From lip stain to a laptop mic: Inside Chloé Carolines creator essentials
singer-songwriter Chloe Caroline for Mashable's In My Bag

For artist and creator Chloé Caroline, what’s in her bag isn't just about what she carries — it's about what keeps her grounded.

Between music video shoots, content creation, and daily walks by the beach (where she says many of her best ideas come from), Caroline's essentials help her stay creative, balanced, and camera-ready wherever she goes.

Here's what she never leaves home without.

The content creator basics

These first two are basic content creator needs aside from my iPhone and Macbook Pro. First up: my mini iPhone tripod. I easily travel with it everywhere. And my small attachable ring light for my iPhone.

Beauty products that make you look camera-ready

These next three products help me look good on camera in every photo and video, even if I didn’t have access to mascara or the rest of my makeup.

Gear that keeps the music going

JLab LUX ANC Headphones

These are incredible noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones with a "be aware" mode and crazy long battery life for long editing sessions.

JLab Create Wireless LAV Mic System, EPIC Talk Microphone, and GoParty Bluetooth Speakers

These are perfect for playback during my music video shoots (you can connect up to 100 speakers!).

Taylor 210E Acoustic Guitar

I mean, I started creating content with only me and a guitar, so I can’t forget about this one.

Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen Audio Interface

$299.99 at Amazon
$329.98 Save $29.99
 

This is small, portable, and great for both beginners and experienced users. I use it most when I’m doing any at-home recording or even live recording for higher-quality acoustic videos.

Smart accessories for a creator on the go

ZVE Crossbody Wallet Case for iPhone 16 Pro

I sometimes go on walks while I edit, and this wraps around me to make it easier to hold my phone. It can also be used as a kickstand.

Mindfulness essentials

A journal

I need this to write down affirmations, gratitude, and goals for the week. This keeps my brain a little less cluttered!

Sage

As woo-woo as it sounds, it makes it easier to film in an environment that relaxes me and smells great.
