I have always loved birthdays, not just mine but the birthdays of all my dear friends and family too. It’s always a great day to have a party and to be surrounded with loved ones to celebrate life. But this year I was so sick on my birthday that I couldn’t even think about celebrating. Then… last week, I got the most amazing healing gift from my lovely family from Arizona: a box full of LOVE.

Hipstamatic takes great lomo effect photos. It comes with 3 virtual lenses, flashes, and even different types of film. You can post photos to Facebook, Flickr, email, or even order prints right from the app. Instant gratification of seeing the photos within seconds + the $1.99 price = me loving it.
