August at Wickpy
A month for holidaying and relaxation, August is also a time many will look to a new academic year.
What's new at Wickpy
At Wickpy, it's given us time to do some development work, which we're excited to share with you soon.
If you're not getting ready for class next month, that doesn't mean you can't get in on the fun and treat September as a time to hit refresh: a new notebook or way of doing things, a clear out, or making a commitment to something that helps you grow. You got this!
We're loving
If you're drowning in negative notifications the 'I am' app may be the perfect antidote to give your brain a positive boost.
Finding herself alone in a new city after a break up and receiving all the usual toxic news and social media notifications, Noelle Stransky set out to build the 'I am' app, which delivers positive affirmations throughout the day, and we can't get enough of it.
From the creators:"How many negative thoughts have been endlessly repeating in your mind? Daily affirmations help rewire our brains, build self esteem and change negative thought patterns. Empower yourself by verbally affirming your dreams and ambitions." (Monkeytaps)
The full version of the app is currently £19.99 annually. The free option offers enough features to receive affirmations by notification.
'I am' is available to download from the App Store.
Seasonal
With summer in the air we're loving all things Juniper Berry. From a refreshing G&T in the evening to a relaxing aromatherapy candle, Juniper is always fresh and cleansing.
And, with the new academic year and autumn on the horizon, Juniper is a great accompaniment to clear the air and embrace the new in your life.
Action Station
The world watched on in horror as the Biden administration exited Afghanistan leaving the Taliban to take control of the country in lightning speed.
With the Taliban's track record on human rights, it makes the situation extremely dangerous for Afghan people left under their rule. UNICEF remains on the ground in Afghanistan providing support to children caught up in the crisis.
