My DIY Romantic Star Projector kit

DIY is just short for "It's cheaper to send them all the parts to put it together themselves" when you're buying from China. Or maybe any kind of DIY kit. Anyways! My Star projector came in the mail last night! My mom and I spent a good thirty minutes getting it together. Then taking it apart, then putting it together. I didn't have enough time to get photos and blog about it last night, but after painting today I pulled out the tripod for some photos.
Don't know what I'm even talking about? I think I just assumed you all did. I guess it's self explanatory, but a photo could help, too.

See how awesome it is? I've barely kept the lights on since I got it. I even took a starry shower last night.
First off, I do recommend this starry beauty. It's only $22 at Infmetry. When I saw it I decided it needed a spot in my room and bought it immediately.

Things you should know:
- When shipping says 9-18 days, it MEANS 18 days. If your gifting keep that in mind.
- The directions are in Chinese. Luckily, pictures can (for the most part) help you through it.
- The shiny side goes on the OUTSIDE. ( Don't put it all together and have to take it all apart like I did)
- It's easier (although it doesn't look as clean) to put the tabs on the outside. When they're on the inside, their shadows can't be adjusted. (also, do this first time around)
- This thing has no bottom. All the wires and junk are fully exposed.
- You can battery power it, or use the adapter it comes with. It is brighter with the adapter.
- I haven't had it anywhere but my bedroom and other smaller rooms in my house, but It doesn't look like it will project on large rooms.

Don't let these things change your mind. Here are some pictures to make you fall in love.

I've spent my time picking out the constellations. (Or looking at the ones they've drawn out for me) So far I love it. If I come across any defects I'll update. Any other questions, just ask!

The Pop-up Flash Bounce

 Hey Photographers!

My Pop-up Flash came in the mail this morning. I only just got it about.. an hour ago, and already I am in love with it. No kidding. I could sit here and talk about it forever, but I have a blood drive to get to, so I'll just show you. No editing is done to any of these pictures. In my excitement, I forgot to take three of each, but I think you'll get the idea. 

 

This last photo of the necklaces was taken in my dark closet. I was curious how well it would work, and it obviously worked fantastically. I can't wait to have more time to play with this. I will finally use my flash proudly. Head over to Photojojo to get yourself one! They're only $30. And Photojojo has Awesome customer service if you need any help.
Happy Thursday Everyone!
Off to a Blood Drive, then Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 at midnight.
