The Ultimate Blogging Wishlist

Being a blogger is fun; I get to review and talk about all of my favourite products, go new places and do new things and I have absolutely loved the year Made From Beauty has had…but recently I have really been trying to ‘up my blogging game’ or take things a little bit more professionally. So today I’ve put together the ‘ultimate’ blogging wishlist; the if-money-wasn’t-an-object wishlist! I know, I know there’s no beauty in this post, but don’t panic we’ll be back to it tomorrow at 6.00am GMT. So let’s take a look at all the bits of tech and homeware I’m saving for here at Made From Beauty’s HQ…

Olympus PEN E-PL7 Compact System Camera with 14-42mm EZ Lens

This camera is becoming a bit of a blogger cliché, I know, but there’s no doubt that this is one beautiful, powerful piece of tech. I’d love a smaller camera to take with me when I’m out and about to get high-quality images, especially for Instagram, so I’m saving the pennies for this one.

Phot-R® PRO 5-in-1 Photo Studio Collapsible Triangular Light Reflectors

These little handheld reflectors would hopefully be a god-send when photographing things in low light meaning I wouldn’t have to use my studio lights as often. I’m trying to avoid using my lighting more and more these days as I find the artificial light can sometimes give my photos an odd look.

GorillaPod

Just an old GorillaPod would be much appreciated! I am looking to branch out into YouTube later in the year and I want to get some really cool shots all over the place, so this little bit of tech might make things easier on the go.

Lexon Babylon Pen in Grey

I like to make handwritten notes quite a lot during my post writing process, so I’m always on the hunt for desk accessories that look stylish. I absolutely love this pen, it’s just a normal ballpoint pen, but has a holder that stays on your desk – I love it because it reminds me of a inkwell.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Lens

For my DSLR I have the standard kit lens it came with and a Nikon 50mm Macro Lens, which are both great for landscapes and very close details, but my collection is really lacking a middle ground and this lens would be absolutely perfect. It would also give me the ability to film with DSLR, which I can’t currently do really with the lenses I have – this one is right at the top of my wishlist!

TP-Link 10400MAH Portable Power Bank

Every blogger out there will be with me when I say that we all need a battery power pack every now and then. Being glued to my social media means my little iPhone runs out of battery pretty quickly, so this power pack would be a great way to keep me on track with all my blog promoting and tweeting throughout the day.

SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad

Now this is a clever little gadget! I am forever running out of space on my iPhone and iPad because I love to hoard photos for weeks before finally writing the posts to go with them. This little drive allows you to externally store all your photos are videos and then simple pop it in the bottom to use on your iPhone or tablet – the perfect tool for editing those DSLR photos and a storage solution all in one.

House of Hackney Palmeral Print A5 Notebook in Midnight

I really like to make blogging notes and plans on paper, I even sometimes write a whole post in a notebook and sit on it for a couple of weeks before publishing. I’ve been in store and saw this gorgeous notebook and let me tell you, it’s just as stylish and luxurious in real life.

Katie Loxton ‘Shine Bright’ Sweet Orange and Mango Scented Candle

When I’m hard at work with my blog work I love to have a candle burning and the scent of this one is sweet, uplifting and warm – just the think to get those creative juices flowing!

GoPro HERO4 SILVER

As I said, I really want to get into YouTube this year, so I can’t deny part of me totally wants a Go Pro to capture some beautiful shots when me and Josh go traveling. I really want my channel to be all about lots of things, not only product reviews, it’s a project I can’t wait to embark on!

So if you’re a blogger, what’s on your blogging wishlist? Or have you tried any of the products I’ve mentioned? Let me know in the comments below!
