Samsung A25 5G Snapshot: A Budget-Friendly Phone for Family-Oriented Users 

   Hello there! It's me again, your working mom. I am excited to share with you about my newly bought smartphone. You might wonder why I chose this phone, so let me tell you the reason.

    As the breadwinner of my family, I always try to save money and cut down on expenses wherever possible. That's why I opted for a budget-friendly smartphone with high-quality performance. After conducting some research, I decided to go with the Samsung A25, and I'm quite happy with my choice.

    As a mother and user, my priority use of my phone is to stay in touch with my family back home, especially my kids. So, I needed a phone with a faster and long-lasting battery to make our conversations non-stop, as I love talking to my loved ones. I also use my phone to watch my kids through a CCTV camera linked to my phone. I can see them whenever and wherever I am.

    While I'm not an expert, I'd like to share my unboxing experience and a quick review of the Samsung A25. Let's talk about the design, color, and specs.

What's in the box?

Color: Light Blue😍

Design:  The Galaxy A25 adopts Samsung's updated design language with a slightly sculpted frame, which is both nicer to touch and more secure in the hand.

Specifications:

    For me, as long as my smartphone has the latest updates and performs just as well as other high-end phones, it's good enough. As long as I can chat and call my family, friends, and colleagues, I'm happy. As a mother, my main priority is the well-being of my kids and family. Filipinos are known for being family-oriented, and we value our family above everything else. Family always comes first before ourselves.

Video calls

    I have a daily routine of setting up Alexa for my wake-up time since I work three different shifts every other day. The most important shift that I cannot miss is the Early shift, as it is really hard to wake up too early. Thanks to Alexa, I have never missed my time. My favorite feature of Alexa is video calling, which allows me to connect with my loved ones anytime I want. They can also call me even while I am still sleeping, as there is no need to accept the calls. Alexa has been very helpful in easing my homesickness by serving as a CCTV, allowing me to navigate apps and check my place anytime.

    Having Alexa by my side has been a game-changer in my life. With its advanced features, Alexa provides me with a sense of companionship that I never thought I would have from a digital assistant. The ability to multitask is one of the features that I appreciate the most. I can ask Alexa to play my favorite music, set reminders, make phone calls, and even order food without ever having to lift a finger!

    Alexa's voice is so pleasant to listen to, and it responds promptly to all my requests. It has become my trusted partner in life, and I can always count on it to provide me with accurate information and helpful advice.

    Overall, Amazon Alexa is a useful tool that can help streamline daily tasks and make life more convenient.

"Hey there! I'm your working mom, and today I want to share with you some tips on how to use video calls without VPN."

As we're aware, video calling has been restricted in the UAE unless you subscribe to a VPN. However, there are some applications like BOTIM that don't require a VPN for video calls. 

Recently, I discovered another method to make video calls without using a VPN, and I'm excited to share it with you. Perhaps I'm late to the party, but for those who are unaware, here's a guide on how to use Gmail for video calling. I can attest that it's incredibly user-friendly, clear, fast, and doesn't require any logging in. Since most phone users already have Gmail registered on their devices, it's incredibly convenient.

 Here's a guide on how to use the instant meeting video call feature directly in Gmail using a smartphone:

Open Gmail App - Launch the Gmail app on your smartphone and log in to your Gmail account if you haven't already.

Enable Google Meet - Look for the "Google Meet" icon, typically represented by a video camera, near the bottom of the email composition screen. Tap on this icon to add Google Meet to your email.

Start the Instant Meeting - After adding Google Meet, it will generate a meeting link automatically. Tap on the "Send" button to send the email with the meeting link to your recipients.

Join the Meeting - Recipients of the email will receive the invitation with the meeting link. They can simply tap on the link within the email to join the instant meeting video call directly from their smartphone's Gmail app.

Enjoy the Call - Once everyone has joined the meeting, you can enjoy your video call just like any other meeting on Google Meet. Make sure your camera and microphone are enabled to communicate effectively.

End the Call - When you're ready to end the call, you can simply tap on the "End call" button within the Google Meet interface to disconnect from the meeting.

That's it! You've successfully used the instant meeting video call feature directly in Gmail using your smartphone.

How Did I Start My Blogging Journey? | Cuty Rose

Hey there! Welcome to my little corner of the web. I'm your working Mom, and I'm excited to share a glimpse into my life with you. 

Amidst financial challenges, Cedric, a friend and mentor, became a guiding light in my journey toward financial empowerment.

As the breadwinner for my family, the strain of making ends meet became increasingly difficult, especially when my husband's job in healthcare became unstable. With his income reduced to part-time work, we found ourselves struggling to cover basic expenses, let alone unexpected bills.

In a moment of need, I turned to credit cards for relief, unaware of the financial burden they would bring. As interest piled up, so did my stress and worry.

Cedric, having witnessed my struggles, encouraged me to explore new avenues for income. With his support, I took a leap into the world of blogging, determined to find a way out of our financial troubles.

Though the journey ahead is uncertain, I am filled with hope and determination to overcome our challenges. With Cedric's guidance and my newfound passion for blogging, I believe we can create a brighter future for ourselves and our family.
