S*** ____ say

With all the craze of the "S***_____ say" (some favorites include Asian Dads, Girls on their Period, Medical students NEVER say), here is cute video  relevant to Instagrammers along the same lines!

My favorite run

It has been an unseasonably warm winter in NYC and even though the leaves haven't come out yet, its been nice and dry enough to go on my favorite run around Central Park (Northern Bridle path-->Bridle path-->Central Park Reservoir=1.6miles. Well... had to stop and snap a quick pic on the iPhone, too.

The craze about Beauty Boxes

UPDATE: Birchbox just started accepting orders for their subscriptions. Go here to sign up!

My friend told me about  these amazing little delights that are all the craze in the UK which are slowly making their way to the US. And, being the Sephora junkie that I am, I couldn't help but investigate further. These packages called "beauty boxes" arrives  to your mailbox as per a monthly subscription as low as $10. It's packed with several deluxe -size samples of beauty products of brands that you may or may not have heard of. There are a myriad in UK and France, including... Carmine, Feelunique.com, Jolie Box, and Bourdoir Prive which gives subscribers a chance to try a wide range of beauty products such as hair products, skin care, cosmetics, even men's lines!

Good news for those with a five-digit zip code, Birchbox and Glossybox will be starting to ship to US customers soon and they are taking down names!

Monday mornings

Nothing like sitting at work on a Monday morning looking at my Fancy updates. Here's what I'm looking at now:

 Love these rings as unisex... and a great present for a loved one for this upcoming V-day. :)

Food-shooting tips

Some super helpful tips for how to take pictures of food with your iPhone. Maybe I'll give this a shot....

#Strangetrees

One of the ways that an avid iPhoneography can get their work out there (in a fun way) is through Instagram's Weekend hashtag project. Every Friday, Instagram challenges their users to a weekend homework assignment, taking inspiration from subject matters as quirky  #soloparking or rote as #reflective. All you have to do is snap a picture based on your interpretation of the assignment and caption the photo with the hashtag subject line. Then, ten photos are selected on Monday morning to be featured on the website. Last weekend's challenge was called #strangetrees and it really just fell into my lap, having encountered a very strange-looking piece of art just the day before!

This was just about the most beautiful metal peace tree I've ever seen (reminds me of a necklace that I own) and I couldn't resist snapping a few shots. (Instagram'd this photo)

From the branches viewpoint.

Though I submitted my strange tree but didn't end up getting featured on the site, here are some of my favorites out of the "chosen".
