iPhone X: Initial Review

New Phone, who dis?

**Fun fact: Apple didn't skip 9 (well technically they did) but the reason there is 8 and X (or 10, however you wanna say it) is because it's the 10th anniversary phone**

Alrighty so for those of you that know me, there are two facts when it comes to phones: It's going to be an iPhone and if it's too different or new, I'm gonna hate it. So I took a gamble when I saw I was eligible for an upgrade from my iPhone 7 and got the iPhone X. I even went as far as getting up at 3am on October 27th to preorder it (and go through the nightmare of a website not designed for that much traffic and inevitably having a rep order it and getting me in the like 5th group to get my phone).

On my personal social media I was seeing mixed reviews when people started getting theirs. Mine FINALLY showed up last Wednesday right after I went to work so by the time I got it all activated and backed up and what not it was Thursday morning. With that being said, I've had the phone for only 4 days so I can't confidently give a full review, thus the initial part.

Here's what I've gathered so far.

• I miss the home button. I liked being able to physically click it on. However, I didn't like how the thumbprint would open to the home screen when you clicked it even if you just wanted to check time. 
• The facial recognition is still slightly creepy but it's damn good. Glasses, safety glasses, dark, dim, hair up, hair down, I haven't had any issues at all. 
• The camera and speakers are FANTASTIC! I'm so impressed.
• I'm not pleased that the battery indicator is gone.. I need to know my percentage without having to drag down a screen.
• The bigger screen is pretty sweet and the phone has a great feel to it. Little weighty but not too heavy.
• Closing apps is a bit more time consuming. I think. 
• I literally had to google how to turn the phone off and do screenshots. Now that I know how to do it, I think I like it. 

I'm planning to give it a month or so and do a full/follow up post to tell y'all about battery life, durability, performance, and maybe even get some outside reviews if any of y'all would like to share your opinion. 

Tattoos Number Three & Four

I just realized I never posted about my newest two tattoos. I went down to visit my mom and sister for my sister's 18th birthday last August in Tennessee and they had just gotten new tattoos so I got all fired up and decided to get a new one myself. Somehow getting one turned into two.

Tattoo #3: Family Tattoo

Yes like a cult or something everyone in my family got a matching tattoo (hopefully I'll be able to post all of them when my brother in law gets his). The guys' are a bit less girly without the red and the love but they are all the same general concept. Mine is on my left shoulder blade.

Tattoo #4: Beautiful Disaster Ambigram

Outline up top and finished product obviously. I got this tattoo because it's a summary of my life. One beautiful disaster. I have to admit this was the hardest tattoo I've ever gotten. I got about halfway through and I almost passed out from the pain. Between my hip bone and my ribs I'm not sure which was worse. Regardless, it turned out fantastic and I love it dearly.

So big shout out to Black Hearts Tattoo Parlor in Cleveland, TN and Hammer Hands for doing just a fantastic job on both of my tattoos. I'm beyond pleased with how they turned out.

And for those of you keeping up, these would be all four of them. Two shoulders, my side, and my left hip. More to come for sure! Its an addiction (:

RIP Little Journey

Well last month we got one of our classic Ohio snowfalls. I live on a random back road that never gets plowed and on the way to work one day I was coming up to the stop sign at the intersection of a busy highway. Needless to say there was ice, bad tires, and no stopping at the stop sign. I slid into the intersection and got hit on the passenger side by an HHR. Luckily everyone was okay in the other vehicle. I bounced my head off the window and ended up taking an ambulance ride to the emergency room. Clearly, I survived with bashed up knees and a knot on my head. After a day of rest I was back to work.

Unfortunately, I was without a vehicle though. I bummed some rides until my bestest friend in the whole wide world lent me her car to borrow while she was at college. I spent a week driving the Teal Tragedy (her name, not mine) before I made it to my cousin's dealership in Mansfield where I found exactly what I wanted.

I'm pretty much a creature of habit and get real nervous about straying from what I know. Since I had absolutely loved my 2010 Dodge Journey, I started looking at replacing it with another Journey. They had one on the lot that was a used 2012 Journey that was the same color blue but it was all wheel drive which I desperately wanted for the stupid winters here in Ohio.

So heres the cool features:

• Keyless entry
• Push to start
• Excessive big touch screen
• Sirius XM
• Climate control
• Of course I had to add the Browning seat covers

I'm not sure I'm wild about the different front end but I'm digging the fog lights. So thats the update on my vehicle situation.

New Tattoo Ideas

So for those of you who don't know, I'm slightly addicted to tattoos and piercings. 

These are the two I have now:

I wanna get this on my ribs or down my right side:

On this one I want the top right corner put on my left shoulder for my grandma but without the date and the bottom right on my ankle:

and thats that. Just not in the budget right now.
