Newsletters of Note



Much like podcasts, I feel like the old-school, digital newsletters are having a comeback. They sure beat the almost spam-like advertising from online stores. The junkmail for the 21st century/pigeons of the Internet, am I right? Newsletters are more for settling down with, discovering longer pieces to read and like and just having something to look forward to in your inbox. Today I thought I'd share six of my favourites that I read, like and bookmark to visit all the linky goodness they include for later on...

Monday Motivator x Betty Magazine: So technically I usually read this on a Tuesday because of the time difference but hey, it's still early enough in the week to be inspired and a treat to read. Charlotte shares some weekly wisdom and food for thought, as well as fun links and of course things to buy. Honestly, her recommendations are so good. Well worth a peruse. Subscribe here.

Big Feels Club: BFC was first brought to my attention via frankie magazine towards the end of the year. After reading their interview with founders Honor & Graham, I went to investigate their website and immediately signed up. Every second Monday, a new newsletter makes its way in to your inbox. For anyone dealing with life shiz and in need of perhaps a comforting read+some darn good advice, this is for you. Subscribe here

Wild Kin x Urban Wild: My pal Brit has a radtastic newsletter that she curates biweekly full of fantastic links from around the interwebs. She also lets you in on what she's been up to and shares handy links to all her blog+vlog goodness. It's the place to get sneak-previews of her awesome babe vibe interviewees as well. Subscribe here and scroll down to the end of the page. 

Sunday Duvet Reading x What Olivia Did: My internet pen-pal has a newsletter all her own that I love settling in to read on a Monday morning. Again, time differences and the like, not a terrible thing. Landing in your inbox most weeks, Liv rounds up the best of the interwebs, shares her blog posts to revisit (I'm a Liv fangirl, so chances are I've read them already), ideas worthy of a RT, someone cool to follow and more. Subscribe here, again scroll down. Scroll scroll scroll!

Read. Look. Think. x Jessica Stanley: I can't remember how I stumbled upon this brilliant newsletter-possibly through someone else's blog. Anyway, read+look+think is a curation of, as Jessica puts it, "the thoughtful, complex, beautiful and good." The newsletter name is pretty self explanatory and each is laden with plenty of things to peruse. There's not a regular schedule with this one but I'd say you can expect to find it in your inbox at least once or twice a month. Subscribe here

the frankie morning news x frankie magazine: Ahh, my beloved frankie also has a newsletter. It's pretty snazzy, brightening your inbox weekly. Expect to see things to make, music to look at, books to read, thing to cook-then eat among other things. If you're too time-pressed to read their blog, it also serves as a best of the best of that. Subscribe here.

Things I Watched+Liked: March




In a further quest to share a bit more love to things I've watched on and offline, I've made this lil' list. Today we have a bit of everything; fashion, lifestyle and dark comedy. Get comfy, grab a coffee and maybe some seasonal chocolate if you're that way inclined...

Inside the Wardrobe of Rosalind Jana: Biased because Liv & Rosalind are two of my favourite Internet ladies and have rather stellar wardrobes. Regardless, I loved seeing inside the well-stocked wardrobe of Rosalind Jana. That lady knows her way around a thrift store and always looks fabulous. Don't believe me? Have a look at her Instagram. Interesting watching and I love the stories behind her clothes. 

Dealing & Living with Depression: Britney and I go way back. Actually I think this year it's seven years since we met. Crikey! Anyway, she is the reason I am here blogging at all because she made it seem so cool and fun and I wanted in. So thanks B. Anyway, she is creating some fantastic discussions on her blog and YouTube around mental health. They're candid and real. We need more content like this. I don't want to call her 'brave' or inspirational because sharing stories like this shouldn't feel exceptional, even though in the present day it kinda is. Anyway, freakin' brilliant person. Go watch. 

Moving Into A Studio Apartment: Tara, aka one half of the dynamic duo that is Shop Style Conquer studies fashion design in Melbourne (yass) and recently got her own studio apartment. She's still setting it up I think but I enjoyed seeing this glimpse into what it is like and of course that IKEA furniture. Side note: NZ, needs an IKEA and needed it yesterday. On that note, I recommend all of Tara and Ellen's videos. 

The Party: Not a YouTube video but a film. A dark comedy or dramedy as I believe they're referred to. It stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Timothy Spall and Patricia Clarkson among others. The whole film revolves around one evening at a dinner party and the secrets, off-the-cuff comments and drama that ensues. It's brilliantly written and well worth the watch.
