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

Travels in Bath!

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to visit Bath. I spent about a day and a half in Bath, not enough time to see everything sadly, but I had the chance to see some of the great sights! Bath is great in that it is easy to walk through. Having arrived at the train station, the first stop was the Sally Lunn Museum. Having done my research on the internet, the Sally Lunn bun is very famous in Bath. Every tourist is advised to try one! Five minutes we arrived - the building consists of three levels of dining areas, and there is a museum and gift shop on the lower level. The building itself is quite historic and retains much of its quaint charm. Upon entering, the place is quite busy - we manage to sneak a table in the corner by the window. What is said to be unique about the bun is that it is great tasting as a savoury or sweet dish. Following that, we ordered the smoked salmon bun and the dulce con leche bun. A cup of the Sally Lunn blend loose leaf tea Dulce con leche -

Pokemon Sun

I started playing Pokemon Sun last month and at first, I thought it wouldn’t be as good as Omega Ruby, which I throughly enjoyed. However, I am really enjoying it! As you progress, the story is so interesting and I like how the trials are so challenging. I found Kiawe and Mallow’s trial particularly tough! At the minute, I am about to take on the new Pokemon league (?). I also found a shiny Absol, which was so difficult to catch. A normal Absol was hard to catch in the first place and it took a great deal of Ultra Balls to catch her!
