I love recording random videos on my iPhone and I was excited when I discovered the Super8 video app! The app is free for a limited time and promotes Paramount Picture's film "Super 8" which premiers on June 10. The app has some awesome video features and can't wait to use them!
The iPhone App Store description says, "Using Super8 you can make your own vintage movies and add lens, filter and shake effects, arrange clips and scenes the way you want them; you can even add your own credits."
Here is a quick video I did at Pike Place Market a week and a half ago to test out the app!
Got any movie ideas? Let's make a video together! :)

Celebrating 4sqDay as a Seattle Tourist
This past weekend was too much fun! I booked my stay at the Inn at the Market (@innatthemarket) for the weekend of April 16 not realizing it was also 4/4^2/2011 aka Foursquare Day (@4sqDay/@4sqSea)! How perfect was that?! Because of course I was planning to attend Seattle's 4sqDay celebration at Gordon Biersch! Meant to be! I arrived at the IATM around 12:30 pm and the gentleman who took my car was super friendly and the ladies at the front desk were so warm and welcoming! I also showed them my check-in and received a gift! 4sqDay was already off to a great start, plus I unlocked my 4sq 2011 badge for that check-in too! They handed me the keys and I was off to room 711. I opened the door, walked in, and was blown away! Did I really win a complimentary one night stay here?! The room was both cozy and spacious. While checking out the view, I felt like I was in another city seeing 1st Ave through one window and Elliot Bay through another. The city was alive during this partly sunny day and I loved the energy! After taking pictures of the room and putting away my bags, I headed over to Pacific Place to meet up with Jen (@JenerationY) for 4sqDay!
4sqDay Seattle was packed with Foursquare users! I didn't even get a shirt! I was so sad because I really wanted one and was hoping to win one during the raffle. It was nice to chop it up with some peeps and tweeps but Jen and I left the event early and we gave our raffle ticket to our awesome friend Akvile (@hyph_en). About half an hour later, she tweets us asking who had ticket #64 and it was me! Whoo-hoo! I won a gift certificate to Blue Star Cafe & Pub! It's definitely always exciting to win! #allidoiswin
After going around to a few places downtown and with Jen ousting our friend Andy as the Nordstrom Rack mayor, we decided that it was pretty much mandatory to celebrate 4sqDay to the fullest! So we decided to play tourists in our own city and go to some Seattle hot spots! It was totally appropriate for the weekend too because we were staying at the Inn that night which is kind of funny because Jen lives literally two blocks away, haha! And so we went around, asked around, and had so much fun venturing through the Emerald City! Here are some pics!
After a fun weekend of living it up in downtown Seattle as tourists, I must say that it really did feel like we were just visiting! Seattle had lovely spring weather and Pike Place was very lively that Sunday morning! After checking out of the Inn, we went to breakfast at Local 360 in Belltown then went to Zumba at Twice Balanced in the U District and then stopped by Ballard's Sunday Farmers Market. What a feeling good, feeling great kind of weekend! We love you Seattle and we would definitely want to come back again! ;)

#winning #allidoiswin
Last night I went to Spring Fling Seattle at the Broadway Grill and had a great time! My room is still a mess from cleaning out my closet and sorting through clothes to figure out what I wanted to donate to Seattle Goodwill. It was fun seeing and meeting fellow tweeps of Seattle, and learning about Urbandipity, Wishpot, and Viva La Vida! The venue was cute and the food was delicious and free! I also tried an Effen Cherry Cosmo made with Effen Vodka and it was very tasty as well!
Highlight of the night was #winning! I brought my friend Sherrina to the event and it was her first tweet-up and she and I both won raffle prizes! Hayyy! She won a bottle of Bluewater Organic Vodka, who knew that an organic vodka existed?! I won a complimentary one night stay with one guest at the Inn at the Market and $50 to Pintxo in Belltown! I am stoked about my winnings and need to plan on who to bring and when because it's only valid for the month of April. This is the second time I've won something at a tweet-up, whoo hoo! Jen and I have been to so many and somehow get lucky. *knock knock* I'm glad Sherrina enjoyed her first tweet-up, I need to rally up some more tweeps and bring them to fun events like this one! Thanks to all the sponsors who put this event together!

#SpringFlingSEA
Tomorrow is Spring Fling Seattle at the Broadway Grill!
Details & RSVP here: http://twtvite.com/springflingsea
Charity: Seattle Goodwill! I am definitely going to clean out my closet tomorrow so I can give back. I usually have a hard time with this because there's always the "you never know, I might wear this again" thought lurking in my head! But then I remember that the last time I wore this shirt was 3 years ago and I'm sure someone else out there would love it!
It's going to be a fun night! I'm also bringing my friend Sherrina (@SherrinaMS) to her first tweet up! Can't wait to welcome spring and meet some awesome tweeps! :)
See you there!

New Found Love: Zumba
Today Jen (@JenerationY) and I finally went to our first Zumba fitness class at Twice Balanced after purchasing a deal on Living Social back in September! It was SO much fun and just what I needed (especially after the Husky lost). I didn't know what to expect for Zumba but I loved it and it made me miss my dancing and stepping days! Our teacher Christy has such positive energy and a colorful spirit about her! You can tell she loves what she does and she makes class so much fun and makes everyone feel comfortable while whippin' out those dance moves! The music lifts you and your body just easily moves to the beat while getting a good workout. You just move to feel-good music and everyone is into it. All you see are smiles everyone's face even while breakin' a sweat! We are excited to go again next Sunday! Try it!

BOW DOWN TO WASHINGTON! PAC-10 BBALL CHAMPS!
We played Arizona for the Pac-10 Tourney Championship on Saturday and won 77-75! One of the most intense games I've watched! I wish I could've been at the Staples Center. Please believe my heart was racing and beating so hard, I was jumping and screaming like no other! Just watch this clip and you will know why! I get goosebumps every time I watch it, what a sweet victory. Congrats to Isaiah Thomas and the Husky basketball team! Raise the Roof!

Fit February: Sassy Fit
Today I went to my fourth Sassy Fit methods class* (formally known as boot camp). I've also attended one boolates** session and each class has left me sore, but the good kind of sore of course! Burns so good! I'm always introduced to a different kind of exercise especially when using the bands and I take notes so I can do them at home! It's a fun work-out environment: the music is great (at the beginning she played "Who's that Chick"), the instructors are
