What is it you can’t do without? Here are my Home Blogger’s Essentials in a flatlay. Some of the basics I can’t live without are…
Tech
Canon G10 6.1-30.5mm This camera has been a complete godsend as it’s small enough to be portable and handbag-happy yet powerful enough to shoot events and has a cool retro case to boot.
Mac laptop I generally load on my Mac desktop, but this has gone to every fashion week and I am a complete Mac convert.
Lenmar Helix This little pack is a 11,000mAH battery pack for charging up tablets and mobiles. You plug it in at home to charge up and then carry it with you in the car or handbag to recharge dying phone and laptops. Brilliant.
Beauty
Karen Murrell The original nude shade cordovan.natural is my fave.
Clarins Their latest lip balm crayon in coral has been on my lips since it arrived.
NIVEA Stress Protect a clinical strength deodorant for when things are a bit stressful and you sweat more.
Rimmel London lipbalm crayon is a nice red at a cheap price too.
Essie polish yes I love coral nails what can I say?
ORLY nail lacquer in a great shade.
BECCA matte coverage foundation is the highest coverage foundation makeup I have from this amazing cruelty-free brand.
Sansceuticals the ideal little lipbalm tin for your purse from Lucy Marr of Lucy & the Powder Room.
Benefit Majorette blush compact in pink-peach and an adorable cute tin.
Original & Mineral Detangling hairbrush- a great detangling hairbrush; really works.
Health
Blackmores Executive B- stress formula has vitamins, minerals and herbs to support the nervous system and adrenal glands.
MitoQ capsules have arevolutionary antioxidant that sound like a miracle roll-call for me right now so I am taking these daily. MitoQ is a groundbreaking new form of CoQ10 antioxidant, discovered at University of Otago, that allows your mitochondria, the body’s ‘cellular batteries’ to work to their full potential. MitoQ supports organ health and keeps the effects of enemies of energy, including ageing, oxidative stress, hangover and sickness at bay. It is available in selected pharmacies and online at www.mitoq.com/nz in capsule format as well as a skin serum which I almost out of, I have used it nightly.
Red Seal toothpaste – love this as it’s healthy and is a New Zealand company, too.
