What every Studio Needs

What every studio needs? A air purifier. Why? Most creatives spend hours in this one location, the studio. In the winter the windows may be closed & you breathing in stale air. If you have carpets or you work in a basement with invisible mold and bacteria this my be bad for your health. In the spring and summer with allergens and fumes from the outside my make your life in your creative space difficult. Also studies show that clean air can help u think better make you more creative. For under 200 dollars you will thank your self later. I have a Honeywell air purifier it is a little noisy but you get used to it and I can still create with it except for when I'm recording vocals. I think it is a great investment trust me.

Saturday at Squarespace

Saturday I went to Squarespace to set up my website. On Saturdays They have One-on-One workshops. Paulina Helped me today she was great she happened to be a musician so she was able to relate to how I was going to set up my site. It was scheduled For an hour But she took her time and helped me till I felt Comfortable to do it myself. It was a great experience plus she had a great vibe. The reason I chose Squarespace over other web services was ease-of-use and customer service. Plus the visual aesthetic of their templates. One feature I really like and enjoy and I am using right now the iPad app. It allows me to write blog post on the iPad and my iPhone. I also recommended Squarespace to Terry and she had a one-on-one workshop too. it was a great experience for her too You can check the pictures that I took here enjoy
