Giveaway: Win 1 of 3 Selfie Bags from Cotton Bag Co
So many of us love to take a good selfie while we’re out about, whether it’s alone or with friends and family.
The clever people at Cotton Bag and Co have created a Selfie Bag to help us take perfect selfies!
They’ve kindly given me three to give away and you can enter at the bottom of this post.
The bag itself is a large cotton bag and has a gorgeous, bright and modern design of abstract eyes.

It’s an improved version of their original bag which was out a few months ago. They have added some great extras including:
-A portable LED light that clips onto your phone
-A pop-out reflector/ defuser panel to help get softer lighting on the face
-A Bluetooth tripod selfie stick to take selfies from up high to fit a group of people or a gorgeous background landscape into the shot.
-A zipped inside pocket for your valuables
The default option to purchase these on the website is for bulk buying, but you can also buy them individually by emailing or calling the company direct.

In my case the best selfies are fron straight on (rather than a side view) and looking up (to redue the double chin effect)
