My Friday Favs
Each week, I share some of my favorite things of the week—podcasts, books, shows, documentaries, products, communities, or people I love. Below is the full list of my favorite things.
I love a good rec., don’t you?!
2025
May 9
1. iPhone Features I Should Have Known About Sooner 📱
1️⃣ Focus/Sleep Mode: Settings → Focus
Set time for focus or sleep and select who, if anyone, can interrupt with a call or text.
2️⃣ White Noise: Settings → Accessibility → Audio & Visual → Background Sounds
Turn on White Noise, Rain, Ocean, Stream, etc. wherever you have your iPhone. Background noise is a MUST for me to sleep.
3️⃣ Schedule Your Text to Send: Start a text. Hit the “+” sign. Select “Send Later” Voila. No more sending late night texts to your friend who you know goes to bed at 8 pm. (Which is me. I am that friend.)
