Isn't it true that we often will judge a book by its cover? We've discovered that messaging is way more fun by putting your text on a relevant graphic. Using the free iPhone app Fun Mail, we were even able to send free virtual flowers for Valentine's day! That's not only adorable, but wallet-friendly, too.
3. Charm Him
We all crave the man of our dreams. We may even think we have found him; the secret exists in actually keeping him. The Charm Him app helps you learn how to spark romance and attraction, whether you want to become the girl who can command any room she walks into, snag the one man who has eluded you in the past, or steer your current relationship on your own terms. (We want all of the above!)
