Let the Mutiny Begin! Snapchat Update Changes “Stories”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 8, 2018February 8, 2018Leave a Comment

WARNING!!! If you see this post DO NOT perform the latest Snapchat Update! The popular social media platform just committed the biggest flub of 2018; and it is only February.

What’s going on? SC (Snapchat) decided to change up how their users utilize Stories. Instead of seeing your squad and everyone else on your list who happens to be showcasing their whereabouts and dinner plates; the new update gets selective. Only 10 of your friends Stories will show while being mixed in with the Discover Section; and nothing is in chronological order with stories and sent chats now being combined. Moreover, in some cases you will not see any Stories at all, just the Discover Page with celebrity driven features. Lame.

Now everyone using Snapchat knows at the end of the day it is a business that wants and has to make money. However, changing up the layout to a more confusing as well as invasive version is simply ludicrous.

Furthermore, what makes matters worst is now you have to be forced to see Stories of people you do not even follow as well as Discover features you could care less about. Snapchat’s update is a pure business move that does absolute NOTHING for its user fan base. Other than be an annoying prick and irritation.

Let the Mutiny Begin! Snapchat Update Changes “Stories”

Now while reading this you may be slightly wondering what’s with all the hoopla now. Some had already received this new update awhile back. However, now it is rolling out to the majority of SC participants. Thus, causing a wave of panic and cries for immediate help and assistance.

Many Snapchat fans are also saying that the update is too far and Instagram is looking like their main instead of the social side chick now. Which is another reason why we are very unsure why Snapchat would decide to mess with their most popular feature.

The race and battle of the social platforms is intense and a constant rollercoaster. SC’s major competitor, Instagram, had already tried to pull a VINE demolition on SC; by flat out stealing Stories. Adding it to not only Instagram but also the Facebook platform. The move backfired, but the message was clear. Instagram felt seriously threatened and wanted to take out SC like they did VINE.

VINE had been a social favorite due to being a video sharing platform instead of a photosharing one. Instagram devilishly added the video sharing feature to their platform and sweetened the deal by having a longer available recording time. Shots fired. The clip was then emptied into VINE leaving them cold, dead on the floor.

Snapchat Update – Dude… Like History Repeats Itself

This new update proves that Snapchat has literally become the modern day Coca Cola. Back in the 80’s the beverage brand felt the heavy pinch of the cola/soda wars. Pepsi was right on Coke’s heels and they felt its hot, steamy sugary breath. The solution?

Coca Cola decided to hit the market with NEW Coke! The problem is the change in soda taste proved to be horrendous. People mutinied, returned vats and machines of NEW Coke to the company and basically said “forget you.” As a result, Coca Cola had to act fast otherwise they knew they would lose their customers forever.

Coca Cola immediately changed their soda back to the original formula and recipe. This move actually not only improved sales causing a major spike upward; but they won the soda wars. Remaining dominate even now. The lesson of this moment in history? The users and consumers are always right and if you mess with them they will bankrupt you.

In the end, this newest Snapchat Update is purely a hot mess. It is like looking for a needle in the haystack. Really, who wants to sift through mountains of digital visuals just to get to their Friends Stories. No one has time for that and even if they did; they wouldn’t want to do it.

Plus, without Stories in its proper place Snapchat is nothing more than a glorified messaging app. What’s the point in that? Hello, we have text messaging and DMs! The thrill is gone.

Snapchat Update Changes “Stories”

Let’s face it, most of us are only still using SC for two reasons. Those darn creative filters and the fact they are the originators of Stories. However, now that SC for some reason is putting a noose around themselves and stepping close to the edge; they are leaving very little motivation for users to stay.

Years ago everyone fled FB in search of a social “Newfoundland” that offered more privacy and less sales ads. Instagram and Snapchat filled this need. Moreover, Snapchat had a slight edge because initially they were not invasive when it came to their heavy brand saturated Discover section.

If you wanted to know what some brand was doing you could go to the Discover page if YOU wanted to; no forcing. Little by little however SC kept forcing the Discover section down our throats in hopes that we would click on one. However, now everyone is choking and they just want relief. It is now a threatening situation and we the users. Yes, we the people who MADE Snapchat what it is are at the tipping point and we are not happy.

Snapchat Update Changes “Stories” (Cont.)

Therefore, just how upset are the masses right now? Here are some the things people are saying and also feeling about the Snapchat update:

“Same, I already use Instagram a lot more and I love it; but I might uninstall Snapchat since all I use are filters haha.”

“This will force me to go to IG. Hate to say it but I can’t be arsed trying to find who left snaps in that mess.”

“I hope you never receive the update haha. It’s making me want to not use it anymore. It’s really annoying as you can see discover and friend stories mix in a mess; and you have even stories from people you don’t follow.”

“Anyone else hate the new snapchat update???”

“The new Snapchat update gives me anxiety.”

“Let’s all just delete our snapchat apps till they fix it.”

“Snapchat update is only showing the stories of 10 people and the rest are ads. $%&# this.”

“You should change the stories back to the way they were; but if you keep the new boxes then put them in order of when they were posted. Not how you want them to be ordered.”

“I wanna know who from snapchat thought this update was a good idea?”

“You’re basically promoting all the famous people and popular snaps by putting them first. It’s not fair to everybody else, and I’m not the only person that thinks so.”

“Okay so how do I see people stories? All I can find is the people I’ve snapped last and if they have a story.”

“We want the old snap back!!! This new one is too cluttered and hard to navigate!!! Bring it back please!!!”

“Dear, Snapchat can you please make a new update that’s the old update! Sincerely, we all hate the new update!”

Snapchat Update – Can It Be Fixed?

As you can see, none of it is glowing remarks. So then, what is the solution to this madness? A few users have found a workaround, but it is not foolproof. Many are reporting that it only works on some phones and after a few days, things revert back to the new horrific version. However, if you would still like to give it a world here it is:

Delete the app.
Re-download the app.
Hit “Forget Password” and change your password.
Log back into the old Snapchat.

In conclusion, the new update is simply the pits. Most hate it and want to hit the easy button and return to the past. Will Snapchat listen to their users and be as wise as Coca Cola? Only time will tell. For now we are left with unwanted changes as we place our fingers on the trigger and ponder whether to press DELETE.

[If on Instagram] be sure to follow my new page “@EvaMarcilleHomeCollection” and stay in the loop for the launch of my new home decor company.”

Eva Marcille Home Collection

Great news right? We couldn’t help ourselves and decided to check out Eva’s new page for her upcoming line. Already the page showcases teasers of decor photo shoots as well as possible fabric options.

Moreover, the page also was quite forthcoming with additional details and company information. In a nutshell, the home collection page says,

“Fall 2018 is about to get a little more Fab with the new home collection! Coming soon!

Eva Marcille Home Collection- Get Ready!

Excited? So are we! Therefore, in order to get you ready for Eva’s upcoming collection we thought we’d share some easy decorating tips. All with the aim of helping you to infuse your home’s overall vibe with your own personal style!

Tip #1 Get Your Research On– Do a little homework to find out what type of decor looks you like and dislike. Search through magazines, books, social platforms dedicated to interior design and Google Images. In time you can see a clear pattern of the style(s) you seem to lean towards.

Tip #2 Don’t Chase Trends– The thing about trends, is that they are here one day and literally gone the next. It’s like trying to chase something going full speed and your pace is more that of a turtle. Instead aim to make picks that make your various rooms feel good, coordinated and comfy.

Tip #3 You Go Girl!– Realize now that nothing in any space will be or has to be permanent. The home style constantly evolves so be prepared to “let go” of various items or looks from time to time. You might get hitched, decide to travel plus your family may get larger or smaller.

All of these are changes that will cause some tweaking to your home’s style. Hey, look on the brightside. If things never changed, you would not get to enjoy the spoils of open concept, rustic, art-deco, mid-century, contemporary, bohemian or traditional design.

Tip #4 Say Yes to the Test– Before you purchase anything make sure that the item passes one important test, your lifestyle. Peer deeply into your habits, hobbies, interests, how you like to unwind, relax and just simply chill. If a piece doesn’t fit with how you truly love to live just do yourself a favor and forego it.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 18, 2019December 18, 2017

ToTo Modern Dog Houses – Treat Your Puppy to a Custom Dog House!

“Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era,” so said the late designer, Azzedine Alaia. These sentiments are as true as they are in fashion as they are in the realm of home design.

Times change, yet great, innovative design shall always exist. For instance, home living styles have evolved every single decade. Some have gone from Ranch style to Mediterranean, closed off to open concept. sometimes your dog might run out of these luxury houses, you must have these wireless invisible dog fences on your ground near dog house.

However, while human homes have experienced drastic changes one thing has sort of stayed the same. Pet homes for our puppies still oftentimes look like they did when our grandparents housed our parental’s pets. How uneventful.

Nevertheless, it is a fresh breath of design air to see a company step onto the scene and bring pet homes up-to-date with current trends. Insert the amazing designs of ToTo Modern Dog Houses. These aren’t your average run of the mill puppy living spaces. They look as trendy or chic as any modern home you would see on your own block.

One cool custom dog house design is known as the “BarkVader.” You have probably already guessed what it is named after. However, if you would still like a little hint, go Google Luke Skywalker’s daddy. You are very welcome.

Other designs come with snazzy names such as the: Miami, Red Rover, Malibu and (a personal name favorite) the Diamond in the Ruff. Dog-tastic!

The Red Rover looks just as you probably imagine it. A bright fire engine red for a pup that likes to keep it flashy. Furthermore, the Malibu as well as Miami designs are quite similar other than a slight structural difference and color selection. The Malibu is constructed with a more slanted roof than the Miami, but both are fabulous.

Furthermore, another aspect of these doggy-licious homes that we love is how they are crafted. Attention to detail is the standard and well-made is the name of the game. These homes aren’t just products of a mass assembly line. Each one is made with care and meticulousness. A real plus for any pet parent worried about the safety of their puppy.

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer, Regardless of Fitness Level

ArianneUpdated on December 18, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Choosing the right personal fitness trainer is very important. To pick up the phone and call the first trainer that popped up in a Google search, could end up being both a waste of time and money. Therefore, personal training is a valuable service, but it is best to pick a fitness trainer that can achieve the goals that YOU are after.

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer

There is no such thing as a stupid question. We recently quizzed a top Los Angeles fitness trainer on what anyone regardless of their fitness level should look for in a trainer. Remember, it is your body and it deserves only the best. With that in mind, here are a few things to definitely keep in the forefront when making your decision.

1. What are their achievements?

The Answer: Pick a trainer whose achievements closely match your goals. If you want to run a race, a runner with marathon experience would fit. If you want to lose weight, a personal trainer who has lost weight his/herself would be a great match.

Of course this is not always the case. I have trained men for mass gain and have been plenty successful. If you find a trainer you want to work with, ask if they have experience in the area. Furthermore, any great trainer will get one of their previous or current clients to call or e-mail you, with a testimonial if you request one.

2. What is their availability?

The Answer: If you want to train full force at three or four times a week, make sure the trainer has the availability. A great personal trainer is really busy, and some can only fit in 1 or 2 sessions per client a week. If you want to work with them anyway, see if they will provide you with a custom program for working out one or two days a week on your own.

Choose The Right Fitness Trainer (Cont.)

3. What are you looking for in a personal trainer?

The Answer: Do you just need someone there to make sure you are exercising hard enough? Do you want someone who will motivate you like a drill Sergeant? Do you need to work on technique? Or perhaps, do you have any injuries or conditions that need a more experienced and knowledgeable trainer?

As you can see, a little analysis is required. Definitely be sure to pick out a trainer that will provide what you want. Everybody has different expectations of what a good trainer is. Find the right match for what you need to get out of your workout sessions.

Personal training is a service that fast tracks results safely and surely. A great way to find a trainer is through friends and family who can recommend their trainer to you. Alternately, do your research, and hire the best trainer for your goals and needs.

The Right Fitness Trainer

A truly skilled personal fitness trainer can help you learn not only how to get into the best shape ever, but maintain it. This kind of knowledge is simply invaluable. Los Angeles fitness coach, Erin Williams demonstrated how important it is to listen to as well as learn from the best. Furthermore, Williams shared with us a nutrition tip that can really help you shed the pounds! Enjoy.

Travel Mondays: Punta Cana – Beautiful, Affordable Caribbean Vacation

Lori LaneUpdated on December 18, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Need to get away? Or how about this, raise your hand if you could use some much needed rest as well as relaxation. We thought so! Punta Cana, is one of the most stunningly gorgeous travel destinations in the entire world and is known for making travelers go, “Oh and Ah.”

The best part of all? The weather is phenomenal and an entire trip won’t even hurt your bank account either! Therefore, scroll on to read more about our awesome Punta Cana adventure; as well as our top tips and facts sure to help make your own trip even more amazing.

Did You Know? This travel destination is home to Seaquarium. This fun hot spot allows brave patrons to explore the sea while walking around and breathing like normal. If you have a half day to spare this is a must-see and do attraction.

Travel Mondays: Punta Cana – Beautiful, Affordable Caribbean Vacation

After 7 hours of driving through heavy rain from Samana, navigating through 100’s of pot holes, the road slowly turned into a beautiful four lane highway; passing through sugar cane plantations as we got closer to Punta Cana. Based on the more developed highway infrastructure, we can feel that we were approaching an area of mass tourism.

After spending the past week navigating through the remote northern part of the Dominican Republic. We were ready for a bit of civilization and luxury. Moreover, the thrill and fun adventures of busting two tires, digging our car out of a sand pit, and using our broken Spanish to get locals to help jump start a dead battery; started to wear us down and we were ready for a break.

After about 45mins on this highway, we arrived into Bavaro. Upon arrival, were greeted with swaying coco palms, aqua-blue water, and beautiful white sand beach that rivals many of the top beaches in the Caribbean.

Why go to Punta Cana?

Bavaro/Punta Cana area is a top Caribbean beach paradise, but more affordable than most other Caribbean destinations. Ask anyone who’s been to Punta Cana, and they will tell you that the beaches are among the most picturesque that they’ve ever seen. Here, tall coconut palms dot much of the seashore, and the soft, white sand is inviting.

What is there to do? Well, lots and lots of beautiful beaches; totaling 35km of continuous pristine white sand. So then, if you are looking for views that will nab up thousands of Instagram likes you have found the right spot!

Check out the video on Punta Cana

Overview of the Area (Punta Cana and Bavaro)

At first impression, Punta Cana/Bavaro is very similar to Playa Del Carmen in the Maya Riviera area of Mexico. It is basically a midsized tourist town that is surrounded by beautiful white sand beach and many mega all-inclusive resorts that are more like cities themselves than a resorts.

The main tourist areas comprise of the Bavaro (accessible to the public) to the north side of the airport. Also, Punta Cana (gated and tourists who are not staying at one of the Punta Cana’s resort can only access with a day pass) to the south side. Whether they know it or not, most tourist that have said they have been to Punta Cana really spend their time in Bavaro, which is the main tourist hub.

Furthermore, because of the gated area, Punta Cana is more exclusive/private (often higher end) than Bavaro. However, it is far away from any town or night life. Punta Cana area is pretty much a beautiful master planned community of high-end resorts and golf courses.

As one can see, this is why many tourists love this beautiful exclusive feel. However, complain that it lacks culture. One most simply decide which is more important.

Overview of the Area (Cont.)

Bavaro has some of the most beautiful beaches in the area, closer to town, but lacks the privacy and exclusive feel of Punta Cana. The leaning palm trees, the soft white sand, and the gentle waves make this area the picture perfect beach. All water sports activities such as parasailing, windsurfing, and jet skis are readily available.

In our opinion, we prefer the more beautiful beaches of Bavaro. Plus, the ability to easily escape from the resort to try out local food and night life in town. Perhaps a better way to put it is that Punta Cana is more for couples/adults only. While Bavaro is more for the family.

But honestly, there is so much white sand and aqua-blue water here that you will likely have your own choice of your favorite beaches. You really can’t go wrong!

Punta Cana- Things to do

Punta Cana and Bavaro has something to offer for everyone of all ages.

Relax – The typical day is usually filled with activities at the resort such as yoga, parasailing, windsurfing, kayaking, sailing lessons, or swimming.

Party – Punta Cana/Bavaro has some night life, but it is much more toned down than that of Cancun or Cabo. Party boats during the day or at sunset are available and can be booked through your hotel concierge or at any restaurant.

Golf – There are so many golf courses around, especially in the gated Punta Cana resort area, where the courses are right on the edge of the ocean.

Beaches – Many tourists just stick to the beach in front of their resort. However, if you have a rental car (highly recommended), then you should venture out to the numerous other beaches. They span along the 35km of continuous white sand.

Driving during the day is fine. Nevertheless, at night is not recommended. The reason? This is due to many cars/motorcycles with no lights being on the road. Also, you should know that gas in DR is very expensive. Budget wisely.

Punta Cana- Things to do (Cont.)

Excursions – Highly recommended is the Saona Island excursion. It is a must visit and is 1 hour from Punta Cana. Typical cost is about $60-70USD and $25 for transportation per person from Punta Cana. If you drive there, then ignore the $25 transportation cost.

Eat – Escape from the resort by cab or car to sample some local food. Most of the local restaurants and night life are located in the El Cortecito waterfront area, intersection of Avenida Francia/Avenida Espana (Plaza Punta Cana/Plaza Bavaro), and the intersection of Avenida Estados Unidos/Avenida Espana (around the Texaco gas station). Our favorite which we ate four times during our visit is Delicias de Bavaro (at intersection of Avenida Francia/Avenida Espana), a place filled with locals.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking for that picture perfect white sand beach, yet affordable Caribbean vacation, look no further than Punta Cana/Bavaro. As the beaches rival some of the best in the Caribbean at half the cost. Happy travel booking and wishing you much fun and relaxation!

Our latest find is literally Bombay meets Blade Runner. Check out designer Dio Davies’ latest creation – a coral pink piano that’s straight out of science fiction.

The futuristic statement piano, inspired by the furniture designer’s travels in India and her love of Sci-Fi movies, also has a self-play system that allows tracks to be played wirelessly from a concealed iPod and hidden speakers.

Dio, who is already making waves in design circles with a collection of acrylic furniture meets art. Kindly spoke further about the inspiration behind this exquisite pink piano. Dio reveals,

“It’s a piece of furniture that starts the party! Moreover I wanted to create the ultimate interactive experience. A sculpture that at the flick of a switch turns into a radiant and dramatic center-piece. Drawing you in both by sight and sound.

I took my love of films such as Tron and Blade Runner and their technological aesthetic – and the colors from my travels: tropical sunsets, flamingos and coral shells – and used crisp, dazzling acrylic to transform this hand-crafted artisan instrument into a vibrant work of art.”

Furthermore, I wanted to respect the heritage of the piano and its traditional mechanisms, the wooden hammers and leavers, and the classic black and white keys. However, I wanted to take it into the future and the transparency presented an exciting challenge. The piano needed to be beautiful, whilst also hiding the digital wizardry that allows the Edelweiss self-play system to operate behind the scenes.”

Dio decided to collaborate with piano company Edelweiss, which has been handcrafting self-playing, custom pianos from its Cambridge studio for more than 40 years.

She says, “Edelweiss was the only company I could find that could build this piano, and help me realize my dream. I wanted something magnificent but musically precise; and their craftsmen were able to configure the exact design, color and materials I was looking for.”

Ross Norman from Edelweiss says: “We relished the challenge to work with Dio, and to create something completely different. In this case, taking a piece of statement furniture into the fourth dimension, giving it color, light and sound.”

The Coral Piano is priced at £38,000 (including VAT) and can already been seen at Mayfair cocktail lounge Sketch. To inquire, contact Dio Davies: 0207 754 1198 or email hello@diodavies.co

The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns are so Last Week

Arianne May 5, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

How big is this secret menu?! Starbucks is back at it again with a new flavored frap that would make Ariel jealous. The new drink comes complete with sweet flavors and of course vibrant, multi-coloring. Are you daring enough to give the Mermaid Frappuccino a try?

The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns Frappuccinos are so Last Week

It seems just like yesterday that every caffeine fanatic was making their way to Starbucks in order to get a little unicorn in their life. Now Mermaid fraps are sliding into the menu like a DM.

Nevertheless, the number one question is… what the heck is in it? Well, we didn’t have to dig too hard. A Starbucks barista spilled the deets stating,

“Step aside Unicorn Frappuccino, meet the Mermaid Frappuccino. Bay City Starbucks sold out of the unicorn frappuccino on the first day, but we made the moment right by suggesting other partner created frappuccinos!

The mermaid frappuccino is a Pokemon go frappuccino without the raspberry syrup, drizzled with a toasted coconut matcha sauce!”

Not going to lie, that description slightly made our mouths water. Especially, the drizzle! Fortunately, the same superstar barista shared the info on that too. She continued,

“To make the drizzle, mix 8 pumps white mocha, 3 cbspumps toasted coconut and 3 heaping scoops of matcha in a pitcher until smooth. Pour into gravity bottle. Make the Pokemon go frappuccino minus raspberry syrup. Drizzle the cup and top with whipped cream and matcha powder. Enjoy!”

The Mermaid Frappuccino

In the end, the result is a purple and green combo that makes us think of The Little Mermaid’s tail and seashells top. So far the verdict on taste has been very positive. Unlike the Unicorn frap that came with mixed reviews and some encouraging others not to waste their money. Therefore, if you are looking to try something new, fun and yummy then you need to order yourself a mermaid.
