Things I learned this weekend

(in no particular order)

1. For my deeper set eyes, I should be putting a lighter (pinkish) shade of shadow up on my lid AND slightly above my crease to open my eyes more. Who knew? (Thanks awesome guy at Sephora! I love guy makeup artists. Just saying.) 

2. How to use my new iPad mini that I won! 


 (I won it at the below event for the Philbrook Museum called "The Mix" last weekend where local bartenders all compete for the best drink. It's put on by the "young masters" society of Philbrook...aka the younger peeps.) I never win anything, so I am STOKED!
Bartenders lined the perimeter of the room to serve their signature drink
 3. Winston REALLY likes the window being open and he's too cute up there to make him get down.

4. That I'm a myFitnessPal flunkie. Okay, not really. But, thanks to that little app, I've learned that I need to track my food better b/c I'm eating like a sloth. (I have no idea what sloths eat. It just sounded right. Go with it).

5. I've learned (again thanks to myFitnessPal) that I shouldn't eat whatever Eric is eating b/c he goes on 3 hour bike rides...and I jog....a little...sometimes.

(This is his "I'm about to burn more calories than myfitnesspal says you should be eating in a day" face.) 

 6. I've learned how to connect Instagram to my NEW iPhone 5 that I got after I broke my 4s (below). Seriously... did anyone else lose their MINDS trying to get the 5 to connect to your Instagram? Anyway...I considered it a victory when it started magically working....even though I have no idea how  I did it b/c my settings have been right all along. Oh well. (I got the iPhone 5 last weekend and won the iPad on the same night... technology day for the win!)


 7. Along those lines, I've learned that Apple Care is a fabulous service for those of us clumsy folks. New iPad and new iPhone= both protected. Bam. (Lest we forget the iPad I also broke last year by dropping it sans Apple Care. Blech).

8. Gracie and Winston really like walks. Okay, I already knew this...but I just wanted to post this photo anyway. :)


And that was a much better way to blog about my weekend than just saying "I ran errands and Eric and I enjoyed the gorgeous weather. :) 

Hope you had a good weekend, friends!

I miss my 4S but only because I had a way better battery life on it than I do on the 5 :)

I haven't jumped on the iPhone 5 bandwagon yet but thinking I will have to soon! My 4 is so slow but by getting the 5 means I have to give up my unlimited plan and I don't want to!
Love the dress your wearing in the "I won an iPad" picture!!

Kristin said...

What's the difference btwn apple care and the insurance. I'm thinking I need to drop the ins and go with apple care.
