Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos I9192

Well have had my Galaxy S4 Mini Duos for few weeks now. I have yet to experience much of the features still since they are extensive however its a great device. Definitely more than a phone. Its my hand held android based computer pretty much. Features front and back cameras. The front facing camera is great for video calls and the rear camera takes nice pictures. Cameras feature several modes to help in various situations such as taking pictures at night. So far I only have used the night scheme and it works very nicely. The screen is 4.3 inches however it is a  bit small compared to its parent phones it still packs a punch in pixels and has great resolution.  I run mine with off a tmobile mvno Spot Mobile currently and not too happy with the service so far. Probably will switch it to at&t mvno shortly  and see if its better. May run both at some point since the phone is a Duos and has 2 sims that can run it. I have the factory unlocked version so can be used with any gsm carrier. Had difficulty with the mms for a bit as I had to setup the apn settings myself then that has worked since. It immediately had an update right out of the box which brought it to android 4.2.2 however I was hoping for the 4.3 update then I would be closer to kitkat update but nothing yet. Once in while the phone has issues with making phone calls and hearing the caller or persons you called. Then suddenly it just restarts itself and it works fine for a while. However unsure whats the cause of this difficult and its sudden reboot. Does it 2 to 3 times a day depending on my usage of it. Plays games with ease and is pretty simple to use its general features.

My First Infuenster Vox Box The JollyVoxBox

I received the #JollyVoxBox from +Influenster the other day. Today we tested out some of the products included in it. My niece spent the night last night so we tested the makeup products today. Included in the #JollyVoxBox was +RimmelLondonUs #ShowOffLipLacquer. It is a nice pink lip lacquer that is shinny and great fitting with our skin tones.
We also tried the +NYCNewYorkColor #HDColorTrio. It having nice tones with a highlighter, the all over lid, and the crease colors all in tan/brown tones.
The +Puffs #passThePuffs tissues included in my #JollyVoxBox from +InfluensterVox were Puffs Plus Lotion and very soft and helped with the irritation from another brand of tissues I had been using. My nose is no longer raw from needing to blow it due to using the +Puffs tissues I received. We both tried the +TheSkinnyCow and was able to #IndulgeWithSkinny. I loved the smooth, creamy, flavored dive filled chocolate candies. Feeling no guilt whatsoever eating them. Its a very well put together snack. My #VoxBox also included +TheDuckBrand #MiniDucklings roll of splashed duck tape we plan on making a small project with. It is a mini roll of white duck tape with what looks to be paint splashes of yellow, blue, green, purple, and orange on them. I am excited to make a crafty little thing with the #MiniDucklings tape that came in my +Influenster #VoxBox.

Schick Razors

I have tried 2 different Schick razors over the past couple months. The first a Schick Hydro in which I really liked. Its handle was shaped ergonomically and not plastic feeling. The razor fit nicely in my hand making it comfortable to hold while shaving the different contours needing to be shaved. It also had a close shave making it a nice shaver. However the next time I went to use it, the shaver and blades were stuck to the plastic protector that came with it. The moisturizer in the shaver had seeped out and dried itself to the shaver making the shaver unusable without buying a refill pack of blades. I was not about to dish out $25 for a refill package of blades only to get one use out of each of them due to the seepage of skin moisturizer in them. I do not recommend this product to others. Though I then bought a Schick Intuition razor which was much better and I do recommend. It came with 2 cartridges with a moisture dried creme surrounding the blade. It works really well and comes with a nice cover and suction cupped holder to place it in when not in use. This prevents the previous problem from occurring that I had experienced with the Schick Hydro. The design is much different however it provides a comfortable grip to hold it and shave the contours needing to be shaved. I truly like the design and shave I receive from this.

Blue Diamond unsweetend Almond Milk

I mainly buy the +BlueDiamond Vanilla Almond Breeze Almond Milk however I usually try to keep the Original on hand also as I do not buy regular milk and use Almond milk in everything that calls for milk to be used. I use the Vanilla in my hot and could cereals as well as prepartion of my Hot Chocolate and in making my fresh smoothies. I use the original in my mac and cheese, my potatoes, my casseroles, and everything else including baking that calls for milk. I always replace the milk in recipes with Almond milk. I have not tried the Blue Diamond chocolate Almond Milk. Almond milk has more calcium and less calories than regular milk. It is soy free and lactose free. However I do suggest to be careful if you have nut allergies.
