LG Pocket Photo Printer

As someone who really likes to take photos, I quite often never print them out. I was looking for way to print photos instantly, and I had narrowed it down to two options: The Instax Mini 8 camera and the LG Pocket Photo Printer. The Instax Mini 8 camera can be bought with 30 prints for £69.99 in shops and the internet, whereas the LG Pocket Photo can only be bought online. The best price I found was £84 with 90 prints included.

In the end, I decided to go for the LG Pocket Photo. The Instax Mini 8 is a nice idea, but the photos aren't always that nice. The Instax film is more expensive, and when you cannot predict what your prints are going to look like, it is highly likely that some of that film (and money) will be wasted. On the other hand, the LG Pocket Photo allows you to print photos taken on your smartphone or tablet via a Bluetooth connection. You can preview and edit what is going to be printed. The LG paper is slightly cheaper, but the Polaroid Pogo papers are also compatible (I saw a price 100 papers for £19.99 - not bad!)

So here it is, I bought the newest edition of the LG Pocket Photo - the 251.




The printer is small and light, making it easy to carry when you are out and about. It is easy to use - just download the app LG POCKET PHOTO - and you are ready to go. The papers come in packs of ten with a blue card, just simply put the blue card barcode face down and then the papers on top and it is ready to use! The instructions came in Korean but this didn't prove much of an obstacle.

The prints themselves are credit card sized photos. You can also get the sticker papers so you can create photo stickers. As for the print quality: it is ok. When you start, I think the colours look a little blue but as you print more, the color and sharpness of the pictures get better. LG suggest that if you have quality issues, use the blue card before your papers to clean the print rollers.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with this product. I like the portability of it and the control I have over the prints. A lot of features are included in the app, so as the addition of texts, QR codes, frames  and resizes (e.g. 4 photos in one print). It allows you to personalize and socialise, and I would recommend this!

My Little Box May 2015: The Provence Box

I saw adverts for My Little Box on Facebook, checked out its website, and gave it a go! For £11 a month and £3.95 P + P (although I used the SPRINGTIME code to gain free postage for the first box), you receive a box containing beauty samples and products, a magazine, a print and lifestyle items too. I received my first box a few days ago, and was it worth the wait? I am not too sure. First of all, here is the box... Included is a drawstring canvas bag containing the beauty products, a box entitled "Sunny things inside" and the print, dress-up doll magnets and the magazine tied up with a ribbon. One of the beauty products, the shower gel, was already open and had leaked inside the bag, which was annoying. The beauty products are actually small samples, showcasing the best of L'Occitane, a well known and good quality brand. However, most of these products have been given away as a free gift from L'Occitane themselves. You can already get i...

Edinburgh - Eteaket Tea Room and Ibis Hotel

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Luckily for us, the sun was shining as we made our way to the Eteaket tea room on Frederick Street. Eteaket is famed for its teas, and they supply many local restaurants and other cafes. The tea room itself is quite spacious and full of customers, which shows how popular it is. As well as teas, light lunches and afternoon teas are also on the menu; something to suit any occasion. I opted for a high tea, with Royal Earl Grey tea. The high tea is priced at £8.45 and includes half a sandwich of your choice (I had Scottish Ham and Cheddar Cheese), scone (fruit or plain) and a mini cake (I think I had lemon cake). Tea is also included. Eteaket uses loose leaf tea, good quality and better tasting. The waitress also brough a mini timer. When the sands run out, the tea has brewed for long enough and is ready to drink after you remove the filter. What a beautiful cup of tea! The food was tasty and filling too, making it a great value high tea...

Molang!

Recently, I have discovered Molang: a cute fat rabbit from Korea! In Korea, you can get a lot of Molang merchandise, but it is also possible to find some online to deliver to the UK. I have started a mini-collection already haha! Far left is my Molang suction doll, about 13cm. On the back, there is a suction cup, so you can stick him to the window if you wanted to. Far right is my big Molang doll. This is a 25cm plush doll, with a big cute pink bow! The Molang Figure Doll Boxset contains five 3cm Molang figures. This one is the macaroon collection, and all five Molangs are holding macaroons. They like to eat macaroons. Next is the Molang zipped bag. This is about 20cm in length, perfect for make up or small documents. This is the strawberry version, and also contains a Molang charm on the zip! So happy!
