Three Things for Your Weekend

#17: November 1st, 2024

Welcome to this week’s roundup of three things I’ve been enjoying!

💻 The Everygirl’s monthly tech backgrounds. Being back at uni, I’m spending more time than I have in years on my personal laptop, and I’ve been gussying it up to be a nice digital space. I noticed that a few friends online had backgrounds from The Everygirl on their laptops, so I went for a recce on their website, and now November will be the third consecutive month I’ve had one of their backgrounds on my phone, laptop, and tablet.

🎧 Fruitfulness - the new series of the simple things' podcast. It’s snuggle season and I loved this discussion from Lisa Sykes and Becs Frank from the simple things magazine about marvelling at autumn colours and keeping seasonal melancholy from ruining our lives.

🧴 Wild deodorant. I went online and ordered a regular top-up of the lovely Wild deodorants I’ve been using for a while - as well as a starter of their shower gel, which comes in mostly-cardboard refills to slide into a pump bottle. The deodorants are genuinely fantastic, and they now do an entirely-cardboard travel size which I took on my many trips in October (so relieved to be staying at home this month!!). After I paid they gave me a 50% off offer to share with my friends - here’s the link! (I think I get some sort of kickback if you use it - but it’s not any sort of formal ‘referral code’, I’m not a big enough newsletter for that!)
