Mel's Life: New Old Camera

Mel's Life: New Old Camera

Sep 3, 2015

I got a new camera in June. I have been admiring mirrorless cameras since they hit the market. I liked that they were more travel friendly than a traditional DSLR camera and still took great images. As an amature "photographer" I did not need all the bells and whistles of a pro cam but I needed a step up from a point and shoot camera. I decided on the Samsung NX300. It is one of the best mirrorless cameras out. It takes clear and crisp images as well as HD video. I also love the design of the camera itself, its a modern take on a vintage camera. The only thing I wish the NX300 had is a view finder but the moveable touch screen display isn't bad at all. If you are in the market for a new camera but do not want a DSLR I'd highly recommend this camera.

Mel's Life: Home Update

Jun 16, 2015

It has almost been a month since I moved and I am slowly getting things together. I have really been focusing on the living room because theoretically it is the space that I spend the most time in (once I kick my bed addiction). I envision myself hosting drinking  dinner parties and game nights. Honestly, this is probably just a fantasy but its a good fantasy darn it!

Anywho

 I have a confession...

I wasn't born a African princess (gasp...I know) and because of this I must scour the internet to find affordable furniture. I must say I have found some pretty amazing deals on Craigslist, Amazon, and good old IKEA.

 

 

I want to create a space that is bright, airy, and filled with greenery (yay plants!). I do not have a theme or exact concept. I do know what I want the space to feel relaxing. I want anyone who walks into the apartment to immediately feel like they've entered a stress free zone (unless they are helping put together IKEA furniture. Thanks Naddia!). 

I hope you guys enjoy my space so far. Like God...I luhhh it.

Until next update...
