Weekly Favorites - 10.21.17
Felt - App - iOS
There are a ton of different physical mail/card/note apps out there. This app Felt, is one of two that I LOVE. I'll talk about the other one on here another time. Felt just has so many great things going for it. You can "hand write" your card in the app or type it. You can use your own photos or their designs. You can send cash, flowers, and even a pumpkin carving kit along with your card. The pumpkin kit is one of many different seasonal specials they have for different holidays. A regular card costs about $3. I use this app pretty frequently and I definitely suggest you give it a shot.
My Hero Academia - TV Show - Anime
This show took me by surprise. I love anime but I just wasn't prepared for how much I love this show. It took a couple episodes to really get into things but after that it doesn't let up. It's about a kid Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world full of people with "quirks" AKA powers. Think X-men but virtually everyone has powers...except Izuku. I don't want to spoil it so I won't go into anymore detail but trust me if you like anime, or super hero stuff, this is worth your time. Season 2 just ended so you're not too far behind and you have plenty of time to catch up before Season 3. As of this writing, I believe you can watch it on Crunchyroll, FunimationNOW, and Hulu.
Korean Rice Cakes - FOOD - Blue Apron
I've really been loving these meal kit subscriptions lately. Korean Rice Cakes are by far the best thing I've come across so far. See those water chestnut looking discs? Those are actually chewy, delicious rice cakes. Apparently they're a common street food in Korea or so says the internet. This meal is something I would describe as Asian Hamburger Helper but with chewy dumpling things instead of noodles. If you're ever in Bloomington, hit me up and I'll fix you some. If not hit up your local international market for the ingredients or if you're lucky your local grocer may have some like mine does. If you're interested in Blue Apron hit me up for a discount code. Looking for the recipe? I've left a link for it below.
Tumbler and Lid - S'Well - $40 w/Lid
I've had this for exactly one week and one day and I have used it literally every single day of that time. Yes, this is just another insulated tumbler functionally like all the rest but it has this great texture on the outside and it looks so much nicer than your average stainless steel model. They have a bunch of other designs like Marble and Gold but as always I stick with Black or Navy, so I went with Black(Onyx, if you want to get technical). Looking for something more sealed? I also have some of their bottles and they are great too. I always have a bottle in my backpack, even now for refills in this beauty.
That's it for this week's favorites. Thanks for reading.
