I’ve been saying this to my friends for a while now, cyber security needs to become something each and every one of us takes seriously. Every 39 seconds, a hack occurs. We are in an age where our personal data is logged away in our devices memory, whether we like it or not. To untangle our ‘digital self’ from our online activity is quite frankly a lofty and unachievable goal, so instead I believe it is important to secure ourselves the best way we can.

Read moreTop 3 Drones That Won't Break the Bank
There is no doubt that drones are becoming more prevalent in our society, from Amazon's future adoption of drone deliveries to making a splash this year at the inaugural Silicon Valley Fashion week, drones are everywhere! Now more than ever, you can have the innovative power of owning a drone for not a lot of coin. Think of the drone as this generations radio controlled helicopter, everyone wants to have one. Drones have become inexpensive & easy to fly, making them an absolute must for every techie out there.
It is not difficult to grasp why drones have become so popular, the technology in some drones put them on par with some of the coolest gadgets available. Three brands have truly made drones accessible for just about everyone. Not only have I picked these three for their price, but also because of their reliability & innovative features.
First up is the Phantom 2 Vision+. I personally own this drone & could not say a single bad thing about it, everything about it blows me away! It is the ultimate drone if you're into photography & film. The attached camera films at 1080p & has a 14 megapixel camera, both can be completely controlled by your smartphone or the included remote. Out of all the other drones out there, this one has ranked among the highest in battery life, at about 25 minutes per charge. With a built in GPS, this drone is one of the most stable out there, it can even reach a distance of about 1,500ft. This drone packs a lot of power, but don't be scared by it as anyone can easily pick up the controls & easily fly it around.
Sitting at around $500, the Parrot Bebop drone is a steal! This drone is small & lightweight, making it easy to take with you anywhere. Available in a variety of colors, this drone has a little bit more of a playful vibe. The durable shell of the drone will withstand a lot, making people who are scared of breaking their latest gadget feel a little bit more comfortable. The Parrot Bebop also has an included camera, while it only faces forward, still can appease those out there looking to film.
Regarding price, the UDI RC drone blows them all out of the water, clocked in at below $150 its hard to think of a reason why not to purchase one. While the price might indicate a budget drone, it surely is not. with a 6 axis gyro & onboard camera, you surely are not missing out on any features.
If you've been tiptoeing about purchasing a drone I hope these picks have helped. Let me know in the comments below if you'll be picking one up in the near future!

Fujifilm Instax Mini 90, Capturing Memories
I'm obsessed when it comes to gadgets & cameras, I absolutely love having the latest & niftiest tech out there! Back for New Year's Eve one of our friends was shooting polaroid pictures on her Fujifilm Instax, I fell in love immediately. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't green with envy seeing her 'retro' style pictures compared to my high quality snaps I was taking on my Sony QX100. I've got to say, sometimes having a physical photo is better than the digital counterparts we carry around with us on our phones on the daily.
This past weekend while shopping around in the city, we wandered into a camera store that had the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic. The second I saw it I knew I had to have it. The Instax Mini 90 has advanced shooting modes, allowing you to take your photography to a whole new level. The double exposure & bulb modes have been my favorite. I've been able to mash up shots in the double exposure mode to create some great images. While the bulb mode sounds cool, I have yet to capture a moving light image with it yet! I've been going overboard & carrying it with me everywhere, attempting to capture every great memory. It was the perfect companion (besides my date of course) to Valentine's Day dinner, moments like this are meant to be captured.
While I won't be giving up my Instagram account soon or ditch my digital cameras, the Mini 90 Neo Classic has become the perfect addition to my collection. I imagine I will soon have little polaroid shots all over my house! Having physically in front of me a snap of a treasured memory will make me happy every single time I wait for the image to develop!
