I'm definitely a paper planner kind of person. While digital calendars can work well too, writing things down definitely helps you remember things, and the Evo Planner is my absolute favorite. You take a quiz to find out your Brain Type and then get a planner that’s customized to that specific type. The science behind it is incredible and it’s perfect for monthly, weekly, daily, and meal planning, plus has great motivational quotes on each page!
Flodesk is an email marketing platform that is, in my opinion (after trying every one I know of) the BEST! Manage your email subscriber list, and send absolutely gorgeous emails with ease. It’s one of my favorite tools in my business in general, and I get so happy to send out emails now! Click here to get 50% off your subscription FOR LIFE with unlimited subscribers, emails, and forms!
I’ve tried a million and one client management systems, but Honeybook is my favorite by a long shot.

If you have to do any level of graphic design in your business, even if it's just creating cute quotes for your Instagram, Canva is the best tool to make it happen. It's free and the sky is the limit for what you can create. You can start from scratch and upload your own photos and graphics, or choose from templates, photos, and icons that they have available.
If you use Instagram (and, I mean, who doesn't?) then you should be posting smarter not harder! Planoly makes that easy, by allowing you to plan out your posts well in advance. You can plan out captions and hashtags too, and it's simple to drag and drop posts into a new order. Best of all, there’s a great free version!
I use a lot of stock photography in my biz, and it's so easy to find stock photos that perfectly fit your brand with Haute Stock. They have thousands of photos to choose from, and put out new collections every week. You can easily collate the perfect social media feeds, or use them on blog posts and your website.
Zoom is awesome, simple as that. Similar to Skype or Facetime, Zoom is a video-conferencing tool that is wonderful if you ever do video-hosted chats with your clients or just want to have virtual coffee with an industry friend. There's no special software to buy, and there is a free option, plus you can share your screen or record the chat.
If you want an easy and customizable way to keep track of everything, you need Trello. You can create boards and cards to keep all your biz stuff in check, and easily keep up with your to-do list, posting schedules, etc. You can set it up a million different ways, so you can completely customize it to your business.
