SITEGROUND
Website Hostin
My personal favorite for web hosting. I’ve been using them since my blog was a baby, and they’ve stuck with me through thick and thin. Plus, their customer service team is AMAZING. Seriously, they helped me at 3 AM when I accidentally broke my site (don’t ask!).
Remember, investing in reliable hosting is like buying a good mattress. It supports you while you sleep (or in this case, while you’re out living your best life!).
Grammarly
WRITING TOOL
Grammarly is my best friend and worst critic, all wrapped into one. There have been days when I’ve got a perfectly crafted sentence (or so I thought), only for Grammarly to roll its eyes and give me the dreaded red line. But hey, it’s saved me from many a typo disaster. Plus, it makes me look way smarter than I actually am, and who doesn’t love that?
Tip: Grammarly isn’t just for blogs; use it for emails, social media posts, or when you text your boss at 2 AM with an ‘innovative’ idea (Just me? Oops!).
Canva
Design Tools
I couldn’t make a decent graphic to save my life until I found Canva. Now I’m whipping up Pinterest pins, Instagram posts, and blog graphics like a pro.
