A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Aug 2019 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

 Hi Friends, 

August is the month of birthdays in our family where a lot of them come in a single month and the festivities keep on going in the full steam. A new member also got added in 2020 in the form of a baby boy as my brother's son and he was born between his birthday and his daughter's birthday. Now all of them will have the same star sign of LEO.  

1. Score a Once in a Lifetime Experience with @Cadbury_SA @PremierLeague Live in UK #CadburyTasteTheAction -  Cadbury's launched their Premier League campaign last year where you can buy some of their products and participate to win a golden ticket to see the live matches in the United Kingdom. Last year I was invited to the launch event but this year I was sent a mystery pack right before the virtual launch event which is going to be held soon. Check out the unboxing video on my youtube channel. 

2. #TheLifesWayReviews @SonyElectronics RX100 VI Premium Compact #Camera #vLogging - Sony Electronics sent me this premium compact camera for the review and I took the same on my trip to Dullstroom and took amazing photos and videos during the last Summer season. I am really grateful to Sony for always creating something unique and amazing products from time to time. 

3.  #TheLifesWayReviews @BodyGlove Mini Earbuds #Bluetooth @Gammatek #bodyglove #GammaTek - GammaTek brings a lot of products to the local South African market and is known for all the Funko Pops in the market which people love to collect at all the Comic Cons and rAge events. I received this fantastic Mini Earbuds which I have used extensively daily till the time Huawei sent me their FreeBuds3 at the start of the lockdown in March 2020. These are really nice, but the problem faced now is that sound during a call only comes out of a single earbuds and not from both which is really irritating, so I have almost stopped using them but do charge them from time to time. 

4. #TheLifesWayReviews @Xiaomi Mi Band 2 #SmartBand @TheGearbest #HealthyLiving - Xiaomi stuff gets sold via The Gearbest website as soon as it's launched as compared to the local retailer The Core Group at iStore and also they have their own MIA Africa website too. I received this Mi Band 2 as a part of the affiliate program at The Gearbest which I only used once and then couldn't work on the same. My daughter was using the same till her birthday this year when the band started to crack and cut in half so I gifted her a new Huawei Band 4e for her use which has very fewer features as compared to Mi Band 2 but she is happy for the time being. 

5. Exploring Mega Construx™ Crystal Creatures™ Series 1 @MegaConstrux @Mattel #CrystalCreaturesSA - This was the first time when we shot the video for Keisha unboxing and since then now she has her own Youtube Channel named - KEISHA & YOU. Please do subscribe and like the videos and if you want to send her stuff to unbox and share with the community, kindly contact me at thelifesway@gmail.com. 

Thanks to all the brands for sending their press drops and media invites. I hope it brings them joy as much it brings me to be onboarded and share all the experiments I do with their products and services from time to time. Recently, I have started a lot of video product reviews too on my Instagram channel IGtv mainly and also on my youtube channels. Enjoy and do give in your comments from time to time. 

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Aug 2014 (500th Post)

Hi Guys,

August is the month when you start planning big things for yourself as the weather changes and it renews your resolutions to go into full bloom. This is my 500th post on my blog The Life's Way and it's been a journey of more than 33 months now. My blog has reached a place where I wanted it to be but still a lot of work needs to be done daily on the same. I hope to reach 650 posts by the end of this year which seems like a difficult task but let's see and start aiming towards the same!

Last Year, August in Johannesburg was very cold as compared to this year's winters weather. I started this series of posts last year in the month of August only and it really gives a perspective as to what you was thinking and where were you with your blog. 

1. NDTV Rising Stars of Comedy -

http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/ndtv-prime-rising-stars-meets-their.html

Last year, I came across this unique concept of NDTV Prime #workhardplayhard where they divided the news channel into comedy series of shows after the prime time slots. Some of the standup comedians are really great and the other series in which news are told in a funny way was awesome to watch! Do check them out as they have some great episodes on their youtube channel. 

2. Product Review - Kinivo ZX-100 Portable Speaker - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-kinivo-zx-100-portable.html - Kinivo has been a brand which is closer to my heart as I am using their products a lot for my day-to-day usage. Their products are great and build quality is worth its value. This small speaker is very good and always stays with me offering great entertainment at all times. 

3. Launch Event - Disney On Ice @Coca Cola Dome Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/launch-event-disney-on-ice-coca-cola.html - Dinsey Africa doesn't need any introduction and Disney on Ice is a unique extravaganza that happens once every year. Last year show was my first time ever and this year also it was awesome. Do keep an eye on the next years show and book your tickets in the front rows. 

4. Product Review - Nokia Lumia 720 + Wireless Cover + Wireless Charger - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-nokia-lumia-720-wireless.html - I bought this phone and gifted it to my parents. My mom likes the phone and is using the same for sharing photographs and messages on whatsapp. It took time for her to learn the same but now she is happy with the same.

5. Product Review - Lowepro CompuDay Photo 150 - Messenger Bag - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-lowepro-compuday-photo.html - I was looking for a Camera bagpack but came across this unique messenger bag from Lowepro which can hold a camera on its side along with the laptop and tablet. I never took the bag to the field but now my dad has taken the same to Australia and I hope it will be useful to him on his 6 month long trip.

Along with all these posts, I did a lot of movie reviews and other posts also. Overall, it was a great month and I really enjoyed myself with the new camera NX300 Samsung that I had during that time.

Cheers!!!
