When ever someone post a MSP edit they are bound to get the "what do you edit with" comment. To me this can be annoying because I have that information in my bio. To some it's annoying because ...well I'm not sure... But they will always reply with something along the lines of "that's none of your business" as if what they edit with is the holy grail that only they use and know about xD Whatever the reason, its best not to pester them. If they want to keep it a secret, let them :]
Anyways, I wanted to make this blog to tell you guys about some app/websites that you can use to make msp edits with! I have no tried all of these myself, but they ones I have, I will try to write a little review of to help you guys decide what editing software is right for you!
I'll be expanding on this list as I find new apps to try.
I only make edits on my computer (now) so that's where I'm going to start. The program I use is called Gimp. Its a free photo manipulation software. Its kind of like a free Photoshop except its not meant to create drawings with. If you really work with it you can make some really cool looking art with it, but its really not made for that :) I have heard someone people saying they got a virus after installing Gimp so please make sure you have a good virus detection software on your computer and only download from the official site.
I have made a couple videos of me using it but none with me really explaining what I'm doing yet. When I make that video I i'll post it here!
Next up is Photoshop! I have no used this program in ages but if you already own it you should 100% be using it to make edits. You really aren't going to get anything better then this.Unless you are made of money I would not go out and buy Photoshop just to make MSP edits. At the time writing this it cost over 300 dollars but you can get it at a discount if you are a student. You can also "rent" it for a monthly fee.
Next up is a website that a lot of people use but I just cannot. Its pixlr.com/. I have tried to use it a couple times and it just frustrates me to no end. There is a very step learning curve when it comes to this website... And maybe calling it that is giving this website to much credit. The controls are wonky and there's no official guide (that I found) that tells you how to do everything. The website is free to use and if you have a few hours (and a lot more patience then i) you can check out this website. I will give it a bonus for not having to be downloaded so its good for people who share a computer/are not aloud to download things!
Now onto the apps.
The first app I used for editing was called Eraser for iOS, If you take your time you can make some decent edits with it. Its very difficult to remove all the background with it but if you take your time you can get rid of most of it. This app also lets you add a background to replace the one you got rid of. (free)
Next up is an app to add text to your edit, that's Phonto for iOS. Like I said before, its mostly for adding text to your images but it also has a few free filters in it as well, (free)
Editing tips:
Make sure your background is not the same color as your avatars clothes. Using a green background will be the best 99% of the time. A lot of apps have a way to get rid of/ replace a green screen automatically.
Only use high quality images of your avatar. It doesn't matter what you do, your edit will look sloppy/rushed if you use a low quality screen shot.
If you use any apps/programs that are not listen below please post them in the comments. Be sure to list what platform its for and its cost.

No Updates
I felt myself getting really sick over a week ago, but like usual, I ignored it. I went to stay at a friends house Sunday-Tuesday and, still I felt myself get worse and worse everyday I was there. One Tuesday my medicine stopped working and I have spend the last three days in bed.
I am use to headaches, as most of you know, but this was more then that. I got sick multiple times a day, my double vision was more noticeable. and I just felt wrong. Even at my worst, I haven't been like that since pre-surgery.
Most of my symptoms are gone now. I still have a crazy headache, and my ears keep popping, but like I said, i'm use to that. I can usually manage to function even with a killer headache.
Sorry for not updating the blog about the current MSP event. I honest do not think I will be, unless I can find it in me to focus and get it down. If you have questions, I can only help for the first two days at the moment, as those are the only ones I have recorded.

New Years Event Guide Part One
2016 New Years Event Guide
For the first time since I've joined we have a surprise event :D Usually we have a few days "warning" with its little icon taunting us from its place in the sun :3
hehe
Like all my guides I tent to make them overly detailed. If you have used MSP for any amount of time the amount of detail may seem silly, but I know when I first joined it was impossible to find any information about MSP- so I want a guide that can help even people who have just joined today!
If you have anymore questions please leave them in the comments below or email me @ Enirhtakb@gmail.com
My Video "guide" : Will be up soon!
Welcome to the New Years Eve party event!
Find five party bombs: Three are on the home page and two are on the game page. If they don't show up just log off for a second :]
This is what the bombs look like
Find your three favorite party Looks and give them a "Love": There are a couple ways to do this. If you have people on your friends list you can open the news and go over to the looks tab and find three looks to love. If you don't you can go to the high scores like, move over the the looks tab and like three of those looks....You can also just go to someones profile and like their looks by again, moving over to the looks tab and finding three of their looks you like :D They do not have the be party related looks.
This is the news and look icon, respectively, Find the news icon under the activities button on the top of your screen!
Comment of your favorite party look: Just comment what ever you like! It can even just be a smiley face.
Party Invitation!
Get inspried by 5 party artbooks and give them a "love": Just go to the artbook section (found in MovieTown and like what ever artbooks you want :D
Make a New Years Eve party invitation Artbook: I always just make a blank artbook then delete it right after, But if you want you can go all out and make the cutest artbook in the world~
Comment of your favorite party artbook: Just like with the look you can comment on what ever Artbook you want with whatever you want. I, again, usually just go with a smiley face.
Let's Dance!
Buy a dance outfit from the Clothing Shop: Buy what ever you want. I know most people just go for the cheapest item in the shop which is current 50 SCs. But I recommend buying something you'll actually use so you don't feel like you've just wasted 50 coins.
Give "love" to three pets: Go into someones room (like mine perhaps~) and click on three of their pets. You can earn 50 coins in my room, which is the current max MSP allows.
Go to a chat room and say "Let's Dance": You can say whatever you want. Usually i'll just go into my room and send out some random letters as the main chat rooms can be a bit slow.
Party Makeover!
Go to the Beauty Clinic and buy yourself some festive makeup: I usually just go with the usually black eye shadow that's 100 coins, but you can buy whatever. I personally wouldn't waste your SCs to make a "festive" look. unless you are rolling in coins
Make a party look and save it: Just save any look. You can just save the look you are currently wearing if you wish. Remember- you can always delete it right after saving it. The even will still count it.
Give 3 autographs: This is the part of events most people hate :] If you are a nonVIP this will take you at minimum three hours. If you are VIP that time will be shorter but how long it takes depends on your level. If you have star it will only take 6 minutes. (or you could just skip it with diamonds)
The autograph button
I hope this helped some of you! Remember to comment if you need something further explained! Or if you don't want to ask publicly you can ask in email (enirhtakb@gmail.com) Or if you use USA msp you could ask on there~

2016 New Years Resolutions/Goals
You guys know I love New Years Resolutions. Obviously, its good to be constantly thinking of ways to improve things all year round, but I really love having one day to really sit down and think things through :] All the other people also making nyr also really inspire me :D
They also help weed out the negative people that you may be following~
First lets look at last years resolutions
The First thing on the list is Achieve splits. That did not happen xD I was really sick this year and didn't get to workout/do as much yoga as I would like to. But that's okay~ I did get close with Blogilates little splits challenge so maybe i'll try that again some time.
Next is "Read more, Watch less" tbh, I've never been a big TV person. I feel like I just put that on my list to look like a ~cool instagram girl~ But I did have a problem with not being able to sleep without a TV on, which I now can do. I have a huge fear of the dark, and I still do to an extent, but its not as bad as it was! I have had a huge problem with concentrating so I didn't read many read books this year. I did read approx 1000 fanfictions though so....close enough.
Now onto my biggest accomplishment: Starting a new project! When I made this I was really thinking about having a blog and starting a Youtube channel. I've had multiple blogs throughout the years but I haven't really stuck with one since I was a kid. This is mostly because i'm a really bad writer and don't leave my house much, so I don't have much to say. If any of you follow me on insta, especially if you have been following since the beginning you can tell my writing has gotten so much better. Its obviously not what I would consider "good writing" but its a lot better then it was. I haven't spoken to my doctors yet so i'm not sure if its changed anything at a deeper level, but it has made a significant enough change that I actually noticed it. And I don't have the best self esteem so I rarely notice improvement in myself/others so the fact that even I have noticed this improvement says a lot to me!
Next is my youtube channels. I've love youtube since the beginning and have been toying with starting a chennel for year, but like I said before i'm quite boring and have low self esteem so I wasn't sure what to do. I don't mind if people know what I look like, but I didn't want my face in videos. Then I discovered ASMR. At the beginning of the year I was not sleeping. From December 2014~Feb 2015 I would fall asleep around 3am everyday. I suffer from cystic acne so this was not good for me. I would have ~ 8 on my face at all time and I just looked really sick. Once I found ASMR everything reset and I have been getting to sleep at a great time ever since. While watching it I noticed a lot of the people just showed from the neck down- so it was perfect for me! I may not be able to be the most active on it, but I do see myself posting/growing this channel for years to come.
Then there was my MSP channel. Again, i'm shy so I don't talk much in my videos, but its been fun having something to make and put out there every week. In the upcoming year I hope to improve both these channels.
Lastly "Be more social" this one was okay. I have really horrible anxiety, to the point where I can barely even read text messages from my Parents/Friends. Although I haven't gotten over that much this year, I have been talking to people more on social media. I try to check all my comments and reply to them where I can. So I consider this one a success...even if its a small one :]
Now lets think of some new ones,
Personally, I try to keep things simple. I get over whelmed very easily so if I made a list of 100 things I would just give up and get nothing done. So what I really like to do is make big broad resolution and then make smaller ones that that will help me achieve said resolution.
Number one: I want to improve my Youtube Channels. I don't have any subscriber goals, those may come later this year, but I just want to improve the quality. For my ASMR channel I really want to purchase a microphone- I know buying things probably isn't a good resolution...but its what I need to improve the channel so i'm putting it down :D
For my MSP channel I want to branch out into more games. I am currently working on a re-branding for it, I just need to good name! I will stick to my MSP roots, but it was created to be a variety channel so I would love to add some variety back into it xD When I first made it I posted my ASMR videos on it but since making a separate ASMR channel I have only posted MSP things.
If I get the nerve to do it maybe i'll ask my friend to start a channel with me. We both love to mess around on the internet and have talked about starting a project together before...so maybe this will be the year I actually do it! I have already proven to myself that I can gather "fans" to something I have made (even if its just a themed instagram account) so my confidence is slightly higher then it has been in that regard. Now I just need to work up the nerve to ask my friend xD
My second resolution is to shop alone. Or at least have the allusion of shopping alone. I'm not sure if other people have this happen, but if i'm even a foot in front of my friends/family when shopping my vision starts to go white. I feel really overwhelmed and scared. I want to try and lessen this effect. When I go shopping I want to try and walk around a store by myself. At the time of writing I have a phone that won't send messages when i'm not at home. If I have my data on it sometimes does, but its not reliable, so I don't feel comfortable being completely alone- but maybe if I switch to a more reliable service I may try and shop completely alone.
Next I need to make a low impact workout routine. I have a hard time doing "hard" workouts. I get a head ache when I run or do Pilates. I do need to speak with my doctors and maybe go back to the physical therapist for a few sessions to find out what can work for me- but I also want to do some experimenting on my own. I try to do yoga but it too hurts my head, plus I find it super boring. I know my sister got me some exercise things for Christmas so hopefully it will be things that help me out with this goal.
That's really it for now...there are other goals I have for the new year but I don't really feel comfortable sharing them just yet!
Some inspiration:
*When thinking of resolutions try to focus on a specific part of your life. Whats happen at school. How are your grade. Are you content. Think about things you would like to "change" when it comes to this aspect of your life. There are a lot of things that are simply out of your control- so try and find one thing that you do have control over and focus your energy into that, instead of running yourself into the ground trying to fix something that cannot be fixed.
*Even if something has been done a million times. Even if its not "unique" its still unique to you. You have never done it. No one has seen you do it. So if there's a project you want to do, a video you want to make, but its been done before, ignore that! Just make what you want to make. Keep in mind you will not make something that pleases everyone. If you goal is to please everyone or make something for everyone, you are probably better off not posting content to the internet.
*I want to challenge you to do something new this year. It can be something big like running a marathon to something small that trying out a new form of entertainment (like listening to a podcast or watching a new genera of movie you've never seen before) Even these small new things can make a big difference in your life.
They also help weed out the negative people that you may be following~

My tips on speeding up MovieStarPlanet
I made an artbook about how to speed up MSP soon after I joined, but it's been awhile since i've posted it so I thought I would update it and post it as a blog and make a video!
I'll be sharing six tips I use or have used to make my computer lag less, especially on MSP
The number one to keep in mind is because MSP is flash website, some computers just will never be able to run it fast. So if you try all these tips out and MSP is still very laggy- you're probably just out of luck, unfortunately.
On to the tips
The one thing that most people know is to turn your friends list off!
Some users call this "going on hide' To do it you need to click the MSP logo in the left hand corner of the screen. Sometimes this doesn't work so may need to log off and on again until it works. The only con to this, is you will not know if you get messages and some members of this site may send you a lot of messages in a row or send your nasty messages if you don't respond quickly. A lot of people put "on hide" in their status to try and prevent this :]
The 2nd things is to Shut down all background programs that you can and make sure MSP is
the only tab open.
The 3rd thing is to never use a constant moving animation on your status, OR after posting your status change your avatar to "stand" but don't save your status again. That way people will still see the animation your choose on your profile, but it won't be slowing down your game.
The 4th and possibly the best tips that is also the hardest for most users to do is make sure you computer is NOT on a wireless connection. I know this is very difficult if
you live with a lot of people or use a laptop but it should help a lot!
5th is to use a different browser. On my computer firefox is the slowest, Chrome is in the middle (sometimes it runs fast sometimes it barely runs at all) and the best is Internet explorer. I know that one sounds crazy, and I honestly never use IE but when i'm on fame boost I like to help myself out, and FF would not run so I decided to try IE and it ran like a dream. Maybe it's becasue I have no add ons on it, who knows. So, if you have IE on your computer, try it out. Maybe you'll find it solves your lag issues!
And my last tip is to uninstall everything that isn't needed or used a lot. Say you have an old game installed that no one has played for months,get rid of it! Clearing up space can speed up everything. You could also just install more ram or take your computer into a professional to have it cleaned up if you have the money. If you share a computer don't do this without their permission and never un-install anything if you don't know what it is.
That all i've got for now! If you know of any other tips that I may have missed feel free to leave them in the comments!
