101 reasons why i love my iphone!

so remember how i was trying to get a rockin mother's day present?

i wanted a bike.

and i got an iphone

(i wanted an iphone long before mother's day but my husband told me no way

cause

a. i hate phones. i never answer them.

b. i don't really leave the house....so it's kinda dumb for me to have a smartphone when my laptop is always about 5 feet away.

but he got me one anyway (guilt is awesome)

and let's talk.

i love my iphone.

i am in no way getting paid for this.

but i love my iphone.

it's life changing.

seriously.

IT'S AMAZING.

If i forget it at home...i literally feel like i have cut off my left hand!

sounds dramatic.

it's still true.

first up...Instagram.

i love it. (hopefully you won't get sick of hearing the word love. it will be said a lot in this post)

it makes any picture look good....

see..look

medicore picture...

made awesome by instagram!

you can have it post to facebook or twitter and it's really fun to see the behind the scenes stuff from my favorite bloggers!

I use it with picstitch and instaframe ...so i can make collages (and doodle on the pictures and add stickers!)

(you can follow me..i'm kimbowest.)

second. siri.

she calls me hot mama.

she is literally in like 3rd place to being my bff.

she fantastic. i don't text and drive cause i'll die. i'll die...i'll really really die.

(the middle? anyone see that episode)

but with a click of the button..siri answers-- i tell her,

siri, send a text to my husband telling him "you suck"

and she does.

(my son keeps asking her where he can buy certain things like she's a magic lamp that will automatically make a joker cave appear)

I also have her make reminders for me as i think of them. like remind me tomorrow to shower...and buy bread.

third: the things that help me as a blogger.

there are so many apps that makes my life easier as a blogger.

TWITTER

FACEBOOK

ETSY

PAYPAL

GMAIL

there is even a pinterest one

all this stuff makes my life run smoother.

Instead of sitting down at my computer to check my email and getting stuck for an hour. i can hurry and check it on my phone and be done.

i can tweet...and facebook

and i sell stuff on etsy...so i love that i'm notified immeditaly and i can go check my paypal balance.

it all just makes the whole operation of agaagg run smoother and efficient!

and now i feel like i have to edit myself from giving you a literal play by play of my life on facebook!

4th

there is no fourth.

5th

the games.

oh the games.

 I have never wasted so much time in my entire life.

here's my top ones:

draw something free.

i'm currently playing with my sister..her kid...my husband..and my neice, my nephew and my dad.

you draw pictures...they have to guess it...then they draw one for you.

it's crazy addicting.

(is it weird that i want to buy an ipad so i can draw all awesome like these people...

source

i also love bubble buster

and by love i mean hate cause i waste the most time with this one..

and family fued.

and i totally want wheel of fortune as it's my favorite gameshow ever..

but it cost $5.

 logo quiz

words with friends.

scramble with friends

Blox.

flow..

i can keep going...

and the ones my kids love:

angry birds

 bike race

the donut making game...

fruit ninja

cut the rope

talking tom (this one is super funny!)

where's my water?

my daughter loves the piano one....

and we can watch full episodes of disney shows.

picture this:

you are a doctor's appointment.

and instead of bringing a bag full of toys and crap to entertain your kids..

you just put on good luck charlie and don't hear a peep for 20 min.

it's like a babysitter.

and  i will give this one a new number

 6:

camwow.

call me 12. (i've been called worse.) but i think this is so funny! i have about 400 pictures of myself....

which brings me to number okay..i have no idea.

NEXT:

the camera

it's awesome.

and clear.

and i can put my pictures in folders so they are all organized.

and next number 2:

OTHER APPS

apps (so games are apps too...but they are just for fun..)

the apps i USE the most are:

My bank. i can get in and check my balance whereever and whenever.

Redbox. instead of driving to three redboxes looking for journey 2..i can just hop on my phone and find one

Fandango.

love that i can find what movies and times right when i think about it.

JOANNS

coupons!oh the coupons! this one is free...but i would have paid 20 bucks for it (no i wouldn't cause i'm cheap)

but you can save it in your "wallet" i just went and bought 6 things of elastic and got at least 40% off each one!

IMBd.

i'm a huge movie nerd..and nothing drives me more nuts than watching a movie and not knowing what movie i have seen the actress in. i can just go type in the movie/ actor and it comes up with all the info.

(like the hot guy on this means war is also the ripped brother in warrior and will be playing bane in the new batman!?)

Flashlight.

i always am the last one to turn off the lights..so i hit the switch and i can find my way to my bed without tripping over my husband's 24 pairs of shoes that he refuses to put away.

Price scanner.

we used my husbands when we were computer shopping...it tells you what store has the best deal...

plus it's just fun....

do you like to pretend shop for houses (i just like to see the pictures of the way people decorate) so i have the remax  app so i can literally snoop into people's houses...

oh..and the scriptures!

I'm lds...and they have made all the manuals and scriptures into apps!

love it! if i'm in charge of sharing time i can just pull up all the info right there!

Other crap the iphone does:

love that i know what the weather is going to be like with just a click

and the music is super awesome to have.

(i don't have to borrow my daughters mp3 to go the gym anymore

and just when i was getting to know all the justin beiber songs by heart)

driving instructions...we used this last time we were in salt lake to find us an in and out burger!

netflix...enough said

 ebay

craigslist

not that i need this..but it also has that app that you speak into and it will tell it back to you in the language of your choosing. so next time i take a trip to france i will be sure to report back how well it worked!

and dude. basically..if it's a thing that people use..there is an app for that.

and in reality..i feel like it's an idiot proof phone.

the girl gave me a 5 minute crash course on moving the apps and making sure to close them out and siri...and i was off and running. not really a learning curve at all!

and the app store organizes the apps into the most popular free ones..so far i haven't bought one yet

and i get to use as a motivater to get my kids to get their chores done! !

and they have so many cute cases that i want to buy!

here's the ones that it was narrowed down too...

i ended up with the black and white polka dotted...

(and the reason i got it is cause my husband told me, "are you still in high school" all snarky like. so i said "like totally." and did a hair toss and a gum smack and grabbed the polka dotted one.

now...aren't you glad that i didn't really do 101 things?

BUT i will tell you one thing i HATE:

it autocorrects everything i type and captalizes all my words.

annoying.

i don't want  people to think i'm all proper..

if you have an iphone...go HERE...there are 40 tips and tricks that your iphone does that most people don't know!

and there is one for kids from the poop whisperer...

and a countdown for diy crafters

oh..and if i have omitted to mention one of your fav aps...please leave me a comment...

cause you know...i want to be on your bandwagon.
