What is more exciting than taking plain cell phone camera photos?
Adding a a cool lens.
These cool 3 in 1 cell phone camera kit from Zeso is super cool. The kit includes the cell clip with a fisheye, wide angle, and macro lens. It comes in a zippered waterproof case with a carabiner clip. With purchase, you also get access to a E-book with cool ideas and explanations on how to use the kit in creative ways.
I really don't like April 1st. I am gullible - it's true.
So what is my solution this year? Why not stay in bed?!
I have a new 4 piece (1 flat sheet 102"x90", 1 fitted sheet 80"x60", and 2 pillowcases 20"x30") silky smooth, brushed microfiber bed sheet set that is so comfy! Why wouldn't I stay in bed.
I am an adult, so I figure I need some good sheets. This set is fade, stain, shrink and wrinkle resistant. It is ore durable than cotton, hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. It isn't, however, resistant to dog hair when my furry friend sneaks under the covers when I'm not looking. But, they are machine washable so we can compromise.
If you don't like the gray, don't worry, the set comes in a handful of different colors. They have a light stripe design that is fabulous. My favorite thing about this set is the company. They offer a 100% LIFETIME GUARANTEE on every purchase.
PS The sheets fit mattresses up to 16" so you can put them on a mattress in your bedroom, guest room, RV, vacation home, or wherever you want. It's always time to buy some new sheets! #Mellanni
I received this item at a discounted price in return for my honest opinion.
Over the last two weeks, I have met many new people who made me feel completely blessed. It is a good feeling. I have felt this way before, but I especially needed it recently. I am thankful for them.
It reminded me of a few months ago when I was driving in Salt Lake City down some residential area with a friend and there was a sign posted on the corner that simply said, "You are Loved." We looked at each other and said a big, "Aww!" It was a simple gesture that a person made to let people know they ARE loved. Heart: melted.
This is why I really like this new subscription box. (Subscription boxes are so cool right now.) It is called loved+blessed® and is about hope and encouragement rather than products.
Each month you get a box of encouragement with a different theme that the company hopes will brighten your month, help you face the challenges of life, and allow you pass encouragement on to someone else.
Inside of each box is a mini poster, reminder sticker, scripture card (to keep somewhere where you can see it daily or to give to someone for encouragement), a keepsake theme card, and a special gift (it can be jewelry, stationary, journal, home decor, and more).
This is what came in mine this month. It has a framed poster with pencils so you can color it (adult coloring books are the thing this year) and then the rest of the things I mentioned with the theme of being a masterpiece. I LOVE this idea! We all know the world needs more love and kindness spread around.
I haven't really grown up having crushes on movie stars or famous singers. I feel like they don't see us and say, "Hey, that's the person who stood in line for hours to get tickets to my show, " or "That person flew to London to buy our import album before it was available in the states," or whatever we may do to support them; so why should I know about where they went to college or which color is their favorite.
However, James Franco (and don't forget about Jimmy Fallon) might make me blush a little bit when I see them. The movie 127 HOURS starring James Franco is based on a true story. I saw the film in theaters and thought it was so good. (If you haven't seen it, go watch it now. Wait, watch it after you finish reading this post.)
Turns out 127 HOURS isn't just a movie with an adorable leading actor. It is the true story of Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a boulder crashes on his hand and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Today, I was able to meet Aron today as he spoke about this experience and how he spent 5 days examining his life and trying to survive.
He started out saying he doesn't have his right hand any longer, but he didn't lose anything from this experience. He feels like instead he gained things from the event. He said that our boulders, whatever they may be, can either be pushed away by us or we can embrace them and be thankful for them. WOW, right?! He is an incredible person who suggested that we think of "hell" as a hot, crowded, noisy place yet he felt a personal hell that was just the opposite in that canyon. He found himself in a cold, dark, lonely, quiet hole where he was trapped. To help him get out, he had a premonition of sorts that woke him up to a realization that finding love could help him survive. I understand this - I had this same feeling when my brother Tim passed away. I too found myself in a lonely spot that made me realize I had a love that I needed to pursue and embrace whether it worked out or not. I guess we had a similar boulder.
After this experience, and having cut off his own hand, Aron returned to the outdoors and has trekked and climbed several different mountains. He reminded me that as we all have experiences in life (hopefully not as dramatic) we enrich our lives. The thing we need to remember tis hat we are here to enrich the lives of others along the way as well. He definitely enriched my life as he spoke today and I am thankful for the opportunity to meet and learn from him.
*I might have secretly wished James Franco would've come out on the stage to surprise Aron.*
The Oscars were handed out this weekend. Lots of people are talking about it. I don't have anything to say about the awards, but they are all about good films so I want to share my ideas about an inspiring one I saw just the other night.
I went to the theater to see Eddie the Eagle. It is inspired by an amazing true story. The two main characters are Eddie the athlete who won't give up on his dream and Bronson Peary who has given up on everything. Most of the other people in the movie are there telling Eddie he can't reach his dream.
I have been thinking: what type of person am I? I never want to be the one who puts someone down.
We all need to say goodbye to the silly things and people that hold us back and have courage to believe in ourselves. We might have to change the details of our plans slightly along the way, but with our eye on the target, we can do anything. We are all worth it.
It's time to let go of anything that is keeping us down and learn to fly like an eagle.
Guess who got an amazing Christmas present this year. I am so lucky.
This gold MacBook is beautiful.
It is so light and will work so much better for me to carry as I travel than my 15" MacBook Pro. Don't get me wrong, I love my MacBook Prom but over the years, the devices have gotten smaller and easier to pack. The only thing that is missing on this device is a USB port. There is only port that uses the same cord as the iPhone charger.
There is no need to fear. The Apple Store sells cords and external USB ports.
Thankfully, I was given a USB Type C cable to test out in return for my honest opinion. It is totally compatible with the new Apple MacBook, Nexus 6P, Lenovo tablet, and all other Type C devices.
It is double-sided (which means it is reversible so you don't have to fumble around when trying to use it). The 1M cord is made with an aluminum foil material that happens to be waterproof with a high stress quotient. This means it will hopefully last a long time. Now moving large files or transferring movies can be done in mere seconds, all while charging your device with up to 40 Watts (2 Amp) power.
Here is some technical info for those of ya'll that understand it:
Output: 5V 2.4A, Standard: USB 2.0, Length: 1 M, OD: 3.5mm, Interface: Type C to Micro USB, Swing frequency:2000 times
This USB Type C (USB-C) to Micro USB Cable comes with a 12 month warranty card. I love companies that stand behind their products. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on one of these new compatible device in the photo above, then you will want to get one of these #USB cords in your accessory bag.
