Apple Of My Eye...Hopefully

I wasn't expecting to take a blog break, but my Dell Laptop died on me yesterday. I really can't complain, because I got YEARS out of it. I loved my Dell. I stepped out of my comfort zone and ordered an Apple MacBook Air. It's expected to arrive next week. I've been watching YouTube tutorials via my cell phone on how to use it. Wish me luck! Lol I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on. Upon my return, I'll let you know what sensitive skincare collections worked for me! I'm happy to say there are THREE! I'll also have two giveaways! For other ramblings, follow me on Snapchat (averysweetblog)! In the meantime, I'll have lots of time to take pictures for future posts and maybe get some reading time in. Not having a laptop or being able to blog feels so (not) funny. Lol Love you guys!

    Heh I was wondering if you were on a little blogging vacation last week! We had Apple computers at the college I went too and it's definitely a task trying to get used to all the changes so I'm sure it helps you've been studying up. Plus, the little break to get ahead on future posts ain't always a bad thing! :)

    Aww no sorry about your computer!

    Mine is on it's last legs too I dread the day it will eventually give up. I bought it on super clearance for $300 about 3 or 4 years ago though so I really can't complain, it's more amazing that it's lasted this long!


    Hope you enjoy your new laptop when it arrives!

    Those Dell computers - they don't necessarily set themselves apart at first, but they are sturdy! I have one that I got for university and, although it's slow, it still works after eleven years. It's a shame to hear that yours finally died. Moving to a Mac definitely takes getting used to. I made the switch last year and there are still things I don't love but they absolutely win for portability - so light! - and battery life. I hope you'll love yours :)

    Sorry to hear about your laptop, Kim but on another note, you will LOVE your MacBook! Hubby bought me MacBook pro when we arrived here and the first 2 weeks was so frustrating for me, I had to learn how to use it and everything was new and strange. It's like my first time on a computer. LOL! And now it's just impossible for me to go back using Windows, it's really good! xx

    Bummer about your laptop Kim! You use and iPhone don't you? I don't think you have a problem with the MacBook Air if that's the case. I've been a long time Apple user and I find them so much easier than PCs. Looking forward to your return :)

    Oh, Kim I can share with you your pain. To loose laptop is so hard. Couple years ago mine died too and decided to get new was hard. I know that it will take a time to make friends with new one. It always do, especially when it's Mac. Good luck!

    Awwww man... it really sux when laptops die on their owners like that. Before this current ASUS laptop, I was using a bimbotic pink DELL laptop which also died on me suddenly. That said, it has done its part and I was happy with it. A Toshiba sales assistant once told me that DELL means "don't ever last long". It wasn't that true for me but true for the hubz. It's such courage to take the plunge into Mac. Even though I use an iPhone, I can't handle a Mac well. Both my sisters use Mac and I do not know how to use their laptop and PC. Learning from the videos before your mac arrives is a very smart smooth, Kim. Way to go!

    I feel like I've not been here for a long time and am glad that we are connected on IG too. Been quite bz with lots of work stuff and new house and it really feels good to be ack on blogosphere. Take this opportunity to take a good break away from social media while the Mac arrives.

    Kim, I bought my first Apple laptop about four years ago and I have loved it! Before then, I had a Dell--like you. I was the last Apple "holdout" in our family. :) When I made the switch, I was convinced I'd made the right choice. Enjoy your break! I'm getting ready to take one soon as we will be headed off for vacation. :) Hugs, T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

    Ha, my computer almost died and it's probably on it's last leg to be honest. I somehow revived it. I'm currently trying to find an affordable replacement myself. OMG, I would love to get a Apple Macbook though my programs wouldn't work on it so poo on that. :( I can't wait to see how you love it though. I freak out when I can't access my email for a day...so I know how you feel. *wink*
