General

Why “Giggle&Blush”?

Giggle&Blush are two words that define who I am (in a bit of an oversimplified way); I love to laugh and explore, but I'm also a bit shy and clumsy. Well, my husband will tell you I'm VERY clumsy. Which I won't deny. 

Giggle&Blush is about making mistakes, but finding the comfort in laughing about them. 

What camera do you use?

I currently mostly use my iPhone 5 to take pictures. I use a variety of photo editing programs to brighten and create the picture layouts. 

Can I use your pictures/post ideas?

Yes, but be sure to include a link back to my blog. 

Why don’t you do videos?

I have thought about it. I might do some beauty vlogging in the future. I'd have to get more comfortable with that medium first.
