🧾 5 Cheap Purchases That Have Improved My Life…

1. Gym Locks (x2) 🔒

These are so good I actually bought two. 😅

I keep one in each of my rucksacks. It means going to the gym when I’m out is less hassle.

I don’t have to worry about getting my stuff stolen, as I can just chuck it in a locker there.

I don’t have to run home to grab a lock either as I always have one on me.

Plus if you are out and about in a city like London, I think locking your bag to a chair/ table at a Cafe is not a bad idea. Especially with all of the pick pockets out there.

2. Air Tags

These have (without a shadow of a doubt) saved me HUNDREDS of pounds. 🤑

If you are a forgetful person (I certainly am) buying these are a no brainer.

They are fairly pricy - around £80-£90 for four of them… but stay with me.

Not only has this helped me find my wallet, bags and keys REALLY quickly…

But it’s also saved me HOURS of my life, looking for everyday items when I’m in a rush.

Back in College these saved my life when I was late for class!

3. Owala Water Bottles

Back when me and my girlfriend went to America, we saw everyone using these water bottles. 👀

A couple weeks ago, my girlfriend bought her and I one of these each. Hands down this is the BEST water bottle I’ve ever used.

It’s a great size, really durable/ strong and keeps fluid hot/cold.

But the best thing about it is the fact is has a chug and a straw feature built into the bottle. It’s so clever!

4. Note Books

I write loads into leather note books every single day!

I just find writing via paper + pen is so much nicer and brings a different level of creativity.

And I manage to fill these note books up surprisingly quickly.

I mainly use them for journaling, writing notes when listening to sermons or reading books, or drafting content ideas.

5. Air Pods

Okay, this might be a little bit embarrassing…

But I have almost certainly lost 4 pairs of airpods in my life. 🥴

Yeah… it’s not great. I once, dropped a pair in the sea by accident 😂

Anyway, I don’t think I could seriously ever go without these. They are so small and easy to transport and pair instantly.

For me though, the first gen are the only ones that I like. I couldn’t get on with the second gen, they felt odd in my ears.

It’s so convenient to chuck them in my ears when doing errands or when walking somewhere and just bang through a podcast or audiobook.

For £99, I think these are a no brainer, great value purchase.

Make sure to buy these new from Apple, or a reputable retailer - fake ones of these are being sold EVERYWHERE on reselling platforms and even find their ways onto official Amazon listings.

👀 Things I’m Liking Right Now:

nothing, expect everything. - A Short Film On YouTube

You might have seen this YouTube video pop up on your feed recently.

After being recommended it several times, I finally watched it today and was so entirely captivated.

I was so fully engrossed in the wonder of this short film.

At the end of that short 12 minutes, I felt like I had just finished the most amazing 2 hour film.

And I was pleased to hear after watching this, that the film maker who made this was approached by Sony to make this a feature film (which I will 100% be watching as soon as it comes out).

Amazon Price Trackers

This is an awesome website which I made a TikTok video about the other day.

Amazon is a deceptive platform. It’s algorithm combined with AI, means that the price of items are never consistent.

The price of an item one day might be £100 but the next be £150. It depends on what Amazon chooses.

As consumers it’s almost too easy to assume Amazon always is giving you the best prices, but this simply isn’t true.

So I find it’s best to look at the historical pricing of items on Amazon through Camel Camel Camel (a free website), or Keepa.com (a free extension). That way you’ll know for sure that you’re getting the right price.
