Click Chicks: Week 4!


The challenge this week was water!  I really liked this one.  I went out to the courtyard in my apartment complex to snap some shots of the fountain and played around with the ISO:

Dying of laughter over these pics that they post on the Parks & Rec Tumblr page. And these are just the most recent.

Click Chicks: Week 3


The challenge this week was nature!  I took my camera out to Davis to the marsh and have my three favorite photos to share:


If you look close enough you can see Sacramento in the distance in the middle picture.  I love the top picture.  I really like pictures where the background is out of focus.   We have a challenge coming up in a few weeks which will allow me to practice that skill :)  Stay tuned!

Feb Birch


Linking up with these lovely girls to show what I am getting in my Birchbox this month! I actually haven't received it yet due to the storm on the east coast earlier in the month. So I cheated and here's what's coming!
Excited because I've gotten twistband hair ties & color club polish before and loved them both! I have high expectations for the headbands and can't wait to see what color nail polish I get. I could do without the chocolate, but oh my gosh there is no nail polish YAY. Not thrilled about the body gel since I am addicted to Lush bath products haha. And I always love trying new face products. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty good month!
Have you used any of these products before?

Click Chicks: Week 2!


Click Chicks is a weekly linkup where each week we have a different challenge to photograph and share!  

The theme this week is hearts!  (oh, and happy V-Day)


I tried really hard to focus on my hands, but with the timer on and the self-focus it was more difficult than I imagined.

Lent

Lent begins today and this year I am giving up online shopping.  This should save me not only money, but lots of time spent browsing on Amazon, Kate Spade, Target, Birchbox, Shoedazzle, Groupon...etc. I feel like it is going to be difficult, but that's kind of the point!  My credit card will be happy until Easter!

Click Chicks: Week 1!


Click Chicks is a weekly photo challenge linkup where we can all share our pictures and hopefully learn some new skills! Week one is a self portrait... which I felt I couldn't do without a mirror shot.




I got this camera a couple years ago and I absolutely love it! I definitely don't use it as much as I'd like to, so I'm really excited about this weekly challenge.

Parks & Rec



Super Bowl

Even though the 49ers lost, we still enjoyed the game, the commercials and the food! That Amy Poehler ad for Best Buy was great!! And I love Paul Rudd, so the Samsung people get points for that. Still hate GoDaddy and not sure how they afford so many ads on game day! What were your favorites?
