Alright, those are my picks for the week, what are some of your faves this week? And I'd love to hear feedback on this feature.

So let me know in the comments (or by clicking the like thumbs up/down button in the top left corner of the comments section.) Just want to know if y'all find this helpful or not. :)

Have a great weekend!
