[Ad- gifted product] After reviewing the previous Selfie Bag from Cotton Bag Co, I was really excited to see they were doing a new and improved version! I do take a lot of selfies, which you can always find on Twitter or Instagram.  Like most of the people from my generation, I love taking pictures of myself and sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world. The new Selfie Bag is basically a tool kit to take the best selfies while on the go and at events – which is the best place to take pictures, really, as it shows a bunch of different places and stories about your life. Let’s get into the bag;

[Ad- gifted product] We have subscriptions to most online, video watching platforms. I watch Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Huey – so switching between these different platforms is something we’ve always done. When I heard about Planet Eat, a new food TV subscription platform, I was excited to try their free month of viewing! I watch a lot of food programs and miss Food Network – a TV channel in America, so I was hoping this would replace my craving for some amazing food TV.

Planet Eat actually has a lot of shows already, despite being quite new to the market, however most of these shows are only 10 to 15 minutes long, making them into mini-videos. Many of them are recipes, tutorials and master classes, which can really help if you don’t like reading recipes or want to learn new skills when it comes to being in the kitchen. Each episode also has a trailer video you can watch to get a better feel of the show. I found myself getting the most out of master classes and really enjoyed the detailed programs on taking pictures and telling a story through food, but I felt the videos could be bulked out with the presenter actually taking pictures and showing them to us, instead of talking so much about equipment or just showing images taken earlier, instead of the entire process of setting them up.

As you are probably aware, there are lots and lots of monthly subscription boxes out there – from monthly cat gift boxes through to make-up and bath-bomb boxes. So, it makes sense that there’s a monthly beer box. Beer52 is my first experience of a beer box like this, and it’s quite an interesting offering; Certainly more than just a crate of random beers.

For a start, the whole thing is designed as a ‘discovery club’ more than a crate ‘o beer, and that’s fair, it feels themed and deliberate, specifically featuring a wider variety of beers than you’d normally find in your local supermarket. It’s also complete with a couple of bar snacks, and there’s also a brilliant magazine all about craft beers, and brewing on the whole. Much like a Nat Geo, New Scientist, or any of the other specialist, serial magazines it’s a perfect little casual read if you want to learn more about the specialist subject that it is built around. It’s also good coffee table decor.
