Last week I got this comment on an older post asking about our photo wall.
Because I have my comments linked to my email, I was able to see her comment. But because Danielle didn't have her email linked to her blogger profile, I was not able to reply directly. I could reply to her in the comment section, but who knows if she will check back to see it, or I could try to hunt down her email.
One of the first things I do when someone asks a question in a comment, is check to see if I can reply directly to them. It's crazy that the majority of blogspot bloggers don't have this set up. Some of the best conversations start with that first comment.
If you'd like to do this, all you do is edit your blogger profile and make sure to check the box that says: Show my email address. You'll be so glad once you do this. You will be surprised by all the conversations you are missing out on.
One more techy tip on a Tuesday: Did you know that you can call someone on their landline or their cell phone using your gmail account?! How cool is that. One more reason to love Mr. Google. Here is the link with more details. Calls are free until the end of the year.
Think of all the cell phone minutes and or long distance charges you'll save!
ps. Today is the last day to enter the Modern Palm Giveaway. So far divine twine seems to be the favorite.
Right before BlogHer, I panicked. (Don't Panic!) I knew there were a couple of nights that I would need a dress to wear, and heaven forbid it be some old thing lyin' around. ;)
After looking around a bit, I found this dress at Down East. You just can't deny the price tag of $37.50. What I love most about it is the neckline. It looks as if you're wearing a necklace when you're not. There are fabric beads sewn right into the dress. I also really like the hemline too.
Thursday night, the night of Social Luxe Lounge, Marie's darling niece had on a dress that was really similar to the dress that I had just bought...same neckline and hemline. So I asked her...
"Did you get your dress at DownEast?"
She replied, "No, Anthropolgy... a year ago"
Just curious I had to ask how much she paid. She said something like $100+. Part of me loved knowing that I bought something similar for way less.
So the next night I wore my Anthro knockoff all night long from New York rooftop party to party finally ending up in a Karaoke bar with all these wild and crazies. What a fun night that was.
Since coming home from New York, I've seen this dress on a few others. I realize that while I got the reward of a great deal, it came with the risk of looking like a twin.
So my question is: Would you rather pay the big bucks and feel like you have more of a one of a kind, or get a great deal and take the risk of seeing your same dress everywhere.
Deep thoughts on a Monday...
Song Of The Week: Somebody To Love - Justin Bieber ft. Usher
Okay, I'll admit it...I love the Biebs! I can't help it. It all started with Eenie Meenie with that one line:
" Let me show you what your missin' ...Paradise."(funny)
What is it about summer that makes me crave the pop music?! Are you the same way?
If you'd like to win this no biggie mix, leave a comment on this post, and I'll send one off to one lucky winner (the winner will be announced on this post on Friday).
It's no secret that I love the iPhone. With so many apps available, it's hard to find the best. I usually find my favorites from recommendations from friends and family. Here are a few that I'm loving right now:
Old Booth - it's kinda like that yearbook yourself, only portable.
Yes...that is me looking very Carol Brady-ish. We were laughing so hard Sunday Night at all the funny photos.
