At long last: Second Takes are back! September 2025

I've been meaning to drop another Second Takes video for a LONG time. These videos are where I talk about what I've been using and liking (or not). The list has gotten long in the last few months, so this video got a bit long. Enjoy!

There are too many things here to link them all, but they're listed in the chapters below. Lots of them are available from my affiliate links, too!

** I bought most of these, was given some of them, but either way: I try not to let that sort of thing color my reviews. What you see is what I got. Thanks for the support, everyone! **
