ColorSplash

Photography is one of the many loves I have. I'm no where near professional but its something I enjoy. I also can easily waste a couple of hours tweaking pictures. Hence comes this new fabulous application for my iPhone. ColorSplash can take a color image from your camera roll and desaturate the photo selectively. You can have the photo all grayscale, except for a face, or like in the picture only the umbrella to give it that amazing designer effect.

You can zoom into the photo using the usual finger controls, and paint color selectively on an image, leaving a very striking effect. You do all this with your finger on the touch screen. I've been wanting to create this effect on my pictures and am beside myself that I can do it on my iPhone now.

The possibilites are endless and so are the hours you can spend enjoying this. At $1.99, its really worth the money.

My New Favorite Website

I'm a webaddict, therefore I think I've seen it all. Seldom do I get exciting to about a new site. Well I'm excited. While reading through my Real Simple email I came Polyvore. The purpose of this site is to enable users to create virtual inspiration boards. This free web-based application is for mixing and matching images from anywhere on the web. It lets you create sets composed of individual images using a surprisingly easy-to-use drag and drop editor.

I think I'm in love, again.

Yoga anyone?

So in my quest to become fit and lose these last pounds I've been doing some Yoga stretches. If I were rich I may be able to afford my own instructor, but guess what now I can. Yoga Stretch, a yoga application for iphone is like having your own personal instructor walking you through a full session which includes audio and some really nice images.

You can customize it from 1 to 60 minutes with over 60 moves. You also have the option of the instructor giving you detailed information about your current pose.

There's are bunch of other options that I totally love.

I think I will go ahead and say that this ranks as one of my favorite apps.

New Rule!

Guilty, I watched parts of The Bachelor this season BUT only cause I thought Jason was the cutest single dad I had ever seen. Little did I know he was a sobbing flip flopper! Nothing made last nights finale more enjoyable than tweeting while watching!! My fellow tweeps were hilarious, and made a night of bad acting and drama, into a hysterical two hours!!

My new rule, only watch stupid shows while tweeting!

I heart Twitter!!

My Kind Of Juice

My iPhone is pretty perfect, as many of you know, except for one thing, its battery life stinks! Wrote to Apple a couple of times about this. The are "working on it", which means I will have to wait til the next version comes out. In the meantime I'm checking out Mophie Juice Pack. The Juice Pack is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery in the form of a non-slip, soft grip case. It extends the battery life on your phone. Standby time goes up to 250 hours, and talk time upto 8 hours.

This may be a solution but just sets you back about $100 bucks!
