Now that I’ve lost one cell phone, I’ve decided to switch to using the iPhone full-time. It’s truly amazing how many things this phone can do. Here are a few of my favorite apps (aside from the eBay app, of course!)

Shazam: This is so amazing! I am constantly hearing music thinking, “Who sings this song and what’s it called?!” This program will actually tell you! Start Shazam and hold it up to a speaker that’s playing a song you can’t remember. Seconds later the app returns the song name, album title, album art, artist, and links to YouTube videos!

Ambiance: If you’ve ever tried to work in a noisy environment, you know how counterproductive it can be. If you need some peace, this app is for you. Use it to scroll through several different relaxing sounds like rain, waves, white noise, and more.

Restaurant Nutrition: I’m a bit of a junk food junkie so trying to keep all of the calories, carbs, sugars, and fats straight is really hard. This app helps me like no other! It has a list of almost every fast food chain along with their menu. After you’ve ordered, bust out the app to get the nutrition stats for each item. At the end of the day, it gives you a full update on what you’ve eaten.

Writing Pad: The iPhone’s touch screen now lets you place your finger on the screen and move from letter to letter to “type” easily and quickly. It’s pretty amazing and very responsive. This is one of the coolest apps out there.

iRibbit Plus: This eBay approved app keeps you up-to-date on the items you’re watching. It alerts you via email or text when auction-style listings are ending or you’re being outbid and includes a link to those listings so you can update your bid anytime. Plus, it includes a big countdown clock at the top of each item page so you can see how much time is left. If you don’t want to bid, you can use it to “Buy It Now.”

The eco-friendly pieces featured at the Huffington Post Oasis Lounge during the Democratic National Convention have made their way to eBay! The exclusive Huffington Post Oasis Lounge served as a place for delegates, media and other convention goers to relax and recharge during the convention, featuring a yoga space, work area, Thai messages.

The lounge featured custom-designed furniture from me, Shawn Henderson- a daybed and club chair, as well as a variety of green and sustainable items such as side tables, slipcovered chairs and a sisal area rug—all currently available for auction. The proceeds from the charity auction will be donated to Off the Mat, Into the World, a program that aims to inspire and guide individuals to find and define their purpose and become active in their local or global community in an effective, sustainable and joyful way, through eBay Giving Works.
