I picked up this month’s Seventeen magazine to see Belinda Selene, but was in for a double-extra treat:

K&K have come a long way since I featured them back in the day!

As I progress through my Ph.D., I keep my 📱iPhone📱 on ✈️Airplane Mode📳 more frequently, so I don’t 📴call, text or use wifi.

While I ✨concentrate, I still play background 👂🏽noise, but I don’t always rely on my online📻 🎧music or 🎬videos. Sometimes I also stray away from my own played-out 💽collection…
My DVDs🎥 and digital videos📹 to the rescue! 👌🏽
During my study sessions📚 or school road 🚘trips or any foreseeable 🚀flights, I’d prefer to play a movie straight from my phone without needing an online signal, like some video application programs promise.
Not all of them have worked 🔇offline, though…
M-GO (e.g., 💃🏻Selena🎤)
- Pros: can play online
- Cons: loads⏳ and returns to 🏡home🏠 screen without playing at all offline 👎
Vimeo (e.g., Everything Before Us)
- Pros: sometimes plays online and offline
- Cons: load delays or no-plays from some computer browsers (I have 🌎Internet🌎 🌏Explorer, Mozilla🔥 🐺Firefox, Google Chrome, 🍎Apple🍏 Safari) and phone☎️ app 😁
Amazon Instant Video (e.g., 👙Toned Up)
- Pros: always plays = 😅happy camper⛺️ (hey, maybe I even can watch while camping without wireless connection!)
- Cons: none whatsoever … Sharp, beautiful motion pictures on the screen every single time ~ no loading shown! 👏🏽
After several attempts for the first two apps, I’m still not satisfied with them. Fortunately, Amazon‘s app has consistently come to not disappoint! 👊🏽

I love seeing my fave YouTubers, especially fitness gurus, featured in other mainstream media!
The Tone It Up! girls, Karena and Katrina, who I included in my Top 5 Workout Videos for their Beach Babe DVDs, appear in this month’s issue of Cosmo!
Last season on Bravo!, K&K debuted their behind-the-scenes beach bod documentary, Toned Up, and have been all over the place ~ including TV screens and news stands near you!
