Hey there people,
Its Sunday August 3rd and the high season is officially upon us.
This week we planned to give ourselves a summer break and just make a slim edition with the few tricks we already had up our sleeves… But, somehow there were enough golden nuggets✨ that it almost became a regular edition…
Maybe we’ll take a summer pause next week. Lets see.

Anyway, keeping it short & sweet today, let’s get into it…
