Orange is the New Black

My post is two-fold

Firstly, I'm soopa bummed that South Africa doesn't celebrate this holiday in a big way, actually in any way. 

South Africa have a piddly diluted version with half-arsed celebrations. Probably because they are adverse to the meaning behind Halloween.  The calling of spirits and negative energies and all that.

If you don't get invited to a private Halloween party, or have one of your own, pretty much fuck all happens. No scary decorations, no trick or treating, no carved pumpkins, no apple bobbing, no treacle scones...its fucking depressing...

Oh you Pretty Plonkers know how I LOVE to dress up and I adore wearing all types of creative costumes, so this is almost the PERFECT holiday for someone like me. However, I still have to sit back and let the rest of the world enjoy the festivities. Hook a sista up why don't you?

What are all the Halloween Parties at?

Secondly, Orange is the New Black is one of my top shows.  It has a bit of everything.  Drama, Excitement, Romance, Comedy, Crime...what more could a girl want?  The story of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to 15 months in prison after she is convicted of a decade old crime of transporting money for her drug dealing girlfriend (Laura Prepon).

Fancy something new and fresh to watch?  Give it a go.  Just remember its not really family friendly, so make sure its watched after the kids are put to bed.

TheSnugg

So I was asked to review TheSnugg, which they claim is a "robust, case, cover and stand for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1".

Here's what I think:

The first thing I noticed when I opened TheSnugg, was the smell.  That brand new PU Leather smell. It’s an awesome nostril filler. The same one you get when you slide into a brand new car with leather seats.  Yeah.... it's right up there with petrol and vanilla, Plonkers!  

I love the funky stitching and logo, which is incredibly modern and stylish.  Shaawiiiiing!

I was soopa excited that TheSnugg comes in my favourite colour, which is ORANGE. There are hardly any orange tablet or phone accessories out there that come in orange.  Check out there other funky colours!   

Delivery was swift and prompt and was generously packaged.  Some companies often skimp on packaging and then the product often gets damaged in transit.

The Snugg has 2 upright positions.  

One is a stand-up presentation mode and the other one is a lower view, which is perfect for using in the kitchen for reading your recipes.

The Snugg is soopa slim and is compact enough to fit in your notebook bag or, in my case, my handbag  [Only because my fucking handbag is the size of a small country!]

What I was really impressed with was the wide, stable hand strap that allows you to hold the device and frees up your other hand to quickly and accurately navigate the tablet. Perfect for playing games or being the Instagram Whore that I am, scroll through and love all those gorgeous photos.

The Snugg cover allows you to plug in and charge your table without having to remove it from the cover.  And another cool features is when you close the cover, it switches of the tablet.

One thing I did notice, was that the cover needs to be closed in order to remove the stylus.  So you have to stop what you're doing, close the cover, remove stylus, open up again before returning to what you were doing.

TheSnugg is really just that. Snugg.  Your tablet does not slide around inside the cover, like some other covers.  So you can be certain that your precious tablet its save, snug and secure.  The really strong magnet keep it tightly shut when you’re not using it too.  Durable and sturdy enough for even the kids to abuse and lob around!
