I have always and will always be team personal cup.

I am a huge fan of Yeti, and their newer Travel Straw Mug is one of my favorites. I personally have the 20oz in black, and I follow a few simple rules when using it. Due to the style of the leak/spill proof lid I opt to not get any beverage that has ...

Rambler® 20 oz Travel Straw Mug

This lid fits perfectly on the Yeti 20oz Travel Straw Mug and allows me to get beverages made with milk or milk alternatives. While I could easily do that with the stock lid, I prefer using this lid for those types of beverages as this one is far eas...

Rambler® Replacement 20 oz StrongHold™ Lid

I LOVE having a cute boot on my cups. Not only does it look cute, it helps protect the cup as well.

Full transparency- I do NOT own a MacBook Neo. I currently own a 14 inch 2014 MacBook Pro with the Apple M3 Pro chip. That being said, if I could change my computer set up I would 100% swap my MacBook Pro out for the MacBook Neo, and use it as a seco...

13-inch MacBook Neo with Apple A18 Pro Chip — 6-Core CPU, 5-Core GPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD

The 14 inch 2014 MacBook Pro with the Apple M3 Pro chip is my current laptop, and it is a darn good computer. That being said, it unfortunately does not run most of the games I like or would like to play, and it a tad over powered for basic tasks.

I love the portability of the Nintendo Switch, and bringing a game to a cafe is such a modern and cozy way to spend your time.

Nintendo Switch 2

I usually bring my iPad (4th gen 11in iPad Pro) instead of my laptop, but will sometimes bring both devices. Connecting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse allows me to use the iPad similarly to a laptop.

11-inch iPad Pro M5 chip Wi-Fi 256GB with OLED

Much like my NuPhy Air75 V2 keyboard, this mouse is one is only used when I am out of the house. It connects via bluetooth, and is powered by a single AA battery. Much like the keyboard you can also have 3 different “profiles” on it' and I have set m...

Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s - Tonal Rose

I'm going to be real with you for a minute, I'm a bit of a keyboard snob, and I only use mechanical keyboard. I rarely, if ever, use the keyboard attached to my laptop. This 75% low profile keyboard is the perfect size to toss into a bag and use when...

NuPhy Air75 V2

I am not an audiophile, but I LOVE my Beats headphones. I previously had the Beat Solo3 headphones for about 7years before I opted to replace them with these ones. The ONLY reason I had decided to replace my Solo3 with the Solo4 was due to the Solo4 ...

Beats Solo 4 Wireless On Ear Headphones

Bags

This backpack holds everything I need, and then some! It comes with a laptop sleeve, which I have opted not to use as I had made my own, but my 14in MacBook Pro in it's homemade sleeve fits nicely in the back most pocket of the pack. I keep my mouse and chargers in a clear hard sided zipper c...

Patagonia Atom 20L Tote Pack |

Disclaimer- I have the 2020 Year of the Rat edition of this bag that I recieved as a gift.
I will use this bag if my intent is to go to a cafe to work on a yarn project. I'll toss a small-medium sized project, my crochet tool kit, my iPad, my headphones, and my cup into this bag. It holds just enough without tempting be to bring things tha...
