Wednesday Duvet Reading
Well happy Wednesday ! As per I thought I'd share a few of the gems that have tickled my pickle this week per se and hope you enjoy getting stuck into them as much as I have!
The Must-Reads:
I'm a frequent clicker on anything Man Repeller publishes, and this week (after seeing my friend Sarah share it) I adored this piece on self respect, written by the amazing Dolly Alderton. She talks about self-maintenance, dignity and doing things for you and not an audience. She says, 'self-respect is always voting, instead of always talking about voting. Self-respect is recycling, instead of talking about recycling. Self-respect is not making dinner plans with someone to keep them happy when you know you have too much work and you’re going to cancel day-of.' As many other wonderful truths, and I strongly recommend a read. I also loved the piece published on what femininity means to a collective of inspiring women (all dressed in Dior, no less)- which was a total sartorial treat (and wonderfully written too). I also loved The Pool's piece on feeling shamed into spending money and as always love tucking into the Refinery 29 Money Diaries- which are an amazing way of breaking the taboo about salaries and budgeting.
The Blog Post:
I've been a fan of Alex's for ever and although I bloody love literally everything she posts (be it on Instagram, Stories or her blog)- she did publish a couple of pieces this week which I did want to especially share. The first was her chat with the amazing Naomi Mdudu and Marisa behind Missoma, discussing the balancing act of running a business and juggling it all which, as you'd expect, was incredibly insightful and helpful from two amazing women. I also loved her post about some very cool ethical brands, which has definitely pushed me to get my post on something similar in the works- as I have a lot of love for going green at the moment.
The Website Love:
It's been a sweet while since I've got in the kitchen and done any kind of baking, but after seeing a few of Ruby Tandoh's gorgeous recipes pop up on my Twitter feed this week- it's become incredibly hard to avoid flicking on the hob, melting some butter and cooking up a storm. In particular her chocolate cake (in time for, ahem, Easter/every day) and the risotto. Hubba. Anyway, there's plenty of delicious flavoursome recipes to cook at home, which don't require obscure ingredients but have a serious taste pay off. Kudos, lady.
The Podcast:
Am I cheating by recommending something I haven't yet listened to? Perhaps! Who knows! Anyway, if you were as much of a fan of Serial as I was (I still consider the Jay/Adnan debate on the regs) then I've heard S-Town is quite something (it's also been created by the people behind Serial and This American Life, so I'm sure it won't disappoint). I know I'm in no position to shed the total 411 on this, but I'm planning on giving it a listen this week- so if anyone has already checked it out, let me know what you thought!
