PC
this computer is absolutely cracked and probably more than i will ever need. my friend cut me a deal on it when they built a new PC tower. i've been a mac girl ever since i went to college (16 years ago, holy shit), but this has almost converted me. ...
ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (2023)
i love this monitor! the colors and graphics are awesome and the size feels huge, i can hardly ever take up the whole screen (but that makes it great for working in notion). it went on a pretty good discount for prime day but its definitely something...
Samsung 27" Odyssey G5 Monitor
this is absolutely essential for a powerful laptop like the ROG Zephyrus Duo. the laptop gets pretty hot, so having these fans especially when running a big game is really helpful in keeping it cool.
llano V12 Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad
i used to have a desktop mic stand and i never used my mic bc of how i had to set it up. this has made it so easy to grab my mic, use it, and then push it out of the way when i dont need it anymore. hiding the XLR could be better, but tbh no arm is g...
Elgato Wave Low Profile Mic Boom Arm
this is also probably more than i will ever need (unless i get really good at Dota). i like the scroll wheel and the programmable buttons. it's nice and heavy.
Logitech G502 Hero Wired Gaming Mouse
i wanted something to keep my personal photo album separate from my content photo album (and also keep my phone storage free). i also use a PC so i wanted something i could pop an SD card out of. DJI makes such good products (i've used their ronin gi...
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo
music
this mic was an upgrade from my shure mic when i first started making music with my ex, which WHAT an upgrade. it has such a clear, warm, and balanced sound. good for not harshing high frequencies and siblance, but it is pretty sensitive so it should...
Neumann TLM 102 Studio Set
this midi controller is really easy to use, connects via USB or bluetooth. i haven't really noticed any latency when i've used it on bluetooth mode which is nice (i hate cords on my desk). pretty basic but its cute and pink.
M-VAVE 25 Key MIDI Keyboard Controller
my ole reliable audio interface. when we upgraded our setup we, also upgraded to an apollo but this is just enough for me now to use my mic for gaming or to use with my DAW for production.
Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen Audio Interface
okay hear me out, they're cheap but for the price they function pretty well. i honestly prefer these to my beyerdynamic. they're really comfortable and sufficient for at home mixing or listening. i use these when i don't want to worry about potential...
OneOdio Wired DJ Hi-Res Over-Ear Headphones
these are definitely the best headphones for listening, but i like to use them in production and mixing too. if i'm getting any latency i switch to my wired headphones, but i absolutely love the sound on these. i have to use these for gaming too, i c...
AirPods Max 2
cables and organization
perfect, simple, affordable. didn't really need anything special and this works perfectly to connect my mic to my audio interface.
Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable
had to have a cutie little holder for my airpods (that matches!). i love having them on display and not hidden away in a case.
MANMUVIMO Headphone Stand, Desktop Headset Holder
this is where i store my pink headphones to have easy access for when i'm gonna work on music.
Lamicall Headphone Hanger
i used to use this for my iPad but now use it as a phone holder and i love it. it also matches my ipad, phone, and airpods lol.
OMOTON T2 Tablet Stand for Desk
i love this thing. the storage part helps me hide cables from my lamp, audio interface, and whatever random little things. it makes my desk feel a little more warm, less gamer/techy, matching the vibe of the rest of my room.
Tinamo 24" Wood Monitor Stand Riser
reasonably priced and sturdy to hold up books. very slim profile.
Black Metal Book Ends
i wanted something to display my record and midi controller but couldnt find a stand thick enough. these hold up really well and are discreet enough to make whatever you're displaying the main focus.
6 Pack Acrylic Book Stand for Display Adjustable
if there's one thing i can't stand is visible cords and wires. since i put my LED sign on the top shelf i needed something to cover the wire. i also used it to cover the wires going from my desk to the outlet. when you paint it the color of your wall...
Cord Hider Kit
this is really nice under the desk cable management. the adhesive is really strong and the tray fits a lot of cords. i have a surge strip on one and my laptop charge brick in the other, they're holding up really well.
Scanfield Under Desk Cable Tray, No-Screw, 17-In, 2-Pack
decorations & fun stuff
okay so i bought this before they went crazy on the reselling (i paid $9.99 and now they're $40??). i do truly love it as a little fidget toy/stress reliever to have within reach.
Schylling NeeDoh Nice Cube Sensory Toy Pink
i love these, such a fun cute way to get a little daily affirmation for the day. i pull one every day and save it in a jar to go through at the end of the year.
Take a Ticket: Affirmations
this is my favorite lighter for candles. USB rechargable (it been 5 months since i bought this and still haven't needed to recharge) and has a really slim profile i can just keep it in my pen holder.
RAYONNER Electric Candle Lighter
i've been using blue light glasses since 2018 and they def help prevent any screen fatigue headaches. these are dupes for the miu miu glasses and i think they're so cute.
Round Tortoise Frame Blue Light Glasses
another pair of my favorite blue light glasses. so dainty and cute.
Small Blue Light Blocking Hexagonal Glasses
i exclusively use Govee lightbulbs. i love being able to set scenes, change colors, dim, and control the power from the app on my phone.
Govee LED Smart Light Bulbs
this is my only fake plant, i swear! i bought this for my last apartment when my desk was into a closet converted desk. i wanted a plant on the shelf in there but it didnt get much light (and i hate the tone of grow lights). nobody has even noticed i...
Retrograde 32" Silk Faux Pothos Ivy Plant
these lights are so great. i use them in my closet and under my wall shelves for extra ambient light. the charge lasts pretty long, i usually just turn them on at night.
Under Cabinet Rechargeable Motion Sensor Lights
as someone with ADHD its's so hard to keep a journal. i really like this one, especially since there's no dates (so if you forget to use it for a week or two, you didnt waste 4 pages). it has really nice weekly and monthly views to help you track and...
Undated Monthly & Daily Planner
these lil guys are so frickin cute. doggies as baked goods? and the wiener dog is a hot dog. i found these at HomeGoods but this brand also has cats as fruit, capybaras, and lots of other cute little critters to decorate your monitor, phone, or deskt...
Peek-a-Pals - Pawstry Pals Collectible Companion
this was a gift from someone very special, who knows me better than i know myself, to give me a daily reminder to stay positive and not worry about everything that could go wrong, and focus on everything working out in the universes best interest for...
What If It All Works Out Neon Sign
this is such a powerful tiny little fan. i use it mostly after doing something around the house that made me warm or after the shower to cool off. the rechargable battery lasts a really long time.
WHATOOK Small Desk Fan Personal Fans
these are some of my favorite pens and it makes filling out my planner so much fun!
PILOT, G2 Boost Pink Pack
i've got literally 5 of these candles, all in different colored jars. i'm obsessed with this scent, it reminds me of baccarat rouge 540. i found all mine at HomeGoods. the scent lingers but isn't too strong or cloying.
CA Candle Co. Jasmine Saffron Scented Candle
this album is iconic and speaks to me so much regarding insecurities, navigating toxic relatioships, self discovery, and feeling out of control--which is exactly why i chose to display it. i love the little pieces of generational womanly advice from ...
