New Emoji Coming!

If ever there was a reason to upgrade your iPhone to the newest iOS, it surely is the launch of new emoji to use in our everyday texting. I have my favorite emoji to use. The always make the conversation fun, even when you’re pissed. There are so many good ones! You’ve got your basic set of emoji like hearts ❤️💛💚💙💜 and faces 😀😃😄🤣😍😛😒😎😜🤢🤡🤠 to name a few. I use all of them in the course of everyday conversations.

There are times, though, when you can’t find the one you REALLY want, so you have to improvise or combine emoji to bring it on home. So I love it when new emoji launch to make texting even better! Apple just announced that the newest iOS update to iOS 11 will be coming out soon and it will have a bunch of new emoji. Here are a few of my favorites!

I personally can’t wait for the wizards, vampires, and fairies. I also am excited about the dumpling and other food ones. I’m also very interested in the fact that all the new ones come in different sexes (including gender neutral) and skin colors. They’ve really done a great job of being inclusive. Check out the merman/merwoman and all these fun ones below:

And there’s the Stephen Colbert emoji. LOL

So be on the lookout and upgrade when you see them announced so that you van enjoy all the new goodies and you won’t get the black square in your texts because your device can’t see them.See ya round!

Bookshelves on your desktop…it’s sexy!

I love cool apps for my Mac.  I found this one today on my favorite website and thought I’d pass it along because it’s only $5 and it’s called Desktop Shelves.

Desktop Shelves is normally a $15 app so this is a really good deal.  The app takes all your documents, pictures, or whatever you’d like and lets you drag and drop them on a “shelf” that is on your desktop.  This is no mere wallpaper and you shuffle everything over it and pretend there’s a shelf.  No, no, no.  This is an actual shelf, equipped with cover-flow style browsing and sorting.  Previews of documents and pictures and all.  So I love it.  I think you will, too.  Check it out by following the link below if you think you’re interested.  You can also watch this quick video to see how simple it is to use.  I don’t get paid anything if you buy it.  But I do get brownie points so go check it out!

You can follow this link to take you to get the app…but you better hurry because I think today is the last day to get it.  It said the offer expires in 11 hours when I got mine.  And let me know if you like it or get it!  I’d like to know if you like my recommendations here.
