Pool Days with the Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Traveling this summer has been a top priority for me and relaxing poolside along with beach days have been the normal. Nothing is better than being able to enjoy your family fun days with your favorite music playlist streaming in the background! The Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Bluetooth Speaker is the perfect travel companion and comes with 1 micro USB cable, 1 carabiner clip, a quick start guide and warranty information. The Baby Boom XL is user friendly and sets up in a couple of minutes.

You get up to six hours of battery life to enjoy your favorite tunes, access your virtual voice assistant or hands-free speaker phone. The Baby Boom XL is water proof and even floats in the water. It has a IP67 waterproof rating and can handle being in the sand on the beach while also being snow proof and dirt proof. It’s available in three colors: royal blue, mint and torch red. I have the mint color and it fits perfect with all my summer décor and travel style.

Using the quick start guide to pair the Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker to my phone was easy and done within a couple of minutes. I then opened my Google Play App and started to stream music from my favorite R&B/Neo Soul Station that I have programmed on my phone. True Wireless pairing is available for double the volume. It has a mean bass and I love it. You get a 30-foot wireless range that allows you to move around with ease. I was excited to take it to the pool and test it in water.

The Baby Boom XL is totally water proof and it floats on the surface of the water. It even got splashed a few times and I was able to wipe it off with no issues and it continued to work perfectly. It’s petite in size but has the best sound bursting from the speaker. I didn’t even turn it all the way up to its maximum volume and it was LOUD! You also get assured privacy that your data is NOT being shared, just your music! This is the best summer addition tech for fun days!

Overall, I really enjoy using the Baby Boom XL Bluetooth Speaker. It’s lightweight and easy to transport on your adventures. You can easily pair it to any Bluetooth enabled device. It will fully charge within two hours and give you up to 6 hours of audio per charge. It’s available at Best Buy and retails for $29.99 with a price match guarantee. Head on over to the Best Buy website for additional information on the Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

Get To Know the HP AMP 100 Printer

I am so excited to be reviewing the HP AMP 100 Printer. It’s a compact printer with a built in Bluetooth Speaker that works with your mobile devices in conjunction with the HP Smart app. It’s very user friendly and easy to set up. I had it set up within a few minutes and was up and running in no time. The first thing I did when I took it out the box was power it up and installed my ink cartridges. I then opened the HP Smart app which was already downloaded on my phone and started the pairing process.

Once my phone was paired to my HP AMP Printer I was able to play music directly from my Google Playlist and it sounds amazing! I turned the volume all the way up, enjoyed the bass and was dancing to the beat! The clarity was excellent! It was fun to make a phone call to my mom and it was automatically synced to the speaker. I had a hands free conversation at my desk right on the HP Amp. It was so cool I had to record a video and share it on Instagram Stories and Twitter. You can control your calls or music on the audio control panel.

Let me also mention that the printer actually prints! Lol! After I completed setting everything up through the HP app, it automatically printed a confirmation sheet that everything was set up correctly. You can use your printer control panel and also print photos and documents directly from the apps you use daily. I created a HP Connected account and took advantage of the 3 months free of HP ink with an additional 2 months free as a back-to-school promo. So, I now have 5 months of free ink available to me. I’m able to monitor and order ink directly from the app. I’m not complaining!

OneDrive is an app I use frequently so that I have access to important documents on all my devices. It allows you to access anything you save in OneDrive from any laptop, phone or tablet. This makes it super easy to just print directly from your phone when necessary. I also received a $10.00 Redeemable Google Play Gift Card code that I can use towards music, movies, apps, books, games or the newsstand. The printer also comes with a built in USB port so that you can charge your phone! I mean they thought of everything! I’m 99.9% sure one of my sons will hijack this printer from me.

The HP Smart App allows you to scan files using your camera and share to your email or the cloud from practically anywhere. You all know how much I love convenience! The HP AMP is the perfect size. It fits on my desk and I still have space to work and set things down as needed. The compact design is picture-perfect and it fits right in with my home office décor. I know my work space just got a bit more festive with the addition of the HP AMP 100 Printer. I usually have the TV playing in the background while I work; now it will be music from my favorite apps streaming on my HP AMP.

The HP Amp will be available exclusively with Walmart (priced at $129), available online starting August 19th and in stores August 26th. Tip: The speaker audio will stop when the printer is in use for the best print quality and will automatically resume after the print job is complete. You can also pair additional devices to the speaker. Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be paired and stored in the printer memory and two devices can be connected to the printer at the same time.

Sharing My Moto Love

Disclosure: I’m a Motorola Moto Maker (Brand Ambassador). All opinions are mine alone. I’m sharing how my Moto X, Moto 360 and Moto Surround work well together and my love for them.

I appreciate when my phone and accessories can work seamlessly hand in hand. It was love at first sight when I designed my Motorola Moto X (2nd Generation) Mobile Phone in MotoMaker and created my personal masterpiece. I LOVE my violet case, metallic violet accents with my name engraved on it. I was even able to customize my start screen greeting. Since powering up my Moto X it has really adapted to my way of life and makes things so much easier. I must admit that I love Moto Assist, it knows when I want quiet time and will keep my notifications quiet when I want to rest. Moto Voice allows me to access certain features of my phone when it’s not within my reach. The “Find My Phone” feature is pretty cool, especially when you misplace your phone in the house or anywhere else for that matter. You just say “Find My Phone” and your phone will ring. Moto Actions is pretty awesome allowing you to access your display by reaching towards your phone or you can silence calls or alarms by the wave of your hand AND… you can launch your camera by twisting your wrist twice quickly. If you do it again you access your front facing camera. This comes in handy when I need to access my camera in a hurry to get that great shot! It beats unlocking my phone and then finding my camera icon. It’s such a time saver!

My Moto 360 Smart Watch works so well with my Moto X. I am able to really utilize Moto Body and access my activity tracker anytime on my wrist. I’ve become obsessed with keeping track of my steps along with how many calories I’ve burned. I track my activity throughout the day and I also like monitoring my heart activity from time to time. I like being able to get notifications on my wrist. My phone is usually in my pocket book and I can see who’s calling and answer or ignore a call on my Moto 360. I can respond to text messages on my Moto 360 and it’s super convenient. I can give my Moto 360 voice commands and it will launch a feature, app or allow me to set an alarm. I love the “Navigate to a gas station nearby” feature. I’m notorious for driving my SUV until it’s below a quarter of a tank and needing to find a convenient gas station to fill up. The Google Maps App and GPS Navigation is great to have on your wrist. It even vibrates to alert you of an upcoming exit, roadwork or even an accident ahead. I’ve taken a few road trips with my Moto 360 and it makes my travel experience so much easier. I also love how I am able to customize my Moto 360 watch face to purple blossoms. I also have my color set to purple when it’s charging on the dock. It tells the time and how charged your device is. #MotoLove

I’ve never really been into headphones but, I’m totally sold on the Moto Surround. Moto Surround are wireless earbuds. They have powerful HD sound, are great to wear constantly and are sweat and waterproof. It was super easy to charge up my earbuds and pair it to my Moto X. You have a status light that will alert you when it’s fully charged, pairing, connected, charging or if you have a low battery. When you power up it will let you know that you are connected and how charged your earbuds are. You can also quickly press the power button throughout the day and it will tell you how much play time you have remaining. You have volume and track controls for when you listen to music. You also have two buttons that control calls, voice and music. I really like that the buttons on the end of my earbuds are magnetic allowing me to place my earbuds on them for safe keeping when not in use. I like the convenience of taking phone calls on my earbuds. It’s pretty cool! I’ve been listening to music on my phone a whole lot more. I can honestly get lost in my tunes and the sound is soooo good, I can’t hear anything else going on around me. I can get up to twelve hours of play time on my Moto Surround.

Moto Connect is the bomb dot com! It basically keeps track of all my devices paired to my Moto X. Moto Connect can let you know what devices are currently connected or disconnected to your phone via BlueTooth. It also let’s you know how charged each device is. I also have a Motorola Power Pack Micro that comes in handy when I am on the go and on my phone constantly. You can never have enough back up power to stay charged up. I’m going to tell you that ALL my Moto devices are super convenient to have and make my life easier. Bonus: They look good too! You know I love my stylish technology. I’m sharing my #MotoLove. Be sure to check out the latest Moto X Pure Edition and New Moto 360. I’ve got them on my wish list! What feature on your phone and accessory can you absolutely NOT live without?
