Instagram has over 100 million active users on its platform, according to
Statista, while
Medium reports that the average IG user spends 53 minutes per day on the app. This doesn’t even take into account the amount of time spent curating photos or content to post your best for the world. If you have a girlfriend that is one of the 100 million, chances are she likes taking photos and is constantly scrolling through her feed or spends time curating her Instagram page. Then what better gift to give than a little something to help up the quality of her posts, content, and even herself!

The Sony Alpha a6000 ($448.00,
adorama.com) is a bloggers’ dream. The screen has the ability to flip around so you can vlog and take selfies of yourself. It’s an excellent camera for beginners, delivering a lot of high quality images and video without having to put in too much of your own work (or having to be a pro). It’s great for shooting YouTube videos, content for Instagram, and takes great stills. It’s smaller and lighter than most DSLR’s and it’s very intuitive to learn.
At under $500.00 (for the body only), this lens is affordable and high performing. The images are impeccably sharp at 24 pixels so you can get detail and quality. You can also download an app to transfer photos and videos directly to your phone, which is nice when you want to publish immediately.
Also, you can do face programming, which I think is cool. Throwing an event or want to make sure your images of a subject is always in focus? You can program their face into the camera and from then on, whenever the camera sees that face, it will focus on it. Cool, right?!
In my personal opinion, this camera can compete with other high end DSLRs that are more at the $3K-$4K range.
GLAMSQUAD
Once you get your IG came up, next come the event invites and appearance requests! Need to get glam, but don’t have a glam team? No worries! The
GlamSquad got you! GlamSquad is available in major cities like New York City, Washington DC, Boston, South Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Bay area and more. I’ve personally used this service on several occasions. I highly recommend their makeup services. Getting your face beat for $75.00 is a steal. Yes, I recognize that you can go to Sephora or a makeup counter and get this done if you spend $50.00 in products, but this is great for last minute or when you want your makeup done in the comfort of your home (or in a conference room at your office).
