6 Useful Photo Editing Apps For Social Media

This is by no means a comprehensive list. In fact, if you know of an awesome app, please leave me a comment below.

But since I am a blogger, and I am very active on social media, I do use several apps to help me edit and create pictures. And even if you aren't a blogger or a social media fanatic, these apps (in my opinion) are still great for personal use to create great photos.

So let's get started....


Canva is an app that I just started learning to use. What I like about this app is the variety of layouts. I've found out recently that different social media platforms work better with different size images and layouts. Canva does the work for you. You can choose from blog graphic, twitter graphic, pinterest, instagram and the list goes on and on. In fact, the image above was created with Canva.

Snapseed is my go-to app for blurring the background of images. If I take a pic in a crowded area, I often use Snapseed to try to blur the images of people that I don't know. But it does much much more than that. There are several filters along with the ability to add text. Actually, I haven't even learned how to use some of the features yet. It's a great app. And yes it's free.

I use Layout  from instagram frequently when I want to make collages. Also, Live Collage  is another easy to use great app to create a collage of pictures and add backgrounds.

Lately, one app that I'm having a lot of fun with is Prisma. It's fun to see what the different filters will look like.



And another app that I've just discovered is the color pop effects app. With this app, the image is converted to grey scale, and then you choose which section of the picture to have in color. It's fun, and it can be very bold. And it can really give a photo a new fresh look.



And for my android users, I apologize that all of these links are for the iPhone. But, I'm fairly certain most of these apps are also available for the android.

And of course, you can always check out my instagram for more pics and videos where basically I just enjoy having fun being me https://www.instagram.com/Willrun4icecream/


So there you have it... 6 fun useful apps for social media. Do you have any that you'd like to add?

Writing is one of my passions, and I'm stepping out there on faith to follow my dream. If you like this blog or this post, please take a moment to share it with friends.

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Marathon Training No One Said It Would Be Easy Or Even Always Fun

 No one said that it would be easy, or that it would always be enjoyable, and always fun. But when you've made a commitment - it's a commitment - and you see it through (and no I'm not talking about marriage, although I could easily make a correlation between the two ). I'm referring to my marathon training. See, last Sunday I had a 14 mile run on the schedule. Mentally I felt blah. Physically I felt 'ok' but not stellar. And when it came down to it, my mental blah won in the end and I bailed at 6 miles on my 14 mile run. If I thought I felt bad mentally before, I really felt bad mentally after bailing on the run. My trainer, being the trainer that she is, simply said, can you get in a 2 hour or so run on Monday? Gulp, I suppose so. And that's just what I did. It required me getting up before the sun woke up so that I could get in a 2 hour run before Hubby went to work. I am TERRIFIED of running solo in the dark. But I had bailed on my Long Run...
