It’s really like a four-in-one Photoshop action, because this single action will create a variety of different soft tones that can be mixed and matched to your liking. It also includes a nice crisp black and white portion – all in one easy to use action! Continue reading “Download a Free Photoshop Action!”

I was recently contacted by Sleeklens and asked if I would like to try out their Portrait Perfection Collection set of Photoshop actions. I’m not a big actions user. For portrait work, I kind of have my workflow down, and I know my way around Photoshop, so if there’s a look I want, I can pretty much make it happen. And honestly, in the past, I’ve tried some actions and wasn’t all that impressed.
But I love trying new things, so I agreed to do the review. I really went into this with an open mind.
[Sleeklens provided me with these actions in exchange for an honest review. Complete disclosure information can be found here.]

Heashots ~ If you’re like me, the thought of finding a photographer and having headshots photographed is a challenge. Will it be expensive? Will you actually LIKE how you look? And will you get all the files you need with the permission to us them as you choose? If you’ve got a DLSR camera and a nice lens or two, or a friend with the gear, wouldn’t it be great to be able to tackle this yourself?

I live right smack dab in the middle of suburbia, so it was fun to drive less than 3 miles from my house yesterday and be on a ranch. It felt being out in the country!
I’m just starting to go through these files, but here are a few for now!

The first time I tried a muffin in a mug, I was mesmerized. How could I be this old and not have known about them? I’ve made all kinds – and they turned out sooo many different ways. Some were too eggy, some were too dense, some were not sweet at all, but some were deliciously sweet but oh-so-unhealthy (sweetening with a big enormously overflowing tablespoon of Nutella was yummy but yikes!). Then I read Trim Healthy Mama, and learned about some great alternatives to my Nutella a.m. (and sometimes p.m.) indulgence. I also became much more adventurous in the kitchen.
This can be a bad thing.
Or this can be a very, very good thing. And in the case of my Coconut Macaroon Muffin in a Mug, I happen to think it’s a good thing. Cake like. Sweet. Coconut goodness. If you’re following THM, this is an “S” muffin.
As soon as it comes out of the microwave, I dump it out on a plate, slice it down the middle, and smear a laughing cow cream cheese wedge on it.
It’s almost like cake for breakfast, yet without the sugar cravings that normally come along with eating actual cake for breakfast. Yes. I’ve done that. Not proud. Please tell me I’m not alone…
If you try this recipe, please come back and let me know your thoughts! Enjoy!
