Blogger Buddies Series: My Top Apps for Blogging (iPhone)

Hello everyone and welcome to another installment of my Blogger Buddies Series.

This post is going to be about my favorite apps for blogging!

So let’s get started.

First is, of course, the Blogger app for iPhone.

This app has saved me so many times because there are days when I completely forget that I have to do a blog post for the next day and I start freaking out. So when that happens I just pull out my phone and finish the post so that it can be uploaded and if I need to add pictures I can add them later. I can also view my blog through the app which makes it easy to find recent posts without having to go into my slow browser. I also do a lot of my proofreading on this app because I can do it on the go, and I am pretty much always “on the go”.

Next is the Bloglovin’ app.

Bloglovin’ in generally is a great site but the mobile app makes it so much asker to read blogs when I am not at my computer. I can also easily share the posts that I really like to my social media networks.

Next is the Glipho app

Glipho is a wonderful little tool that I started using for my blogging a few months ago. And I have really fallen in love with it because it makes blogging social. Sharing posts is so much easier on this site and it's really like a blogging social media site.

Next is Luvocracy

A lot of people don't know what Luvocracy is. I found out about it when I went to the +iFabbo Social Media Conference last year and I use it pretty much everyday now. Basically it is a site where you recommend products that you like for other people to see and buy. When I write a review on a product I recommend the product on Luvocracy and then put a link to my review in the description.

Next is Dragon Dictation

This app is so wonderful. All you have to do is talk and it will transcribe everything that you say. This makes blogging on the go so awesome because I don't even have to type!

Evernote

I use this app to brainstorm ideas for posts and write ideas down so that I don't forget them. And the best part about this app is that all of my notes are synched so I can view them on my computer and on my phone.

Hootsuite

Hootsuite is quite amazing. I can manage my social media sites from one app and it makes scheduling posts a breeze.

Side note: As a blogger if you are not scheduling your updates then you don't know what you're missing (:

Well guys that is it for this post!

What are your favorite apps for blogging? Let me know in the comments!

Be safe and I will see you in my next post!

Tag Tuesday: I'm A Beauty Blogger, Get Me Out Of Here! Part 2

Again guys, welcome to another Tag Tuesday!

Time to get started!

1) Firstly congratulations! You won last week’s bush tucker trial and your reward is a makeover from a professional make-up artist. What look would you choose and why?

I would probably go for a simple neutral look since it will probably be really hot on the island.

2) It’s time to wash – ok so it’s not in a luxury shower or a bath but you do get a choice of one soap/shower gel to use. What would you choose and why?

I would choose the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Body Wash because it could make any watering hole smell like a luxury shower!

3) Today is the arrival of a new camp mate, yay! You get to decide, it can be anyone this time. Who will you choose and why?

I would choose Channing Tatum because I'm sure I would need some protection on the island and also he would be really nice to look at shirtless (: 

4) It can get a little boring in the jungle and you’re feeling sluggish. What one fitness exercise would you do?

I would do Zumba, I'm not sure if that is considered a fitness exercise though.

5) How would you create your own jungle fashion style?

I would have to utilize vines because they would be the most versatile.

6) What is your favourite Australian product and why?

I don't think I have tried any Australian products.

7) Good news, the camp has won the treasure chest hunt! In need of something sweet, each camp mate wins their own cupcake. What would yours be?

Mine would be a lemon cupcake with chocolate frosting.

8) Challenge – bush tucker trial number 2, ‘the jungle hair & beauty salon’. You’re sitting under a vintage hair dryer and instead of hot air being blasted out you are greeted by 10,000 creepy crawlies. Which creepy crawlies would you detest the most and which ones wouldn’t you mind?

I would detest beetles and spiders the most but I would not mind worms that much.

Well guys that is it for part 2 of this tag.

What are you guys thinking about this tag so far? Let me know in the comments below!

Be safe and I'll see you in my next post!

       
 

Makeup Monday: Neutral Smokey Eye with Bold Blue Eye Liner

Happy Monday Everyone!

For this Makeup Monday I decided to go a little bolder with the look sos I am going to be utilizing electric blue eyeliner!

So let’s get started!

First I am going to take my Elf Eyelid Primer and prime my eyes.

Next I am going to take my Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo in bronze and I am going to apply that to my inner corners.

Then I am going to take my Covergirl Pigment Eye Shadow in dark brown and I am going to apply that to my outer corners and my crease.

Next I am going to take my NYX Electric Blue Liquid Eyeliner and I am going to do a thin line near my inner corners and wing it out very dramatically.

Then I am going to use my Wet N’ Wild Mega Impact Mascara and apply it generously to my top and bottom eyelashes.

And here is the completed look!
