For the Love of Cooking {Avocado Goodness}

If you've been around the Delightfully Chic Blog much it's no secret that I am obsessed with any carb out there and Mexican food is my go to comfort food.  Give me a dollop, excuse me, a big ole scoop of guacamole and my day has been made.  The husband and I make tacos at home at least once a week and I have fresh avocado every morning for breakfast. Seriously, the obsession is oh so real!

During some of my daily Pinterest scrolling I came across this gem of a recipe and immediately added it to my to-do list!!   I'm having some of my closest girlfriends over this weekend for a little social hour and I'm thinking I may have to give this a whirl.

I give you...

Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa Puff Pastries

Amaze Right?!

I Spy {Vine}

Surely you have heard the insane amount of buzz going around every media porthole about Vine, the new app launched by Twitter on Thursday.

Of course I joined, I am a social media addict and not ashamed  to admit.  Ok, possibly a touch shameful of the amount of time I allow it to consume each and everyday of my life but, let's be real as a blogger and online boutique owner social media is must!

Have you joined yet?  Do you like the app?
Here is my personal review and thoughts on the new app!

Pros

-Similar to instagram (which we all love and adore) but,

bonus now in 6 second video clips instead of still shots

-Super user friendly

-No editing needed

-New fresh concept and avenue to brand your business or blog

-Seeing lots of familiar faces on the app already

Cons

-Another social media site to maintain

-Porn appeared under the "editors pick" yesterday- (YUCK)

(no worries it has now been removed and hopefully blocked)

I have posted two video clips so far and I have to admit it was kinda fun and quickly addicting.

Immediately, my wheels started turning thinking what would I shoot next and how could I best incorporate Vine into the #dchic world?!

If you are giving the app a test run feel free to stop by the DC profile (just search delightfully chic) and follow along.

Looking for more delightfully chic?!

I Spy: Must Have Apps

The past couple of weeks I have been checking out lots of apps!

Here are a few of my current faves...some you may already be enjoying and maybe I'll throw a few new ones your way!

First off, the App I CANNOT live without...Shazam!

I am a music junky so when I'm out on the town or riding down the road or a catchy tune comes on tv and I'm DYING to know who is singing...SHAZAM IT!! 

Literary, like 30 seconds of listening and ta-da...I have artist and title!

My latest addiction...Deja Mi

It's the best way to capture what's going on around you...It's similar to Instagram but in "Real Time" which I LOVE not to mention the filters are fab!

So you all know I have been on a total lifestyle change/healthy eating kick!

The two best apps to keep me on track...My Net Diary, where I keep a daily log of food intake and exercise and Calorie King, which has about 90% of your big chain restaurants and breaks down the nutrition facts on your favorite dishes! 

A fun app that literally cracks me up...Draw Something!

I am in no way shape or form an artist so request to play me by all means if you are into "stick figures" and lopsided drawings!

What are your favorite apps?  

Do tell!!
