I'm a firm believer in being a lifetime learner. That's why I am constantly reading blogs, listening to podcasts, watching webinars, and taking e-courses. I also tend to obsess over things that make my life easier, like planners and software. So here's what I'm into right now:

E-Courses:
Braid Creative Branding E-Course for Creative Entrepreneurs - I am so excited about this e-course! Some of my favorite local creatives combined their previous e-courses along with all new content to form this new all-inclusive e-course. I'm in the process of rebranding my business, so I'm totally going to be taking this course. Regardless of your life/business stage, this class will help you figure out how show up as who you are.
Business Must-Haves:
Freshbooks - I didn't use accounting software until this year, and I don't know what I was waiting for. I used to keep track of income and expenses in an Excel spreadsheet, and I tried to keep all my receipts in a folder. What a mess! Now I use Freshbooks and it is so much easier.
Squarespace - I've really loved using Squarespace for my website. It is super easy to use, especially if you don't have a large budget. Some day I may have someone design a killer website for me, but for now Squarespace is where it is at!
Epic Blog - This editorial planner is my favorite. I keep up with what is going on here, and at MrsRobbinsSparkles.com.
Day Designer - This is my day-today planner, and it keeps me sane. They sell out quick, so keep an eye out for them!
Creative Market - I adore this site! I first discovered it after winning a $100 credit to it, and now I can't imagine working without it. This link is to my favorite font in the shop, but I also use it for stock photos, resume templates, and other goodies. Check it out!
