Welcome to ‘5 things’, a monthly round-up ‘sletter created with the purpose of hopefully introducing you to some cool new things. Whether newly discovered or tried and true—I share 5 things with you each month that really caught my attention.

Okay I know I said I wouldn't talk about how quickly time is passing anymore in the 'sletters but I swear I JUST wrote a 5 Things email last week and now it's month's end!? huhhhhh?? Make it make sense.

Truthfully this month has been a blur. After I got back from Asia, it's been such a rush to catch up, level up, read more, do more, write more, learn more @_@ I am DIZZY from everything that's been going on.

On the bright side, I did fall in love with more things so here we are with another episode (can I call it that?) of the 5 Things 'sletter.

The only coffee cup I drink from now - I am a chronically slow drinker. Whether it's water, coffee, tea, or any other beverage, I am typically nursing the same drink from 8 am to 4 pm. (It's also why I'm so dehydrated all the time). But this Fellow Carter Tumbler with their Move lid is my ultimate saving grace. It will keep your drink warm LITERALLY ALL DAY. It's wild.

The coziest cardigan I own - I discovered the french brand Sézane this year and although their summer collections were amazing, their sweaters are absolutely to-die for. I got this pink cardigan from them earlier in Autumn and it's my go-to cardigan now. Not to mention the pink is stunning.

The sexiest phone case I've ever owned - What could be so sexy about a phone case? Well it's not JUST the phone case that makes the MOFT creator kit sexy. It's the fact that it comes with a phone case, a mobile tripod stand, a magnetized wallet (that doubles as a secondary stand) AND a phone strap that makes this the sexiest phone case ever. It's been the perfect accessories for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and I swear I'm never looking back.

The nicest personalized planner ever - I swore off paper journals for a while after my Notion addiction became a thing. But I recently worked with Papier, a UK based stationary brand, and I am absolutely obsessed with my Undated Daily Planner. I get questions about it all the time, and this is the exact one I have. I love the daily layout and space to track your goals. I've used it every single day since I got it.

The best personalized playlist I've ever experienced - We all know by now that Spotify's music algorithm is the single best thing ever created (if you don't know, now you do). I discovered the 'Day List' this month and it's almost scary how well Spotify knows my taste in music and what I need at different points in the day. It refreshes 3 times a day (I believe morning, mid day, and evening) and creates a playlist based on your music taste and what you like to listen to at different points in the day. As I'm writing this at 5 pm on a Wednesday, my Day List mood is:

No but it was actually exactly what I wanted to listen to (of course).

To find your Day List, just search 'Day List' in Spotify and it should look something like this.

Hope you discovered something new to love! That's our October 5 things wrapped 🫶🏼
