Lifestyle | Go, Play, Create, Work with the ASUS T300 Chi

May 19, 2015 by Whitney

I’ve spent the last few days getting to know my new tech toy – the ASUS T300 Chi! Truth be told, I’ve been searching for a new computer for a while now. So when I was given the opportunity to try out the new ASUS I was thrilled! It really is one of the easiest devices to use…and it can do so much. One of my favorite features is the detachable tablet. I’m constantly on the go and a laptop isn’t always practical. Being able to detach the screen and use it as a tablet is a dream come true! The T300 really is the perfect all-around 2-in-1 device.

I love using Windows 8.1 at work, so using it for my home device to is a real treat. Here’s some more interesting and helpful facts about the ASUS T300 Chi: 

  • 12.5″ Display
  • Responsive touchscreen
  • As a laptop, it’s thinner than MacBook Air (1.65cm)
  • Super strong magnetic hinge (connects screen to keyboard)
  • Exceptional Battery Life
  • Very affordable, $699.00
  • Storage — 128GB ISSD
  • Quiet and fan-less
  • Dual Speakers
  • Stylus Pen

I’ve definitely been able to Go, Play, Create, and Work with this new device. It’s been a breeze editing blog posts, updating social media and checking emails. The T300 has traveled with me to the park, church, on car rides and more! Being able to use the tablet has been a life AND space saver when preparing to pack my bag for a work day. With the dual speakers and near perfect built in camera, it’s also been a great tool to use for listening to webinars on-the-go, recording video content, and engaging in Google Chats.

Using the T300 as a laptop has also come in handy while working on creating posts at home. I’m able to easily use the device to view and share my latest posts, and also read through some of my favorite blogs as well. The laptop fits on my desk, dresser or table top with ease, without it taking up so much room. While blogging and browsing other sites, I often use my headphones to listen to Spotify too. Gotta have some tunes going while working and creating, right?!

Lastly, taking the device with me to work has been an easy task. Again, it’s so lightweight and easy to pack in my work bag. I actually opt to use the T300 sometimes while working on my 9-5 tasks. I find it easier to use during certain projects. I can talk on the phone to clients, send out emails, and listen to my work playlist at the same time. And of course, it takes up less space then a huge desktop!

I’m more than thankful for the T300. It came right on time, as I desperately needed a new laptop. I highly suggest the ASUS T300 Chi if you’re looking for a lightweight, easy to carry and use device. Until tomorrow, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

#WNJInspired | 5 Podcasts You Should Listen to

January 21, 2015 by Whitney 2 Comments

Remember my slight obsession with audiobooks? Well, I’m still slightly obsessed – nothing has changed there. However, I’m really getting into podcasts lately. They’re GREAT and there are so many to choose from. If you’re not 100% sure what a podcast is, it’s a pretty simple concept to digest. According Google, a podcast is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or portable media player, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. In laymen’s terms, it’s a topical series “talk show” that you can download on iTunes and listen to from your computer or smartphone. That said, here are 5 podcasts to listen to, like right now.

Motivational (4)

1.  Myleik Teele – As the  founder and CEO of curlBox, Myleik’s advice and inspiring words are nothing short of amazing. I started listening to her podcasts last September. I was searching for something motivational to listen to during my lunch break. Of course, I took to social media and found out about Myleik’s podcast on, #MyTaughtYou. I’m a fan of her no-nonsense business and life advice and I regularly check her Instagram hashtag #mytaughtyou for new books to read, places to travel and more.

2. Daily Hope – I ventured over to the religious & spiritual podcasts and found this amazing and uplifting source. I’ve been a fan of Rick Warren since his phenomenal book, Purpose Driven Life. That book literally began my “live on purpose” transformation and I’m sure this podcast will only enhance my spiritual wellness. Right now Warren is going through a series on transformation. Each episode is a 25 minute expert of his sermon, so it’s like being able to take church with you wherever you go.

3. The Potter’s Touch – Like Warren, T.D. Jakes shares excerpts of his sermons. His delivery is strong and powerful – there’s no way you can listen and not be blessed. Every time I listen to an episode I literally feel like I’m sitting right in front of him. I suggest this podcast (and Rick Warren’s) to those who may not have a church home, but still want to be fed the Word of God.

4. TED Radio Hour – If you’ve ever listened to or watched TED Talks then you have a pretty good idea of what this podcast is about. According to their website, the podcast is based on Talks given by riveting speakers on the world-renowned TED stage, each show is centered on a common theme and injects soundscapes and conversations that bring these ideas to life. Hosted by Guy Raz, some of the topics so far have included the power of branding, ways to find quiet in our busy lives, and much more.

5. Mattie & Chris – From the first episode I was hooked! It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Mattie James and her lifestyle blog, Mattieologie. She’s actually been featured on WNJ and her interview was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.  The husband and wife duo, Mattie & Chris, talk about everything from their charming life as parents, current events, relationships and more. I really enjoy hearing both a man and woman’s perspective on different topics.


So tell me, are you a fan of podcasts? If so, which ones are your favorites? Let me know!

Thanks for reading and until next time, be blessed and stay safe…XO!
