* 

I won't be posting for the next few days because my parents supposedly changed my Animal Jam password because they think it might get in the way of my plan to complete my homework by Wednesday. I freaked out when I tried to enter my password in earlier because I thought I had been hacked or my account was glitch-locked.

Oh, well....life's hard as a rock, and it was meant to be that way. :(

---------------------------------------------

Oh boy.

Basically, the day before I typed this post up, I was having a pre-teen crisis. I was stressed out with homework, and my parents took away my Animal Jam account by changing my password so that I could finish it. *sigh* Just wait 'till you get to high school, little me.

So, at first when I learned that my password had been changed, I freaked out and thought I had been hacked. Then my parents told me THEY were the ones who changed my password, which only made me even more angry. In fact, I was so angry that I told everyone I was quitting, only to contradict myself the next day.

I wonder how many times I've told people that I was quitting and didn't actually end up leaving or anything. Maybe I'll make a post on that someday.

But for now, let's close off with the final post I will be reacting to...

3. ''You don't see that everyday.''

This post was made on January 15th, 2013, so my blog wasn't even a year old yet.

---------------------------------------------

Okay! I know I already made a post, but I just need to share with you an AJ wolf parity! It's to the tune of Home by Phillip Phillips:
Hold on to me as we howl
As we track down this unfamiliar prowl
Although our noses are stringing us along
Just know your not alone
Cause I'm going to make this pack your home

Oooooooooooo Ooooooooo
Oooooooooooo Oooo

Settle down
It'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the phantoms
They fill you with fear
The trouble it may drag you down
If you get lost you can always be found
Just know your not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home

Ooooooooo Oooooo
Ooooooooo Ooooooo

(2nd verse repeats)

Ooooooooo Ooooooooo
Ooooooooo Oooooo
Aaaaaaaahhhh Aaaaaah
Aaaaaah Oooooo


You don't see that everyday.

---------------------------------------------

Ugh... eww. Would someone kindly give me a bucket to throw up in?

First of all, I used the ''your'' for the wrong purpose multiple times while typing up the lyrics. And I spelled ''parody'' wrong, too. >.<

This ''parody'' doesn't even make any sense. I'm not sure what stage my brain was going through at the time, but the evidence proves that it was absolutely... horrendous. *gulps*

Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading my reactions to these three old, embarrassing posts. Tease me all you want. :P

Bye Jammers!

(P.S. Do you like my new signature?)

1 Million Views

This is it.

Somebody cue the Space Jam theme music.

Or ''Final Countdown''.

Either one works, because we just hit...

Yes, ladies and gents, we have finally achieved the lifelong goal of ONE MILLION VIEWS.

Honestly, this is all so surreal. I can't believe this is happening. I just... I don't know how to take all of it in!

Thank you so...

SO...

SO....

SOOOO MUCH!

You guys are the best viewers EVER! <3 *packages and sends a giant hug through the mail to each and every one of you*

Like I've mentioned multiple times before, I will be hosting a LIT (yes I just said that and I can't believe it either) party, an EPIC contest, and (okay, I should probably quit emphasizing everything in caps like AJHQ sometimes does in Daily Explorer posts but I'll do it one more time and then I'll stop)... wait for it... a BIG giveaway! The prizes will be awesome for both the giveaway and the contest.

Since I've been so insanely busy lately, I haven't had the time to make a neat invitation for the party, so the information will just be typed up below.

When: 9/2/17 @ 12:00 PM MST

Where: nafaria9's den

I hope y'all can make it! And be thinking of some fun party games that we can play. I'm always open to ideas and suggestions that you guys have.

A good friend of mine came up with a spectacular idea for the official 1 Million Views contest, so that will be up pretty soon. I'll let you know once it is available for entries.

In addition to the contest, I will also be hosting a giveaway with lots of neat prizes to be won. Everyone who enters will be able to win at least something, so get excited!

That's all for today. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

THAT'S THE WHIP!

Old Jam-A-Grams

Hey Jammers! Happy weekend. :)

Today, we're going to be looking back at some old Jam-A-Grams from the past that you can no longer send.

No one really knows why they were removed, but perhaps someday they could return, and if so, that would be awesome!

This one says ''Greetings from Crystal Sands'', and it has that weird looking bird that used to be where the flamingo is standing in Crystal Sands today. Maybe I'll do a post about that in the future.

Honestly, now that I think about it, I don't exactly have the time to type up a description about each JAG, so I'll just paste the pictures here and you can look at them yourself. :P

What's interesting about this one is that ''Jamaa'' is actually misspelled. See? It says ''Jamma''. This JAG will always be unique that way. c:

These are just a few of the many JAG's that have come and gone. Which one of them was your favorite?

One little note before I end today's post - I want to do another ''reacting to cringy, old posts'' kind of a thing, so PLEASE list off some posts for me to react to!

Thanks for reading. Jam on!

Animal Jam Pillow Pets

Hey Jammers! How are y'all doing? As I've mentioned before, this week was my first week of the school year, so it's been... eh. :P

About a week ago, my good friend henrythegreat4 emailed me a link to a thread on the AJ Wiki website that was dedicated to finding information on unreleased and upcoming Animal Jam merchandise (most with promo gifts, of course).

Since there are so many different products that have yet to be manufactured and publicly released with little to no info on them, I've decided to just talk about one certain group of toys. You've probably guessed it already by reading the title of today's post. Yep, Pillow Pets! And not just any regular Pillow Pets - AJ PILLOW PETS!

Check out these three adorable Pillow Pets below...

Ahh... they look so soft and cuddly! Evidently, the first one is a bunny, the second is a lynx, and the third is a fox (or more specifically, Kit).

As of now, I do not know when these will be available, but one thing's for sure - I can't wait!

Thanks for reading. Have a lovely day!

No Wild Weekend?

Hi Jammers! I apologize for not posting today. I thought there was going to be some sort of a Wild Weekend thing that usually happens on off weeks for updates, but apparently not. :/ Don't worry, I will get back to posting starting tomorrow morning. Also, a little side note -  we're just inches away from 1 million views, and boy, am I excited for the things I have planned! :)

Thanks for reading. Happy jamming!

Testing Out AJ WikiHow Tutorials (PART 2)

Hey Jammers! It is now time for the second part of the Testing Out AJ WikiHow Tutorials mini series. In this post, I will be testing a tutorial called ''How to Be a Homeless Newborn on Animal Jam''. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE... y'all ready for this!? (*cue the Space Jam theme music*)

The first step to being a homeless newborn is to have the right kind of animal, which in this case is a bunny rabbit. Being a newborn will get you adopted ''in a jiffy''.

Next, you must pick out some worn and tattered clothing to wear, such as the old hood and cape from the Shiveer Shoppe.

Now you need to pick your colors. The tutorial says to make it look like you're cold, tired, and sick with wounds and blood marks. I think I did a somewhat decent job here.

Next, the tutorial says that I had to go out into Jamaa Township and announce to the world that I am indeed a lost newborn that is only one hour old. Since no one answered my plea, I decided to check the Pillow Room.

Much to my dismay, No one was in there!

Thankfully, a nice wolf showed up and asked me if I was trying to get adopted.

The tutorial said that if I were ever to be asked such a question as this, I would reply with ''Yes, please. I need money.''

AND GET THIS!

IT WORKED!

I GOT ADOPTED!!!

My new house was totally awesome.

So there you have it. I successfully completed the art of getting adopted as a lost, sickly, newborn child.

I hope you enjoyed today's funny little post. That's the whip!

How to Earn 20,000 Gems INSTANTLY!

Hi Jammers! Do you want to know how to earn 20,000 gems in a flash!? I mean, that's why you clicked this post, right?

Don't worry. This is 100% NOT clickbait.

What, you don't believe me?

Well, let me explain!

The newest Animal Jam app to hit the online stores, AJ Academy: Amazing Animals, is the perfect way to learn more about the many different and diverse animals that roam our beautiful planet. Basically, the app is ''AJ Minibooks On-The-Go''.

As you may already know, just about every minibook on the computer version of Animal Jam has a little quiz on the back. If you answer all five questions in the quiz correctly, then you are rewarded with a trophy for your den.

The minibooks on this new app are almost the same way, except they reward you with codes that can be redeemed on both Animal Jam and Play Wild! And get this: there are a total of 29 minibooks included on the app, which means 29 codes!

Each code gives you 750 gems. When you multiply 750 by 29, you get 21,750, which means 21,750 free gems for you! You've all just won the Jamaa lottery, my dudes.

Thanks to a few Animal Jam social media accounts, I've been able to rack up a list of all 29 codes. Enjoy!

New Promo Items: Alpha Armor + Fan Art

Hey everybody! It's Nafaria here, and I'm back with another post. :) Unfortunately for me, I start my sophomore year of high school tomorrow, and I'm not even sure what the heck I'm doing.

Anyways, several new promo items have been spotted in Jamaa this past few days

The design of these items is very similar to the famous alpha sword, which you can get by redeeming 96 Adopt-A-Pet codes. You can get the helmet by redeeming 150 codes, and the gauntlets for 180. The wings can be obtained by redeeming the promo code that comes with the ultra rare pet from the limited edition Eclipse Adopt-A-Pet toys. Interesting!

To end today's post, I'd like to put some epic new fan art I received a few days ago in the spotlight.

The top masterpiece was drawn by millyiscool, and the one on the bottom was drawn by Sparkling554. Thanks so much you guys! You're both so kind and talented. <3 Remember, as much as I love getting fan art, never feel pressured to make me some. It's totally up to you.

That's the whip!

Testing Out AJ WikiHow Tutorials (PART 1)

Hi Jammers! Welcome to the Animal Jam Whip blog.

Today, I am going to be testing out some weird AJ WikiHow tutorials. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here.

There will be several parts to this post (I suppose it's kind of a mini series). In this particular post, I will be testing out the tutorial called ''How to Be a Fairy on Animal Jam''.

The first step is to choose a cute animal. The article recommended to use a fox, eagle, or toucan if you're a member, so I decided to go with a fox.

Next I needed to get me some fairy wings. In this case, I chose some icy blue faerie wings.

After that, I had to accessorize my fairy with a cute hat and necklace. The article said the lollipop necklace is the best for fairies, but since I didn't have one of those (and they weren't available at the Summer Carnival... grr), I chose a black, short, rare spiked collar, because aren't those just the CUTEST!??!!?111!?11!!11?!!1?

And what's even more adorable is the gingerbread mask. Aren't I just the most lovable thing you've ever seen in your entire LIFE!!!!11!!1??!!1??111??1!!!??

Next, I had to choose my colors. The article said that if you want to be a fire fairy, you should choose red, orange, and yellow shades, and if you want to be a water fairy, you should choose blue shades. I decided on using red, yellow, and blue, because who says I can't be both!?

Just look at that gorgeous thing.

The next step to being a fairy on Animal Jam is to have a sweet, fairy-appropraite personality.

Genius.

Next, I had to go out into Jamaa Township and dance, because that's just what AJ fairies do, I guess.

And that's it! This tutorial is TOTALLY worth your time. ;)

See? Even this little piggy thinks so, too...

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Comment down below if you're anticipating part two and three!

Bye Jammers!
