YouTuber of The Month August 2015

I thought I would a new series of blog posts on my blog called YouTuber of the Month. Literally, because I am kind of obsessed with YouTube especially beauty and lifestyle videos but many other videos too. I thought would share with you those YouTubers I am loving and see where it goes from there.

The first ever YouTuber of The Month goes to

Kristina at Pretty Shiny Sparkly.  

Here is the link to her Welcome video and you can access her channel too. 

I choose Kristina partly because she is living the life I hope to one day have which is a successful full time career alongside her blogging career. I find it quite interesting how she has built her channel up alongside her career, and how she manages to keep it so successful at the same time. I hope I can take everything associated with www.kathrynbracewell.com to the next level. 

See you guys next time. If you have any new suggestions for any new subscriptions please do comment below. 

My favorite apps for social media and blogging

I recently wrote a post about my Everyday Survival Kit. I thought I would extend the post and write about my favourite apps for social media and blogging that I use on my iPad and iPhone on a daily basis.

1. Facebook
It is one of the simplest social media apps to use, I use this to check my news feed and post my photos and immediate statuses. I think it is also a really good app to start with as a beginner.

2. Twitter
I use this to check the news feed on the go.

3. Instagram
Easy to use and a great way to edit photos. It also allows me to post to my Twitter and Facebook (and Tumblr but that's more for personal use).

4. Blogger
I love this app as this allows me to quickly upload my photos of my blogs quickly and when I am really busy write my posts on the go.

5. Hootsuite and Buffer
My schedule app for my facebook personal account, facebook page and Twitter feeds and Google+ and Linkedin.

6. Pages
This app I access the messages for my page.

What are your favourite apps?

My Every Day Survival Kit

I thought it would be interesting to show you what I use on a regular basis and never really leaves my side throughout the day. My survival kit is mainly the stuff I use for my blogging and writing.

iPad 
I don't really watch TV on an actual television, it tends to be on my ipad, because it is portable and I can watch it from anywhere I am working or relaxing. I also use a variety of apps to post and schedule my social media posts. It is also the main place I access my emails. I also edit my videos on this with iMovie

iPhone 
This is a lifeline. I tend to use it to take photos for my blog and create my youtube videos until I save up for a new camera. It also my social media scheduler and checker on the go.

Pens 
A staple for every writer. I always carry at least one.

Notebooks
It is the best way to get everything in my brain down and draft some earlydrafts dependent on my mood.

Laptop 
I use this to do the bulk of my final drafts of writing projects and blog posts

Blogging Diary Folder
A recent saviour I am using this to schedule and improve my posts.

Diary
All appointments, meetings and interviews safe in one place but also to my iPhone and iPad.  

Juice 
My big bottle of juice to keep me hydrated.

What is your day to day survival kit?
