Photomuse App

365 days of Photomuse - exploring 365 ways to use the Photomuse iPhone app

New Year, New Apps

The first one is a new app that I have been working on, called Weight Tracker & Photo Log which you can download for free! If one of your new year resolutions is to get fit this year, whether you want to lose weight or just tone up, this app will help you to keep track of your progress.

The second app is called Clear and it is great for to-do lists for those of you looking to be more productive this year.

The third app is called Sleep Cycle which analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase. I have found getting out of bed unusually difficult lately so this will really come in handy.

Collection #9: iPhone Apps to Download

Last year I was looking for a gift for someone I know who's a chilli lover and while flipping through catalogues and magazines, I snapped photos of things that I was considering. Like this chilli mill, doesn't it look great? I've tried some Trees Can't Dance sauces in the past and quite like them as well.

And if they go down a treat, I can simply edit my note so that I remember for next time!

Collection #8: Chilli Lovers

Out shopping for new home decor items or just looking for some new ideas? Start a new collection and take photos of the things you like, so you can remember them later.

Sometimes a stand out piece of decor can do a lot to add style to a room. These are just a few of the things I have in my collection. I really like the chest of drawers, and the globe on a stand.

Collection #7: Home Decor Ideas

Inspiring quotes are great especially when you need a bit of motivation. 

Sometimes I come across great prints while browsing on my phone and take screenshots to remember them, such as this one from Conan O'Brien on Etsy.

Collection #6: Inspiring Words

I love going to live gigs, especially when they're in small and intimate settings. Sometimes you come across new acts or bands that are amazing but if you forget what they're called, you'll have a hard time finding them later.

That's when you can whip out your Photomuse app, take a photo and type in their name so you can be sure to look them up when you get home.

I hadn't heard of Tom Odell until I saw him perform live in Hackney last year. He not only sounded great, but he was fantastic on the piano too.

Collection #5: Discovered Music

You know when you're at IKEA and you have to write down the number and location of products that you want so you know where to pick them up in the self-serve area? Well there's an easier way! Simply snap a photo with your Photomuse app on your iPhone and make a quick note. 

No mini pencils, no small slips of paper, no fuss!

Collection #3: Fruit Cider

I've always liked fruit cider, especially apple cider. The best that I've ever had and my absolute favourite is Kopparberg's Naked Apple. Sometimes I like to try other labels and flavours, but I can't always remember which ones I've had and what I thought about them.

So I like to take photos of the labels, and add a quick note. Two new ciders that I tried tonight were: Wild Berries Cider from Rekorderlig and Cloudberry from Kopparberg. I think I want to try Strawberry Lime next...

Collection #2 in my Photomuse app: Foodie Adventures

I made an aubergine (eggplant) veal mince stew tonight. I had some mince in the fridge and was hit with a bit of inspiration this afternoon, as you do. Aubergines go well with veal mince!

So I went to the shop and picked up some baby aubergines (they were out of the regular ones) and I cooked it with a large onion, celery, pitted black olives and tomato sauce. I also added a splash of red wine which was then reduced. It was delicious.

This collection is for all those times you experiment and create dishes that turn out fantastic, but you then later on forget how you made it! It happens to all of us. Last week I wanted to roast duck legs that I had cooked perfectly the week before but for the life of me couldn't remember what I used as the marinade.

Collection #1 in my Photomuse app: Natural Remedies

This is where I keep simple and natural recipes that I come across.

I currently have a sinus cold, so I made myself a jar of this lovely concoction. It is sliced lemon and ginger mixed with honey. I help myself to a spoonful or two topped with hot water throughout the day.

I plan on always keeping some of this in the fridge. Not because I'm always sick, but because it tastes so good!

New Year, New Blog

It seems like the start of a new year is a great time to start a new project. So I've decided to kick off 2013 with the first post of a brand new blog - this one!

For the next 365 days, I am going to share and explore the different ways that you can use Photomuse. 

If you're not familiar with Photomuse, it is an iPhone app which helps you to save and organize memories. Capture inspiration and ideas that you come across, add a note or caption underneath and keep them sorted in collections that you create.
