Philips Anti Allergen PowerPro Duo Review

Philips Anti Allergen PowerPro Duo FC6168 is a 2 in 1 handstick cordless vacuum cleaner.  It is easy use and the ability to detach the handstick to use on furniture, counter tops or hard to reach areas makes light work of your regular chores.  My first impression of the vacuum cleaner is that it looks very stylish and lightweight!

Mini Hornit Review

Recently, I came across Hornit via the Talk To Mums Family Playtime event in London. This Mini Hornit comes in four awesome attractive colours: purple/pink, blue/orange, red/blue and black. They are the ultimate lights and sound effects accessory for children’s bikes and scooters.

Inside this box, it comes with Mini Hornit, remote trigger (to use on your bike) and 2 spare AAA batteries. There are 2 AAA batteries already loaded in the Mini Hornit. It is very easy to install using the wings clip that even a child could do it.

Vtech DigiGo Review

We are thrilled to be part of the Vtech DigiGo Ambassador Campaign with tots100 and over the next three months, I will bring you some interesting news from Vtech.

We have received this Vtech DigiGo which is a hand held smart device for children aged 3 to 7. Both my children are pretty tech savvy and within minutes they knew exactly how to play it. It’s also helpful that we do own an InnoTAB 2 which we’ve had for a few years now.

Besides the usual features like taking photo and videos, playing learning games and using the multimedia player, this Vtech DigiGo allows your child to send and receive text or voice messages, photos, drawing and much more with (parent-approved) family and friends’ smartphone using the built in wireless connection.

Self-Watering Planter from Lechuza

My children love planting and they are always very excited when I hand them a bag of seeds. In the past, we have grown peas, sunflowers, strawberries and others. We don’t always get the fruits of our labour though as we keep forgetting to water it. This is worse during the summer as we are often out and about and it’s when the plants need more water.

We recently installed a Karcher Rain Box which is helpful but it is not on a timer so we still have to turn on the tap to water it. So we are delighted to receive this Lechuza self-watering planter!

Japanese Surprise Box Unwrapped

My son has been watching quite a lot of video on YouTube and one of the videos he saw was about unwrapping a food box and trying out the snacks in it. So he asked my sister who happened to be working in Japan at the time to make him a box.

I asked her to get us a small box of candies and I was so surprised to receive a huge box of Japanese goodies! Some of them are my favourites too! I have been to Japan three times for holidays and I am totally in love with the place and their cute ‘kawaii’ foods/snacks. They place emphasis on the emotive packaging and pay extra attention to detail. It makes the food so appealing!

The Video Effect by Nigel Camp

Earlier this year, I was attended Britsmum Live and met Nigel Camp thru his Hands-on Video session where he gave us tips on how to make better videos. It was a very impressive and powerful talk. He gave me encouragement and ideas on how to create better content for my videos. Comparing my older videos to the present ones, I think I have taken most of his advice on board. My latest video is no longer just the product on its own. I have come out of my shell to show the audience who is behind those big hands. Also I don’t just take the same angled shots. I’ve experimented shooting at different angles to emphasise the product.

Since his session, I invested in developing my own intro (at the start of my video reviews) to tell people about my website and brand. I also have an outro to tell people my social media avenues and where to subscribe my channel. Do click here if you wish to subscribe!

I believe that using video is a lot easier to show your audience your brand and product. I enjoyed vlogged and hope to improve on creating great video reviews.
