What Is Beauty?

I loved this and felt I had to share it! What is beauty to you? We all struggle at times with our outward appearance and often forget about the beauty that lies within. I said to the hubby just last night that it is amazing how much more beautiful we look if we just smile! So forget your cares and take time to just smile – it is Friday after all, so even more reason to smile! 😀

Have a great Friday and an awesome weekend!

My Top 4 Foods to Eat

“My top 4 Foods to Eat” in no particular order:
  • I am definitely more of a savoury person when it comes to food and a bit of a carnivore, so meat is always high on my list of staples. I love nothing better than a delicious fillet steak, with pepper or mushroom sauce and crispy French fries!
sushi
  • My second favourite food to eat would have to be sushi, although if I am dining with my youngest poppet and we are sharing a platter, I have to eat quickly otherwise I lose out! (She loves her sushi!) My favourite sushi roll is a California roll with prawns and avo. (usually accompanied by a few glasses of Graham Beck bubbles!)

  • Third on my list is Thai curry, well I pretty much love most Thai food but Red Chicken & Prawn Thai curry is a favourite; I often cook it at home and the hotter the better!
creme-brulee
  • OK technically the last item is not really “food” more “desert” but a girls gotta have something sweet in her life – I really “heart” Crème brûlée. Often I will try to get the hubby to share it with me (in an attempt not to look greedy) but I have learnt my lesson it’s better to get my own!

What is your favourite food or desert? Are you more a savoury or a sweet eater?

Top 10 Instagram Apps by A Night Owl

 Top 10 Instagram Apps by A Night Owl ~ Guest Author

Hi, I’m Kimberly and I {heart} Instagram. It’s by far my app of choice on the iPhone. I love to see all the fun, beauty, and creativeness that others are able to capture in pictures. It’s inspirational. I also love to share things that are important to me and what inspires me.

This year I’ve chosen to participated in the #photoaday challenge by @fatmumslim. If you want to see my pictures so far, you can access my #photoaday album HERE. Also, if you’re on IG, come find and follow me at @anightowlblog…I always follow back!

I’m asked from time to time what my favorite apps are to edit or create photos I post on Instagram. And I always love to share! I only use my iPhone for pictures, but there are many apps that I love to use for filters, frames, and labels. Here are my Top Ten faves:

There are many frame apps out there, this is the one that I use. You can choose from many collage frames sizes and styles, and with the add-on, add labels to your photos.

 

Make a cool poster out of your photos! Fun options!

 

Add cute labels and banners to your photos.

 

You can washi “tape” your pictures onto frames with TONS of different and fun options!

 

Make a free form collage with different shaped and sized photos! Change backgrounds, add text.

 

Crop your photos into fun shapes!

 

Turn your photos into a comic book sketch!

 

Add text to images. Send a message!

 

Share your photos with others, change them up with fun filters and effects.

 

It’s a photo booth in your “pocket”! You can use this in combo with Pic Collage for a fun photo compilation!

 

I hope that helps! And I hope you love the list, download some new apps, and continue to create! Also, I’m continually inspired by new Instagram friends. So if you’re new to IG or want to make new friends, come check out our new Instagram Blog Hop on Tuesdays!
