{Pin of the Day}: POTD

Last Pin of 2012 - I wish I had started doing these sooner! Then I can look back at the end of next year and compare. Oh well. Without any further blather from me:

How to Get Your Amazon Kindle Fire Battery to last...

...more than 8.5 hours (their listed battery time with continuous use). Simple. Leave it on the lowest Brightness setting and only turn it up when you need it. I use it at night and just when I don't want to be blinded by my screen, so it's not a big deal for me. I will brighten it for Youtube or the various games I have installed.

Using this tip, I managed to get my Fire to last two weeks - by accident, I couldn't find it!! It helps to be able to just grab it and go without having to remember to charge except every couple of days.

I have included two pins to make up for yesterday. My apologies!!









































PS: I FINALLY noticed the obviously placed "Embed" option and I have updated the previous posts.

{Pin of the Day}: POTD

Today's POTD is something I found and used yesterday and i love it!! I made one for my phone yesterday, and I am putting the finishing touches on my mom's right now. I have copied my comment I made on the blog post below the link.


"I had this issue as well. I ended up having to make a fake signature by hitting the space bar a couple of times and "signing" with that. But then I couldn't find a program similar to Preview as I am using Windows 7...So I ended up doing a "print screen" and pasting it into my paint program and saving it. I then emailed it to myself and set the attachment as my wallpaper. Hope that helps!!"

TIP: ALSO, if you use  a paint program (Paint. Net  is my favorite free paint program!!), you can actually change the background color inside the monogram. I haven't tried to change the main color, but I needed a green and purple one since my mom is a Scentsy consultant and she loves to have those colors!

{Pin of the Day}: POTD

Hello, readers! I am going to start something else on my blog called Pin of the Day! Hopefully (as with every other failed attempt) this will help me remember to make a post everyday or so. For the first pin, I have chosen one of my favorites:


This is super cute! If you want to see ALL of my pins, feel free to follow me on Pinterest. I pin alot of recipes, fashion/beauty stuff, and just neat crafty things. Anything that can't be pinned, I save to my computer so I won't forget!

OlgaKay on Youtube...

I am obsessed with her now. I love her beauty videos, and she has me wanting to run to a beauty store soon. I went through all of my products while watching her Pajama Party videos, just to see, and there are a few things I need to buy or that I just haven't used/forgot I had! I posted a link to a Pajama Party video below - check it out and hope you like it!
