How to get Photoshop for FREE

Photoshop

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is..."What photo editing app do you use?" And to be honest, I can't even pick a favorite because  I use several on a regular basis. And with the variety of phone apps now at our fingertips that create masterpieces in seconds, why not take advantage of those as well? But there's always those times when we've got a great digital photo that we want to tweak, crop, or edit in some way on our computer before printing it or sharing it with others. Unless, of course, we just want to use Instagram filters and be done with it, photo editing software generally costs money.

The good news is,  you don't have to fork over a lot of cash for a monthly Photoshop subscription. Why? Because there is a perfectly good Photoshop version available for editing images and photos that is FREE to use! 

Photoshop

No way!, you might say: Photoshop is not free. But what you may not know is that you can download a perfectly good copy of an older version of the software, CS2, from Adobe without paying a dime. This became available right after Adobe made its software subscription-based, but most people still don't know about it.

So how do you get a free copy of Photoshop? Go to Adobe.com and sign up for an Adobe ID.  Then log in to the site, accept the terms and conditions (that basically says that Adobe doesn't recommend that you download an older and unsupported version of the software). Then search for Photoshop CS2 Download, and choose the language you wish to download Photoshop in.(You may have to scroll down some to find the download for Photoshop CS2).

Windows Serial number: 1045-1412-5685-1654-6343-1431
Mac OS X Serial number: 1045-0410-5403-3188-5429-0639

Even better? Adobe offers the entire CS2 suite for free, including Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign and more.

Yes, it's outdated. Yes, it's unsupported. But if you want this free version, ignore Adobe's warning because people have been successfully running this software on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 since it became available (the CS2 suite is also available free for Mac)

JGOB Blending Sponge - REVIEW

Product: JGOB Blending Sponge

Color: Lime Green 

The JGOB Blending Sponge comes in a fantastic little container with a screw on lid. Its great for taking on the go when you travel. You could probably reuse the container with any of your favorite blending sponges. I was really excited about this one when I got it, in hopes that it would become my new favorite. I must admit I was more impressed with the container than the actual sponge. It seemed to get rough quickly and looks like it may start falling apart after several washes and uses. I have other sponges that I have used much longer and it never changed the way the sponges felt like this one did. It works good, but I don't think I will get as much use out of it as I have other sponges. This one is a little smaller than some, and more narrow, so it does get around the nose and eyes well. I may just save it for blending my concealer! *I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

AYL Bluetooth Headphones Wireless Headphones - REVIEW

Product: AYL Bluetooth Headphones Wireless Sports In- Ear Noise Cancelling Sweatproof Headset with Built-In Mic - High Quality Sound - Lightweight & Magnetic - Maximum Comfort Earbuds

I wasn't sure how I would like these because they look a lot like other wireless earbuds, but I'm gonna be honest... these are fantastic! I have had a hard time hearing any kind of video on my ipad since I got it, and I've tried other earbuds that didn't help much. These had a very crisp and clear sound and it didn't allow much background noise o interfere. They are well made and sturdy, do not tangle, and they ends are magnetic and attach together to keep them around your neck if you're not using them. Also has a very comfortable silicone ear hook to keep it in place while running or working out. Very lightweight and takes up no space at all. Even comes with a little pouch for storage. I highly recommend them!

Evino Shatter Proof Stemless Wine Glasses - REVIEW

PRODUCT: Evino Shatter Proof  Stemless Wine Glasses

Set of 4

Bonus Wine Stopper

We have wood floors and tile, so any time a wine glass is dropped or knocked over it usually shatters. These were exactly as described. Came in a set of 4 with a wine stopper included. Made with clear plastic so they look just like glass. And they are literally shatter proof! We actually dropped one full of water just to see if would break and it didn't even leave a mark! We used them over the weekend for  family BBQ and they worked out great. They are easy to clean and leave no staining. These would also be cute decorated or with a vinyl quote or logo for parties! I wished they weren't quite so high, I would buy a few more sets for get togethers.

ChillOut Stainless Steel Tumbler - REVIEW

Product: ChillOut Life Stainless Steel Tumbler

Size: 30 oz. 

WOW! This tumbler is SO much better than I expected it to be. I got the 30 oz size, and its huge! Big enough to keep a full size soda on ice, or if you're like me...sweet tea! The clear top fits on securely and it doesn't leak. Also has a splash proof sliding lid that is straw friendly. I love that it fits in the cup holder in my car, and that it is so easy to wipe clean!. I did a test with the tumbler before I actually used it. I filled it with ice from my freezer and put the lid on. I checked it periodically, and after 30 hours the ice was finally melted. Who needs a drink to stay cold for more than a day? Not me! So this was more than enough to get the thumbs up from our family. My husband is already trying to steal it!!

Slim Extreme 4D Argan Oil Thermo Cellulite Serum - REVIEW

Product: Slim Extreme 4D Argan Oil Thermo Cellulite Serum
Size: 8.8 fl oz.


I was excited to try this product because, well, who doesn't want to say good bye to cellulite?! This is large 8.8 fl oz bottle that has already lasted quite a while and its not even close to empty! The first thing I noticed about this product was the lovely texture. It was so smooth and silky, it actually felt good on my skin, which immediately felt softer. It has a slight shimmer to it, which makes your skin look smoother too. After just a few minutes you can feel a warm sensation or tingle. You can feel it working to close pores and tighten the skin . The scent is also great! Some of these I've tried I couldn't stand the smell. This is has a mild sweet scent that doesn't make you want to stand far away from everyone. I've used this for almost 2 weeks and applied once or twice a day. Not noticing much long term results, but I will keep you updated on how it's going. So far it gets a thumbs up from me!

I Support Friends Who Sell Stuff

My social media newsfeeds are crammed full of posts about wraps, essential oils, jewelry and leggings, makeup and nails, vitamins, natural skin care products and personal development programs and guess what?

I LOVE IT! It's incredible!! 💜It's incredible!

That means I have so many fearless friends out there who are working tirelessly to provide for their families! Who took a leap and chance on something that quite frankly can be scary! They are busting their butts, putting food on the table, gas in cars, paying for dance lessons and sporting events, funding family vacations and college!

Direct sales isn't easy!! Being an entrepreneur is serious work. You have to be vulnerable and bust your tail. Some months can be harder than others...

Most people give up on themselves and quit long before their success comes. Don't let yourself be one of those people!! Often times the biggest thing holding us back is ourselves.

So, to all you hardworking, disciplined, incredibly determined guys and gals out there working your businesses, KEEP GOING!! Keep posting, keep sharing and keep working that grind! I support you and your dreams!

Want to show support for your friends but don't have money?

THAT'S OK! Did you know that just by liking, commenting, and sharing their posts you are helping greatly? Did you know that hosting a party with most companies is free and takes little time or effort from you, yet generates sales, leads, and potential clients for your friends' businesses? Well now you know! So before you grumble and click unfollow, think about a like or a "hey you are really doing a great job with your business, I'm proud of you" instead. After all, isn't it better to see a friend providing for their family than seeing the endless complaints about bad bosses and hating Monday and mean boyfriends and pictures of hamburgers and other drama? Except for the baby pictures....keep those coming!
