Free Winter Phone Wallpapers

It's that time of year again! We all love to change our phone backgrounds around the holidays, so I've created SIX new ones for you to use this season.

Download the size you need below, and leave me a comment telling me which one is your favorite!

Note: The knit sweater and fa la la patterns both work great as wallpapers, but make the time on your lock screen more difficult to read. If you love the knit pattern and still want to read the time, try the red version instead!

And if none of the above fit your mood, check out last year's designs!

The List App

Screen Shot 2015-10-15 at 9.02.07 PM
I've had my Twitter account for over six years. When I first joined it, I thought it was genius. It was all the best parts of status updates without any of the spammy posts from Facebook (little did I know how much more spammy Facebook would get). I still love Twitter.

Then Instagram came along, and that was even better. Nicely curated, beautiful photos and a fun community? Sign me up. Twice. I still love Instagram too, don't get me wrong.

But this week, a new social media platform launched: The List App. B.J. Novak (of The Office fame) and Dev Flaherty co-created this app, which has already been in beta for about a year.

And you guys? I think I may have found my perfect social media platform.

I love lists. They're the best. Users can make lists about their current obsessions, favorite things, daily updates, or honestly, anything else. You can like, relist, comment on, and save lists made by others, and suggest lists you'd like to see from specific users. If someone has a great idea for a list that you want to make too, just hold down the title of the list and the app will open a new one for you, the title already filled out and the original author credited in the caption.

I am so fully on board with this idea. I've already created several lists (follow me @alexandra) and have a dozen more in my drafts folder, and I've only had the app for about 24 hours. I can't wait to see what other lists people come up with as this platform continues to grow. Please feel free to send me suggestions for new lists you'd like to see me post as well!

Check out my lists so far, as well as some of my favorite lists by other people, below.

Other Good Lists:

"Human beings are innately inclined towards structuring information; it’s one of our primary means of understanding. Lists are simple, powerful; the gold standard of sorting and sharing information for thousands of years."
