Stuff Steph Loves

I’m a bit of a magpie when it comes to gadgets, products, and tools – always on the lookout for things that spark joy, save time, or just make life a little bit easier. Here’s a collection of my current favourites that range from tech to wellness, with a bit of everyday magic thrown in.

    Why I Love It: For those of us who still have a love affair with handwritten notes but want the convenience of digital, the Remarkable 2 tablet is a revelation. It feels like writing on paper but offers all the benefits of digital – syncing notes, converting handwriting to text, and sharing across devices. Plus, it’s blissfully distraction-free.
  2. Oura Ring

    Why I Love It: Sleep is the real deal, and the Oura Ring takes tracking it to another level. It’s sleek, comfortable, and offers incredibly detailed insights into your sleep, readiness, and activity levels. It’s like having a personal wellness coach on your finger. The data it provides has genuinely helped me make better choices for my overall health.
  3. Lume Cube Video Conference Lighting Kit

    Why I Love It: Let’s be honest; Zoom fatigue is real, but bad lighting is worse. This tiny but powerful light attaches easily to your laptop and gives you a glow that says ‘I’m totally awake and enthusiastic,’ even when you’re not. It’s adjustable, portable, and has been a game-changer for virtual meetings.
  4. Canva Pro

    Why I Love It: Canva is my go-to for everything from creating social media graphics to designing presentations. The Pro version unlocks a world of features – from background removal to brand kits. It’s so user-friendly that even the most design-averse among us can create something stunning in minutes.
  5. Aarke Carbonator 3

    Why I Love It: Sparkling water is my daily indulgence, and the Aarke Carbonator makes it both stylish and sustainable. This sleek, stainless-steel soda maker is a design statement in itself, but it’s also incredibly efficient. Plus, it means no more lugging heavy bottles or contributing to plastic waste – a win for me and the planet.
  6. Muse S Headband

    Why I Love It: Meditation can be a bit of a slippery fish – one minute you’re zen, the next you’re planning dinner. The Muse S headband tracks brain activity, heart rate, and more, offering real-time feedback to help guide you back to calm. It’s like having a mindfulness coach whispering in your ear.
  7. Evernote
    Buy Here
    Why I Love It: My brain is like a never-ending brainstorm, and Evernote helps me capture every idea, to-do list, and random thought. It’s where my digital brain lives, and I couldn’t survive without its organisational magic. Syncs beautifully across all devices and makes finding that crucial note from three months ago a breeze.
  8. Theragun Mini

    Why I Love It: Whether it’s a post-workout ache or just a result of too many hours at the desk, the Theragun Mini is my portable massage therapist. It’s compact, powerful, and perfect for relieving muscle tension anytime, anywhere. I’ve started carrying it in my bag because you never know when a mini massage moment might be needed!
  9. Brave Browser
    Download Here
    Why I Love It: Privacy is paramount, and the Brave browser is all about protecting it. It’s fast, secure, blocks trackers, and doesn’t sell your data. Plus, it’s got a built-in crypto wallet if that’s your thing. A great alternative to the usual suspects when you want to keep your browsing habits, well, private.
  10. Mindfulness Bell App
    Download Here
    Why I Love It: A simple app that rings a bell at random intervals to remind you to take a breath, stretch, or simply be present. It’s a small thing, but it adds a layer of calm to my day. Perfect for those of us who tend to get lost in the busyness of things.

There you have it, a collection of things making my life a little brighter, easier, or just a tad more interesting right now. If you try any of them, I’d love to know what you think!
