I LOVE MY "NEW" PHONE!

How have I used iOS all this time?
Gooooo Droid!

So I received my LG Voyager not too long ago and have been customizing the HECK out of it.
The only thing is..the phone only comes with 170 MB internal memory -.-..
Even old school mp3 players come with larger minimum storage capabilities! (Usually 250 MB..)
So I ended up downloading all these cool home screen launchers, aka customization/themes to make the home screen look awesome, but couldn't keep them cause they were taking up too much space. I also had to run out and buy an SD card for other apps (some apps can be stored on the SD card, but home launchers cannot).
So I searched, and searched for the most lightweight launcher and found..
LIGHTNING LAUNCHER!
It's seriously amazing stuff; if you have an old-school/basic smartphone with tiny internal memory, this is the launcher for you! It is available for free at the google play store and is only 196 KB :)
Even better, it's super liberating cause it has absolutely no restrictions. You can make icons any size/place anywhere/etc.
Not going to lie, for a first timer like me it was pretty overwhelming. But seriously, its SO easy to catch on to! I decided to stick to a simple horizontal scroll layout with the five docks on the bottom. I ended up with:
Beaut.

Isn't it preetttty? 
Hehe. Another great thing about the launcher is that you get to hide bloatware (un-deletable apps) and change icon fonts (I'm using helvetica).

The widget I used on top is Glass Widgets , again free and only ~180 KB; much better than the ugly stock weather widget.

On other things, just purchased two "Focco" bags on eBay.
They are basically bags inspired by Alexander Wang's Cocco/Rocco, but are GUILT FREE aka vegan. They also come with a much smaller price tag. The ones I got are in black with gold hardware and grey with silver hardware:
1. Black/gold 2. Grey/Silver

I got these in two colors mainly because I wanted something with silver hardware, and something that was an alternative to black. I didn't like the black/silver combination because it looked a bit cheap, but the grey looks phenomenal in all the blog posts I've seen about it. I'm not a fan of grey paired with warm tones so the choice only seemed natural. I purchased from this seller, for $31.50.

In closing, a random OOTD from the past week..
Okay, so more like just a self shot.

Awkward smile+glasses+bummy outfit, but the point is the pretty phone! 
Idk why I'm so happy with it honestly lol...Best $20 ever spent?

Just the usual

Happy 2nd day of passion week!

My OOTD for early morning prayer:

Old school dad's polo jumper, thrifted grey denims

Haha, please ignore the blender :P ; that's where I keep it (I do all my blending in my room).
Comfy and absolutely casssssu.

Anyways, I want to go and pick up some magnesium capsules because I think I may be deficient, and I'm running out of B12..I also wanted to pick up some probiotics for a friend who's been suffering from diarrhea (due to IBD), but dang it, I feel so lazy! 
I didn't sleep last night, since it'd entail me possibly being unable to wake up at 4:00 AM for the prayer pickup. I'm trying to regulate my sleep schedule by staying up all day today (SO HARD, ACK). 
Idk, I have to keep myself occupied somehow so I probably will make that trip to the vitamin store. If not, I have two movies lined up (Hotel Transylvania and The Rise of the Guardians). Thinking about it now, I DO have to do laundry..I guess my day is pretty much planned out, huh?

I'm going to force myself to get off of my toosh and out the door, if not for the magnesium, then for the fresh air and a bit of exercise. Living way too sedentary as of late..

Toodles~
