Welcome! People ask me all the time...
"What microphone do you use?"
"What ring light do you recommend?"
"What books have made the biggest difference in your business?"
"What beauty products actually hold up on camera?"
Instead of answering those questions one by one, I created this page. Everything here is something I personally use, recommend, or genuinely believe is worth sharing. If it makes showing up easier, builds confidence, or saves time, you'll probably find it here. Enjoy browsing, and check back often. I'm always discovering new favorites.

You already know what you're talking about. This is the gear that makes sure people can see and hear it. Everything here is something I use, and none of it takes more than a few minutes to set up. Some of these links earn me a commission at no extra cost to you.
KUKIHO Wireless Lavalier Microphone
I love this mic because it makes my videos sound so much more professional with almost zero effort. I just clip it on, plug in the receiver, and it’s ready to go – no tech headaches. The noise cancellation cuts out background chatter, the battery lasts forever, and I can move around without worrying about cords or staying glued to my phone. It’s perfect for lives, tutorials, and on-the-go filming when I want my voice to come through clearly and confidently.
Singwil 120 LED Selfie Light
Clip to your computer, cell phone, anywhere you need a little extra boost of light. Great for on the go content creators.
Video Light Panel
Side lighting at your desk to offset other lights or natural lights. I use these lights almost every day because the lighting in my office changes throughout the day. They're easy to adjust, reduce shadows, and help me look awake even when Colorado decides it's a cloudy afternoon.
UBeesize 72'' Magnetic Tripod
Easy to take anywhere, lightweight, magnetic, adjustable great for on the go filming.

I reach for this set when I want my makeup to look polished and natural, especially on camera. They make the whole process feel easier and more professional.
Real Techniques Makeup brushes - synthetic
This little set covers just about everything I need for a quick, everyday look. The brushes are soft, easy to clean, and great for blending without streaks. The sponge is a favorite for smoothing out foundation and keeping things natural. It’s a reliable, budget-friendly set I reach for when I want simple, pretty makeup without overthinking the tools.
Riki Vanity Mirror with lights & magnification
This mirror gives me bright, natural lighting at home or on the go. Hotel rooms don't always have the best lighting in the bathrooms so I take this out to the window. The phone clip is handy when I’m recording.

This case keeps my mirror safe when I’m traveling or heading to a client session. It’s lightweight, well-padded.

This is something I’m using to help with circulation, lymphatic drainage, and overall better health. 15 min a day is a great workout.

It folds up when I’m not using it and has plenty of room for a full cleaning day. It’s simple, sturdy, and keeps my tools in great condition.

Did you know a lot of the online tools you already pay for have affiliate programs? If you're recommending them anyway, you may as well sign up and get credit for it. Here are a few of my favorites. Some of the links below earn me a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I've been in and out of a lot of trainings over the years, and most of them hand you a formula that works beautifully for the person who wrote it and falls flat the second you try it in your own voice. Brenda Ster has been my coach for over a decade, and the reason I've stayed that long is that she teaches you how social selling actually works instead of handing you scripts to copy. She'll tell you the truth about what's not landing, she keeps up with the platforms as they change, and the community around her is full of women who are genuinely building something rather than just posting about it. Ten years is a long time to keep paying for the same coach, and I've never once wondered whether it was worth it.
A lot of small business owners cobble together a link-in-bio page here, a checkout link there, an email tool they're paying for separately, and a media kit sitting in a folder somewhere on their desktop. Every one of those pieces has its own login, its own monthly fee, and its own way of breaking right when you need it. Beacons pulls the whole thing into one place, so the link in your bio can hold your offers, take payment, capture emails, and show a brand your numbers without sending anyone off to a different platform. What I like about it is that you can start free and grow into the paid features when the business actually needs them, which is a much friendlier path for someone who's still figuring out what they're selling.
I've watched a lot of people try to run a community out of a Facebook group and a course out of a separate platform, and the seams always show. Members forget where the content lives, half the conversation happens in a place you don't own, and you spend more time explaining the setup than actually connecting with anyone. Skool puts it all in one room. The interface stays clean and predictable, which means new members can jump in and participate without a tutorial, and that alone solves the problem I see most often with paid communities.
Women sign up for a side business hoping it will feel like a business, and then find out they've mostly bought themselves a monthly order and a lot of guilt. The products are fine, the training is fine, but nobody ever told them how to talk about it in a way that sounds like a real person instead of a sales pitch. SeneGence is different for me because the products do the convincing on their own. When someone's lip color is still there after lunch and a glass of iced tea, that's the whole demo, and the conversation that follows feels more like sharing something good than selling anything. You can start small, keep your own pace, and build it around the people you already know, which is a much gentler entry point than most opportunities give you.
