Nokia Lumia #Icon from Verizon Wireless Review #VZWLife

Disclosure: I received a Nokia Lumia Icon at no cost for review. I am a Verizon Wireless Buzz Lifestyle Blogger. I did not receive compensation for this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have always been a tech junkie! When a new phone or gadget comes out I cannot wait to try it. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the Nokia Lumia Icon for review. The Icon is a Windows 8 phone so at first I really thought I would have some trouble with it. Little did I know I would absolutely LOVE it! I started out with an iPhone and then moved up to the Samsung Galaxy S4 so going from Apple to Android to Windows was a big step for me. 

I thought that my photos taken with the previous cameras were great, that is until I snapped my first photo with the Icon. The Icon has a full 1080p HD and 4 high performance microphones that deliver the complete video and audio recording package. 


Some of the awesome features of the Icon are:

Processor name: Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800
Maximum talk time (3G): 16.4h

With the main camera features being:

 6-lens optics, Backside-illuminated image sensor, High resolution zoom 2x, Optical image stabilization, PureView

Digital camera add-ons: Panorama lens, Bing vision, Cinemagraph lens, Creative Studio, Nokia Camera


I have been able to catch some awesome pictures over the last few weeks. Most of these were taken from my front yard with the exception of a few taken along the beautiful Natchez Trace here in Tennessee. 
















The Icon has some amazing photography apps including:

Nokia Camera 7
Creative Studio
Cinemagraph
Panorama and Nokia Storyteller

There are many other amazing apps on the Icon that I have not even had the chance to try out yet. I have been so consumed with the picture taking but just as soon as I try out more I will definitely be posting my thoughts for the world to see!

Kalorik Steam Mop Review and Giveaway Ends 1-26-13

I recently had the pleasure of working with  Kalorik  and do a review of their  Kalorik Steam Mop . This couldn't have came at a better time. I'm in the "New Year, New You" mode right now and there are lots of things I want to change. Harsh Chemical use is one of those things. The Kalorik Steam Mop works off of ordinary tap water! No detergents, soaps or chemicals needed! You can use the Kalorik Steam Mop to clean linoleum, ceramic tile, stone, marble, carpet, sealed hardwood, parquet and more! It's also very light weight and easy to use! I spoke with Kalorik via email on a Wednesday morning, and less than 48 hours my product arrived via FedEx! Two Thumbs Up! Upon arrival, it took all of 10 minutes to have it open, put together, and ready to use. It came with 2 small screws to attach the base to the actual cleaner, throw a microfiber pad on the base and we were ready to steam! I have hardwood flooring in my entire house so floor care is not something t...

Mabel's Labels Review

  Signs of April receives free products for review purposes and may sometimes be compensated for posts. Posts may also contain affiliate (marketing) links. Thank you to  Mabel's Labels  for sending out their Name Label Gift Pack for us to review.  Labeling is pretty important this day in time. Especially when you have children in school.  Being organized and having everything labeled is very important in our home and even more important for her school items.  We were able to customize our labels, as you will as well. Emma, aka The Baby Child, LOVES any and everything Unicorn so that's what we went with.  Things are often very easily picked up and never returned because something wasn't labeled with a name. She's also very notorious for leaving things at school or on the bus, so these labels will be a game changer!  The Name Label Gift Pack comes with 25 labels which is more than enough to label her school items.  We labeled her lunchbox, ben...

Never Go Down Without A Fight: One Mom's Struggle to Fight CPS

Many people don't know a whole lot about my personal life. I normally keep things quiet and just post my reviews and go on about my day. I started this blog to do coupon match ups but quickly found that I liked doing reviews and hosting the amazing giveaways. It pretty much keeps my mind occupied from the struggles I face and have faced daily the past 4 years.  Four years ago (next month) I lost custody of my then 8 year old daughter. She had gone to her Dad's for a 2 week summer visit in July of 09. I let her go a few days early simply because we weren't doing anything big here at home, however I told them that she would probably be needing a visit to the the Dr by the next morning because she had just gotten into some poison ivy and it would probably be spread by the next morning, but if they were willing to take her, then she could come early. The two weeks came and went and I didn't hear much from anyone. They had taken a trip to Panama City Beach so I didn...
