SelfisticK by PhotoBOMB ★ Selfie Stick Promotion Review
At nearly forty years old my daughter Selena fought the cool kid selfie stick phenomenon as long as she could.

This Bluetooth PhotoBOMB is so easy to use that a three-year-old can take great photos too. It really is a lot of fun to let Alice wander around and take her own selfies. I can’t wait for my Wallpics arrive. Imagine a gallery wall of canvas shots taken by a three-year old Alice. How fun will that be? How to use: Pair…
