If you were to ask my roommate, she might tell you I’m a regular ole’ crazy cat lady. I buy them food more expensive than my own, shower them with love and affection whether or not they want it, and casually walk around the house completing household chores with my cat Wesley draped across my shoulders. I currently have two cats, and I admit, I adore them (as Taylor Swift says, “Two cats is a party, three cats is a cat lady,” so two has to be my limit for now). I adopted both of my kitties from local animal shelters, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Sure, they tend to get into a lot of mischief—once, my cat Ojas found a hole in the floor of my new apartment (which I had no clue about) and fell through the ceiling of the store beneath me, a traumatizing experience for me, my cat, and all of the customers involved. But still, I wouldn’t trade my quirky felines for anything.

I’ve heard it said over and over again that the best camera is the one you have with you. Honestly, I couldn’t agree more. I have an amazing DSLR and yet I find that the majority of my pictures are taken with my iPhone. Unfortunately, our iPhones still struggle in a lot of ways that more advanced cameras don’t. One of those ways is the iPhone’s intolerance for low-light situations. If you’re sick of blurry, unclear images, then here are a few tips and tricks that have really helped me out. Here’s how to shoot clearer, better photos on your iPhone.

Having a difficult time remembering where that picture from your spontaneous trip to the beach was taken? Or at what time you captured that beautiful sunset? The great thing about geotagging on iPhone is that you’ll never be left wondering when or where a particular photo was taken again—but for many, that might not be such a good thing. If revealing your location is a concern, you can easily turn this feature off. Here’s how to keep your camera from tracking your location on iPhone.

I used to devote a lot of time and energy to my creativity. I would craft my own jewelry, take pictures daily, draw and paint, and write lengthy novels (which, in retrospect, were quite ridiculous)—but I tried! And I used to find so much joy in all my little creative efforts.

As a writer, I believe that journaling regularly is an important aspect of my creative process. It’s the one time in the day I get to write freely without having to censor my thoughts or concern myself with things like grammar and editing—but writers aren’t the only ones who can benefit from journaling. Journaling can help you relieve stress, sort out your thoughts, and remember details about your life that you will value later on. I’ve kept journals since I was 14, and, believe it or not, I reference them regularly. Some of my entries undoubtedly make me cringe—here’s looking at you, 2004 (year of boys, angsty rants, and badly written Harry Potter fanfiction)—but my journals are also filled with a lot of valuable details about my life and memories I love reflecting back on. If you want to start journaling, the following diary apps are a great way to get started. Each journal app is passcode-protected, and many of them hardly require any work at all!
Apple is pretty good about updating its products, but it seems to have forgotten about the Calendar app and its many downsides.

The latest updates to this calendar and task-management app are a productivity game-changer.
