Friday Finisher 8/11/17

Published: Aug 11, 2017 · Modified: Apr 3, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

My phone is dieng. I got the iPhone 7 back in October after my poor 7 year old Driod finally bit the dust. I knew getting an iPhone was a bad idea, but I did anyway...it is not holding the charge. One scroll through Instagram and the thing has lost 20% of its power. But there is a perk to this...I have been staying off my phone most of the day now and not scrolling before bed! I'll have to get it fixed, but I'm kind of liking it too! Haha! (Helps with my sleep!) Apple products just don't like me and I don't like them. I miss not only my Android, but also my old PC laptop. No looking back now though...

Enough of the pity party; it's Friday! Have a great weekend and soak up some sun! xoxo

    Yay for unintentional unpluggin! 😛 I'm kinda hoping that my phone just lasts me forever because I don't want to have to deal with buying another one ._.

    Multi-Level Marketing annoys the crud outta me. 😐

    I'm off to check out those quarter life crisis movies! 😛 Not exactly in one right now, but I'm all for Netflix binging! :D...

    Ha, I'm kind of in the same boat as you - my phones home button doesn't work and it's only a 16 g and totally out of space- meaning I have no apps besides IG (which doesn't open) - but I kind of love it because it makes me more in the moment. Always a plus side 😉 Happy weekend, friend!
