I’ve been asked multiple times to give my opinion of the iPad and whether I think it is a good idea for a business tool! For those of you who know me, you know I’m all about Apple. Of course I am only biased because the products that I use by Apple tend to blow me away. It’s not that I’m an easy sale, it’s just that Apple seems to meet my needs, over and over again. And the iPad certainly didn’t fall short. I say every day how the iPad was MADE for me! Or a person like me. That is someone who runs their own business, has an unbelievable amount of hobbies, half of...

So I have had my iPad since April 30 and loving every minute of it. Recently I decided to add a LOT of pictures. Ok, maybe not a lot considering I have 57gb available but I added around 250 photos. Well.. to my disappointment, suddenly when I would scroll to the bottom of my photos my ipad would crash. And I’m not talking about the app crashing, I’m talking about the ipad completely shutting down. It would go to a black screen and the apple symbol appears again and it restarts. So I freaked out… I mean I paid a LOT of money for this thing and being an artist, one of the major things...

Well here goes. My friends are sick of hearing my doting over my new iPad but after having it a few weeks I must write my review. For starters, it’s awesome except for the stupid wallpaper that makes you think your iPad is scratched! I almost returned it but googled it and found it was the wallpaper. Everything else is a dream. I took it to Bestbuy and bought an “incase” soft case to keep it protected since it was an $890 investment I figured the $40 case was worth it. They were all sold out except for pink so it had to do! Also aps made for iPhone are small and can be resized to...

So I’ve been sticking to my program and I feel really good so far about my progress. I had a 30 day update with my physical trainer and he took my measurements and unbelievably, I’ve lost 3 pounds of fat and gained 2 pounds of muscle! I really exceeded my goal. I understand that it takes 6 weeks to gain a pound of muscle so the measurements confused me. I did some research and found that if you are a “beginner” weight trainer, it’s possible to gain muscle faster and to gain it while you lose fat. Apparently it’s a beginners luck thing! Perhaps it has been my...

So I’ve been doing a lot of research to make sure that I’m exercising properly and eating right in order to put on muscle and lose fat. I found a great post called 5 Tips for Women to Build Muscle. The article is great and was just what I needed. I’ve decided to start increasing my karate training to 4 nights a week. So far I’ve only been able to do the Body Pump class at Gold’s Gym 2 days a week. I have been so sore that I couldn’t make it the 3rd day. This week I am not as sore as last so I think I will try to go to the class on Thursday and Saturday as well....
