    The Kachet Life

    Lifestyle Tastemaker + Coach for Creatives

    My Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro

    April 17, 2015business, lifestyle

    lenovo yoga 2 tablet_at homeI’d like to say that I spend my days tending to The Lipstick Giraffe in my posh office during the week, but the truth is, much of this I take on the road and fit in at various points in the day and the Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro has made this Content Creating Fashionista’s life much easier.

    Welcome to my couch, where many of my ideas begin. My living room gets such great light, so it’s easy to get comfortable, enjoy a delicious beverage, and dive right into TLG maintenance. I begin by checking and replying to comments on the blog and on social media, engage with some of my favorite blogs/brands and create the framework for a post (or posts). The sleek design of the Lenovo YOGA and speedy processor make it easy for me to bounce from one thing to the next. It’s so lightweight, and easier to maneuver than my laptop.

    For those who aren’t familiar with Lenovo, they’re an innovator in the tablets and 2-in-1 laptop space. The Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro was designed by Ashton Kutcher, who is Lenovo’s product engineer and was hands on in the concept and development the product. The tablet is awesome in that you can hold it, tilt it, or use the stand for ease in typing.

    After making progress in some of the other areas of TLG, it’s time to get to creating content. For me, inspiration comes in many forms, and in many places, but it mostly comes when I’m around people. Now, these people don’t always have to be those whom I know personally, so getting down to business and writing in an open space often helps! It’s cliche, but I like going to a local coffee shop. One of my favorites is Insight Coffee Roasters in Downtown Sac (I did an outfit post there). It has an outdoor area perfect for people watching, good WiFi and if you need quiet, there are several little tables inside to get comfy in.

    While I’ve grown accustomed to toting my laptop around town, it’s much more convenient to throw my YOGA in my bag since it’s so lightweight, and the kickstand really helps me type and edit posts for both the blog and social media. With a battery life of about 15 hours, I never have to worry about running out of juice (so long as I charge it every now and then 🙂 ).

    The one feature on the Lenovo YOGA that I use from time to time and is an absolute godsend, is the Pico projector. Yes, there’s a projector in this thing! It’s hiding right in the barrel and it makes it easy to share the content I’m working on with a friend or one of my clients.

      Awesome review as I have been looking for something lighter than my Lenovo (aka) IBM laptop!

        Thank you! And I would definitely look at the options they have now. The Yoga 3 laptop is a good option too, if you need a keyboard! 🙂 Have a good weekend!

        Thanks lady! Wasn’t it fun? And thank you for the sweater compliment! I struck gold on the Old Navy sale rack nearly 3 years ago. I think I’ll have this until it’s completely worn out…and it’ll still be hard to part with it! 😉

      I think your post is awesome. I never even heard of this tablet and because I’m currently in the market for one, I’ll for sure be checking the Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro out! As usual… your blog continues to update me on cool stuff I can use. Thanks Lipstick Giraffe”)

      I’m with you. I’d be carrying this Lenovo Yoga everywhere with me. It’s just amazing~! My old Lenovo is 8yrs old and way to heavy to lug. Love those earrings & that sweater too!

    Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for t Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for the candles! 😂🕯✨Seriously, what a month February has been. Closing out the month cozy at home as the rain fell outside was perfection today. I even took a nap!

Are you ready for a new month as much as I am?! 🙌🏾 March will bring a lot our way, but one thing it'll bring is a NEW SEASON. Yes, the first day of Spring is March 20th 👀 despite what the weather has in store. With the change of seasons, we have to say goodbye to the Winter candle collection! 😢 And if you had a favorite or have been meaning to grab one, NOW is the time because there's less than FIVE left of each scent! 

A little about each:
Cedar + Pine: Cedar, pine, musk + firewood
Bay Rum = Bay leaves, citrus with notes of musk + tobacco
Citrus + Cinnamon: Grapefruit, lemon + cinnamon

Want to stock up? Use code BUNDLE20 through Friday 3/5 when you purchase more than one! LINK IN MY BIO (+my Shop tab here on IG).

And don’t worry, you’ll be the first to know when the Spring collection launches. Can’t wait to share more soon. Have a good evening, y’all!

    Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷T Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷The last few weeks (and let’s just say year because we’re coming up on one year since lockdown) have been crazy, filled up with ups and downs for all of us. 

And through it all, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing, creative entrepreneurs that have:

▪️Found their voice + rhythm when it comes to communicating to their ideal client/customer/follower
▪️Pitched + landed PAID deals with their dream brand
▪️Increased their web presence (because I LOVE IG, but there’s other touchpoint and revenue opportunities OFF of the app)
▪️Launched digital and physical products
▪️Contributing to and being featured by publications

And, to me, the most transformative: 

▪️Cultivating the courage to go after what they want relentlessly

That’s why I LOVE being #CoachKach. 
It’s really so content creators, solopreneurs + creative business owners like you can blow through your lofty goals + grab control of your brand +  life.

It’s never been easier than it is right now to do this. All you need is confidence and the right tools + support to get you there. And with one-on-one coaching with me, you’ll get just that.

I’m your digital bestie helping you navigate scaling your business using social, creating content, pitching brands + media and crafting your product/service offer.

▪️Get an opportunity that you’re not sure is taking advantage of your time and talent? Send it to me and we’ll chat it through.

▪️Need to make sure you’re not missing something in your launch plan because you’ve been looking at it too closely? I’m your second set of eyes with examples and other creatives to connect with.

▪️ Start feeling like you can’t do it? I’ll be there telling you YOU CAN — and showing you that you WILL.

If you’re ready to turn up the heat this year, shoot me a DM! I have O N E spot left for the next couple of months at this level of support. If you know you need this, but have questions, let’s talk + see if we can make it a reality for you.

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?
