My latest obsession.... Instagram!

Im getting out of control. I keep saying there won't be any new social media programs for me, but I can't help it. I love taking pictures and I love sharing them. Mainly because I always seem to think if I don't upload somewhere I may lose them forever. anyways, Instagram is a photo editing and sharing app for the iPhone. You can connect and search for almost anything. Heres a peek at what it can do

By no means is this the best of instagram but I just liked the picture. Since Im not a big app reviewer, heres a link for those interested in a good review

Pinterest

As if I need another social site..... Bt interest seems pretty cool. I learned about it last night from a coworker and promised I wouldn't get involved. The more I thought about it, along with some free time this morning I couldn't help but check it out.

What is it?

BAsically, its like a inspiration board. You can "pin" pictures of almost anything. Clothes, jewelry, hairstyle, food, recipes, crafts. Anything!

I was very disappointed to learn that you need an "invite" to join. Im hoping it won't take long. I look forward to using pinterest because I think it will eliminate my use of twitter and spring pad which I don't use that often.

Look out for my pins! well, if I ever get that invite email :)

Official Google Blog: Shop your favorite catalogs with Google Catalogs

Official Google Blog: Shop your favorite catalogs with Google Catalogs: (Cross-posted on the Commerce and Mobile blogs) For years, shoppers have enjoyed flipping through glossy print catalogs to be inspired, ...



This is so far my absolute favorite iPad app. I discovered it at such a great time. After spending a day at the mall saturday, I came to the sad but true realization that I don't like the mall. I was overwhelmed buy all the people and even more so the overly friendly and annoying sales people. No offense to sales people, but it's just not my cup of tea. I like to shop in peace. Anyways, back to how I discovered google catalogs. I was using my beloved app flipboard and was thinking " I wish there were more fashion articles or something of that nature". Then I seen the article/tweet about google catalog and the rest is history. There are so many stores, I am not even gonna list all of them because there are far too many. But one store "Sundance" gets mention, I almost liked everything In that catalog. They are pricey but unique. With google catalogs you can also save favorite items, shop within the app, and even make a collage of all of your favorite things.


Google Catalogs is definitely worth the download, it's free and you will not be disappointed:)

2nd trim

so I gave in... I had to wash my hair, it was so dry and lifeless. I carefully detangled my whole head while taking the twist out, then i wet my hair and "dry" detangled before I washed it. I lost a lot of hair detangling, but I expected this being as though i didnt wash and detangle in almost a month. I also trimmed my hair, I am getting so sick of those stringy heat damaged ends! Right now, my hair is in large twist. I will retwist tommorow after it dries overnight. I plan on using my shea moisture curl smoothie. Im changing my challenge up a little, but still will stick to it. I also need to do another length check because i trimmed at least an inch off in the front. I went from hair well past my chin, now only to my lips :(

ok, be back tommorow or in the next few days with pics of my twist!

Uggs and Laptop bag!

A couple days ago we went the mall because i decided it was time i give ugg boots a try. SInce uggs became popular i had been avoiding jumping on the band wagon. But then I started thinking....... I spend about $100 at least on boots each year and while they are comfortable and cute they are never warm. So i bought uggs, for the warmth and hopefully comfort :) I couldn't get the traditional pair because I am sick f seeing them instead I bought the retro cargo pair (i think thats what its called) it has a strap and side pocket lol with blue and purple stitching. I wore them yesterday and I wasnt all that impressed as far as comfort goes, it felt like i was walking on a hard board :( they were warm though, it was about 40degrees and my feet were hot! I guess i will be keeping my ugg boots, im sure i will grow to like them, right now I am not in love with them. i kinda think my legs are too skinny for them lol.




My other purchase was my marc jacobs laptop bag. I wasnt shopping for one, but we stopped in the apple store and it was just too cute and the only one left! I grabbed it up, and when i got home i went online to see if i could get a better deal. Wouldn't you know, i couldn't find it online. Jarred (hubby) said i wouldn't lol. anyways the reviews on it isnt great, about half the reviews said that the strap ripped off after only a few days :( i hope that wont happen to me. Maybe those reviewing had heavy laptops My laptop is less than 5 lbs

here are links to my purchases. i got my boots from the walking company and bag from the apple store.

Springpad

This is an app i installed on my EVO months ago and hadnt used. I just randomly decided to try it out today and boy have i been missing out, This app allow you to create list of any type. it synchronizes on the web and then catorgorizes your list. i literally just installed it, so i cant say much about it but i am sure i will love it. I often when looking around online for recipes, shopping, hair stuff just bookmark things, this will be my replacement bookmark.
