How would you like a program that is simple for you to use but still gives photos high quality looks. Nevercenter brings you to the power of editing photos with ease, with CameraBag 2.

"With CameraBag 2, you don't have to know what look you want to get started. CameraBag 2 lets you see all the possibilities at once: old-school instant film or modern high-contrast portrait, subtle color adjustment or complete artistic overhaul. Choose from side-by-side comparisons with the fullscreen Quicklooks, or get large, instant previews on mouseover; the emphasis is on creative exploration. Once you've chosen a filter, its components are all in the tray to tweak and adjust non-destructively with large, interactive sliders. The Remix slider in particular brings back the "happy accidents" of analog film, smoothly transitioning between infinite natural variations for each style."

Key Features

- Choose from 100+ built-in styles and filters, or create and share your own.
- Full suite of 25+ manual photographic tools including advanced curve editors.
- Stunning new interface.
- State-of-the-art image processing via the all-new Analog Engine.
- Add any look you create to the toolset as a fully-adjustable filter.
- 32-bits-per-component color depth.
- Non-destructive editing (active history).
- Easy layering of styles and adjustments.
- Quicklooks and hover previews for visual decision-making.
- The Remix slider, which smoothly transitions between endless variations.
- Large, precise controls.
- Laptop-friendly design.
- Batch saving.
- RAW format and metadata support.

So how easy it is to use? VERY! You simply load the photo you want to edit and you can quickly select from the many style options they have created or you can mix and match however many styles you want! This program is able to help you get the look that you want from your photo with ease.

Here is a picture that I made with CameraBag 2:

This picture has the following different effects:
Contrast
RGB Curve
Color Corrector
Saturation
Discolor

And I made this with only a few clicks! It is easy to deselect effects that you don't find flattering as well. Each one has an X that you can click and it will erase that effect. With CameraBag 2 you can see your photo side by side with the outcome of the effects placed on it in full screen Quicklooks mode. You can crop and resize just like normal photo apps, but go wild with your imagination and with the effects! CameraBag 2 retails for $29 for PC or $24 for MAC.

This is the perfect gift for your favorite photographer in the family, or even the novice. With easy to control sliders for each filter you will get the look you want without the hassle of having to understand codes or make layers. Take the guess work out of editing and just get to the point with CameraBag 2! Turn those graduation, wedding or even birth photos into works out art your family will cherish for years to come.

Move Over Other Anti-Aging Treatments, Let #EclosBeauty Help Your Skin

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

éclos Skin Care is a fantastic skin care line that is unlike any other! The ingredients in eclos are mostly plant based, with vitamins and more. One of the most interesting ingredients is Apple Stem Cells. These products help to minimize your fine lines,wrinkles and also tired skin, and boy does this mom have tired skin.
The products I was sent to be able to try were the following:

• éclos Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser Skin Prep:

A facial cleaner that also contains a high dose of apple stem cells which were extracted from a rare Swiss apple. While lathering this on your face it helps remove your makeup and other items that stick to your face throughout the day. It is also formulated to help prep your skin for the rest of the treatments. I found this to be a very good cleanser and it left my skin feeling smooth with no harsh side effects at all!

• éclos Anti-Aging Cellular Activator Face Serum:

Natural facial serum that contains the rare Swiss apple. The lightweight serum helps to nourish your skin cells helping their ability to function just like younger cells. It also promotes your collagen production and this stimulates the growth of connective tissue, resulting in a more younger looking skin. Your fine likes and wrinkles are also reduced in appearance by this serum. When trying this serum out I was really impressed by how light it went on and soaked right into my skin. My skin wasn't very sticky after words and as this being the base for the other products I am very happy to say it felt like I could build things upon it without it being to much.

• éclos Anti-Aging Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream:

First mass moisturizing cream that contains the rare Swiss apple. Helps to revitalize your skin stem cells, tighten your skin and slow the signs of aging skin. After putting the cream on and letting it dry I could notice the difference in the tightening of my skin right away. It didn't feel overly tight either, just right enough to notice a difference and it left my skin feeling quite smooth again too. You use this daily morning and night and just apply it over the serum.

• éclos Anti-Aging Restorative Eye Cream:

This eye cream is all natural with the same Swiss apple that is in the previous products. Helps to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area. As well as moisturize your eye area. To use you simple gently pat under and around your eye area daily morning and night. With being next to such a delicate area I was worried about there being stinging or irritation. Thankfully I had no side effect at all and it made my eye area feel nice and smooth.

• éclos Anti-Aging Instant Radiance Facial Scrub:

This facial scrub helps to remove your dry dead skin cells while it exfoliates. Evens out your skin tone and texture as well as bring radiance to your skin. It prepares your skin for the rest of the treatments as well. This you only need to use once every other day BEFORE using the treatments. The scrub is just small enough to work but not to be too rough on the skin. I have sensitive skin and was able to use this with no problem.

• éclos Anti-Aging Skin Renewal Clay Mask:

An all natural clay mask that restores smooth youthful skin as it cleans and absorbs unwanted items on your skin and clears your pores. If you have big pores like me this is the product for you. It helps to tighten your pores and minimize their appearance. I didn't notice a big difference in change with the size of my pores but I did notice how clean they were after using. This is to be used twice weekly and left on for 5 to 10 minutes.

Since using these products I have notice that my skin is much smoother and my pores stay cleaner longer. My skin is becoming more even and the texture is fantastic! I am able to give away the same package of products that I received! One lucky winner will be receive it, please fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter and leave a comment stating which product you are most excited to try!

#gifts4mom Gigi Hill Mother's Day Event Sponsor Barbra Handbag

Recently I have been getting rid of some old purses that are broken, or I have gotten bored with them and I donated them. I had trouble searching in stores for something that I really liked. All the colors, styles and patterns seemed to be the same things I had already bought before. Nothing really spoke to me.
Along came Gigi Hill. A fashion forward handbag company that sells luggage tags, weekenders, clutches. The founders of the company are two women who like me wanted a better bag and they wanted a career that would like them spend more time with their family. The spring collection is crazy good with animal prints, bold tribal, and ocean-inspired prints. 

My favorite thing about the company is that you can choose your handbag and then choose the print you want as well. You are not forced to have a print pushed on you you choose your own style. Their very fashion forward designs and go with the current trends, so won't see repeat patterns every year! Every pocket has a purpose in each bag. When a bag is designed by a mom she knows the room that you need and pockets are not shorted in every bag!
Gigi Hill Barbra handbag retails at $92. I made a video so you can see it used in action and see it in all it's glory!

You will be able to win one during the Mother's Day Event starting May 1st!
