5 Girly Digital Camera Picks

Picking out a camera or perhaps any gadget can be a little time consuming for me especially that there are lots of new cameras released now and then. I am no pro when it comes to photography but I have a few considerations such as the color, the weight, the features, battery life, color (should have a pink version! lol), and of course the megapixels. So here's my list of cameras:

1. Nikon 1 J1

What I liked:

• Excellent images
• Size is comparable to an iphone
• Interchangeable lenses
• Fast processor
• Easy to operate (especially when you just had your nails done)
• Silent electronic zoom
• It's like a tiny dslr with basic functions

2. Casio Exilim EX-ZR3500

What I liked:

• Multiple shooting modes
• 180º tilting lcd screen (for selfies because I like travelling alone)
• Front shutter button
• Instantly connect to your smartphone for sharing or using remote control
• Just released this year

3. Sony NEX-3N

What I liked:

• Decent image quality
• Tilt-type lcd screen
• Interchangeable lens
• Multiple shooting modes
• Smile shutter

4. Casio Exilim EX-JE10

What I liked:

• Comes with a camera jacket & strap
• Looks like a toy camera
• Really tiny! Size is comparable to a credit card
• It's almost like merely an accessory. Super girly!

5. Samsung NX Mini

What I liked:

• Ultra slim & lightweight
• Tilt-type lcd screen
• Wink shot (you just have to wink to take a shot, no button clicks necessary!)
• Interchangeable lenses
• If you have NFC capable smartphone, you can use it as a viewfinder/remote to the camera

Disclamer: I do not own any of the photos in this post.

6 Personal Travel Essentials

Everytime I travel elsewhere, I plan everything through; from the itinerary to every piece I will be wearing. I do a lot of travel lists. Yes, lists because I also list down all the items from my kikay kit to the schedule of ootds.

I find it crucial to have a list of things to pack. It saves you money and saves you the hassle when you forget to bring a thing or two. Imagine leaving your toothbrush at home! *Ick!* But yes, it happens. So here's the things I think every girl like me should bring when going out of town.

1. A small bag.

Preferably a body bag. I personally like to bring a small bag where I can put all the important things such as travel documents, money, cellphone, keys etc. You can also put some of your makeup inside or basically your essentials so you won't need to search through the big bags when you need them.

2. A pair of flip-flops.

Travelling means lots of walking so this means you need a comfy pair of footwear. I know it's kinda basic but us girls want to stay stylish when travelling. This is just my piece of advice especially when the shoes you brought are new.

3. Sunscreen.

Definitely bring along sunscreen! You don't get a new skin so better take care of it.

4. Wet Towelettes

I'd like to call them that 'cause Wet Wipes is actually a brand so, anyway, it's already given that the loo isn't always available especially when in transit to elsewhere. This comes handy especially when it's too humid and you just need a quick skin refresher or however it may serve you.

5. Scarf

Why? Well a scarf can get a whole lot of flexible uses. From a normal scarf, a headband, a turban, belt, or even a bag when needed. You just have to be creative.

6. Nail Cutter

You are probably thinking,"When did a nail cutter become a necessity for a trip?" Well, I find a nail cutter more than just for cutting nails. This tool can especially be useful when you need to unscrew something, cut a tag, drag the broken zipper, tighten a broken chain or something like that. It's some sort of a life hack idea, right? But of course the nail cutter has to be one that's durable because if not then you should bring a swiss knife with you. Otherwise you're gonna get your nails broken so you'll need a mighty little nail cutter. Nah, just kiddin'. (and oh, don't put them on your hand carry, ok? You know why.)


Of course there are others that you might think is more of a necessity but all of these are based on my personal experience and preferences only. Comment yours below! Happy packing & have a safe trip! :)
