Making Memories and Keeping Them Safe

23 September 2016

Making Memories and Keeping Them Safe: Meem Cable Review | Ysis Lorenna - www.ysislorenna.com

My phone holds a lot more than just my address book, an arsenal of selfies and my ridiculously high score on Temple Run. Granted, it’s always been an extension of my body, but since becoming a mum, my phone has also become the most precious thing I own.

You see, I can’t fit my huge Canon 70D SLR camera in my changing bag. There’s just no space amongst all the nappies, bottles, dummies and changes of clothes. Also, I find that most of the time I can only really look after one big precious thing at a time, and with a toddler, of course he takes priority, so I end up leaving my big expensive camera at home for fear of forgetting it somewhere or breaking it whilst juggling the necessities of a tiny human.

So I’ve found myself using my phone for pretty much all the photos I’ve taken since James was born, except for a few rare occasions. Ok, the quality of an iPhone photo is nowhere near as good as of a DSLR camera, but if I have to choose between having a photo or none at all, I will always choose to capture the moment. My phone is light, convenient, always charged and always ready to go. I’ve been able to use my iPhone to capture my son’s first laugh, his first steps, along with hundreds of precious little moments that we will never get back, but I know I have a photo of it somewhere for memories sake.

I promise you this is not ‘an ode to iPhone’ blog post, but more like ‘an ode to capturing moments’ and keeping memories safe. This is where my new little gadget comes into play and gives me peace of mind on a daily basis. My iPhone pictures exist, but I rarely remember to back them up because it’s such a hassle to plug it into a computer or pay for iCloud storage and blah blah blah.

Since discovering Meem, I haven’t worried at all about my precious memories disappearing when I update my phone to the latest software or even if I lose my phone. In simple words, Meem is a phone charger cable that automatically backs up data on your phone to the cable itself every time you charge your phone. Isn’t that just genius?

I never forget to charge my phone, but I do forget to back my phone up, so with the Meem cable, whenever I charge my phone, my data gets backed up without me even having to think about it. What’s so good about Meem is that your data is not held in someone’s server or somewhere in the cloud where you have no control of. It’s right there, in the cable itself. Think of it as a built-in usb drive into your phone charger.

You can back up your photos, videos, contacts, messages and calendar, and if you need to access the backup, it’s very easy to do that from the Meem app on your phone. You can even send that backup to another phone, if you get a new phone or if you want to share pictures and videos with someone else. It works with both iPhone or Android phones.

So, technical jargon and specs aside, this little convenient cable has given me so much peace of mind in knowing that all my most precious memories and gorgeous pictures of my son are safe and within my control. It’s handy as well when I run out of space on my phone (all the time!) and I have to delete a few photos and videos to make room for more – at least I know I have a copy of all my photos before deleting them off my phone.

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
