My Favorites Today

An awesome recipe:
Macaroni Salad for those of you who likes cold pastas (which apparently doesn't include the boys in my husbands family. Woops! At least all the parents loved it.).  It's so easy to make. And as a tip, you don't need the half cup white sugar.

Two great TV shows:
Downton Abbey: A very well done tv show about the Crawley family and their staff. A few scenes are very emotional, upsetting, and/or a bit disturbing, but the rest of the show makes up for it. I highly recommend it to those who like period pieces. You can view it on Netflix.
Harpers Island: A great show for those who like scary mysteries. If you like movies such as I Know What You Did Last Summer, where people get killed off, you will love this show. It was a one season show due to the topic so it's not one in which you have to wait for the next season to come out, as is the case with Downton Abbey.

New favorite clothing brand:
I haven't worn the clothes I bought from them yet, but Lands' End Canvas has already impressed me.  They sent me a handwritten thank you note for purchasing from their brand. Again, it was handwritten, not a generic note that was printed on a card. Thats impressive. That is a good marketing strategy.

FRIDAY...FRIDAY...

So much better than the actual music video.

Favorite App Right Now

If you have an Android phone (probably has an Iphone version too), download Photoshop Express. It is a free app that allows you to do basic edits on any pictures you have on your phone.

I have been taking a lot of pictures with my phone lately but the colors haven't been turning out as vibrant as I would like. The app fixed that problem. With the app, I was able to enhance and edit the photos I took without having to use the Photoshop program on my computer.

It's so easy to get and so easy to use. What's not to like about that?
