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!

Morrisons Gingerbread House

We recently got one of these Gingerbread House DIY sets from Morrisons, which looks very Christmassy. The photo on the box looked very impressive, I doubted I could recreate this look! …And despite my efforts, I could not! I tried my best! Included in the box are the gingerbread, plastic tray, packet of white icing and assorted sweets for decoration. The icing is already pre-made but requires you to massage it for 1 minute to soften it. However, I needed longer than this because the icing was still too hard. The gingerbread house comes in six pieces which are assembled with help of the plastic tray and some icing. This was fairly easy to do! The gingerbread smells delicious that I have to impose some self-control and not eat it… The tricky bit (and messy) was decorating the house. I found icing was difficult to do – sometimes it was too hard to get out of the bag, and sometimes it would not stick to the gingerbread itself! Trying to ice the windows and doors was a nightmar...

Edinburgh - Edinburgh Zoo

Edinburgh Zoo is a short bus ride from Princes Street. We arrived nice and early in order to maximise our animal-seeing time. Admittance is £16.50 for adults. There are plenty of animals to see, although sadly we didn’t get to see all of them! The orangutan enclosure was closed for medical reasons and the Sumatran tiger was hiding from us! Zebras Koala Bear Edinburgh Zoo is the only zoo in the UK which plays host to koala bears and giant pandas. There are currently four koalas. Hello Tian Tian Tian TIan with her bamboo It was recently revealed in the news that Tian Tian is pregnant, so the zoo had warned that visitors might not be able to see her. However, Yang Guang will be encouraged to come out for regular feedings. For the pandas, you have to book a viewing slot. During our viewing slot (about 11am), Tian Tian was sat with her back to the visitors eating bamboo. She reached to the side table for more bamboo, nearly losing her balance in the process. Eventually,...
