7 Quick Takes Friday

I LOVE IKEA! I know people complain about putting the stuff together but we’ve never had any issues really. But my favorite part of going to Ikea is walking through the showroom and just looking at how they have the rooms set up. Well over in Australia AirBNB partnered together and you can spend a night in the beds in the showrooms!! This is so cool! I totally would do this because it looks fun! I actually listen to a social media podcast called Amplify and they highlight top marketing/social media news and I sent that article to them and they talked about it in their show this week!

Over on Google + you can use it to backup your photos and if you click this option called “Auto Awesome” it will make GIFS of your photos…….and I am now addicted to making gifs of photos…here are some of my favorites. I can post pics of my sisters wedding dress now that she’s married yay! Also I love how nonchalant/uninterested/concentrated I look in the background of that pic ha

This weeks big news is about HELLO KITTY. They say she’s not a cat and a girl who lives in London..nbd she just has cat ears and whiskers… Really?!!? Why did it take 20 years for this to be breaking news? She’s a cat..she has whiskers and pointy ears. My childhood is forever changed and scared now…okay not really but the outrage on this this week is pretty hilarious…like this is making breaking news? I guess it’s a slow news week. My friend now says she heard she looks like a cat because she lives in London. I went to London and didn’t see any cat-like people. So now our theory is Harry Potter put a spell on her…or she drank Hermonie’s potion. LOL

I went to the movies earlier in the week and saw a girl movie (found out this theatre is only $6 on Tuesdays..score..this may become a weekly treat!). I saw If I Stay. This movie wasn’t as sad as I thought it was going to be and minus the abrupt ending I thought it was really well done. I could see a lot of somewhat catholic relations in it about life and death in it which was cool. The whole time I was all how come she doesn’t have an angel?!!? I think weird things when I watch movies.

This week I did a TON of research about StumbleUpon. It’s kind of fun..especially for someone like me that is ADD. It’s like pinterest but I kind of like it better since you hit the stumble button and it brings you to a similar article that I’ll look at and say if I like it or not and then go on to another one. I’ve read of bloggers getting some posts to get a lot of traction on stumbleupon by liking their stuff and other bloggers stuff. I’ll let you know what kind of results I see in the next few months.
