Monday Memo No. 40
Wow, Monday’s just going to come out of nowhere like that? Okay.
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
If you’re a Hitchcock fiend like me, you’ve likely seen the movie version of this book. It’s one of my all-time favorites and Hitchcock’s first big Hollywood success. But as with all things, the book is better—and still an engrossing read even if you’ve already seen the movie. If you’re an audiobook person, it’s been really well done on Audible by narrator Anna Massey. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Sunday Riley’s CEO Vitamin C Oil
Sunday Riley’s CEO Vitamin C Oil (also available here) is a new-ish product from one of my favorite skincare brands that eliminates two of my morning routine steps—vitamin c serum and facial oil—and I’m all ears when it comes to timesaving finds that are ALSO skincare. This product brightens, evens, moisturizes, combats aging and is packed with amazing vitamins offering antioxidant protection and much more. Sign me and my face up.
iPhone Sleep Timer
I often turn on a show or podcast while I’m falling asleep, but not every app (especially video streaming apps) have a sleep timer. Maybe this is something the rest of the world already knows, but I just realized the amazing sleep timer functionality that’s already built into the Clock app on your iPad or iPhone. All you have to do is open the Clock app >> tap on Timer >> select how much time you want before your show/podcast/audiobook stops playing >> and select “Stop Playing” on the “When Timer Ends” line. Did anyone else’s life just change?
Le Specs Sunglasses
Sunnies! You’ve seen me wear this pair of black cat-eye Le Specs Sunglasses incessantly over the past year, and I just added this tortoise cat-eye pair to my collection. I just love Le Spec’s designs and the price tags are always fantastic. Apparently Meghan Markle’s a fan too. Cool.
Collagen Creamer
Huh? What? Yes. Collagen creamer is a thing, and it’s essentially a dairy-free creamer that contains collagen protein and healthy fats from organic coconut milk. You just add it to your morning coffee or tea like always and watch the benefits to your hair, skin, nails, and joints swoop in.
Lipstick-sized Portable Charger
Don’t fancy carrying an actual brick with you on a night out? Same. This smaller portable charger is great for the events where you’re just bringing a clutch or small cross-body. Packs plenty of power to get you there and back again without asking a bartender to plug in your phone next to the Mezcal.
Commute Laptop Sleeve
I am team laptop sleeve, especially when running into a meeting. This was of course after having not been team laptop sleeve, and suffering dire consequences as a result. This Mark & Graham option is as stylish and functional as they come—the monograms are kind of everything and the interior pockets keep everything organized as you jump from meeting to meeting. It comes in the most gorgeous leather colors—navy, black, camel, blush and red. I’ll take one of each, thank you.

I’m pretty excited about the sleep timer thing. Thanks for plumbing the depths of iPhone mysteries for the rest of us.

I haven’t actually read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier but I completely agree – the book is always better! So thanks for sharing – I might just have to add that to my list of books to read 🙂
