Postcards

I've had a little bit of a late start to my summer travels but it surely I had fun. Not much has happened, but I did have my fun and hope you did too! :)

I'm soo excited about this post because I've been meaning to tell you for so long! If you couldn't tell already, traveling has been/is a huge part of my life. There's so much to see and so little time! One thing to keep in mind, when on the road, it's best to make the most of it- always!

I've done my fair share of travels in groups, but lately its been as a solo traveler. With all the advantages of traveling, of course you miss family and friends. There's so many different ways to keep in touch but now I found a more personal way to keep in touch with loved ones.

Lettr is bringing back the usage of postcards in an all new, modern way. The best part is, you could have a postcard sent within minutes without knowing an address. For me, having Lettr connected to your facebook account is the greatest thing! You enter the name of the person you want to send it to and Lettr will send them a FB message asking them to enter their address. Even if you're getting a card from a (not so secret) secret admirer, your address still stays private from anyone. I've known friends for years but I have no idea what their address is.. sorry!

You start off by selecting a picture for the cover of your postcard. You can choose one already from one saved on your computer, iPhone, iPad or even take a spontaneous one (always the best). Then, you can add a caption,short message, and even add your location. At before choosing your recipient, you can manually sign your postcard. There's nothing better than your customized postcard to be finished off with your signature.

Once your card is processed, Lettr will message the recipient with a message like the following. All they have to do is follow the link, enter their address and voila. The postcard is on its way!
Message sent to recipient 
It's as simple as that. Even better when the price it's for a low price! Lettr is being generous enough to provide a couple of my readers a free postcard! Click here to try it out for yourself! :) Send me snaps of your postcards, I'd love to see them!

Postcards are not only a great way to keep in touch with loved ones, but also to share those memorable trips with them. I personally cannot travel back home without buying my mom magnets to add to her collection and buying myself a souvenir which are postcards. I always buy postcards and write short messages on my experience. It's something I've done for a while and it's nice to look back at them. Maybe one day I can turn that into a project and show my grandkids in the future, but for now I'll keep them in a safe place with my travel magazines :)

My family and I had gone on a hiking trip so I sent a Lettr postcard to us

iPhone Diary

Hey guys!

I was thinking of doing things differently in this post. We all know the saying, "a picture says a thousands words" and I couldn't agree more. Don't you think? I may not be a professional photographer or a photographer at that but, I love taking pictures. Some of the best pictures are the ones unexpected! 

I love looking back at pictures from vacations because not only is the scene captured, but some emotional feeling too. I take pictures because I have a certain feeling at that particular time and place. Some pictures may not do all it's justice, but it certainly brings you back to that exact moment in time.

Anyway, I'm deciding to do my first iPhone diary. No need for explanation or story behind the pictures. Just pictures (a video or two too). Enjoy!

Much love,
Lesley Ann

P.S. Stay tuned for my next post. It'll be something in store for you! :)

Las Vegas bound!

It's time! It's finally time to start my travels of the summer and racking up my miles. First stop - Sin City Las Vegas!


Last year, I traveled to Las Vegas for a girls week long trip. Since it was my first time there, I can see how it's the entertainment capital of the world. Also, gambling and marriage capital of the world. Oh boy!

This time around, I'm headed to Sin City for a couple of days for NKOTB concert but of course, I have to take advantage of the hot, hot sun and pool time! 

It'll be a short trip but definitely worth the fun/sun burn.. Haha

Time to board my connection from Denver to Vegas! Woohoo! 😁

Much love!

Birthday at Starved Rock

                        
Ahh, yes. The big 2-4. Yikes! I wanted to do something totally different this year when celebrating the big day. Previously, to celebrate, I've gone to Spain and Morocco, weekend extravaganzas in the city, and shopped till I dropped. This year, I wanted to get in touch with nature so I headed to Starved Rock :)
