I'm still alive


It's pretty bad that I haven't posted anything since February. I just keep putting it off week after week and the events I want to blog about keep piling up and the pile gets more and more intimidating....so I decide to wait until the next week.

I'll catch up on the last few months later  - including my two brothers leaving on missions, my emergency trip to utah and my finger miracle.

Let's just keep it light and random for now. Here are some things that I am doing and/or highly recommend:

I am reading:


(amazing!!)

(just finished it)





I am craving:

Deep Fried Mars Bars - with extra cream & chocolate and a side of ice cream
(Don't have my own photo handy right now)

I am loving: 

Artistry Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 (tint 3)
This is my go-to for summer instead of foundation. It's fantastic - evens out my skin tone and gives my face a healthy glow!

I am following:









I keep up with those on: 
(I used to use Reeder but this app is free and allows you to add/delete subscriptions right on it)

Other apps that are awesome and free:

 (K this one isn't free, but it is sooo worth the $0.99 - Best messaging app I've seen for iPhone. It allows you to send text, pictures, video and audio in a user-friendly interface. You can also make calls on it. It either uses wifi or data. I use it to send pics and videos (which are expensive via text messaging), and to talk to friends/family in the USA, Hong Kong and Australia for no extra charge. I wish all my friends had it!)

(Think walkie talkie or instant voice messaging)

(Part of the MobileMe collection. You can view your own and others' MobileMe galleries....such as your brothers who are on missions. Yep, I can view all of their pictures on here)

(Handy handy tool that enables me to easily manage 6 email accounts at once).

(Hopefully you won't need it, but you want it set up in case you ever lose your phone! From the world wide web you can locate your phone on a map, send a message to it, turn on a really loud and annoying signal so it will be found, remotely lock it or even erase it. That's pretty fantabulous.)

(If you likes Words, then try this! It's a cool twist on Hangman that you can play with friends or strangers - I am personally still waiting for my friends to discover this)

(choose your filter and create a supa sweet photo like this!)

(Facetime has been a disappointment for me - I've never been able to get it to work overseas, and you still need a wifi connection. Skype works great anywhere for audio and video calling.....or at least I think so. We used Skype to video chat with our parents who were in Mexico while we shopped for couches for them, and I don't recall having a wifi connection...but I may be wrong.)


I would like to do more:
(so I better get started! Goodnight.)
