5 Apps I'm loving right now

Ever since I got my iPhone 4 last summer, I, like many others I know have been fully in love with all things apple ever since.

I regularly find myself asking...how did I do things before I had this phone, because in all honesty...it makes doing almost anything...simpler. And more fun.

That's where apps come in. Hands down, they just make life more fun. Here are the top 5 apps making my life more fun lately.

1. VEVO - If you are familiar with VEVO, it is probably because you access your favorite artists music videos for free on their VEVO channel on YouTube. But their app is even cooler because you have access to hundreds of artists (from top 40 to indie) videos at your fingertips

I love that the app is free and the videos are free. The video quality is always nice and the app is rarely buggy.

2. Instagram - Instagram isn't anything new, but it's so easy to use and if you are into photography or social  media...it can be completely addictive. Take photos, edit them, add cool filters and share with your social networks with just a few swipes.

Instagram is also free, which makes it extra awesome in my book. This is one of the first apps I downloaded when I got my iPhone and I literally use it everyday. I love it because it makes using FB and twitter more personal with meaningful shared photos. And honestly, some of the people on Instagram are mega talented and it is exciting to see what they'll come up with next.

 3. Pinterest - Oh Pinterest. Have a few minutes to burn, maybe 2 or 3 hours? Well, Pinterest is there to help you with just that. From Home Decor ideas and recipes to crafts and wedding planning 101...the Pinterest app has it all.

Yes, yes...I know. The app used to be really buggy, heck even the website is buggy sometimes, but since the last update I've found using the app to be relatively simple and issue free. I love this app because it was free and is great for those of us who like to plan ahead...I have a file for every holiday of the year and can't wait to get crafting!

4.  maskingtape - If you are the scrapbook loving crafty type, then you will love maskingtape. Although this app wasn't free (it cost $.99) I felt that it was worth paying for. With this app you can choose from hundreds of tape designs to use as your heart desires.

For example, if you take a lot of photos on your phone and use fun editing programs, maskingtape adds in a whole other level of fun to them. Check it out!

Seriously, I love that you can write on the tape...in different colors and fonts no less. I will use this app forever!

5. my365 - Last but not least is my365. Similar in format to Instagram it is an app for photography that allows you to take photos, edit them, add filters and share via your social networks...but with one especially awesome extra feature.


It has a calendar where you can input one picture for each calendar day (see below). For anyone who has ever struggled to get through or keep up with their #project365 photos, I think this app is the solution! It has already helped me to keep up with my 2012 photos beautifully!

Do you have a favorite app? What is it? Please share in the comments.
