I havent posted in eleventy billion years!/Random Review

Weather in Minnesota: Current: 28, foggy. Forecasted: 34, snow showers
Weather at home: Current 38, sunny (it's also 6:45 am there). Forecasted: 63, Mostly sunny.



I have missed my favorite blogs so...


Now that I am up to date on Tough Crowd, MODG, Made You Blush, (flash) pasteurized, and blicious, etc. (just go see my sidebar, they're all good reads, so go...read them.)


Basically, I went back to school {eeeeee!!] on the 11th, and it is amazing how much I feel at home when I am at school. I love it so much, even though I am taking Chemistry. FML. But that's okay. Im at school...I don't even care what it's for.
I was so excited that on the day before school started I was walking around the house with my backpack on. Haha, Yes I know that might qualify me as a loser, but nonetheless.




{My pack-pack -as my little sis used to call it}

{Its so cool, that I had to take picture of it with my phone because I couldn't find one online!}

But anyway, I am taking Chem and Sociology. This summer I am trying to take one more science class, then I get to apply for my major. I'm so excited, but have so much anxiety about not getting in!

Anywho, as much as I love/miss blogging I have no time anymore! I want to do it as much as I can to gain followers and become a follower and have a place for an outlet, but 2 jobs, school, studying for school, and 2 kids leave me little time.

I hope everyone is doing well!!
Love!

PS - Short random review, because I am so excited. I love having curly hair...but my hair has always been such a bitch to curl. BUT I found a product that actually helps my curls form and stay in, and it smells good!








Its Kenra Thermal Styling spray. I love it. It works for me and my stubborn hair! (Stubborn to stay curled at least!) It's also a thermal protectant, so it's good for straightening your hair too! I got it at Ulta. :)

B's Random Review

Okay, so I have decided to randomly tell you guys when I find a product that I love. I actually have a lot on the list, so I will have to figure out some sort of pattern of how/when to put them up so that I don't run out of things too quickly. Haha.




SO obvs my first post was about that Burt's Bee's tinted chapstick that i LOOOVE.




Next in line, the Motorola version of the Droid.


Let me start by saying that this will be the Valley Girl version of a review, I don't claim to be a electronics nerd, I'll leave that technical stuff to CNet, thanks.


so THE DROID!











(Cnet.com)



Okay, so I know it isn't much to look at, which is why I opted for the Blackberry Tour at first. After I heard of all its capabilities, I took the plunge and traded it in for the Droid. The good news is, you can make it decently cute by putting on a snap-on case; mine looks more like this now:




It is much more bearable to look at with the cute pink case on it :)






Okay so my instant thoughts were: this is SO similar to the iPhone, but is better because of the full keyboard. It also seems to have a lot of similar apps available as the iPhone. (Including Yelp, the Level, YouTube, Shazam, Twitter applications, various bar code scanners, email, etc.)

The touch screen is actually SUPER-nicely calibrated, and makes it easy to type on the touch screen, which was my biggest concern coming to this phone from the Blackberry.

My favorite apps on MY Droid are:
*Voice Guided turn-by-turn navigation, no additional cost.
*Movie soundboard of The Hangover
*Bar Code Scanner
*Yelp
*Flixter Movies app (shows closest theaters, the times listed under the movies and a direct link to the movie trailer which plays immediately and in nice quality considering it's a phone)
*A ringtone maker where you can upload songs onto your phone, and make ringtones out of them using this app (on your phone...not the computer)
*TFLN (Texts from last night)
*FMylife
*Random Chuck Norris facts
**The apps listed above that the iPhone also has are all amazing too!**

Its has all the normal things a phone these days does; Camera, Video Camera, Internet (I love the internet on this phone)

So all in all, I DO miss my blackberry for the BBM, but the Droid is a pretty good pick I say. No problems with it yet...so I recommend it if you're thinking about buying it!!

LOVE!
