My Blogging Must-Haves!

I am no techie and I don’t have all the gizmos + gadgets, but the list below are the things I'm either using now, or have used in order to actually blog, plus they’re affordable which is ALWAYS a bonus!


You don’t need to have expensive tools to start (unless you already have them) and these all work and are perfect for me and my needs


This laptop is compact, fast & easy to use, It's fab for blogging and I love it! (it's a Windows as I'm not a MAC user)


I love this mouse as it's super smooth. I've had a few (some expensive) but I love this one as it's light, not expensive & simple!


I adore this laptop bag. It has so much space inside too, so I can carry everything I need around it in. It's super cute too!


I love a good notebook to jot everything down & this one's soft, affordable and simple!

Courses I've taken & highly recommend!


I've always been a HUGE believer in the fact we should always be learning and growing - I mean how we can continue to teach to others if we're never exploring new skills. I continually invest in myself and take courses when I need to.


These courses are ones I've personally taken and truly loved. Not only are Suzi, Jenna & Eb amazing, I've learnt so much from them and have been able to implement the things I learnt into my own blog...
