A few highlights from my Dolomites hiking trip with a bestie, which provided ample time to think, be present and practice gratitude when it was truly needed. 🇮🇹🗻🎒 #Holiday >

My smartwatch - a Fitbit Versa 2 - gave up the ghost just a few days before my Dolomites hiking holiday. One of my daily highlights was *meant* to be crunching data to evidence my achievements. Now, I’m just mindfully hiking without feeling the pressure. I’m free! ⌚️ >

Edward Enninful has launched 72 magazine, a £15 print publication with Julia Roberts as his debut ‘cover girl’, which seeks to defy #media trends and consumer behaviour (via @theguardian.com) >

I agree - films have no opportunity to build word-of-mouth momentum anymore. Surely, there’s an argument that all great films are 50% content, 50% community. Yes, the sofa can generate some real-time feedback from friends or family, but the shared gasp, laugh or shriek in the auditorium matters 🍿

This data-led shopping list from @bankuet.bsky.social is a nice touch in its emails to remind supporters of the small, practical things they can do to make a difference. But, the fact that the unrelenting cost-of-living crisis is still driving up numbers breaks my heart. #Charity #Marketing 🛒 >

I agree with the sentiment and am very inspired by this success story, but it’s important to note it’s a choice that not everyone can make. It relies on the following assumptions: you have savings, you have stable home options, you have a supportive network who can help you navigate the limbo 💸 >

I compressed my hours to have a full day off to study part-time in 2022, and haven’t reverted back. Professionally, it makes me more organised and has led me to adopt a ‘progress over perfection’ mentality. Personally, it gives me a beat to breathe without feeling guilty, or eating into weekends.

Gen Z is flocking to Pinterest with half of the platform’s users now in the 16 to 24 age bracket. The #socialmedia site is also seeing strong results from shoppable pins and AI-powered advertising 📌 > mumbrella.com.au/pinterest-us...

It’s not often that I’ll follow up on ‘who sang that?’, especially as the credits roll on a TV show, but Cleo Sol’s ‘Fear When You Fly’, as heard on the penultimate episode of And Just Like That… cut through the noise. It’s real, raw and beautiful at the same time 🎧 #Music > youtu.be/Bz2DdqjxAjI?...

I haven’t trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) #therapy myself - a technique used to help people process traumatic experiences - but it was good to see it helpfully woven into Jimmy McGovern’s gritty storyline in ‘Unforgiveable’. Fantastic acting from a superb writer.

We all have a version of ourselves we’re working toward. Wiser. Calmer. More present. More fulfilled. And it’s easy to talk about that version. To name the habits we want to build, the boundaries we hope to set, the life we plan to create. But talk doesn’t build momentum.👇🏾

A great #CultureSaturday touring @royalacademyarts.bsky.social, National Portrait Gallery and Saatchi in the sunshine. ☀️ An eclectic mix of work including the Young Artists’ Summer Show, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award and Hip-Hop Living a Dream exhibitions 🏛️ >

Goodbye Great Uncle Danny. Spending quality time with you late last year was a gift. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the love. Blessed to be family, always and forever. 🖤💚💛 #Jamaica >

Just watched Ron Howard’s ‘Thirteen Lives’ - the miracle Thailand cave rescue mission - on BBC iPlayer which relied on faith, grit and guts. Rooted in reality, the #film makes you aware of the risk and urgency without resorting to unnecessary dialogue or suspenseful music. 🤿 >

The Fountain Therapy Trust, a small faith-based #counselling charity based in New Malden, is seeking two new #Trustees to join its board to help shape, develop and grow the service across South West London. Find out more about our impactful work here > thefountaintherapytrust.com/2025/07/22/j...

I began watching the original Naked Gun film for a dose of nostalgia… until I was reminded that OJ Simpson was in it. Thank you, next. 👮🏻‍♂️🚨🚔 #Movies >

Ever wondered where superheroes get their energy from? The fight for good stems from childhood trauma. But, for #counselling clients, it’s important to be aware that the coping strategies they needed then, don’t have to be same ones they use today 🦸🏽‍♀️ > thefountaintherapytrust.com/2025/07/31/n...

Here's some helpful advice for #marketing and #content teams on feeding back on creative design. Trust the original brief; build on creative (rather than strip it away); and be brave. If you can't be brave, who do you need permission from? > www.elevenagency.co.uk/insight/how-...

I’ve just watched ‘Women Talking’ for the first time on BBC iPlayer. It’s a phenomenal #film, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about its hard-hitting themes and depth since. Women need. Women want. And, most of all, #women deserve. Emotive, yet determined. ✊🏽 >

There are so many wonderful things about the IMO #podcast but this episode - ft. Barack Obama - on raising and supporting young men gives me hope that it can be done (and it’ll be a pleasure to play any small part in doing so as the benefits are far reaching) ✊🏽 > podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

Meta's closing the hatches on lazy #content duplication - credit the original or add meaningful enhancements when sharing to prevent account penalties. A good move that should provide a better user experience while injecting more creativity into the industry > creators.facebook.com/blog/combati...

A really lovely afternoon at the #Tate Modern learning about Emily Kam Kngwarray, celebrating her powerful work and cultural heritage as an Anmatyerr woman from the Sandover region of the Northern Territory of Australia. 🇦🇺 #CultureSunday >

TikTok’s done more to open up the Sylvanian Families brand for Gen Z than Epoch has. Is this sour grapes that the ‘collectible effect’ hasn’t rubbed off during recent Labubu sell-outs? Epoch should suggest exclusive collabs rather than dragging the creator to court > www.bbc.com/news/article...
