PokketMixer Unboxing and Giveaway

September 8, 2014

I had a brief fling with DJing in the past… A friend of mine first taught me on an old school turn-table, the very fist session live in this club called Peligro in Manila. I wouldn’t have had the courage to do it if I didn’t have liquid courage coursing through my veins. It was exhilarating. Mind-blowing. The power of music to control the vibe of a space or experience is amazing, isn’t it?

It’s kinda cool how the smallest things can inspire us… a moment in a park and an energetic dancing DJ is what made me want to get back into music and beats…I just had to have the POKKETMIXER! I wrote about this original Berlin invention, last week. Today I’m sharing the unboxing photos and how you have the chance to win a PokketMixer from wherever you are in the world.

PokketMixer in Champagne

I may not be partying in the clubs any more, but TD and I love hosting parties and playing songs from our iPhones. And I find it so cool that now we can mix in songs switching from iPhone to iPhone so easily with a POKKETMIXER. Even guests who want to play their own music can do so without the hassle of having to disconnect and connect iPods and that awkward silence in between.

Among the many PokketMixer designs I picked Champagne because it’s not too but rather a pale matte gold that is the perfect shade of gold for me. So luxe! I was so excited when the package arrived.

What’s in the POKKETMIXER Box

1 x PokketMixer 130g/approx. 11x8x3 cm size ref
1 x velvet pouch
2 x stereo cables, approx. 35cm
1 x manual

There were also nice extras like POKKETMIXER sticker and super cute disco ball key chains!

PokketMixer-champagne

It’s important to remember that the POKKETMIXER was never intended to replace a professional DJ mixer console. And it’s great to use with iPhones/iPads that already have your favourite DJ Mixing apps. How cool is that?

POKKETMIXER Controls

HI/MID/LO – 3-Band EQ each channel
LISTEN LEFT/RIGHT – pre listen function left/right
MIXER – crossfader
MASTER – volume for music system
PHONE VOL – headphone volume
EQ ON/OFF – equalizer activation

When I opened the box I set it up in a minute flat. Using my iPhone + iPad + iPod dock + cable that came with the iPod, I was able to tinker with the super fun gadget immediately. I am inspired to make some playlists again!

When TD came home, he excitedly tried it too. He has never tried mixing before but he found it simple enough to figure out.  He had such a blast playing with it and he spent the evening just mixing music. I had a hard time dragging him away for dinner. =)

PokketMixer-champagne1

I won’t ever be a DJ, but I can still have some fun times with this POKKETMIXER – no need to be a professional DJ! This will make for some fun road trips for sure and spontaneous parties with friends… anywhere!

    I would stick with the champagne color you’ve got. It’s so pretty! I’m looking at “self-deejaying” my wedding via iPod next spring and I have a feeling this gadget would make it sound so much more professional. Crossing my fingers!

SNOW FUN IN LAPLAND We arrived at the perfect tim SNOW FUN IN LAPLAND

We arrived at the perfect time in @santaclausvillage_rovaniemi. It was cold but not like the week before wherein it was -18 C low.

So we managed with our UNIQLO Ultra Light Down Jackets. I still brought waterproof jackets just in case but the most important to bring were the WATERPROOF SNOW GLOVES because @diplobaby loved playing with the snow so much & its essential for SLEDDING. When they fall of they need the gloves to protect their hands from getting wounded and the ice.

@glass_resort lends out kids sleds for free. My son loved it!

Hope you enjoyed seeing us enjoy the snow. SAVE THIS post if you plan on visiting Rovaniemi in Finland with your kids!

GLASS RESTAURANT We were so lucky our GLASS APAR GLASS RESTAURANT 

We were so lucky our GLASS APARTMENT in @glass_resort was so near their beautiful restaurant GLASS RESTAURANT.

I initially wasn’t attracted to Finnish food but they changed my mind guys! Who knew?!?

Read my review of their BREAKFAST BUFFET & ALA CARTE MENU here:

https://undiplomaticwife.com/glass-restaurant-rovaniemi/

It was the perfect place to eat after a long day of walking. It allowed us to try the best versions of FINNISH FOOD that we might not have been brave enough otherwise. 

We got to try moose, reindeer & salmon soup which are delicacies of the region. We were all very surprised by how delicious everything was.

You can see @diplobaby’s face after he found out he was eating reindeer. I told him they are retired reindeer and he ask for a bit more. I guess the foodie in him is strong. 😂🤭 taste surpasses all!

We also had TD’s birthday dinner there and they were so nice to serve the cake with a candle & a song. So sweet and definitely made us so happy!

We also enjoyed their breakfast buffet. The meatballs were especially delicious. 

The restaurant and buffet are small but mighty. You can tell you are having high quality food.

So many firsts in this restaurant & so many memories we treasure as a family.

Have you had Finnish cuisine? What’s your favorite?

ARCTIC OUTDOOR HOT TUB + SAUNA Did you guys know ARCTIC OUTDOOR HOT TUB + SAUNA

Did you guys know that 

“The Finnish sauna is a substantial part of Finnish and Estonian culture. It was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists on  December 17, 2020”

With over 3.3Million saunas for 5.5million inhabitants in Finland, it’s normal for a home or even a flat to have a sauna. (Figure from @vivefinlandia) 

Naturally our GLASS APARTMENT in @glass_resort had a fabulous on inside the bathroom.

It was @diplobaby’s first time & we asked the staff for recommendations to make his first experience a good one. He told us to lower the temp to 55C & have Jim’s sit in the bottom.

Our nervous son who usually doesn’t like the sound of fire crackling was able to over come his fear because he wanted to be the one to pour the water on the piping hot rocks. I just had to tell him not to do it so much so it wouldn’t be too hot.

I asked the staff how young kids sauna here & he said he’s been going since he was a baby!

As for the HOT TUB - it’s all of our first time to do it outdoors in the freezing arctic.

They showed us how to open & close the tub plus where NOT to step because it’s slippery. That’s why TD had to hang our robes from inside the tob.

It was a magical experience to be in a hot tub while looking up at the stars surrounded by snow in the Arctic. It was freezing for sure going in and out. Just think that cold exposure is actually healthy. SO against Filipino culture agains LAMIG (cold)!

Such a wonderful experience as a family! So grateful that we decided to do this for TD’s birthday last April! So worth it. We have him small inexpensive gifts because the true gift was this experience.

DINO WORLD EXPO One of the exhibitions that weren DINO WORLD EXPO

One of the exhibitions that weren’t here when we first went to @signaldebougy is the @dinoworldexpo. I was delighted that it was as interesting for the adults as it was for the kids. 

It closes at 7pm & we started at about 5:40pm already but it only takes 1-2hrs so we just hurried walking around so in other parts there was time to play.

What were the highlights for us?

- EXCAVATION a sandbox upgrade, making the littles feel like paleontologist
- ROBOTIC DINOS with interesting information
- QR codes if you want an AUDIO GUIDED TOUR
- GIANT AERIAL TRAMPOLINE was something new for @diplobaby
- AUGMENTED REALITY SANDBOX was super cool!
- DINO GOLF was fun for our group

What we didn’t get to do:
- BOUNCY LABYRINTH coz we didn’t have time anymore 
- THE FOSSIL RIVER coz you have to buy a bag of sand to do it

I’m glad we had time to have this fun experience after @accrobranche (see previous reels) because not only did we learn stuff, but it was a lot of fun!

DINO WORLD EXPO is open everyday 10am to 7pm until 20 August 2023 Signal de Bougy. There are 2 parking areas, but we opted to go later in the day - 230pm - so some people were already leaving and we found parking easily.

This place is around 40minutes give or take depending on where you live in Geneva.
