How I got my first DW watch

When I was 16, I told my friend "I think I want a leather DW watch sia it looks so simple yet elegant" cause he asked me what do I want for my birthday and that was how I first received my first DW watch. It was with a full black leather strap. 

As you can see in the photo, there is no leather because the straps  are interchangeable. The second piece from the left side is supposed to be leather but I received a nato strap used it on the petite ashfield one while the ashfield strap is used in the one that was supposedly for the leather. sounds confusing so let me summarize this for you. "straps are interchangeable so feel free to mix around as it is easy to do so."

I was like telling my another friend that has 80k followers "walao I also want DW to sponsor me sia recommend me ley" next moment before he even try to recommend me I realized DW actually emailed me to collaborate just that I did not check my inbox.

The first collaboration they gave me a black classic petite ashfield. I mean of course I was the one that chose it so from the moment I saw it I fell in love right away because I like how simple and classic it looks which complements my lupsup outfits making me look less lupsup than what I would look like without the watch. I posted on all the dates that I was told to post with the appropriate captions. I think this collaboration was back in 2018? 

I was told to choose a bracelet also so that was how the golden bracelet came along. It has an "elegant vibe" and the size is adjustable which is good to cater to all females that wants to have it but scared that its too big which is a common problem for us nowadays.

The second collaboration followed soon after. I chose a watch for my boyfriend. We were together for like, less than 1 month but I was like why not since we have been dating for quite awhile before getting together plus I already know that he does not have a watch so I willingly dragged him to pick up a couple watch with me.

This time round it came with a strap of my choice so I chose the nato strap which reflected a "casual vibe" in my opinion so I wear that strap together with my casual outfits.

The third collaboration happened a couple of months back. The collaboration was all about promoting the newly launched Dover watch. FYI it looks super duper high class so if you have PBM(parent bf meeting) you can consider wearing it. I loved the completely white one as I have several long dresses that are white colour and I felt that it would look amazing together. (too bad I dont own a pair of white heels) but like my mother told me she likes it too so I'm actually considering to give it to her. Anyways, I chose 2 rings with it as I wanted a couple ring with my boyfriend.

Summary

Someone told me if I blog about what I chose to receive for sponsorships it will look like I am bragging because I have more than 100 sponsorship collaborations before its even 2019 but the thing is if I am bragging I would just go out w all my watches everyday and show it off be like "haha loser you don't have watch" and like tbh DW watch is pretty affordable so I don't see that as bragging since its not like I am posting about getting sponsored by my all time "no-money-to-buy-shops" such as... ok wait nevermind I cant think of any super high end shops cause I don't have any. Helps. 

Ok my bestfriend says "Chanel Prada Rolex". Sounds atas ok but I don't know the prices oh well. 

anyways I am just trying to like show the different kind of watches that I went to look for because I want them for my different types of outfits. There is casual, elegant, lupsup for now and obviously I will be stopping here.

If DW continues to sponsor me I will just give it to my friends that does not have a watch I guess? I mean, I am not intending to sell it since I got it for free even though I usually get paid quite abit to post but like I already have 2 watches, one extra strap, a bracelet and a ring with me.

Actually I am planning to give the next one to one of my close friends but she don't like wearing a watch so... see first?

Anyways, the whole purpose of this blog is just for people that asked what exactly did DW give me and also to help people find out which type of straps they should get cause all gives out a unique vibe. well, you cant go around wearing an elegant watch together with a singlet, shorts and slippers cause thats just weird isn't it?

Hope I get my point across if this clarification is not enough and it makes people think that I am bragging then I don't mind taking it down to make peace also cause this is just a blog that I decided to do because its school holidays and I am bored.

Okay I am done here thank you for reading.

Sudio sponsorship experience

To be honest I have no idea how to start this blog. I wanted to blog about it during the holidays after I am done with my examinations but for now I am just having a break from the entire afternoon of studying a module that I have zero interest in so I was like, WHY NOT?

I will be sharing with you 2 different models of Sudio earpieces and generally some information about Sudio.

SUDIO - THE NAME

Their story is rooted in iconic Swedish music which continues to move music lovers around the world. It’s inspired by clean, elegant Swedish design to spark that moment where you get lost in the music and time stands still. They chose Sudio because it combines “Swedish” and “Audio” into a seamless name which reflects both their design vision and their promise to offer exceptional sound quality to music enthusiasts of every stripe - wayfarers, daydreamers, and storytellers alike. Whether you’re relaxing at home or conquering the world, if getting lost in the music is all that matters, Sudio is for you.

CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a country, Sweden consistently leads the world in environmental sustainability. So, as a Swedish company, they strive to take continuous improvement in corporate social responsibility issues. They can proudly say that their “Regent” model is vegan and that they use PU, artificial leather for several of our other products. They also ship their products from their factories to each respective warehouses by boat to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used during transportation. In these ways, they aim to reduce the amount of waste used in production. However, they are always looking for more ways to improve their environmental impact as they continue to develop as a company.

The first product that I have received from Sudio 

When did I receive it and what did I do with it

I think I received it somewhere in Jan/Feb 2018? The first one I was using it and then it had some connecting issues so sudio sent over 2 more. One of it I gave it to my bf/my mother and another for myself. Later on they gave me the second product which will be shared below.

What do I think of it

I feel that it is a little troublesome as I have to charge it after using it for 9 hours. When I first spoiled it however, I felt really upset and quickly realized that I was over reliant and ungrateful as the normal earpiece is so irritating and way more troublesome than just charging this at night. Sudio sent me 3 of this product in the same colour and same things inside. It comes w a very comfortable pin thingy for me to clip it with the back or my shirt at the collar area so that I will never lose it. Additionally it comes with a guide as well as 4 different sized earplug.

What do I love about it

I love this product as it is sweat resistant and can use at a range of 10m which means I can use it to connect to my phone while in the toilet leaving my phone outside instead of fearing that I might drop my phone into the toilet bowl. It has a 1 year warranty which was great because I spoiled mine and in the end I got a replacement without having to pay for it. Last but not least, I love this product as it is extremely light weighted at a whooping 14g and it is tangle free unlike those typical normal earpieces that tangles way too frequently like as though it is pretty inevitable.

It's description from it's official website

Fit for any lifestyle, Sudio’s Vasa Blå earphones blend Scandinavian design with a powerful sound signature suitable for all music genres. Whether you are commuting to work or going for a run, the Vasa Bla’s 9-hour battery will make sure there is never a silent moment. Highlights:

- Rose gold finishing

- Features 3-button controller

- Anti-tangle rubber cord

- 10 min quick charge for 1 h of playtime

- Weighs 14 grams

Here's my rating for this product so that you can compare it with the second product that I am about to share! 8/10 reason being need charge every 9 hours and its troublesome for lazy people like me. 

P.s. It comes with 5 colours and a pouch for you to put it into. If you buy during the summertime you can get a free tote bag and if you buy now you can get a free passport cover! Other times? Not sure, stay tuned to their website to find out but I'm sure you'll always get a 15% off when you quote my code <<Caramelhugstolv>>

The second product that I have received from Sudio

When did I receive it

I received this somewhere in mid June/July of 2019

What do I think of it

Yo I am not even kidding I love this product like a lot because I can like one whole week don't charge it end up still can use! In fact I love it so much that right now I am wasting time writing a blog about it instead of studying.. #help

What do I love about it

I like this product because it is literally zero wires to distract me and I can run with it because it is so light and it is sweat resistant. Let's not forget the fact that instead of just 10m it is 15m away from phones and it can even help me pick up calls in the toilet if my phone is not with me since it is a multipurpose button!

Its description from its official website

Experience complete freedom with zero wires distracting you. Instant pairing and the ultra-light charging case will revolutionize your everyday routine. With its outstanding battery life and new graphene drivers, you can now bring your music wherever life takes you and experience unrivaled sound that makes you feel like you are center stage. Highlights:

- Features a graphene driver for enhanced sound clarity

- Automatic pairing between earbuds and device

- Features a microphone on both earbuds

- Features a single, multipurpose button on each earbud to control music/phone calls

- Weighs 4.5 grams per earbud

Here's my rating for this product so that you can compare it w the first. 9.5/10 reason being I really like it but they removed the function where they can adjust the sound level. The first product that I mentioned; Sudio Vasa Bla has buttons that I can adjust the volume level anytime anywhere. (jk you have to be 10m near at most if not its gonna disconnect)

Conclusion

I feel that Sudio Tolv is generally better in comparison with Sudio Vasa Bla because the benefits are way more when compared. Additionally I feel that Sudio is really a cheaper alternative than other brands like ZNT. No offense but I bought one previously for my bf and both of us disliked it. 

Some of my friends even told me that they prefer Sudio than Airpods from Apple (please don't start a war here) because they think that theirs is too ex and that according to research to make an Iphone it costs 200dollars but they are selling it for 600dollars(not in singapore dollars)

Okay but on a lighter note I feel that whichever you prefer is your business. honestly I think if both same price I will get airpods cause got alot of covers especially those $3 cartoon casing that you can find online IT'S SO CUTE.

If you buy during the summertime you can get a free tote bag. If you were to buy anything from their official website now you can get a free passport cover! Other times? I am really not sure so stay tuned to their website to find out but I'm sure you'll always get a 15% off when you quote my code <<Caramelhugstolv>>

Soslim sponsorship experience

I have been sponsored to use this product; Soslim. It is said to be the first cold sensation slimming gel that includes real golden flakes and claims to come with 10 benefits.
Here are the 10 benefits that were mentioned:
-it helps you slim down
-reduces cellulites
-reduces stretch marks
-reduces water retention
-reduces dark spots and scars
-does firming and lifting
-is highly moisturizing
-helps whiten and brighten
-increases skin’s elasticity
-disintegrates stubborn fats

Here's what I initially thought of Soslim
Initially I felt that Soslim is rather expensive because the person that sponsored me was selling a bottle at $50+ when I first heard of it. I mean.. 100ml worth of gel that can last you 2-4weeks.. worth it (or not) you tell me!

Will I buy it? And should you?
Well personally I will not spend that amount every month to lose fats since I am underweight to begin with but I feel like for people that really wants to lose weight, its way more worth it since going for those body massage for weight management is way more costly than this bottle of gel.

What got me interested (I had doubts)
And honestly I wanted to try out this product because I saw that there are many reviews of people allegedly claiming to have lost quite abit of weight. (Example: one week only lost 2kg)
I felt that it might be them thinking that they are trying to lose weight hence eating lesser like some phychology effect thingy or probably cause they finally decided to go to release their bowels after having constipation issues, who knows?
^these are just a few of my personal doubts that I did not share with anyone until now

How I got my hands on the product
Someone approached me for another sponsorship and I requested to try this product as well. She agreed without hesitations and a few days later I received a parcel that includes the 100ml sized golden flakes slimming gel, a strawberry covered measuring tape and a massager that already has batteries for it to operate. (I don't think you'll receive all these)

Experience after using it
After using the slimmong gel I really felt like my applied area feels more moisturising in general and my skin feels tighter than usual. I still had my doubts thinking that maybe that was all it does and that it really would not help me lose weigh but I lost 1kg in a week though my appetite did not really fluctuate alot.

Should you buy it
I would say that this product really works and that you are only encouraged to buy it after you hit this 3 criteria. 
1) willing to use it at least once a day for 2 weeks.
2) has a stable income instead of stealing your parent's money or starving yourself by using your own's pocket money to buy the product.
3) really desperately wants to lose weight.

What my followers told me
Basically after trying it I was astonished and decided to like post about it so I took photos of it and uploaded it on my IG account @caramelhugs which you already know cause everyone that's here know this blog because of my IG.
1 follower said:
Anyways, my follower told me that she bought the item but don't know how to use it and that it's been a few days yet it has no results. I feel that it might be because of the application method and also cause different bodies will have different reaction to it. The Q&A of the product stated that some bodies need 1-3 days to see results while some others may take a week or two.
Another follower said:
Another follower told me that they are unsure if am I lying or not and if am I just posting because I will receive benefits if I post about it. Here's my reply to this kind of assumptions; I do not give a shit about benefits if I hate the product, I will tell the sponsor I hate it and refuse to post about it. If they insist that I post, I will tell them that I will be posting an honest review (which will be how much I dislike their product).

My experience with sponsors that gave me products that I refused to share around
This happened before in 2017 when a company sent me an item that caused me a huge amount of pain. After I told them that there was no way that I will be posting it they refused to back down so I told them I will be posting an honest review since I did not even agree to posting fake reviews that are sugar coated so badly that my followers are going to kill me after buying the product. They finally decided not to force me and just leave me alone.
I mean honestly why will I post good things about Soslim and make my family and friends want to buy it if its a waste of time and money? Imagine if my family and friends thought that I love the product and bought more for me on my birthday and Christmas. :)) #help

What I get when I post for soslim
1 bottle of gel 1 massager 1 measuring tape THAT IS ALL.
I received these before I even post so hell ya I don't con people to buy it since ALL BENEFITS HAVE BEEN REDEEMED BEFOREHAND.

By the way I love this product so much that I spent alot of time taking aesthetic photos and editing it to make it look more appealing and I even edited a video of its reviews and another video or how to use it on my IGTV.
