I hope this helps answer many of your questions on what to purchase.  HERE is a link to my Amazon shop, unfortunately sometimes the links change so using the resources above is the best option.  I do receive a small commission from my affiliate shop.

You will also find free PDFs that you can download on my Freebies page.  These are great for having information right at your fingertips.
