Photoshop Express: A Life Changing Photo Editor
As a photo editing/manipulation wiz, I often get asked to edit peoples’ photos. From now on, my response to “Amy, can you just quickly make this photo brighter?” my answer is two simple words. Photoshop Express. Many photo editing apps that I have tried are displeasing and don’t work the way I want them to. After…

Holiday parties are one of my favourite events of the year as they are synonymous…
Five Obscure ’90s Christmas Specials You Might Remember
If you grew up in the ’90s with a VCR, there is a strong likelihood your parents have a collection of VHS tapes with made-for-TV specials recorded on them for each occasion.
