Catching up: Part 1 Lime’s Birthday

Ohhh, it’s been quiet around here, hasn’t it? Hope you all haven’t deserted this little place just yet. 🙂

So what have we been up to? Lime has been keeping us busy, learning new words every day, loving the swings and slides in the park and having play dates with her friend Aiden.Me, I’ve kinda got sidetracked back in I think May or whatever when my desire to watch Brokeback Mountain again took over and after I’ve watched it I got carried away with things related to it. I don’t think I’ve ever read as much as I did in the past few months :s

There are a few events I have to catch up on: Lime’s birthday in August (this one), our visit to Brighton and the Paralympics… I hope to have them all up by the end of the week. (Ha, here’s to wishful thinking.)

Remember last year, we had some friends and my family around for a picnic in the park. This year, we did almost the same thing but with different guests.

Jenny, Nicki and Uncle Michael
Lime had fun at the swings, wearing her Lime-dress, just like last year
The children had some fun of their own…
‘The Gay Kite’

The day was beautiful and we had lots of fun eating sandwiches, home baked cake and playing Crazy Golf.

This would be me, trying to avoid the sun
The husband, his parents and grand-parents, Jenny, Nicki and random people. Lime’s friend Aiden and his mummy are just out of shot
Tiger Woods, eat your heart out!
Friends. Lime & Aunty Jenny

After the crazy golf we went to the Castle where for four Sundays in August one can enjoy some outdoor music. Here’s us, doing just that.

We had a lovely day. The weather was perfect, the food was good and plenty and the company was wonderful. Thank you to all who came and/or sent cards. 🙂

Ideas for a Debutante Gift

My sister is turning 18 a couple of months from now and as early as now I am thinking of something to give to her as gift. My sister, her name is Delaavin, is not that keen to receive gifts. She is a shy girl nuy with a great heart. She loves her cats. She actually owns seven of them, most of which are stray cats she found by the streets. She is also a very noble and obedient kid. I remember when we were in grade school; she always waits for me when I tell her to wait for me by the court so we can go somewhere before going home. She also told me about her crush when she was starting in the fifth grade. At first I was annoyed but eventually, when she keeps on insisting we talk about her first crush, I just give in because I know I her only friend. Anyway, my friend suggested that I can give her a bag or some cool clothes but I guess she is not keen about them. She is such, a simple girl, and my litter sister. As I was scanning through the internet last night, I stumbled upon this shop which sells wooden watches I was completely awestruck I finally found the gift that if perfect for my sister and I can’t wait for the gift to arrive just in time for her bash.

Facial skin friendly product

No product has ever been important to me as this Vitamin c serum for face has been… Yes, this particular vitamin C serum is incredible for my face and I want to use it forever, and I don’t think that it is necessarily a bad thing or anything like that, to be loyal to a brand or product, but I also do think that sometimes people put too much value in it or become too dogmatic towards their products, or too dependent on the moving, but this is not something that I feel dependent on, it’s something that is helping me find who I used to be before the effects of agent had made me feel bad about myself. No it doesn’t like turn me into something else, it’s not something that I’m saying allows me to be more than myself, it is literally something that gives me the privilege of feeling good about being me, like I used to be, before I started being full of wrinkles and discoloration in my facial skin, which is just made me so self-conscious and socially awkward and giving me such a hard time, and not to mention been disastrous for the health of my skin. I didn’t realize how unhealthy my skin was, but now I do.

 

I Found New Great Camera Filter

You know, it wasn’t that long ago that it was hard to find a good stock photo. Now, there are still a lot of bad ones, but it is easier than ever to find good stock photography, and a whole lot of that stock photography comes from cell phones. And other mobile devices, of course. I think that that is absolutely bizarre. I think that it’s amazing that people can take as good of a photo with their phone as some people can take with professional equipment, or even better. Some of the most popular photos these days come from mobile devices, and some of the most intensely Superior stock photography sites use cellphone photography as well as typical camera photography, whereas some only use mobile device photography, and it is impressive. You wouldn’t even know that those photos were not taken on a high-level camera. But, I guess that’s the thing, is that cell phones are now high level cameras. I know that I use mine more as a camera than I do as a phone. Add a camera filter and you’re set! Very rarely do I actually speak into my phone. I’m more want to play games, type emails, and play music, and, you guessed it, take pictures. The thing is, I know I’m not the only one. I’m not a weirdo for not using my phone very much as a phone.

Amazing Amazon

Specifically, Amazon Prime Canada has a lot of Canadian music, in English and French, and even sells musical instruments. As I said, Amazon Prime Canada offers unlimited photo storage, which I think is amazing, through their service Amazon Drive. I think that Amazon Drive is incredible, and this photo and drive section also offers free apps which is really interesting. So, you can also stream movies and television shows, as well as purchase movies and television shows, as well as purchased Blu-rays, and scanned through new releases and even future releases, and of course, as is the theme with Amazon Prime Canada, all of this is available in both English and French. It made sense that I’m is on Prime was going to extend into the world of ebooks, but their Kindle services are top-notch. Honestly, they offer all sorts of different Kindle platforms, and resources, more so than any other shop that I know of. But, this is when it becomes something totally new. Is that Amazon these days is also serving to shop for all source of everything you might need around the house. I’m talking about Electronics, audio visual equipment, cameras and camera accessories, cell phones and cell phone accessories, all sorts of things. I mean, you can even get Bluetooth headsets and headphones. Top-of-the-line stuff, you stuff, affordable stuff. It’s all available through shopping on Amazon Prime. So if you can wait up to two days, or if you’re in a city you’ll never have to wait that long at all, you never have to leave the house to go shopping for a new laptop a new tablet a new desktop, anything.

A value for money

 

I know, I used to be skeptical too, I really was, I promise that I really had a hard time accepting this, I’m not unlike you, and I am I’m not unlike the mass amount of people who do not believe in the healing energy of the jewelry and type of things that are offered on juju.com, but what I’m saying is that if you are a cancer patient, there is no better gifts for cancer survivors, there’s no better Breast cancer gifts, then things which actually give the value, and provide the emotional support, and the physical manifestation of things like compassion and care and feeling and empathy and sympathy, all of these amazing, powerful things, the fact that you can offer protection with the purchase of a simple stone, the fact that you can R Tranquility around your neck and cultivate these positive experiences within your daily experience as you move forward in your recovery, rather than staying stagnant in it, it’s so empowering. Yes, it is so unbelievably empowering, the fact that we can do this, the fact that we have the ability to cultivate these things that can help us to recover. Trust me, you would have to be a fool, it’s common sense, you would really have to be a fool to believe that somebody in a negative point of you will recover as quickly as somebody who is seeing the positive, and who’s being proactive in their recovery.  That is why depression is an issue, and depression is also such an issue, because people feel so helpless common their helplessness perpetuates the depression that is causing the helplessness, and it really a vicious cycle, and often.

The Best BBQ Party Ever With Comfortable Seats

My dear friends!

Last week we visited the region, which is one of the most beautiful countryside in the state. The reason why we came there was a BBQ party of my lovely friend Julia. I haven’t seen have for years and, so it was also a great opportunity to have some chat; to learn how things are going with her since we’ve graduated.

Well, my friend has a cozy house with a lovely garden. What we really needed is more space there, but, actually, it wasn’t a big problem. Her garden was decorated with marvelous things, such as colorful bottles, poppy sways, path lights and funny chickens. Looking great! I’d love to point out her interesting chairs. I was wondering where she could find them and she told me that she has bought them from the Internet. She has Adirondack Chair. As far as I know they are very popular this season. But, who cares about the trends? I liked them for their beautiful look and high quality; easy in using and the construction look strong. I guess it will not crack so simple. She has different types of this stylish furniture (Lifetime Adirondack Chair, Outdoor Interiors Eucalyptus, POLYWOOD South Beach), so you will never get bored. You can feel how comfortable they are by changing your place. It was hard to understand and recognize the winner of this competition. I tested all of the, and honestly telling you they are really nice! Not just a look, but the quality and the price is so attractive.  They will stay new forever! 

So the party has started. We were 40 people in one place and without any doubt it was very crowded! And you know, not just me, but also all my friends marked this new chair as excellent design decision. Everyone talked about Julia’s house and her great taste. She knows how to make her guest happy.

We played a wide range of sports: badminton, table tennis and somehow we could manage to play football on such small area. We were served tasty food: seafood, toasts, salads and luxury wine. We definitely had a great time together!

All in all, I have to think about our own country house as well. I wish we could have time and of course a huge amount of money. Then we would be able to arrange the same events too. It would be exciting to be able to take advantage of all perks that my friend gets living in the country side.

Thank you for reading my post and don’t forget to leave a comment. Probably, you have Adirondack Chair or planning to buy them!

 

Simple Help for Busy Mums

Hello to all mummies!

When you have a lot of children – you can forget about yourself. Comfort? Rest?! Are you kidding? These things are in your dreams for the next few years when you’re a mum… or maybe longer, it depends. Are you familiar with the situation when you have no time, but a one big trouble called “being a good mother who can do lots of things at once”? If so, keep reading.

I have two beautiful twins. Yes! Exactly! Probably when you read this you can feel a deep sympathy to me and wonder how I was able to keep up with everything and haven’t gone crazy… Well, there is no doubt, it was really hard, but I found a way; I managed to be a good and caring mother and I had enough time to give love to both of my beauties!

The first thing I did was the hiring of a nanny. It was a young nice lady, who helped me a lot with my children, I trusted her and felt really safe. However, she came only for a daytime and I found it a bit problematic to care for both of children at once. You know what I’m talking about if you ever cared for a baby. When the one sleeps, the other wakes up and it goes on and on. My husband was sick of these sleepless nights so he searched through the internet for any advice. How I love my lovely for his care, he always finds the best ways to solve the problems. This time he found a smart Wifi baby monitor. (OMG! Ladies, I just ask you to google for this stuff right now!) It saved our pure sleep and gave us a chance to enjoy at least one more hour of sleep each single night due to the function called “Night Vision”.

As we have twins, we bought two Comfort cams and put them in the rooms of our babies. For now, there is no problem with a night-time sleep. We installed two apps (on my husband’s phone and mine) to monitor the rooms at one time. It’s amazing! It was a usual thing when Cindy (my lovely) loudly cried or woke up and, as you can guess, automatically awoke her sister. But, finally, all these horrible nights were absolutely in the past. I can always come to the room to my baby and be sure that there is no way to disturb the other’s pure dream. Actually, you can even sing lullabies to your lovely one without going to his or her room. It’s perfect. This stuff is super easy to use and it has a lot of useful functions.

I really appreciate the developer’s work as for now I can also see my second daughter playing with a nanny at the time when I feed the first one in the other room.

Also, I can always track the situation at home when I’m out. Another great thing is that when my husband is on his business trip he is still able to see his babies any time he wants to. Yes, sure, Skype is also a great tool to show them to my husband, but I use each single free moment to sleep, not to chat or something. So the only important thing in the usage of this cam is to be connected to the wifi.

If you have a wifi you have a power to control everything with the Comfort cam. The Comfort cam is a great helper! It really works and helps to be in the present moment with your kids in the daytime and it’s a super cool guardian of your children’s sleep at the nighttime. I highly recommend you to try it! I couldn’t be silent and not share this information as I wish you to become as happy as me and what is the most important, to enjoy the time of being a mother.

Bye, bye, mummies! Wish you to be the best one on your amazing journey called “Caring Mother”. Hope, my feedback was very useful for all of you.

All the best!

Gift for My Husband

Whenever it’s my husband’s birthday, I never know what to get him. I go to Survival cooking to look at all the great appliances, as they seem to have amazing reviews for all of his interests… But I begin to feel that those domestic tools begin to “get a bit old” because I get them for him every year. This year, I decide to look for the best watches under 500 for him, because he has never really had a nice watch but is always noticing when other men have nice new watches…

I think this will be an incredible surprise for him and I can’t wait until he sees it. Gift shopping is such an interesting mix of being stressful and fun, but it is always so rewarding when you truly love your hubby like I do! This is going to be a truly great day, I certainly can’t wait to give him his amazing new watch– but first I have to pick one! Picking him a watch will surely be interesting and maybe a little bit stressful but that is okay and I am willing to undertake that level of stress for the man who I am such a big fan of. His gift is going to be great. I am deciding between two watches right now, but that’s only because they both represent a different part of his personality, which is so diverse and deep and wonderful. I love him, and I sure hope that he loves his watch! I think he will– I think he is expecting another domestic tool, but it will make him feel good to be able to put a classy, $400 watch on his wrist, I think. I always get the jewelry and accessories– maybe this means that he will end up buying Me a GRILL. LOL!

Unu Motors: A Company With A Cause

 

I am currently doing a research project about companies and business that creates an impact to the society. Our professor Sir Gary Castro Smith of our entrepreneurship class assigned us to search for such topic to present in our class next week. I was assigned to sear h good companies somewhere in Europe but I do not have any idea about good business in Europe. I thought I will have a hard time looking for one but I was happy to stumble upon one great company that fits the topics.

Upon searching over the internet, I stumbled upon this company, Unu Motors, which has good reviews and feedback from clients. I wondered what made this company liked by many and so I researched more and more and found out that I have been looking for. After a couple of pages where I saw good feedback for the company, I finally realized that yes. This one is what I am looking for and I am excited to share the facts I have learned about the cool company.

Unu Motors is Creating a Big Impact In Transportation

I love how their electric scooters or ‘elektrische scooter,’ is one of its flagship products, make an impact for the good of the environment. It is run by electricity and you do not even need to gas up because it comes with an easy to grab battery just right for every outgoing person. Also, it does not create noise, so imagine the fleeting feeling of riding a scooter without hearing too much noise that ordinary scooters give. What a relieving feeling.

Unu Motors wants to provide more and more options of great transportation option for its customers

Aside from electric scooters which have been generating good feedback for its awesome features, I think Unu Motors has a love way to go when it comes to giving what is best for the customers. One of their objectives is to provide good service for people and I think it will not stop there.

360 camaras

Top 7 manually tested 360 cameras to boost your virtual reality experience

In the past week, I have been writing about 360 cameras. When we talk about 360 cameras then the main thing that concerns is the quality of the image or the video. Quality matters a lot to me. The quality of 360 cameras depends upon the number of lenses. Single lens 360 camera usually produce high-quality images. But double lens cameras has to stitch images to produce continous images.

Previously we have talked about virtual reality, best 360 camera, and top 3 360 cameras. Today I have extended the list of top 360 cameras. I have added few more high-quality cameras in my top list.

It comes with a retail price of $471.99(best things come up with some price).

RICOH THETA S:-

This camera is one of the best 360 cams in the market. The Japanese company RICOH launched this product first in October 2013. At that time, 360 was not the breaking news.

It comes up with a price of about 300-350$ a bit economical than  360fly 4K HD. It also supports android and Ios devices.

Samsung Gear 360 review:-

360 camaras

Samsung has been a leader when it comes to technology and user experience. They just keep bringing awesome gadgets in the market. This time they have come up with Samsung gear 360. This gear can shot videos and capture pictures in a spherical view. It has two cameras which can shoot a 360 image but you can also use it to capture 180 images just by turning off one( yeah, draw back the feeling of control!). Although, it is a great gadget but drawback it just only supports Samsung devices Samsung Galaxy S6-S7, S6-S7(Edge), S6 Edge and also phones supported by Samsung gear manager app. So it is not for users like Apple and other brands.

It comes up with the price of between 300-350 US dollars

Kodak SP360 4K:

360 camaras

This camera by Kodak has 235-degree lens. It stores content in UHD format at higher frame rate. This camera is really durable and can survive extreme environmental conditions. It also has a mobile app and it stitches images by a software. It has a price between 450-500$.
