New Fash: Canon Speedlite 430EXII

I was sick of waiting for my off-brand camera flash to finish charge in-between photos. The flash we were using was cheap, but my husband argued that all flashes were relatively the same. He’s a film guy and never had much use for strobe lighting. Of course, I was right!. My husband did the leg work on researching the best price and quality flashes. We shoot on a Canon, so we wanted a good flash that would communicate with my camera. He started looking at the big brother of the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, the Canon 580EXII, but felt that it was more money than we were willing to spend. We decided to step down to the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, feeling comfortable with both the price and all the positive reviews.

Salon Verde is a green salon located in Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. The Salon uses all Davines products! I adore the smell and feel of my hair after using Davines products.

T-Shirt Teespring Crowdfunding

T-Shirt Teespring Crowdfunding

April Golightly aims to provide unbiased editorials. However, I wish to disclose that from time to time I receive free products or other compensation from companies for blogger reviews.

Teespring is a t-shirt crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel. It is a pretty cools concept. Anyone can come and design a shirt which they can then sell via Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else online. The seller keeps all of the profit the shirt earns. People use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money. Turn your t-shirt concept into reality with no upfront costs. Once you finish your design, your buyers fund the creation of your t-shirts by promising to buy them if you meet your goal. If you do not meet your goal within the time period you specified, then the buys will not be billed. The shirts don’t print and ship until a set end date determined by the seller. This means they pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don’t have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.
