In an ancient courtyard in China at the Tai Hi Home, two masters of Tai Chi taught our group of 5 women the fluid artist movements of Tai Chi. Mandarin Journeys hosted this inspirational morning, while we watched in quiet respect of these two masterful masters of Tai Chi.
Riding with the top down, whether it’s a Mustang convertible or on a motorcycle, is one of my favorite ways to experience a city. But a Vintage motorcycle sidecar? That’s one to top the bucket list, and exploring the busy city of Shanghai , China, riding a vintage motorcycle sidecar, well, totally priceless, and how I began my journey embracing the culture of China.

I love taking photos on the go, and from my Facebook feed, I can say most everyone enjoys sharing their photos. From capturing that magic moment when traveling with the grandkids to our recent “adult” kids’ travels celebrating one of our daughter’s 30th birthday in Portland, magic moments happen everywhere. We’re snapping pictures and sharing via social media, from Instagram to Facebook, and sharing digitally. More often than not, we capture an amazing photo – but it simply fades away, stored into the backdrop of social media. Enter a whole new way to get social: Photos on the Go Instantly Framed.
Say hello to InstantlyFramed, a new app that takes your Instagram photos, and creates lasting memories to in a framed print mailed to your home. InstantlyFramed is a really easy app to use to convert your digital photos from Instagram, Facebook and/or your iPhone/iPad camera roll.
Currently, InstantlyFramed is only available in the Apple store, so I wasn’t able to use it on my Samsung 5 phone. Therefore, I downloaded the Free App onto my iPad. Then started surfing my Instagram and Facebook photos. Remember that amazing Portland trip with my adult kids? In the midst of my social sharing was a great photo of me and m two oldest daughters. This is just the sort of photo that gets lost in the timeline of social media.
I clicked on the app, selected the photo below (From Instagram) – and believe me, the hardest part was deciding WHICH photo.
