Recently I've been having a number of issues with my computer and it has led me to realize how reliant I am on certain computer programs. These computer issues have also contributed significantly to my lack of posts over the last couple months. Getting all my computer programs and files back together it has opened my eyes to some of my favourite blogging tools. Programs and websites that I use regularly in creating content for my blog. In the spirit of getting back to blogging and the glorious health of my computer... I thought I would share with you some of my favourite blogging tools.
1. PIC MONKEY (www.picmonkey.com)
I am constantly using Pic Monkey to edit and dress my photos up. I have more recently become a fan of adding boarders to my favourite photos; so this website has come much in hand.
2. PAINT
I know, I know. Paint has been around forever and is truly out of date. I just find using this program so easy and it is not at all confusing. I find with a lot of design programs I don't end up utilizing half of the features, simply because I don't know what they do. I have been using paint for years and thus far it has met all of my design needs. Whenever I create a new header for my blog, I always use paint!

3. BLOGLOVIN' (www.bloglovin.com)
Bloglovin' is a great tool to use for not only following your favourite blogs, but promoting your own! The concept is simple, all of your favourite blogs in one place. No more navigating from site to site. Find me on Bloglovin' and I will be sure to follow back!
4. INSTAGRAM (www.instagram.com/vickimariee)
I am so obsessed with Instagram! I love connecting with people from all around the world and sharing my favourite photos with my friends. As a blogger I find Instagram to be an amazing tool that all fellow bloggers should be utilizing. It is a great way to snap a good quality picture on the go. As well, it can help drive a lot of traffic to your site, if used properly.

5. DIGGO (www.diggo.com)
I am always looking for fun ways to keep organized, especially when it comes to my blog. Diggo is a cool way to keep track of interesting articles, video, & websites. It's a convenient way to sort your thoughts until you finally get the chance to write that blog post. Diggo also supports mobile devices which I find super convenient for a student who is usually at school or working.
6. AFTERLIGHT (App)
Afterlight is one of my favourite apps on my phone. It is a great picture editing and enhancer that I love to use in combination with Instagram. I would highly recommend this app to any frequent Instagramers and bloggers. There are a lot of editing options on this app that you cannot find anywhere else. I absolutely adore this app.
