Blogging Starter Pack

20/12/2016


This is not going to be my 'Wordless Wednesday' post. Just ignore the picture above. It's useless. Btw, I'm here to share with you guys my blogging starter pack! It is kinda accurate with my previous post on Blogging Apps Stock but that post talks more about 'apps or webs' I'm using to start my blog. Now, I am fully list all the 'things' that I really need to start making a post.

Maybe we have something in common? No? Okay. Here they are... ✌

Google Translate


I told you guys so many times that English is not my forte, I made grammar mistakes a lot. That is why I really need google translate to help me (sometimes) yeah but still, it is a need for me. Writing English is easy but to maintain the correct grammar is totally bad for me. I'm not good at it. This going to be my life saver, too.

Pinterest


I have a pinterest account, here. But I'm not active in asking people to follow me or myself follow the other people. I'm using pinterest because I can't transfer pictures that I took using my DSLR to my computer & straight to my iPhone. That is why I'm using this application to download all the pictures I took by my camera & save it to a new board that I set it to 'secret' mode. By doing this, i can easily download those images to my phone because I even downloaded this application to my phone.

Pinterest is also use by me to get cool quotes to be my wallpaper, dekstop cover & all. The main use of pinterest is to get stock photos! I bet you that you can easily find a lot of stock photos here. Just type anything you want like minimalist, love, tumblr, or scenery. It will show you a lot of best pictures for you to grab.

Pexels


If you are a fan of my blog *cough* then you will see that I am minimalist stock photos lover. For most of my posts I've made, I can say that I used minimalist style stock photos. That is because I love white & black theme of picture which suits my blog theme as well. But, in order to make my stock photos related to my entry, I sometimes need to find a picture where relates to my entry. Thus, I'm using pexels.com to get styled stock photos. For example like my previous post on Maintaining Long Distance Relationship where I am using couple stock photos, compared to others post that is more to minimalist style.

Notes



This not going to be a surprise if I show you all my notes I wrote on my laptop. This note is used to jot down all the ideas that crossed my mind on what I'm going to write on my blog. Whenever I get some ideas to write on my blog, I will straight away jot down on the notes whether on my laptop or my phone. This is the way to overcome writing block that I probably will face sooner or later. 

Photoscape


Last but not least, photoscape! I've been a photoscape user since I get to know how to use computer. It was a long long year ago. Maybe when I was 11. Once ago, photoscape is used to edit my beautiful picture lol. It also a place for me to collage the pictures that I took since that was kinda my zaman jahiliah where we edit glitters, strong filters on our picture.

Now, I'm using photoscape to edit texts on my stock photos to be my entry header. If you can see, most of the entries I made is almost edited with the title of the post itself. This is because I want to highlight the title to the readers & relate it to my photo. I did that because I don't like to see a plain/non-edited pictures to be my header post. It looks weird when it comes to my blog. Maybe it was affected my the design of my blog?

So, that is all my Blogging starter pack. Without them all, I am so sure that I can't even start to write a new entry. Surprisingly, I did this entry for an hour only because I usually take some days to finish it. Well, blogging mood is here!

So, what is your blogging starter pack? 😉

  2. My grammar and sentence contruct is horrible that sometime I thought that I need to recheck everything all over. I always used thesaurus and checked for synonyms which match the vibe that I want. Pexels collection is really good isnt it! I just learned to use stock photo. Seeing all these blogs having the post title on these photo really gives out professional vibes.

Review: Silkygirl & Maybelline Matte Lipsticks

Okay people, I know I have been missing in action on blogging for quite a while, I mean, for months and that's a very long time. I was MIA since the pandemic. You know, online class is freaking exhausting. I can adapt & I honestly love online classes but when examinations are replaced with continuous assessment, that's the real thing.  Back to my topic, I have been wanting to do this for a very long time but the time constraints. You know, since I'm a cheapskate especially to beauty products, specifically makeups, I bought everything from drugstores. Ngl, my preferred brand would be Silkygirl since the price is very affordable (that's why it's hard to find Silkygirl items with discounted price) and usually it will only offer you a maximum of 30% discount either in Watsons or Guardian.  I bought Maybelline's lipstick because of the trend and other's review, thus I think it would be an honour to review both since these are the most popular products and bra

Review : Silkygirl Magic BB Cushion

Well here's a thing : as you guys know that I really, really hate to put on foundation to my face, so I always change my BB or CC cream products, eventually. Then I decided to choose something that is full coverage with light texture just to make sure my skin can breathe well.

Coal Face Soap & Rosa Glow Essence by Kayman Beauty Review

First and foremost, I must tell you that I have been waiting to lay my hands on these products a long time ago. If you read all the feedback and results the products give to consumers, it works totally wonder and that makes me want to try it. Kayman Beauty is a well-known local brand that is safe and guaranteed based on the experiment from its founder itself & that encourages me more to try this out.   Plus, I don't really trust local brands but seeing the efforts from the founder (literally not timbang kilo type of product) and reading the feedback, I think this product should get attention from ladies out there. Looking forward this product to be exported into international market. Too much rants, I bought these 2 products which is Coal Face Soap & Rosa Glow Essence for RM 35 and RM 89 respectively. I bought from one of Kayman's agent that covers Shah Alam area. To be frankly honest, I bought these 3 months ago, which was in April. Let's talk abou
