When you arrive to their site, you are in awe of the breathtaking, endearing photos to the right and soothed by the color palette.  You immediately notice the focus on the photos and the welcome but can easily see who’s supporting the site with the drop down tab at the top. So subtle, yet clear.

I’ve seen a many communities in my day but I have to say, Clickin Moms is quality built, thinking of every kind of photographer.  Once a member, you have access to some of the kindness, most talented women I’ve met.  They immediately make you feel welcomed and even though you might feel a slight bit of intimidation by all that talent, don’t let it scare you. Like Jennifer told me,

“I look back at stuff from even one or two months ago (mostly post-processing, since that is what I will be focusing on) and I can see vast improvement, all kudos to the info and help I’ve received here. Don’t be intimidated and just focus on your journey and learning experience. :o) Everyone was new at some point.”

Those are the kind of people I like to surround myself around.

Not only are there good people at Clickin’ Moms, there are fabulous photo tutorials, challenges, resources for actions and templates, and even a vendor thread just in case you’re interested in purchasing  trendy camera straps or booking a photo session!  The gallery is the perfect, safe place to share your photos.  I love seeing the tweaked photos against the untweaked ones and how, if you are willing, you can see a whole new perspective when someone else plays with your photo.  Honestly there is a wealth of information made available to members that is sure to keep your busy for hours.

Anyone who is into photography should consider becoming a member.  I have no doubt that you’ll enjoy every second you’re there.  All this fabulousness does come with a cost. A cost that is very budget friendly and worth every cent in my opinion. A quick look at price packages:

• 1 Month ($8.00 for each month)
• 6 Months ($30.00 for each 6 months)
• 1 Year ($50.00 for each year)

You can see more options at the site.  You’ll definitely benefit from purchasing the advanced price and that’s what I recommend.  And of course, you can always pay for a month and try it out!

The only flaw I could find were a couple of forum errors. Nothing major at all.  I give this photography community two thumbs up and hope to see you over there!

As I struggle through my weight loss journey, I find that eating healthier is clearly my biggest problem.  I’m constantly on the prowl for recipes and snacks that will fill me up and that are tasty.  If you look around all over the internet, you’ll find a billion places that have gobs of information but I try to find sites that are strictly about a subject and are easy to navigate.   One place I’ve been introduced to is www.wellnessdaily.com.  It’s an online community that shares two common things, wellness and healthy living; something I definitely need to learn about and incorporate more into my life.

One of the first things that I did was check out the healthy recipes they had. I found Taco Salad and Turkey Puttanesca and so much more.  All looked delish and all looked healthy.  I think having a place that I can reference back to for ideas and tips really helps me out. I need my hand held sometimes and sites like this make that possible.

While I was there I also found some informational articles about various subjects like how your body handles sodium and bone density issues.  I was instantly intrigued and found myself reading through several articles.  The community seems to be active and full of information. I really like it.

I recommend you check it out for yourself.  Right now they are having a contest where you have the chance to win a WellnessDaily.com prize package which include coupons for a year-long supply of Jennie-O Turkey Store product and a one-year gym membership, valued at $1,250. WOOT! And to really make it easy, I’m including the tweet here for you so all you have to do is copy and paste into your tweet!

Enter to win $ towards a gym membership & JENNIE-O turkey products. Just follow @wellness_daily & RT this! http://bit.ly/9WAM8X
