Insta Effect


For my next entry I wanted to do something fun. In doing so, I pondered what app I have really been enjoying this week. To be honest, I have been on and Instagram binge and the selfies are beyond belief. Anyways, discussing Instagram would have been boring and repetitive because it is something the majority of people know. Therefore, I searched for apps that would assist a user in more ways than one on Instagram and I found, Insta Effect! When the app starts up you are brought to a section called InstaCollage, here you pick one of the following layouts.


When you choose a layout, click on one of the sections and you can take a photo or pull from your camera roll.


After choosing the photos, (mine of of my adorable nephew, Aaron) you can edit individually!


Also, if a picture just does not fit right, you can rotate it to make it fit!



Once you have finished editing, you pick out a frame.



You can make the frame as thick as you want by moving the scroll.



Changing the frame color is another option.


Moving onto effect, you click each photo individually and change the effect. The options are similar to the Instagram with a few other selections.


Then you can add text but for my purposes I choose not to.


Stick allows you to add items into the pictures like smileys or holiday effects. You have the option to enlarge the items however big you wish.


From here you share the picture to whatever outlet you wish whether it be Instagram or just you camera roll.


I absolutely love this app! It definitely takes a bit of time to get it down but in the end it is worth it! It provides many more options compared to Instagram!

Nutrition Tips


As I patiently waited for a washing machine to become free I decided to start my search for an app to discuss. After our discussion in class today about health care and the future of it potentially being online, I decided to find a nutrition app. What I found was exactly that, Nutrition Trip! When you open the app it takes you to a nutrition tip right away.


It is an interesting one because usually when I cook, I defrost food at room temperature. My bad. From here, you can scroll though additional tips and quite frankly, they are endless!Sugar free is almost a given and something I would hope others would know to follow.



Hot spices speed your metabolism is perfect because I LOVE spicy things!



The garlic tip is interesting because it is not exactly a nutrition tip, more so a fact.


You can add a tip to you favorites.


By clocking fav, it takes you to your favorites which you can scroll through.Then more brings you to a list where you can do a variety of things with the nutrition tips from emailing them to texting!


This app is definitely interesting and informative. It would help a person who is into nutrition or would like to get into it. The app is very simple which makes it easy to use. I highly recommend downloading it and giving Nutrition Tips a shot!
