Top 5 Mac accessories - Macbook pro

Welcome back!  I'm sure many of you will find this post very helpful, especially for you MacBook owners.  Comfortability and maintaining my personal belongings are very important to me because Macbooks are expensive.  I want to share my personal top 5 Mac accessories that have made my life easier.  Everything that I am sharing is under $35! If you are interested in any of the items I mentioned click the mint green or light green links.  Here are my favorites...

1.) Macbook cover - this keeps the top and bottom of my laptop dust and scratch free.  Also love the variety of colors to choose from.  The cover itself is not to dark and you are able to see the apple logo/light and the light that indicates if your laptop is sleeping. Get it HERE ($11-15)

 2.) Macbook keyboard cover - I blogged about this in my previous post.  For under $5 this keyboard cover keeps the dust and dirt out and also comes in a variety of colors and designs to fit your personality. Get it HERE ($3-5)

3.) Wireless keyboard - You may be wondering why would I purchase a keyboard when a laptop already has one.  Well, spending 7+ hours at my desk daily, the way my desk and chair are leveled, it is not good for my posture because my laptop is low and so I am always looking down.  I put it on a riser (which I will discuss as my 4th accessories) and with the wireless keyboard makes it comfortable on my wrists, won't have to worry about carpal tunnel.  Get it HERE ($15)

4.) Acrylic Phone Riser - As mentioned above my laptop sits on this riser which elevates my laptop to where I can look at my screen without having to slouch and look down.  There are a few other designs and laptop risers that are specifically for laptops.  I really wanted a clear acrylic riser because of the looks.  I couldn't find any laptop risers that came in acrylic so I managed to find this riser that is made for office phones and it works fine.  As you can see in the pictures my laptop sits perfectly on the riser and it will not fall off. Get it HERE ($34)

5.) Customizable Laptop Case - In addition a laptop case is very important to have because it's great for travel and at the same time is additional protection for your laptop.  There are many designs to choose from and I have two options that I am sharing.  The first being an affordable case and the second being a little more money but definitely worth the extra money if you want to have your own design. You can check out the designs HERE ($13-20)
The case that I have was designed by me.  I got to customize my own laptop case and the quality is amazing! Get it HERE ($70)

Keyboard Cover for Macbook Pro - Full Review

Hi everyone! 

  

I'm back to blogging and will be doing so every week.  I wanted to change things up a bit and will be blogging about anything fashion and beauty related.  From home decor, DIY projects, reviews, and more!

Today I am sharing a review.  This is not just any review, but a review of an item that I own and have had for awhile.  Hopefully this will be helpful for some of you looking into buying products that I have shared.  I personally like to research on products before buying just to see if it's really worth the money and what the product actually looks like in picture.  Alot of the time I find myself searching everywhere online to find pictures of the actual product, which is hard to find.  You will see a full review and what I mean by full is a before and after of the product.  I don't see reviews that share how a product is in the long run.  I hope you find this helpful and let me know if you like the idea!

As you can see the pictures above, this is my new keyboard cover for my laptop.  It is my second keyboard cover (below are pics of my old cover).  For around $2-$5 if purchased on Ebay, this affordable cover is definitely worth it! I've weighed out the pros and cons from my own experience and you can see if it is a good purchase for you.

PROS:                             

-Affordable ($2-$5) Get it HERE

-Protects keyboard from dust/dirt

-Variety of colors and designs

-Last about 1-2 years.

CONS:

-After 1-2 years, key cover lettering discolored and may rip.

-I purchased my new and old cover from different sellers and I noticed the key tab for the eject button on my old cover is different than my new cover, which is a power button.  But if you have used your Macbook for awhile you most likely memorized and are able to locate each key. No biggie.

My old keyboard cover which I've had for two years. You can see all of the dust/dirt that has been collected.  Some of the keys have been worn or discolored.  The tab "A" has a little rip which you aren't able to see through picture.
