Bluetooth earphones

I love bluetooth earphones because I can move without a cord that's connected to my phone or player. Truth to be told, I use it mostly with my mobile, laptop or tablet. I really love my noice cancelling headset that I bought last year, only downside is that it's huge. I love to use it at night or when I really need to concentrate.

But while I'm on the run, like doing groceries or just going to work. I want something light so I can walk freely and jog when needed. I already bought two Picun headphones that are just lovely but with both of those I have battery problems. So, I personally do not recommend them.

I also have one very nice one that's a bit old, my very first bluetooth headset. A no brand that I bought for €10,- in 2015 and have been using it on and off until now. Since the Picun really disappointed me, I tried buying cheap €2,- online. Not great quality but it works and at least no battery problems. Only thing is the bluetooth connection, that it will be recognized it as an input device instead of earphones.

So two weeks ago I went to the TK-Maxx store and bought JBL bluetooth. When at the store I was looking at it and searched on the web how the reviews are and what the price is in store. I am really fortunate because in the tech stores or online it all cost around €50,- and I got if for 50% off. It is in rose gold but not overly girly.

This means I am going to say goodbye to two of my old bluetooth earphones and just use my new ones. It saves a lot of space and cord management.

Mirror

This year I sold away an old round mirror for my mother since it's so bulky and dust gathering. After all the mirror is so big she stalled it between her bed and wall. But after selling it she missed a mirror to check herself at. Around the house we have face large mirrors but those don't show how her outfit looks.

So she is in need of a new mirror after all that trouble to sell the old one off. I see that she first ask to get rid of it before buying a replacement which is good since she isn't adding material to her room. This time the mirror should be light enough to hang or stick it somewhere.

So I checked in Ikea and found a €4,- stick it on mirror. The place she has placed is for myself too low and too close to the edge. This will basically smudge a lot when she's going to open the closet. But I asked her over 3 times if she is sure she wanted and she didn't ask for my advise so I paste it on just as she requested.

I find her process of switching from a big round mirror to the closet mirror really nice since now she doesn't have to handle the heavy mirror anymore.
