Picture software has always been one of my weaknesses! Even though i'm not graphically inclined or anything of that nature! I used to make Soap Opera Collages back in the day and every now and again I will dable with making a button or something for my site or a theme for a message board now and again. The urge hasn't been with me lately.I also seem to be one of those people who can never get a picture resized the proper way without using something like tinypic, which is annoying sometimes when you might want to play with a pic and aren't online, which even happens to me sometimes! Recently, though I got the chance to try an photo software that is more about helping you do even the most basic things with your photos instead of making things out of them! The name of the software is Pearl Mountain Image Convertor I know it doesn't do fancy editing but it has some awesome features such as: convert images to other formats resize rotate crop add watermark apply … [Read more...]

Taking a breath!
I am taking a minute to breath! I have been going full force on writing various posts/reviews/posting reviews on my other site,etc since yesterday. A few things, I admit I was a bit behind on, and a few things I was just wanting to get up! I am getting ready to be doing 2 giveaways (one will be fairly quick and it will just be the first 20 people that comment get a code type thing, and the other will be a rafflecopter one!) I am glad to say i am *almost* caught up with only 2 reviews to write/post here, one of which I hope I can get up this evening (it goes along with that other giveaway!) and the other can wait a few days! I also have post that's a semi sponsored post but I have plenty of time to get it up! I finished all of my reviews that had to be written for Grits-Reviews earlier today as well! I have 5reviews in the Q over there to put up but that isn't too bad! I just know things are going to start being fast and furious for me with all the upcoming events and I want to … [Read more...]
BigFish Games & Nancy Drew Secret of the Old clock review
I always used to like to read Nancy drew books (and actually, who are we kidding I still do lol) I also really liked the series of games for the computer that they had for the computer. I actually bought a good number of them! Unfortunately for me They are not compatible with windows 7,and I haven't really got the money to replace ALL of them. Plus, since I bought mine there have been several new ones made. I recently was contacted by big fish games to do a review of their site/and a game of my choice! I was pretty excited when my first thought was "wonder if they have Nancy drew?" and to find out that they did in fact have Nancy drew! I haven't ever solved one of these games yet, but they seriously draw me right in lol. I actually find I need a guys help on solving some of the puzzles, so my dad and some of my ex boyfriends have came into play in the past! I decided to try out a game that I didn't already have from the Nancy drew collection,Nancy Drew - Secret Of … [Read more...]
Sinky, Flushy & Trashy: Natural House Review
I know this might sound Odd, but one of the things that I really missed about having my own place when we were staying with my parents a while back, was getting to clean my own house! I didn't realize what a chunk of my time that it took up, and that I actually would miss it when I didn't have it to do anymore! This time of the year, I would suppose that cleaning is on everyones mind more than at any other because, of course the great age old "Spring Cleaning" season! Which reminds me I really need to get started on that myself. I am so generally lazy I just keep up with sam's box, vacuuming my rug, my dishes, my clothes and just let everything else go! :) Recently I got the chance to check out some great natural household cleaning product options thanks to Natural House! I had tried out some natural cleaning things one time before and I was really excited to get the chance to try this new line of products with names like Flushy, Trashy, And Sinky! These natural household … [Read more...]
Newport News: A little fashion passion
One thing I like to browse and look at online every now and then are clothes & the like, especially since we all know I basically need an wardrobe overhaul!Which, I swear will happen sooner than later if I can help it! A recent site I have came across is Newport-News, and I really enjoy browsing around it. The site is clean looking & well organized and things are in the right categories, which is very awesome in my book! They have sections for Fashion, Swimwear, Shoes and accessories, Shape Fx, Special Sizes and a warehouse sale! There is also a place to sign up for their email newsletter, which of course is always handy when it comes to learning about sales and new arrivals and the like. The site is also easily searchable through the search bar at the top. The most awesome thing of all that I really found helpful was that it is easy to find the customer support information, which isn't always the case when it comes to some companies sites! The section that first … [Read more...]
Does Your Walmart have an 88 cent Aisle?
My mom called me in excitement one day to ask me did our walmart have an 88 cent aisle? I was like..Nooo I don't believe we do. She was telling me they had vitamins,pill boxes, and all kinds of helpful exciting goodies. When I went to visit her that weekend I took a trip out to her walmart and checked it out! I got david some heartburn meds( compare to tums) and some allergy meds (compare to zyrtec) I was pretty excited but pretty certain our walmart didn't have one! I was SEMI right! We don't have it on an aisle, but as an end cap (and of course after I took a picture they even moved it and put it on another end cap..so we kind of have 2!) I have also got generic benadryl from this section as well. Everything we have got is just as good as brand name and a whole ton cheaper! So next time you are at walmart keep an eye out for quality meds vitamins and such that are cheaper even than the dollar tree! :) If you have already discovered yours feel free to leave me a comment … [Read more...]
