Looking for Something?
DoAT is a new iPhone app that promises to deliver a different kind of search experience. The app lets you personalize your search, allowing you to find content the way you want to find it.
I downloaded the app to check it out…and I’d like to call it a 3D search experience. Instead of turning up a list of search results, it gives you a list of categories, allowing you to select the direction you want to go.
For example, in my search of “Hurricane Irene” I could choose to see results in social media, reference, weather, etc. So, if I wanted to see the latest buzz on the impending storm I would select “social.” Then I can swipe through search results from various social media mobile apps: Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare and so on. And there’s no need to actually download any of the apps.
This app definitely makes is easier to customize your results and get exactly what you’re looking for. The “swipe” interface is unique, practical, and fun to work with. Also, there’s a sense of discovery as you are introduced to sites you may not have used before.
Tip: Get the app at the App Store while it’s still free!

Thursday – The Weeknd
Thank God for twitter… lol!
… The Weeknd has a new mixtape called Thursday, released last Thursday on the site! Exciteeeeed since I’ve blown House of Balloons (the last mix) out on repeat, I’m sure there are grooves in the cd at this point! Needless to say, I’m listening as I type and so far so good, to none of my surprise. Find the download below. Of course you’ll hear the melodic, eerie, indie, urban sound from the last album, with its own vibe… I’m obsessed with the drumroll! You’ll catch a verse from Drake on a track called The Zone, of course you’ll hear plenty about love and much about sex… “Don’t make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me” — try to ignore this! Go… Click ‘Download’ NOW! #xoxo

Twisted all over
I haven’t been to the hair salon in ages, and was about to give in and make an appointment to get my hair twisted; then I thought to my self, “surely you can do this on your own”… and then I did.
Twists are an awesome protective style, easy to do, they look super cute, and you can keep them in for a couple of days. YES.
Pin them up, or just let em’ hang 🙂
I wasn’t sure how I would twist the back…but where there’s a will, and a couple bobby pins, there’s definitely a way 🙂
D.I.Y is truly the way to go 🙂
peace, love and health
♥Bella♥
