Wifi Light Bulb Lights me up!!

Lights in the beauty world are essential when it comes to makeup application, and youtube video quality! So when I came across a light bulb I could power up with my phone, I was all in, and couldn't wait to get it home!!!

Currently being housed in what is by far my most favorite feature of my room, a plastic star lamp, I have officially been obsessed with playing around with its capabilities. I have it set up where it automatically turns itself on at 6:30am when it's time to wake up the kiddos for school, and I love that I can have it on when I arrive home after a long day and it's dark out. My boys thoroughly enjoy watching it change colors when we're having a mini dance party before bed.

Something I am super excited to do is once I get my room nicely set up again for youtube videos, this light will be the main source to obtain a better quality video!! Nothing is more crucial to the survival of a Youtube channel than poor lighting situations. I love my natural lights don't get me wrong, but being able to record at a later time when the sun has gone down for the day is a huge plus and opens up the possibilities for other types of videos to be shot at night.

Honestly, nothing makes this geeky tech girl giddier than new gadgets to play with. Lights and fun decor make me happier to be around knowing that my surroundings match my personality. I'm currently working on a small DIY project with 30ft fairy lights that are also remote controlled, and it's making me super anxious and excited at the time. So that's something to look forward to in the later days ahead.

Loving my light bulb when it wakes me up in such a way where it's natural!! My boys... Not so much! Lol! But oh well... Time to get up is time to get up!!

Have fun with Virtual Reality Glasses

When I was a kid I remember our ways of having fun meant we actually had to go outside and do something. Our generation was the last of us who actually interacted with each other face to face, before all of this technology, and artificial virtual realities. As much as I wish my kids could grow up in the same way I did, I would be doing them a disservice. Technology though complicated is actually a great thing for little ones to experience early. Now I'm not saying that you have to go out and buy the latest gadgets on the market, by no means is that what I am talking about. But exposing your kids to at least new technology while they are still young is the perfect bonding tools for not only them between their friends, but you as an adult and learning the latest things alongside your kids. Lord knows how many times I had to teach my mom something new whenever she got a new phone.

I can actually say teaching my mom how to text was the funniest thing in my life, next to explaining to my dad what a selfie was and how to take a good one. Now you look at them and I feel proud they were willing to learning those new things with us. Although, I must admit I sometimes regret teaching my mom how to text because of how long her messages can get, especially if she's mad about something. 

Now, I know there are still a lot of parents out there that have no clue what to do with their kids and technology, but honestly all I have to say is embrace it now and grow with them rather than having to feel like a total noob when something even newer and complicated arises and our learning capabilities are smaller. 

I finally recently caved and got my boys a VR Headset to play around with. I've been watching youtube videos pop up with virtual reality mode. So this intrigued me! My boys are already well versed when it comes to youtube and who are creating their favorite content. I had to do some research of my own, and have yet to really find "good" content for VR. With recent activity on the platform, it terrifies me to no end of what they could potentially end up watching, but there are many content creators that are creating really awesome videos for the easily impressionable.

When I gave my boys the surprise of the headset, their reactions were priceless, to say the least. So I decided to try and record a little clip of their experience with the VR. The results were hilarious, and such precious moments were shared. 


So my last thoughts for you and your families. Embrace new technology and experience them with your kids, because later on in life your kids will have either grown to have to learn and experience a lot of potentially harmful things before you could even try and correct the situation.

Getting Ready for Mani-Pedi Season

As the seasons start to change and the weather starts to get warmer, it calls for much more groomed hands and feet. Our hands take a beating during the winter, I hope everyone's lotioning up their pretty hands during the colder months to prevent Spring "deep" cleansing and nurturing. Let's not forget our feet are covered up for just about 3 months and haven't been getting the love and attention they require to look good for open toe shoe season or dare I say sexy pumps (Because I'm not wearing anything that bears my poor ashy feet!! I'd be lying if I say I'm the epitome of pedicure perfection, but alas, my feet get neglected every time. Boot season is my favorite season of all, and it's sad to say I do kind of miss the sight of my feet nice and soft looking, and not dehydrated from the cold frigid weather outdoors. The rest of the year I'm in sandals and my Nikes.

So this year I'll be prepping my hands and feet way ahead of time so I don't look like a fool wearing shoes that show off the bad side winter skin.
