Enhance your leisure, card games, calendars, and Sluggs

Welcome to Vol. 3 of Have You Heard About...

Vacation®

What started as an 80's inspired playlist has become an example of internet virality at its finest. When Marty Bell first launched his playlist/website Poolside FM (now Poolsuite), he never thought the concept would one day become the world's hottest sunscreen brand.

In creating a true 80's aesthetic, Vacation has spared no detail. Invoices are sent on dot-matrix printer paper, pop-ups on the site look like old coupons, and the imagery takes you straight back to the summer of 1986.

Their sunscreen is excellent. It's marketed as "Leisure Enhancing Sunscreen". And it is. 😎

Uno®

It's easy to learn and fun to play.

I play with my son, who's five, and he beats me most of the time.

You can pick up a deck for around $7. Cheaper than a month of Netflix.

Tweek

This is one of the best to-do list/calendar apps I've used. I have a terrible habit of trying out every calendar and to-do app on the market. I've tried them all.

I like the simplicity of Tweek. You sync it with your Google calendar and add your to-dos directly into Tweek. You can quickly move the to-do's to a different day if needed.

I also like how you mark each of the calendar events as complete. There's something satisfying about finishing the day with a clean slate.
