After the fire, I started having some trouble with my cell phone and since I needed to replace my phone I decided to go ahead and splurge on an iPhone. Not the fancy new one, but the older model. I just needed something functional and I’ll admit I was kind of looking forward to having a nicer phone that might simplify my life. And it sure has!

It’s made it easier for me to stay on top of emails, what’s going with the Facebook page and staying in touch with my awesome clients. But it’s also added some fun perks to my life too! So I thought I’d share some of my favorite apps with you! Perhaps some of these are favorite apps of yours too or maybe they’re new ones I’m introducing you to! Either way I hope you find this a fun little peek into some things I’m loving! 🙂

• Instagram
Instagram was one of the first apps I knew I wanted to get for my new phone. Several of my other photographer friends had this app already so I knew I wanted to tinker with this fun photo app. It’s really neat. You can take pictures, add a retouch to them, and then share them through the app. It’s really quick, clean, and easy. And it’s even super simple to share the pictures with my friends on Facebook and twitter.

• C25K Free
I just recently got this app since my friend Amber and I decided to start getting in shape again. We agreed to do the Couch to 5K together. So when I found this handy little app that tells me when to run, walk, warm up and cool down – I was pretty excited. It simplifies my workout so I’m not having to think to hard about the numbers…. which I love!

• My Fitness Pal
Fitness Pal was another app I knew I wanted to get for my phone before I had a fancy phone. This app makes tracking calories, exercise, etc incredibly easy! I love that I can even plug in my own recipes to figure out how many calories I’m consuming in a meal. I can save recipes, exercises, and foods to my app too so it’s easy for me to find them later. I’m hoping between this app and the C25K app I’ll be getting my booty back in shape. 😉

• Pinterest
As I’m sure you already know – I’m a HUGE Pinterest addict. So the fact that there’s an app for Pinterest only makes me that much more giddy. I still prefer the website version over the app, but I do love being able to scan through it on my phone when I’m waiting at the doctor’s office or something. I always find cool things on there.

• Scramble with Friends
I only recently downloaded this app too, but I’m addicted! I’ve played Words with Friends, but it didn’t hook me like this game did. I love that each game is only 2 minutes long. It’s more a game of speed and word searching where word of friends requires a bit of analytics…. and when I need a break from work I don’t usually want to have to think. It’s a perfect little break from work. So I LOVE this game! 🙂

So there you have it – some of my favorite phone apps. Hopefully you found this little bit of app love to be fun! I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday and that you get to do something SUPER fun this weekend! See you back here on Monday! 🙂
