Plemo Magic Bean Power Bank

Hi Guys

I am an iphone user, an iphone 5 user to be exact. I love the iphone but like everyone else, I hate the battery life. I use my phone a lot - not much of a talker or texter but I spend a lot of time on social edia apps and news sites. Previously (iphone 4) I didn't have an issue with my battery life but with th iphne 5 I've had days when my battery has died. Dead. Proper dead. Like, my phone is off and I can't turn it on sort of dead. Mega trauma.

So I've been looking out for ways to prolong my battery (including not using the phone but come on now, give a girl a break!!!) and I've been reading reviews on battery cases, usb chargers and other types of portable batteries. I wanted something at a good price, that worked (!) and that was kinda cute. I think that the Plemo Magic Bean ticks these boxes. 

I got my Magic Bean (the name is toooooo cute) from Amazon, and it's currently on sale for £14.99. I got mine in hot pink but it comes in plenty of other colours (including black, my second choice).

I haven't actually properly used it in an emergency situation but I've had a play around and I like it. As a girl with a giant handbag the size is fine for me - it's not small (like those usb chargers) but it fits into the palm of my hand and because it's bigger it's more powerful, which I want. For a man it might not be viewed as portable (as it's not that pocket friendly).

So conclusion for now? I'm happy and the serach is over. If anything changes I shall update this post.

(Also - for iphone 5 you will need to use your own usb cable, as the cable provided is not compatible - but this is stated).

Bye!

I WANT!!!

OMG I want this!!!!!

The Mulberry Daria Mini Messenger. Ooooooooooh my heart is aching for this. A lil handbag especially for ipenny. A match made in heaven! Is it worth £169 though?

I wonder if I could hold out for my birthday........erm, more than 8 months? I dont think so! Argh. I wish I hadn't seen this :(

Ketchup

Hello hello!

Ketchup = catch up!

Apologies as always for being awol. A combination of just being busy/lazy and also the lack of a proper phone (i.e. no phone camera = no pictures) is just not motivating me at all.

Well, counting down the days til MArch 9th aka upgrade day!!!!!! I've wanted an iphone of some description for my whole life (well, whenever the iphone came out) but now that d-day is approaching I don't know what I want now. Confused! But I am looking forward to it. my pink plastic toy phone is not fun or easy to use.

So anyway, I am now back at my normal office. New job role, same team as when I was in Sutton. Love the team and I think I love the job (but I've only done one day of it so....!) Believe it or not I really really loved Sutton; the only downside was the travelling and apart from the odd hissy fit it wasn;t so bad.....saying that, I do love not having to commute!!!!

Now I am back I am back in my heels and I'm so unused to wearing them that I am just clunking around all through the building. Not atttractive at all, but hopefully practise makes perfect!

As I made you aware, I got my hair cut and I still don't like it (the shape_. However, I don't know if it's the cut or something else but the texture of my hair is totally different - it's no longer as hay-like and not as badly tangled after I've washed it so it's quicker to do in the morning. But the shape means that I'm finding it hard to style - I don't know what to do with it and I think it makes my fat face look even rounder.

Talking about my round face - I've broken out really badly. Sudocream is working overtime but it can only help so much. It's making me quite sad. My greasy hair and greasy face. I'm just so bleugh. Beautiful on the inside right? KMT lol

I'm battling my spending demons every single second. And it's friggin hard. I spend hours online shopping and then basket dumping. Spend ages in drugstores sticking make up in my basket and dumping it (another great thing about being back at my home office - no rushing for trains!) I've managed to control myself so far but I am being slightly naughty and bulk buying soap and body wash (yes I am weird) and I've probably spent about £60 this year. But at least I will use it up eventually as opposed to hoarding blusher for the next decade!!

Erm, I think thats it for me.

I hope you have all been well :)

I won't make a fake promise and say I'll post loads but I do promise that once I've got a decent phone I will make up for this drought :)

xoxo

Not-so-Smart Phone

Hi Guys!

So I really really really want a new mobile. But I'm not good with all this technology stuff; it's pretty amazing I blog!

The crap news is that I'm not due an upgrade until March 2011, but at least this gives me plenty of time to research and make up my mind on what I want.

Apart from the fact I'm a techno moron, my other problem is budget. I would like a fancy phone but I can't afford/don't want to pay big bucks, so it does limit me somewhat.

But in my usual way, despite complaining about cost I am going to tell you which phones I'm currently interested in and you'll see I haven't really given any regards to the price....but thats the joy of upgrading duh!

Before I say which phones, here are some of the important things (to me) that need to be considered:

REQUIREMENTS

• Easy to use - I don't want a phone that I can't figure out how to unlock/lock, or how to answer a call!!
• A good camera - they might not always make it online but I do take a lot of pictures for my blog, and plus, my actually camera is crap so I basically use my camera phone as a camera.
  
• Easy to blog from!!! - this is my most important thing. Because, in my view, all phones these days, esp the smart phones, are very decent and for me it would be a matter of chosing which one i like the most cosmetically, but because of this blogging malarkey I do need a phone that I can snap a good pic with and then pop it onto 'blogger' with a caption or an essay.
  
• Pretty - I want a sleek fancy phone.
  

SHORTLIST

• Iphone 4 - standard! I think the main thing stopping this from being my choice is the lack of a decent bargain with t mobile.....and I am also under the impression the camera doesn't have flash?
  
• Samsung Gaaxy S - noone seems to be a fan of this, but when i went to cambridge i met up with S and he has this phone and he seemed to like it a lot and I trust his technological view. Plus it seemed to work in a similiar way to an iphone so at least I'd be able to make and receive calls lol
  
• HTC Desire - this only just made the shortlist since yesterday. So i know nothing about it. Apart from it comes in brown?! WTF?
  
• A blackberry - i had a blackberry before and i hated it. But this was yeeears ago and i had no internet so that was pretty crap. I am still not a fan of the blackberry, its a bit chunky, but everyone seems to love it so....i have no idea about all the different styles though. And I would like a blackberry because i want to stick some bling on it! lol

So out of my shortlist, what do you think? Best? Worst?

Please comment below, in particular if you know anything about blogging functions and also, what does 500mb equate to?

Thanks :)
