1️⃣ Tame Your Windows with a Click 🪄🖥️

This could be you!

Have you been drowning in a sea of open windows on your computer? Wishing for Spotify to be at the bottom left, Finder on the top right, while that big document stretches grandly in the center? 🖥️ Or perhaps you've yearned to place two windows side by side, sharing a perfect 50-50 split for some serious comparison. But the thought of manually dragging windows feels like preparing to run a marathon... backwards. 🏃‍♂️💨 Sound familiar?

Well, have I got a treat for you, and for myself! Rectangle! It’s a software to end your windows-management woes. How? Rectangle offers simple keyboard shortcuts and snap areas to arrange your open windows. No more drag-and-drop. Push a few keys and you can snap windows into halves, thirds, or quarters, creating a desktop so tidy it would make Marie Kondo cry. 😭👌

Rectangle has shortcuts ready to deploy, but you can also create your own 🤹‍♂️ Watch Anson from YouTube break it down.

Now, if looking at keyboard shortcuts makes your weep, worry not. I’m someone who dreads anything that remotely looks like an instruction manual, but took the plunge and it turned out to be game-changingly simple. Give it a shot. And if it worked wonders for me, there's a good chance you'll find it just as magical. Enjoy your clean new desktop!! 🗂️

When was the last time you deep cleaned those AirPods or just even wipe? Yeahhhh, me too, me too 🙈.

Dive into this slightly icky yet utterly gratifying AirPods cleaner. A touch gross 🤢, but totally satisfying. Or gift it to a "friend"😉  or a husband. Don’t gift it to a wife.

And don't be surprised if after this your left AirPod finally starts charging or the right AirPod finally starts working. Happy Unclogging 🧹🧼

3️⃣ Scalp Care Is the New Skin Care 💆‍♀️

THIS!

There is a new trend in town - and it’s sweeping through our bathrooms 🚿. It's the wave of spending a looong time (longer than usual) in the shower taking care of your hair and scalp. Its turning the humble shower into a salon-like pampering experience. This has to do with the deluge of specialized products that now exist for hair and scalp care 🧴 - cleansers, conditioning masks, scalp serums, scrubs, and bond builders, aimed at addressing specific hair and scalp needs from moisture to growth to damage repair. These products are typically designed for use in the shower, as they work best on wet hair. Buying these products isn't too much of a leap for most, as they're a bit of luxury that doesn't break the bank. It also appears that folks are seeking refuge from stress in their showers. Scalp care is the new skin care 💆🏻‍♀️.

This has lead to the rise of another trend in it wake - stay with me - the Status Showerhead. A splashy umbrella term for Showerheads that aim to make the mundane act of showering 🚿 into an emblem of status and sophistication. But what do these showerheads do? They promise a clean rinse without the harsh chemicals in the water, AND double up as a photogenic accessory for your bathroom selfies. 📸 Basically very fancy take on the cheap filtered showerheads.

There is Jolie, the symbol of style and health, with features in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, and with the noble goal of becoming a conversation starter at dinner parties 🍽️. But waters are getting crowded, and competitors Canopy and Act+Acre not far behind. Canopy, with its roots in humidifiers, introduced a filtered showerhead that diffuses branded fragrance. Act+Acre, dedicated to scalp care, introduced its own take on the filtered showerhead.

So, maybe its time to roll up that old garden hose and step into a new current of luxury. Give one of these Status Showerheads a whirl, maybe add your own touch of luxury with this portable fragrance diffuser 🧖🏼‍♀️ None of this is for you? Then maybe you're the kind who believes two heads are better than one- try this tandem showerhead instead.
