Thinking of starting vlogging?
Well look no further, here are a few of my vlogging essentials. This is more targeted at those wanting to produce travel/ daily style vlogs.
I would also like to state having a laptop or some kind of computer is always essential, but that's essential in life in general... right?
So onto the actual list:
Canon G7X
Obviously this is my camera of choice, there are a lot of similar cameras on the market, so have a look around & see which seems right for you. I love this camera as it's nice & lightweight. It also has a flip up screen which is perfect for vlogging, so you can exactly see yourself. This makes it a lot easier to frame your shots.
SD Card
This one really is necessary, as you can't use the camera without it! You should always have at least two SD cards to hand, as you never know how much footage you're going to get. So make sure you always have one in your camera (that's not full) & a spare.
Camera Battery
Another item you need to actually make your camera work. Obviously I know, but they're so easy to forget if you're charging them. Again the trick here is to have spares. I find the Canon G7X battery isn't that great, so I'd said if you buy this camera a spare is a must!
Gorilla Pod
These are a great bit of kit. It's basically a flexible tripod, which come with both a Go Pro & standard tripod thread. These are interchangeable too. I use this tripod constantly, as it's super handy & easier to adjust than a normal tripod. I also find it makes it more comfortable to hold my Canon camera if it's attached to this tripod.
Go Pro & Micro SD Card
I thought I'd put these two together as they work in conjunction with each other. Go Pro's aren't cheap so if you don't think you're going to filming anything too sporty or adventurous then don't waste your cash. However you can get some awesome & creative shots with a Go Pro which you wouldn't necessarily achieve which a normal camera. The model I own is the Hero3+ Black Edition.

Calling all videographers/ vloggers you need a Go Pro in your life!
Now they aren't anything new, but they certainly are special.
Go Pro really did get it right. They are a such a versatile camera you'll be amazed the minute you pick one up. From the live feed app to the waterproof housing these cameras are 'Go anywhere, Do anything'.
If you're looking to create awesome promotional videos or just travel vlogs for fun this is the perfect bit of kit!
Although they & the accessories aren't cheap they all have their uses depending what use you plan to get out of this camera. They have some awesome kits for such things like scuba diving. I would love to take this diving!
The possibilities really are endless with these things.
You an easily use them for more simple things like driving time lapses for vlogging or cool dog, chest or head cam. There are so many accessories you can use to make your content & productions that bit more creative & stylish.
Honestly I think it's an essential piece of kit for anyone interested in video. They now also have some more bargain friend models, so definitely check them out!

We all have essentials that we can't live without!
However these can sometimes change, so I wanted to show you guys some of my current essentials.
Nikon D7100
This is my favourite camera I own. Firstly look at it! It's beautiful (sorry I'm a nerd).
It is also the camera I use for any photo shoots I do & to film my youtube videos. So I don't know what I'd do without this camera! It's literally like a limb to me, I use it daily.
This isn't just a current essential, this is a permanent essential! Love it!
Michael Kors Watch
I couldn't tell you which watch this is (Do they even have names?) but I've had it for about 3 years & it's still perfect. It has the odd little scratch however it is practically perfect! I wear it constantly because it's beautiful as well as practical. It also has the date on the face too, which I need because otherwise I'd have no idea what day it is.
GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition
Yes another camera. This camera is completely different though. I plan on doing more vlogging for my youtube channel so I have been loving using my GoPro. The quality of GoPro cameras is amazing. Would definitely recommend them, however there are still some accessories I need to get for it!
Peppersmith Lemon Mints
I got sent these mints to try & I love them! The lemon ones are the best, they're so yummy. They're also really good for your teeth as they can prevent decay! I do have a separate blog post on these, so if you'd like to read more on them & how they work

Benefit Sugarbomb Lipgloss & MAC Dervish Lip Liner
This is basically my 'go to' nude lip look, which I will have a separate blog post on soon!

Hence why I decided to do one again this year :)
