Replacing your iPhone Headset


Well it’s that time! I’ve had my (first generation) iPhone for well over a year and the headset that came with it was in bad shape…time to replace it! I was stalled into putting this off for a few more months by the price of doing this and being a bit scared off by some of the reviews I read on apple’s website! If I’m going to spend over a $100 for a headset (I’m sure because of the mic) then by George it better be commanding higher stars than a solid 3! To me that’s just a bit risky so why not just get the kind that came with the iPhone for only $30 right? OK so I bit the bullet! My birthday was coming up so I decided on a 3.5 star and $50 less for these Sennheiser MM50′s and I’m THRILLED that I did it!

STUPENDOUS! I hear a lot more details in my music than I ever did before! Yes my friend, that extra $70 really is worth it! Now normally I have my volume all the way up and I SWEAR that the people in the room with me can hear the music better than me LOL. I’m serious my family always knew what I was listening to and would get annoyed that they had to also hear my music while I thought it was just “OK”. I get these baby’s and stick them on and of course my volume was all the way up so that I could hear and this about blew my head off! I very quickly took the volume down…way down. See this picture? If your volume is louder than this then you have a serious hearing problem because this is plenty loud. Another thing I noticed is that I can no longer hear ANYTHING except the music which is great but also not so great because I think you could get hit by a bus or something if you aren’t careful! Seriously, I think it’s a great value though. The sound when talking on the phone is much much better too. I’ll tell you this though…if you actually WANT to hear the words coming out of the mouths of the people around you when you are listening to your music or talking on the phone…you won’t enjoy this headset. For those interested I also did a “sound check” with my family and went into where they were with the volume up to about mid way which is really loud and asked them what I was listening to. My hubby said … I can’t make it out…I know your listening to something though! Fantastic…much much better!

Incredible to Think about

This pretty much says it:

Consignment shopping for Indianapolis and Greenwood Peeps!


First…it’s downright embarrassing how long it’s been since I posted something to this blog! It’s not for lack of desire but more like I don’t have time to get here to post! That’s a good thing right? I apologize anyway!

That being said I wanted to stop in and tell you about a Greenwood Indiana Consignment Shop where they have the best stuff! No junk here and I’m not just saying that because they are my client but because I actually shop there myself and it’s my most favorite place to buy clothes and accessories. I’m serious as a heart attack I have gotten the most excellent clothes from here…stuff that I could not have ever gotten brand new! It all looks brand new though because Selective Seconds doesn’t deal in junk! They really are selective about what they put on their floor so you don’t have to sort through a bunch of junk!

I’ve not shopped for clothing anywhere since I discovered this place! What is the point? I can get such great stuff here for a mere fraction of the cost it would take me to buy something new! I’m not just talking clothes either…jewelry, purses, shoes, etc… The owner is constantly running specials too so if you sign up for the newsletter at the website you can save even more!

Check it out! They are located right in the plaza next to the National City Bank on Meridian (135) just south of County Line Road! You know where the Four Seasons Restaurant is? It’s in that same plaza!

Great Girly Girl Personalized Stationary


Do you love girly girl stationary designs as much as I do? I truly do love this stuff and in my spare time I’m a nut about everything from kitchen utensils to my personalized stationary! Now I love these Periwinkle notepads so badly I guess one could say I’m addicted to them! I have these three styles here (show in the picture) and got them in my one of my favorite fonts “Girls are Weird” or “Weird Girls” whichever you call it! I see they have several new things since I bought these too like this Mon Petit Chou notepad series that looks absolutely YUMMY! My favorites though are these pictured. The Periwinkle Embroidery Notepad , Periwinkle Sweethearts Notepad and the Periwinkle Centerstage Notepad. <----that's me right? Centerstage? What a hoot!

You know I probably shouldn’t act like the only thing you can get at The Paper Post is notepads though because they really do have TONS of all sorts of personalized stationary and there are lots of things there I would really like to have but ALAS I’m not rich SO I can only afford so much at one time!
