WHEW, we made it to the end of March. Itâs the end of the first quarter (if you work in a corp environment like me, this is always a milestone). Itâs finally spring in the northern hemisphere â the sun has returned, the Earth is waking up, and I feel GOOD.
This weekâs newsletter is jam-packed with articles and some other Substack recommendations. I even included links to my weekly playlists. Of course, there are memes to round it out. Have a laugh and roll into your weekend on a high note, will ya?
Reminder: starting next week, Chill Vibes will only be available to paid subscribers only. If you donât want to miss out, take advantage of my March Madness offer and upgrade to an annual subscription for 15% off (this offer is only good through today!).
BEATS & OTHER AUDIO RECS
Apple Music knows me a little too well⌠which, is a great thing. My latest mixes:
Current podcast lineup:
Buried Bones, for a really interesting take on true crime
Deep Cover - Never Seen Again, for compelling true crime stories
Missing Pages, for book/publishing scandals
Trend Lightly, for all things internet culture
Was It Real? The Hills Rewatch, because I loved that show!!
READS & OTHER FINDS
Get it while itâs hot: I have THREE (3) Guest Passes to Masterclass available. These expire on April 4, so donât wait!
This isnât an ad, although, I wish theyâd sponsor me!! I genuinely love this website and its vast catalog â I use it often and personally have an annual pass. Totally worth it if youâre going to take more than 2 courses in a calendar year, IMO.
First come, first served!
This gets you 14 days of access to Masterclass for FREE so you can cruise the catalog, check out the instructors and courses available, and watch a handful of videos to see if itâs something youâll enjoy using.
