Honestly, being on a minimalist journey, I don't want you to buy many things. However, If you really want to buy them, please ask yourself, “Does this spark joy“ before you buy it :) ~~~~~~~~~~ 【Electronics】 Apple iPhone 15 Plus ▶︎▶︎▶︎ https://amzn.to/4j73j51 Apple Mackbook pro ▶︎▶︎▶︎ http://ow.ly/U3p050uWbDP Apple Magic mouse ▶︎▶︎▶︎ http://ow.ly/iOnj50uWbNo Apple Bluetooth keypad ▶︎▶︎▶︎ https://amzn.to/3XAxh6V Sony Bluetooth Headphones ▶︎▶︎▶︎ https://amzn.to/3XDVRnh ~~~~~~~~~~ 【CAMERA GEAR】 Sony ZV1 with tripod ▶︎▶︎▶︎ https://amzn.to/3GMkQ1X Simpex DSLR Tripod ▶︎▶︎▶︎ http://ow.ly/zlUw30jlxE8 Mobile Tripod ▶︎▶︎▶︎ http://ow.ly/Wghr50uWbSj Ring light ▶︎▶︎▶︎ https://amzn.to/3F5olPQ Wireless microphone ▶︎▶︎▶︎: https://amzn.to/3RJBJyn ~~~~~~~~~~ 【BE MY FRIEND】 INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/arpitharai FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/arpitharai SPOTIFY https://arpitharaipodcast.page.link/bjYi VLOG CHANNEL (for a peek into my life!) www.youtube.com/arpitharaivlogs ~~~~~~~~~~~ 【GET IN TOUCH】 If you’d like to talk, feel free to email me at arpitha@arpitharai.com I try my best to reply to things but there sadly aren't enough hours in the day to respond to everyone... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Take a moment to write a review here: https://g.page/r/CZ4Skr2pqyqBEB0/review This will help me understand your opinion and give you my best in the future.
