Be a Flamingo Tech Wallpapers

Be a Flamingo Tech Wallpaper

Can you believe we are half way through 2015 already? Half a year behind us, but a whole six more months for us to reach our goals for the year. As I have just come back from vacation in Aruba, I thought it would be awesome to spread the caribbean love with my community through these new tech wallpapers I put together. Of course, the original photography in the image is my own. This image was snapped on Flamingo Island, the private beach island that was part of the resort I stayed at in Aruba. The flamingos are something of an attraction and they pretty much just hang out on the island being fed by the tourists and conversing with the iguanas! What a life! Exotic creatures such as these remind us that the world is filled with beauty and color. There is no reason to go to great lengths to conform when you have a beautiful flamingo inside of you! Stop hiding your flamingo! That’s going to be my mantra for the next few months!

Here are the Be a Flamingo Wallpapers!

Life is Short – DVF Tech Wallpapers

Tech Wallpapers for Spring

Next week is April and I can’t believe that the first quarter of 2015 is nearly over. But you know what that means? New Tech Wallpapers! Yep, my quarterly desktop backgrounds and smartphone wallpapers are finally out and I have created something this month that I think you will truly enjoy! Let’s celebrate the coming of spring by adding some floral to our smartphones with a dash of wisdom and sass from the great Diane Von Furstenberg!

I have to attribute this wallpaper to a dear friend of mine who turned me on to this quote perhaps a year ago, but it perfectly encapsulates my view on life and why its so important to just put yourself out there and go for your dreams! Clearly there is a lot of that going on here at Charmed HQ, but I don’t have a monopoly on getting things done! You can do it too, so let these wallpapers be a constant reminder for you throughout your day, anytime you check your gadgets, that “Life is very short. Insecurities are a waste of time.”

Here are your desktop backgrounds and tech wallpapers!

2014 Editor’s Faves {Filofax, Gadgets, Blogging & More}

2014 Editor's Faves

With precious few days left in 2014, I thought that it would be most appropriate for me to change-up my monthly favorites post and instead of talking about the things I loved in December, look back over the year and pick out my favorite things of 2014! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, 2014 was a year of great positive change for me and I feel like I have so much to be proud of as I look back throughout the year. It’s not so much physical objects or items that I will remember from this year, but mostly experiences and life changes that will define this time. Of course, there are some physical representations associated with some of these memories, and I can use those to help outline this very special edition of Editor’s Faves for 2014!

Filofax Fluoro Pink Originals with Bows

1. Paper Planners

I discovered and went through multiple paper planners in 2014. First, my Mint Kikki K Time Planner, then the Kate Spade Zip Wellesselly, an A5 Fluoro Pink, a Lavender Kikki K, and finally a Personal Filofax Fluoro Pink! I wrote a lot about planners this year, how to decorate them and make them your own, how wonderful the community for planners online is, various set up posts and videos. Of course, you can go back into my Filofax archives for a read down memory lane!

Apple Macbook Air 11

2. Macbook Air 11”

At the very end of 2013, I purchased my new laptop, Apple’s 11” Macbook Air! It has been an amazing tool for me this year in helping me to achieve my goals and major life changes. It has been a life saver having such a small and portable computer that makes it easy for me to get my tasks complete, my writing in order, and my images edited! You can definitely thank my Macbook Air for awesome projects like my free printables, my tech wallpapers and of course, my Shop!

Canon-EOS-Rebel-T5i-Review-Vogue

3. Canon EOS Rebel T5i and 50mm 1.8 Lens

Another welcome addition to my gadget collection this year was my new DSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i. I have written about this wonderful camera already, but it bears repeating that because of this awesome little tool, I have really been able to bump up the quality of my images, something I really have enjoyed and I know that you have too! Over 4.3k subscribers on Instagram can’t be wrong!

What's In my Bag Pashli

4. Phillip Lim 3.1 Pashli Satchel

This year I made a very large and very symbolic bag purchase to celebrate new success and opportunities to come for me in 2014! You may have seen this bag around, I did do a whole What’s in My Bag style post for it, dubbing it my Blogger’s Bag and I think it has been something of a lucky charm for me. Back in April when I first chose the bag, it was a large purchase, but one I needed to make in order to celebrate how far my blog and I had come and to really mark this time in my life as one where I was serious about my online entrepreneurship goals. A month later I went full-time with my blog, and now as I write this at the cusp of a new year and look back through my stats and my accomplishments for 2014, I know that bag was just a symbol of what was to come!

Planner-setup-2015-6

5. 2015 This Is Your Year Printable

You have probably already seen and downloaded your own free copy of my 2015 This Is Your Year Printable that I made for my personal sized Filofax. It was my new year rendition of a very inspirational 2014 version I had found on Pinterest and had tracked to a wonderful little Philadelphia based design blog called The Atelier. That 2014 image sat front in center in my planner for the majority of the year, acting as something of an inspiration board for my planner, filled with inspirational quotes and a powerful message and challenge that truly felt like it had been created for me! So, for 2015, I dreamed up my own version and bought it to life, and I hope that for 2015 it brings me the same motivation and drive as it’s predecessor! I truly believe that 2015 will be a year of great things, not just for myself but for you as well. So long as we keep a sensible head on our shoulders and our eyes fixed upon our goals, there is nothing we won’t achieve in 2015!

So, what do you say we make 2015 The Best Year of Our Lives? I do hope you’ll join me for the ride!

Best Year of Your Life Tech Wallpapers

Best-Year-of-Your-life

Not only is there a new month right around the corner, but in a few short days we come to the end of another year! What a fabulous year it has been for me! 2014 was filled with so many wonderful changes and exciting new adventures that I just cannot wait to see what 2015 has in store for me. Of course, it is also time for me to publish a new set of tech wallpapers for all your devices (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc)! So, I thought this time around I would design something meaningful to start the year off properly.

My Best Year of Your Life design is a refined black and bone pallet with a straight forward quote front and center. “This is going to be the best year of your life,” and you know what? It will be if you believe it! So, keep that thought at the front of your mind always with these high resolution wallpapers!

You’re a Diamond Tech Wallpapers

Dress Your Tech Wallpapers

True story- these quarterly wallpapers are some of my favorite posts to do for many reasons! First off, I love design, and any excuse to make something pretty and fun in photoshop, well, I’m all over that! Next of course, is the fact that I love my gadgets and enjoy dressing them up in new wallpapers (and cases!) to give them a fresh new wardrobe every once in a while. Lastly, and probably less obviously, I really take creating these wallpapers seriously because I feel as though they can act as a daily reminder, even affirmation, for our lives. I don’t know about you, but the images and messages I choose to create through this wallpapers are pretty powerful to me, and when I think about the fact that my readers are using these and putting them on their phones and laptops and seeing the messages that I have crafted for them, it really makes me feel like I have done something special!

I know I normally like to theme each of these wallpapers to the season, and I thought about doing something with more of a fall color scheme, but in all honesty, I am not into fall colors so much. I find the browns, dark reds and burnt oranges a little uninspiring, so I went rogue and went for a full on color burst this time around, centered around the image of a multifaceted diamond! I feel like I have been seeing diamonds and diamond imagery all over the place lately, and I feel like diamonds can represent so much. I have seen a few quotes about diamonds all over the place also, not just the quote I use “you’re a diamond dear. They can’t break you,” but also “A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well.” I think these are really wonderful quotes with very powerful metaphors that we can use to inspire us in our own lives. So, I sincerely hope you enjoy these wallpapers and that you use them to remind you everyday that you have more strength than you even know, and that it is only with great pressure and under great stress that we can truly transform into something brilliant!
