I always keep every Safari tab open on my phone and then clean it out on the last day of each month. I sometimes keep ones I check regularly, like my Substack dashboard, my apartment bus shuttle schedule, or an article I want to return. But I mostly clear out my tabs because I don’t like clutter, so I thought it would be really nice to start immortalizing them on a Substack post because I think it’s a good way to remember what I was doing or looking at that month.
My August tabs are a mix-match of many things—some clothes and accessories on my fall wishlist, some interesting websites, some cool words I read in books and wanted to record for later, some small press websites, some art paintings I saw in passing and didn’t want to forget (also random Zillow listings, recipes, and fragrance wishlists).
On top of that, I always have all of the article sites I love visiting in my favorites so I can access them as soon as I open my Safari!
(also, this was inspired by
’s genius post!)[This post gets cut off on the email, so read it in the app or on your desktop <3]
Here are all the tabs I had open in August on my Safari app:
McNally edition books (the prettiest editions ever)
my Goodreads to-read list
the character personality test from Open Psychometrics
a link to ’s unreleased song (!!!)
recipe for oreo blondies (the best recipe; I used 200g of sugar instead of 300g)
this gorgeous gorgeous Santa Monica house listing on Zillow
definition of pulchritude on Merriam Webster
article on still art in the Dutch Golden Age
Fragrantica page of Xerjoff’s Apollonia (my current perfume obsession)
