I have a habit of bookmarking a ridiculous amount of unread articles to my Facebook ‘saved’ folder. I’ll stumble across a story, think “Ooh, that sounds interesting” then completely forget about it until I get a notification telling me I have 15 unread saves from this week! I’m always grateful for it when I’m waiting for a coffee or stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a Friday afternoon. Sometimes, the articles turn out to be a complete waste of digital space (damn you, clickbait!) But often, I actually learn something really interesting.
So, whether you want to impress your friends with your knowledge on the latest developments in science and tech or just grab the latest beauty goss – here are my fave links from over the weekend.
