Instant Film Camera Love

Now, I’m not saying you should replace your absolutely fantastic digital camera for this but… The Fujifilm Instant Film Camera does have its perks (and happens to be absolutely fantastic too)!

Reasons why you should buy The Fujifilm Instant Film Camera:
1. watching your pictures develop is a magical experience | 2. they are fun to use | 3. nostalgia | 4. if you are an instant gratification person like me, you won’t stop smiling every time you take a picture | 5. because you probably can’t give me a good reason not to.

Pinterest Cravings

My late night obsession with Pinterest has left me hungry.

12:30 am…

Fortunately, this daylight savings, I won’t be disappointed at 2am when the bars and clubs close, even though the clocks are set back. Actually, I don’t think I have been disappointed by the nightlife scene since my mid twenties. Instead, this Saturday/Sunday night/morning, I had a date. A long-lasting date with one of my favorite social networking sites, Pinterest.

Pinning away, I found myself hooked on a page filled with fantastic things to eat. I’m sure there were recipes somewhere in there but instead, all I could do was salivate as I stared at all the food I wanted so much to eat. As I scrolled through the page, each picture looked more delectable than the last leading me to the worst feeling ever… Pinteresting Cravings. Although I ended my date disappointed and starving, I am sure that I gained a pound… or two.

♥Don’t Forget To xoxo!

The BEST iPhone Apps…From The Diary Of An App junkie...

Dear diary,

I never thought the day would come when I would consider purging my App collection. After my latest find, I believe I am finally ready to quit my hoarding behavior and discard the mass amounts of organizational Apps I have purchased to date.

The reason for my erratic behavior… an organizer that not only looks great, it has integrated all aspects of my life in one spot… my iPhone (and iPad)! The name of this fantastical, incredible and perfect organizer App… drum roll please… Awesome Note (+Todo) (for iPhone)!

So here is the creepy part… I just found out about this app! Somehow, being Awarded with Apple App Store Hall of Fame and Apple iTunes Rewind, this app never came to my attention? Personally, I take offense to that. Someone should have informed me as I truly cannot keep up with everything these days. I am a mother, with a few jobs, a budding career as a writer and have a potential case of OCD… Can you tell I am a little disturbed? Ok, breathe… back to reality now. This app is fantastic and a must have for an organization freak such as myself.

Why you should get it… Here is the list…

Great colors (I like things that are visually pleasing)
Multiple fonts (Again, I like things that are visually pleasing)
Ability to take notes – The app even supports tags when taking notes… amazing
Events Calendar which integrates with your IOS calendar
No internet connection is required
Password protection
Diary notes… Dear diary…
You can attach pictures, maps and more
Everything can be emailed from the app
Print notes
Sync notes
Add links and click on the links directly from the app
You can even transfer notes, etc. between users
The app offers multiple background images
Create shopping lists or to-do lists and even email them… Or TEXT them… (yup, you can text from the app too!)

I am sure you don’t need me to go on! This one is a no-brainer! I AM OFFICIALLY IN L♥VE!!!

The app is available in both the standard version and the HD version! I purchased the HD version but heard they were both great! The difference = $1.00… You Pick!

Instagram Everything – Instagram Apps

The Wonderful World Of Instagram, Apps For Instagram And A New Level Of Social Networking And Social Media!

Posting pictures on Instagram could be my latest obsession! Until yesterday, I didn’t realize I had a number of Instagram followers. Personally, I have no idea why anyone would have followed me on Instagram since I only had 4 pictures posted… Well, to be honest, I forgot I had an account.

Yesterday, 5pm: My friend was showing me pictures on her phone and said… “Don’t you just love Instagram?”… Having forgotten about Instagram, and having little knowledge what all the fuss was over, I just nodded. I admit though, her pictures looked great!

Yesterday, 9pm: Intention – Writing. I sat in front of my computer contemplating… to write, or to Instagram…

I started with the search engine… no luck… Oops! I forgot, it was an app!

On to the app store…

Instagram now has apps for a Mac computer!

Ok, so you still cannot upload images from a Mac to Instagram, but who cares? The app was created for an iPhone… Not a computer. The purpose of the app: Make the pictures you take from your cell phone look fantastic!

Next, my iPhone…

Visiting the app store, I realized that I already had the app. I even had an account. A simple upgrade was necessary. Once complete, the fun began! Picture after picture, I created one masterpiece after another (lie… the app created one masterpiece after another). I posted each to Facebook, Twitter and more. A little overkill? Yes, absolutely! The next thing I knew, it was 1:30Am and it was time to call it a night… Bye bye Instagram… Until next time…

The world of apps associated with Instagram is so vast, I thought I would include just a few (honestly), of the apps I found!

Instalook - Find Instagram Photos around you

InstaHelp - The Unofficial Guide for Instagram

PhotoVote - Instagram Challenges

MyPad+ for Facebook, Twitter & Instagram

Calendagram - Wall calendars from your Instagram photos!

How To – Mobile Photography

Yes folks, as much as I cannot stand admitting this, but… Photography has gone mobile and that is not going to change!

Mobile photography goes against everything I have preached… I love my Canon Rebel! My pictures have never looked so wonderful. Unfortunately, I cannot carry my Canon with me all the time. On most occasions, my iPhone is my primary go to for capturing memorable moments.

This evening, I hit the JACKPOT! I found my next purchase! SnApp Shots, the book, written by Adam Bronkhorst. SnApp Shots is the ultimate guide for creating great photos using your mobile device. Although the emphasis of the book is on how to take great photographs with a mobile phone, it also covers the wonderful world of photography apps, accessories and more. Fortunately, SnApp Shots is such a good-looking book, that once you have mastered the mobile photography world, it can be showcased as the “perfect coffee table book” for your living room! :)

Turn Baby Pictures Into Wall Art

Ever since my daughters were born, I have been an over the top picture-taking momma. We have one wall in my house which is covered in framed pictures of my girls. One for every year as they grow. Finding frames which are affordable and similar in appearance has never been an easy task. That is, until I stumbled upon Baby Monogram Bamboo Wall Art – Bamboo.

Instead of searching for the perfect frame, which can also be quite expensive, I upload photos of my girls on the paper culture website. Through Paper Culture, I can order the Bamboo Wall Art with my daughter’s pictures on them. My wall of frames is now a wall of photos hand mounted on a 100% bamboo panel. With my order, Paper Culture will plant a tree in honor of my daughters with each order. The designers at Paper Culture will even monogram the frames or add a name using custom colors which match the colors in your photo. These are not only great for your own children, they also make for beautiful wedding pictures and more! They are truly great for yourself and gift giving.

Instant Film Cameras – Polaroid – A Past Trend Or Not?

INTRODUCING THE Polaroid 300 Instant Camera – Black
Remember the days when the Polaroid Instant Cameras were the best thing since sliced bread! I do! Just when you thought those were completely overshadowed by todays digital trends, Polaroid has brought an old trend to the forefront again.

Recently, my daughters and I were lunching at my girlfriends house. While there, I noticed a bunch of mini pictures on a wall. They were so cute that I had to look closer. As I approached them, I saw family members, friends and many pictures of my girlfriend’s two boys. I asked her where she had them printed. She told me it was from her new camera and then, she pulled it out of a draw… It was adorable! A new toy for this Mom I thought! Although I love my camera, this little mini made me extend my arms and wiggle my fingers like a little kid in a candy store that just couldn’t wait! I had to have it! She handed it to me and I started snapping! With each snap, a picture popped out of the camera. Even better, I got to shake it… “shake shake shake, shake it like a Polaroid picture” (I had to write that… lyrical credits to Outkast)… So much fun! I cannot wait to get my own!

Please don’t forget to vote for Trending Mom! I would love your help!
