Friends & Apps

Last week I got to spend time with my friends Amanda & Lauren in Myrtle Beach.  We had a great time together as always.  We got to catch up, relax on the beach, shop, and read for fun!

While we were down there, we talked about apps for our phones.  One app you definitely need to get is Viggle!

You "check in" to TV shows and get points for watching.  With certain amounts of points, you can get rewards.  The rewards are mostly gift cards to places like Best Buy, Lowes, Chilis, Banana Republic, etc.  Basically - you get rewarded for watching TV!  I don't really watch that much TV (just Grey's Anatomy usually), but if it's going to be on... I am going to take advantage of it!

Another must-have app is Bump.  It allows you to transfer contacts, messages, and pictures from your phone to someone else's phone, tablet, or computer.

The picture of the 3 of us at the top was taken on Amanda's phone and then immediately bumped to mine so that I would have it too.  No need for texting or emailing, just bump away.  The "bump" is fun to do too!  It's awesome!  I can bump my laptop to upload all of my pics from my phone in one quick motion.

ShopListFree is another one of my favorites.  The list above is a pic from Google, but we use this as our grocery list.  I like being able to go to the grocery store with my keys, wallet, and phone and NOT a paper list and pen.  :)

Lastly, you have to get Mint.com.  Seriously.  Right now, go set up your mint.com account.  You can create a budget and it will alert you when you go over budget or a bill is coming up.  It shows how much you spend a month on gas or fast food or whatever category you are curious about.  My sister-in-law, Candice told us about this a while back and it is the best thing since slicd bread (or whatever they say).  The website is fantastic and the app is just an added benefit.

 I'm also addicted to Draw Something.

What are your favorite apps?
