Things I Use & Recommend

DAILY DEVICES

> iPhone 13 (Pink) - I don’t love Apple. I do, however, love pink. Plus their cameras are pretty good on darker skin compared to Samsung, which I usually use. I’m planning to switch to a Google Pixel.

> Samsung Galaxy Buds2 - I’ve used these for six years and they have not died on me yet.

> iPod Classic (2009, Grey, Rockbox) + Sony Earbuds - the best setup honestly. One of my goals in 2026 was to leave Spotify and as of Jan 13, 2026, i don't pay for music services and instead just pay artists directly for their music (if they sell MP3s). I also have a black one for my future y2k-loving husband so we can match.

> Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15.6” (Personal) - It’s alright. There's a problem with the fan being super loud but I can't be bothered to get it fixed.

> Lenovo ThinkPad (Work) - It’s really ugly but its reliable. And tiny, so good for when i WFH.

> iPad Air 3 (Purple) - Bought with student loan money. I use it to watch videos at work during the slow season, and for art.

> Kobo Clara BW E-Reader - I read like 2x a year but I really love it. I need to read more. Fuck Kindle.

> Keychron Keyboard K10 Max QMK (with custom keys) - My nails are too long but it makes nice sounds.

RECORDING / MEDIA

> Canon Vixia HF R700 Camcorder - It’s old but I like the look it gives.

> Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92 Digital Camera (2003) - Found at Goodwill Online. It's nice not having filters placed on you without your knowledge (im looking at you Samsung).

> Astro Gaming Headset - Back when I was an e-girl this was useful.

> Microsoft LifeCam Studio - For video diaries. It was used to take the pic in the About Me

> SanDisk 1TB Extreme SSD - Home videos. Music archive. Personal files.

SOFTWARE

> MusicBee - Independently made music organization software. Really good...except it sometimes plays music on its own. [ghost emoji]

> OBS - Recording myself for Video Diaries.

> Google Chrome / Opera - I actually wanted to switch away from google but its just so much more convenient.

> Proton VPN (paid) - Everyone needs a VPN! Watch out for thier Black Friday sales.

> Google Photos (paid) - Because I'm not locked to iCloud. I used to have an LG phone, then a Samsung, and now Apple, and I can use this with all three.

FINANCES

> Fidelity - American financial services company. How I track my net worth. This is also where my retirement and brokerage accounts live.

> Google Sheets - I use this for literally everything. I love tracking money manually.
