November/December Favorites (Tech Edition)

Hey guys, long time no talk! I cannot apologize enough for being so M.I.A these last few months. My work and school schedule have been insane and all over the place. Life happens... Any how I am back with a favorites post and not just any favorites post but one all about my favorite tech. I don't usually do these but there are a few things I have been loving that I wanted to share with you guys!

FitBit Charge HR

I picked up this little bad boy during my Black Friday shopping adventure and have been wearing it ever since. I was diagnosed with some heart issues awhile back and part of my treatment is to keep track of my pulse/heartbeats. I don't know why I never thought to buy this when it first came out. The sleek design makes it easy to wear and set up takes seconds. The Charge HR comes in a variety of colors however you can't switch the band colors like the original one. It also tells the time and date, calories burned, steps, stair count and number of miles you took in a day. 

I have the black one shown above 

MacBook Air 

The last year or so I have been dealing with a variety of technology issues mostly on my MacBook Pro. I have had my MacBook for about 8 years and it has been my rock however because I am a heavy computer user due to school and my work, over the past few months my baby has been slowing down on me and has needed quite a few extensive repairs. I recently had to take my computer in once again to the Apple store and they told me that the current repairs I had to make would run me about $400 +. I did go to other places to see if it would be any cheaper and honestly it wasn't that big of a difference. As much as I love my baby I knew it was time to retire it and buy myself a new one. I did some research and ended up deciding on the MacBook Air. It is very sleek and so much easier to carry around. The only downside is that all the new MacBooks no longer have a CD-Rom drive due to the increase in battery size. But overall I am very happy with my choice and can't wait to get more use out of it. 

I purchased the 13 in 8GB plus 256 GB flash storage 

iPhone 6s Plus

When the iPhone 6 first came out I regretted not purchasing a plus so when I had an upgrade for the 6s I didn't want to make the same mistake. While it is a pretty big phone it has made my life so convenient. It is not only clearer but I am able to get more things done and faster such as replying to email or sending documents to my clients. Not to mention it is also great for playing games.

I have the one in space grey

Sonix Bahama Case Review

Sonix Case in Bahama

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 6s Plus (space grey) from an iPhone 6 so of course I needed a case. I know that a lot of you out there despise having a case on and I totally understand! Cases can be annoying by adding extra weight and can cover up the beautiful design of the new iPhones, however no one wants to pay $80 to fix a shattered screen and as much as you hate to admit it even seeing a teeny tiny scratch your phone can send you flying off a wall. 

Every now and then I like to review a phone case to possibly encourage those out there who don't use cases to consider getting one. I have been using the Sonix case in Bahama for over 2 weeks now probably the longest I have gone without switching a case (I have a problem I know). So evidently I had to talk about it! (DISCLAIMER: I am not being sponsored by Sonix or in any way affiliated. I bought this case myself and my review is 120% my own opinions.)  

Sonix is known for their clear design rubber cell phone cases. They are very much like the company Casetify (not sure if they are owned by the same people). Their beautiful designs add a little something extra yet still shows off the beautiful and simple design of the new iPhones. Their cases are made from a very sturdy rubber material and have raised bumpers surrounding the entire phone. For those of you who have the glass screen protectors the bumpers won't interfere. The button covers keep the buttons protected but is still easily accessible. I find that a lot of cases out there have so much material around the buttons that you have to push down really hard to just turn your screen on. Protection wise you are good to go although I do recommend getting a glass screen protector regardless. The cases are lightweight so you won't feel too much of a difference and has a nice sleek and slim look to it. Please keep in mind that the new iPhone 6s/6s plus is made with a sturdier aluminum which does make the phones a bit heavier compared to the regular 6/6s so whatever type of case you use WILL add a tiny bit of extra weight (but worth it for the protection). 

The only issue I find with this case is that they don't have a separate iPhone 6s Plus case and the same case is suppose to fit both the 6s and 6s plus. The 6s is a bit bigger so the case does have a tighter fit but it still works well. You will have to do a little bit of pushing and tugging when putting on and taking off the case. 

The Bahama case has a simple yet pretty palm leaves design and is available for the iPhone 6/6 plis and iPhone 6s/6s plus. All Sonix cases retail for $39.99 on their site . They also sell their cases at AT&T stores (limited quantity in designs). They are a bit on the pricier side but worth every penny.
