ORIGRAMI - Instagram Prints

On my last post I mentioned this cool website I'd discovered to order Instagram prints: Origrami. I immediately ordered some and was super excited to receive them! They got here perfectly on time from Sidney and I couldn't be happier with the result! Every little detail is taken care of, and the quality of the whole thing is amazing!







The little cardboard box the prints come in is already super cute. I am one of this obsessed-with-nice-packing people, and I must admit that it was easy to fell for Origrami from the beginning. 

...and what can I say about the little Thank You note? Maybe just replying: Thank YOU!
















I ordered the 36 polaroid-style prints on 4"x5" matte cards pack. They have multiple design themes for the back, including photo map when location is included. Date and number of likes is also noted on top.

They offer free shipping worldwide, which is definitely an opportunity not to miss!

I honestly love - and kind of admire - these new companies that are smart enough to take advantage of current trends and people obsessions (come on, don´t tell me I am the only one here who is crazy about Instagram? Hum?); offering such detailed and neat products.

Well done Jeff&Betsy, here is a well deserved shout-out for you guys!

JUNE FAVORITES

I keep forgetting cool things I discover... I always think I should start a movie or book journal where I list all the good ones I've watched/read, but then I never do it! So in the meantime I decided I'm gonna start summarizing here every Month's favorite stuff.

#1 I go to the movies a lot, at least once a week, and the problem with that is that I'm never objective about a movie... It's hard for me to give an opinion because I enjoy watching everything. In June, I really enjoyed Populaire and Stuck in Love. The first one is really nice and easy to watch (late 50s fashion, loved it!), it is the story of a secretary whose boss helps her become a speed typing champion. I also really like Romain Duris since I saw him on Heart Breaker. And the second one is a comedy-drama type of thing about a family of writers and his love dilemmas with each other and others. It was nice to see Logan Lerman again, and definitely Greg Kinnear, he is so good!




I can now do a double #2, since this two favorites are part of the same discovery. I've had a new addiction for quite some months now: YouTube!! Vlogs, channels, youtubers... There's a whole world out there, and you can't imagine how catching it can be. 

So through my ultimate youtuber, Tyler Oakley, I knew about John Green and his brother Hank. They have a common channel called VlogBrothers where they talk a little bit about everything and try to "raise nerdy to the power of awesome". 

John is a successful writer and following Tyler's recommendation I decided to make his book The fault in our stars the first one of my summer readings. It tells the story about Hazel, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient, who falls in love with Augustus, a boy from her support group. Despite having cancer as a guiding force, the book is anything but sad... It is fun, hopeful, clever and has great mentions (it even made me think about what happened to Holden Caulfield's sister, Phoebe? What, what, WHAT?!). They are turning it into a movie and I can´t wait.


#3 is also related with YouTube somehow... Shane Dawson, a well known youtuber, has recently started his own Podcast, "Shane and Friends", and it is hilarious! I normally listen to them while going for a walk, and I am pretty sure people around think I'm crazy since I can't stop laughing for a second. 

The whole Podcast thing is actually new for me and has definitely become something regular (do you see a pattern here...?).


I found #4 when I was looking for a good website/app to print my Instagram pictures. Origrami was the coolest one (I must also say their prices are not crazy at all and they offer free shipping worldwide!) so I ordered a bunch of them - although I haven't receive them yet and I am so excited... 

I picked the double sided prints, with Polaroid style front and photo map back (if location is included), showing date taken and number of likes. They also send you a free photo folder. Don't you find this super complete? 

Finally, my #5 favorite this month are Two-Pieces sets! I find them cute, fun, fresh... and I can´t wait to spot the perfect one and order it. 

Do you have any new favorites?
