Rare Item Monday!

Greetings, Jammers, Arcticstar here! I am terribly sorry for not posting yesterday - I was not able to connect to the internet when I intended to post, and it was not working the entire Saturday either. Luckily, though, I am back here to you again!

Today's rare item is sold in Jam Mart Clothing for 700 gems and is for members only. Introducing the Rare Sparkly Head Bow! I have never honestly liked this item all that much, but I can appreciate that it is original and has good colour options. The rare itself generally looks good, and the price is a reasonable one as well! Be sure to buy one today while you still can!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Offing: the sea between the horizon and the offshore.

This is an interesting word - who knew there was a word for such a thing?

Our fact of the day:

It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty - three to frown.

Yet another reason to smile? It is a much simpler and far more positive alternative to frowning!

Have a wonderful day my friends - I hope to see you all again this Sunday, and perhaps in Jamaa this week!

Leap Year Party 2016 Predictions

You know, one of my favorite quotes is now "Going down a hill is easier than going up. However, at the top is the best view." It is saying that it could be hard to achieve something great, but in the end it will eventually pay off. That's how I got here, one of the first Animal Jam blogs I ever read. 

What do you guys think about these inspirational quotes? (Yes, I know, I sound so weird saying them XD)

Anyways, here is the new item, sold in Jam Mart Furniture.

There have been a few lucky items released lately, including the ones General mentioned yesterday. There are many more to come, so I wonder what they could be.

Remember the latest Jamaa Journal? Who remembers this page?

From what I remember, this Leap Year Party looks different from the last one. Because of the differences in this picture, it leads me to think that there could be new items in the stores this year. What if Spiked Collars and other really rare items (they are only rare based on the popular opinion) are released at the Leap Year Party? I think many, MANY Jammers would quit. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. AJHQ did say "incredibly rare items", so who wouldn't doubt it? Nextly, here is the latest update on the Daily Explorer:

                                          

  

  

If you'd like to enter this Diamond Challenge, head on over to the Daily Explorer for your chance.

That's all for now, I'll see you guys next Saturday! You could also view my posts on The Animal Jam Spring, my other blog, during the Weekdays. Remember- if you want to reach a goal, you have to be determined and work hard. 

Late Post

Aahh! General forgot to post yesterday, so here is his late post!

General's not sure if anyone has reported this already, but there is now a set of clover armour in the Diamond Shop...

There are five pieces in the set

General bought the clover gauntlets, but he was feeling pretty stingy, so he didn't buy the rest of the set.

Don't the gauntlets look like dinosaur feet?

That's about it! Next week, General will make sure to post on time, and there will be more exciting updates!

Friday

Hello Jammers and welcome back to another Grace2092 post every Tuesday and Friday for your entertainment! 

How are you guys doing? I had a pretty good week so far, didn't you? And if you did, comment about what was so awesome about it, and if you didn't, I am sorry and I challenge you to find a way to make next week 10X better.

Well lets get started with what is new in stores.

Jam Mart Furniture: New Shamrock Couch-650 gems- I would say this is very festive and 60-80's look. But I do not find it that appealing, I guess you just have to be in that festive mood. 

Jam Mart Clothing- Nothing new.

Make sure to buy all the Valentine Sales before they completely disappear (like my love life) lol just kidding.

In two days its International Polar Day! Yay! I love polar bears, they are so cute! Make sure to check out and read about the fun facted banners of polar bears around Jamaa!

Thats the update so far! I hope you guys are having a wonderful day and a relaxing weekend. 

Fun fact: A coyote has such great hearing, it can hear a mouse under a foot of snow....wow.... just wow....

Old/New Secrets

        I'm back today and there is one new item in stores, the Clover wand. Much like the Heart wand released in early February to promote the upcoming spring festival and St. Patricks Day thing. Are you excited about it or not?

          

         Like I said, there will be some secrets revealed now. They may be old or new to you depending on what your status is and how long you have been playing. First, there is the arctic fox door. Some may remember a seal door in Mt. Shiveer. Now, the arctic fox door has replaced it. You can see the shape next to the polar bear banner. I wonder if this one will actually lead to a room like the trapdoor in the Temple of Zios.

           The couple others require a flying animal. First one is in the Temple of Zios. You see the elephant statue on the map, right? Yet, you have no idea where it is. You need a flying animal to get there. You basically go up the Temple of Trivia game and tada! There it is! For the non members out there, here is a photo. A note: the owl is my brother's. I don't hack people ok?

             For this one, you need a flying animal and to go to Coral Canyons. Once you are there, try to go to the den shop and then fly up. You will see a shop up there nestled between the clouds. It is the Royal Ridge. It is quite awesome actually and you may never know this if you don't go exploring. Here is the outside of the shop and what it sells.

            In the shop, there is actually one more page and it is a clothing rack for members. One thing that puzzles me however is that you need a flying animal to access this shop. Yet, there is a non member item there and I wonder why. Maybe it is for the members to buy and put on trade for everyone. It is like the barrel in the Horses Only party. Basically, the barrel is Non member and the horse is a member animal.

              This is what I love about AJ. There is always something new to discover if you look hard enough. Be kind, jam on, and have fun!

Rare Item Monday!

Greetings, Jammers, Arcticstar here! Before I move onto anything, be sure to check out the post below  - which celebrates the AJC's 2 million pageviews, and announces an upcoming celebration!

Today's rare is sold in Jam Mart Furniture for 750 gems. Introducing the Rare Ladybug Hat! This item was always very cute to me, and it fits AJ well. I believe they are introducing this rare on account of all the animal themed den items they have been creating these days. Be sure to buy one of these adorable hats if you like them, as they are available today only!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post!

Our word of the day:

Furtive: Sneaky

An excellent word to use in place of "sneaky"

Our fact of the day:

Cat kidneys are so efficient that they are able to re-hydrate by drinking seawater!

Amazing, isn't it?

Have a wonderful day my friends!

AJC Hits Two Million Pageviews!

Greetings Jammers, Arcticstar here!

I am aware that I am a bit late on this - however, I am nonetheless proud to say that the Animal Jam Community Blog has reached over two million pageviews! From years of this blog's existence and the support of loyal readers like you, we have reached a milestone! Thank you to all of you that have, and continue to read our posts everyday. It means a great deal to my fellow authors and I that our writing is being viewed and appreciated by wonderful Jammers!

And so, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I indubitably must host a party some day! I will have to get back to you all about a date and time, but I will start discussing times with the authors as soon as possible. It would be greatly helpful if in the comments you could leave your time zone so we can figure out a good time that generally works for the most amount of people!
Also, I have been meaning to get a new poll up on the blog - I will speak with Pumaa about that soon!

Now, on to the actual post:

Today's new item is the Tin Foil Antlers, which are sold in Jam Mart Clothing! This item is cute, and I can already think of some outfit ideas. Be sure to buy them if you like them as they are only 650 gems!

My apologies for not having a Jammer Sundae today! Despite the fact that it is Sunday, I felt it would be more important to draw attention to the Pageviews celebration rather than a Jammer Sundae!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Indubitably: Undoubtedly; without a doubt

The Animal Jam Community hitting 2 million page views is indubitably an amazing feat (this has quickly become one of my favourite words, hee hee)

Our fact of the day:

Studies have shown that people who regularly help others selflessly are significantly happier and are far less prone to becoming depressed as they grow older.

Let us all slowly become better, kinder, helpful people!

Happy Jamming, my friends!

Snow Cloud + Extra Updates

What can rares not buy? A true friend.
It's Penguin here, that one guy that posts on Saturdays. (Ha, I kinda like "that one guy that posts on Saturdays")
The opening question is actually something to think about if you noticed... sometimes I like to include small things like that. Anyways, here is the new item for today, sold in the Diamond Shop:

Also, there are a few departing items you might want to pick up.

There have been a few changes around Jamaa that aren't quite popular yet. Here are a few.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the Nametags now have a little gloss on them. They are lighter than usual. It looks like another new addition to the update!
Also, this MIGHT not be new, but I noticed that it was different than the last time I saw it. Jammer Central does not have a Calendar and instead has Play Wild updates! I'm pretty sure few people know about this.

When you click on the Play Wild part, this comes up:

This has been a great update so far, but the most surprising part of all for me was how small Goats were. I was expecting them to be much bigger.
What do you think of the update? Are there any others things that I didn't mention? Feel free to comment your thoughts below- and remember to Jam on.

Freaky Friday

Hello and welcome back to another Grace2092 post every Friday for your entertainment!

So I just have to say I am really sorry that I did not post for a whole week! Computer problems, im so sorry. 

Ok well, lets get started. NEW IN STORES!

Jam Mart Clothing: Goat Horns-300 gems. (sorry could not find picture)

Jam Mart Furnishing- Nothing new, but that Octopus Table is super cool!

Q/C - Questions and Comments- Jamaa Journal!

Question: Goats are here! Do you think that we should stick to the crazy wild animals like bears, wolves and tigers or do you think goats will fit right in?

Question: Polar Bear Day! Do you like polar bears, what about them?

Question: Do you want a falcon to come to Jamaa or do you think that they are bringing in to many new avatars?

Im so sorry about the Valentine Contest! But I do have a winner. Yes, and that is the amazing AWESOMEPANDABUNNY! Yep! You are the lucky winner for an amazing photo that captures Valentines Day in pixels! (over dramatic? XD) You win a rare Polka Dot Tuxedo! I will send it to you right away.

Fun Fact of the day: The Howler Monkey is the loudest land animal! They should hear my dog, Rocko when he is crying for attention. If any of you have english bulldogs, which if you do, you rock1! Then you know what it is like when they are crying.

Thank you for reading Animal Jam Community Blog and have a fantastic day!

Goats Are Here!

General here with some big news: goats are now available in Jamaa! They are a very cute addition to the Diamond Shop and seem to be very popular already.

Here are the goat's actions:

From left to right: Sit, Sleep, Play, Hop and Dance

You can read an all-new book about goats in the Chamber of Knowledge.

All About Goats!

Also, the Leap Year Party will be popping up soon! Make sure to go while you can, because it won't happen again for another four years!

That's all for today! Until next time, here is a GIF of General's goat dancing!

Friendship Party!

    Today, there is a new item, the octopus table. Honestly, I sense a theme of animals. A frog rug and octopus table. Hmm..... Wonder what AJHQ is going to release next, a horse chair? I don't have a picture of it right now so sorry. Basically, it is a octopus holding up a piece of glass so it looks like a table. There is your description.

      I went to the Friendship Party today and took some snapshots of my favorite parts in it. Number one, the chocolate fountain. I would love to eat that chocolate. Doesn't it look good?                                                                                   

     

      Number two, the little garden on the right side. It is peaceful and usually doesn't have that many people. I really like the waterlilies in the pond there.

                           

        Last but not least, the circle on the left side where people like to stand. It is usually crowded or has at least one person there. The little heart sign right outside is adorable and I wonder what it says.

                            

         Those are my adventures in the Friendship Party. Have fun, Jam on, be kind, at last of all:

                            

Have a great week!

Rare Item Monday!

Greetings, Jammers, Arcticstar here! I am back from my school's ski trip, which went very well. Sorry for missing yesterday's post, I was quite tired from the trip!

Today's Rare Item is sold in Epic Wonders for 2,500 gems. Introducing the Rare Fairy Princess Hat! This item was never one of  my favourites, but it is cute, and has nice colour options. I especially like the colour of this rare, and I am sure it would work well for a kingdom roleplay! Be sure to buy this item today!

In other news, I have gotten myself a Friendship Cottage den, and have finished decorating it! Feel free to stop by anytime, regardless of if I am online or not to see! Perhaps it is a bit late, but it could help you decide whether you would like to buy a Friendship Cottage Den or not!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Acumen: The ability to make good decisions

This is an excellent quality to have!

Our fact of the day:

Mosquito repellents don't repel, but instead hide you. The chemicals in the 'repellent' block the sensors on the mosquito so that it can't sense your presence.

Amazing isn't it? All the things you can discover when you take the time to search around is fascinating!

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Jamaa's Hidden Language returns

Hmm, I wonder how you would say "hi" in Jamaasian Language. I bet it would be cool to have as an opening for this post- but sadly, AJHQ hasn't released what any of their words mean yet.
It's time for the real part of this post now. There are two new items in Jamaa.

In my opinion, I find some of the Valentine's Day items just a little on the unique side. Especially the Heart Backpack. That- well, was the most unique of all. And the other item, the Heart Welcome mat, is returning. It's similar to every other Heart Mat out there.
Okay, I thought up a bunch of things today to post about. One of them was the Seasonal Tree has a new change to it! (Thanks to my buddy Nafaria9 for informing me about this.)

If you look closely, you'll notice that there's tiny hearts on the tree. I believe this is new! (At first I thought they were tiny flower buds because Spring is almost here.)
Also, there is one more thing I wanted to share with you- more Jamaasian Language. Yes, now it makes sense why I put that awkward beginning in this post.
I went to Sarepia Theater, and when going up to the "Concession Stand", I found this.

Look at the top part to see what I mean. Many people have noticed hints of the Jamaasian Language before, but I haven't seen this one. There's so many more, which leads me to think that one day AJHQ could release their own language. (Yay, I can say hi in the Jamaasian way when that happens)
What do you think about the Jamaasian Language? Have your own thoughts? I'm going to end this post here. But before I do, here's a true fact: sometimes, these little hints can turn out to be the next big thing.

Chat 'Improvements'

Hello Jammers! General here with a question...do you think that the new chat 'improvements' being made by AJHQ are good or bad? A lot of Jammers are unhappy with the update. Many words aren't picked up by the new filters, which under this system, makes it so that they're blocked!

General tried to say "langoustine"

In other news...a lot of items are leaving the shops around Jamaa soon! Most of them are seasonal, but the always-in-style circular chair is going too!

Get one while you can!

That's about it for today, Jammers! See you next Thursday!

Items around Jamma

      On Super Bowl Sunday, I saw this thing. I thought it was amusing.

Sorry about the poorly cropped picture

        Today's new item are friendship necklaces. Get a friend of yours to purchase on that matches yours and you will be BFFs! I think its perfect for anyone who wants to show their loneliness or their amazing awesome friendship with another jammer. It is great for a valentine outfit. I have the left one and if anyone wants to be my BFF, go ahead and feel free to do so. ;)

           Also, there are heart tables and heart hat. Both are for members and the hat is 750 gems while the table is 400. Valentine's day is coming up (this Sunday). What are you guys doing on that day? Anything special in mind? That's all there is in Jamma today. Toodles!

Rare Item Monday!

Greetings Jammers, Arcticstar here with yet another post!

Today's rare item is sold in Epic Wonders. Introducing the Rare Dragonfly wings! Overall, the colours that have been chosen are good, and it's a nice item. However, the price is almost disturbingly high! 4,000 gems for a rare? My goodness! If you like this rare, and have gems to spare, be sure to buy it today while it is still in stores!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post:

Our wonderful word of the day:

Imbroglio: A complicated situation

What an interesting word!

Our fantastic fact of the day:

And ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

How strange to imagine...

Have a lovely day, my friends!
