Nectar was one of my favorite projects from 2019, so hearing that Yung Lean had another project coming under his alter ego Jonatan Leandoer96, I knew it would be a certified day 1 listen™️. While nectar felt like raw indie rock, Blodhundar feels more atmospheric and hypnotic, with heavy folk influences. Songs like My City and Vitriol come hard in the hypno region, while other songs like Snake Ice could almost fit in a regular Yung Lean album. Please take the time to check this one out! Favorite track? Machines.

Continuing off of my last outdoor apparel rec through the GO OUT magazine, I still can't stop myself from browsing outdoor apparel. Especially fleeces, vests, puffers, pants with excessive pockets, etc. Some of these pieces are super hard to come by in the US. Personally, I feel like I've been trapped inside outdoor brand bubble that consists of Arc’teryx, Patagonia, North Face, Fjällräven, etc. Recently, I've discovered This Thing of Ours, a UK based retailer that curates different brands around the world. They pride themselves in having more low-key brands and browsing through their Coats & Jackets section, the catalog speaks for itself.

Double-cleansing has done my skin wonders this past year. I use to break out a lot. Previously, I've rec'd my go-to oil cleanser, Banila's Clean It Zero. Meanwhile, I was still going through a few water-based cleansers. After almost a year, I've found it. Skinfood's Egg White foam puts in work. I really like that the foam makes you feel like it's physically cleaning my face. It has one job and it does it well without dehydrating my skin. No scent is also a big plus :)

It has been a nightly tradition for my roommates and I to flash frying leafy greens like Chinese broccoli, Bok Choy, Yu Choy, etc. (if you've never heard of these, I got you. Here's a guide to Asian greens). It sooo good and it takes less than 15-minutes. I mean, we literally cook our veggies this way 4 - 5 times a week. Seriously, it's that good. The combination of garlic, ginger, and oyster sauce tossed in some greens is impeccable.

Rodeo Flea Market has done something that feels specifically catered to me — it fits uniquely between 2 trends that I’m all in on - wild west wear and repurposed vintage. Check out the Rodeo Web collection for some vintage workwear pieces with web & cactus embroideries, or the Rodeo Vintage collection for some vintage biker-eque longsleeve shirt frankensteins. Cop up some Rodeo Flea Market to join yb out here in the wild west.Personal fav piece <3

This was my last read of 2020, and honestly it was kind of the perfect way to finish the year. Without saying more than what you find on the back of the book - the premise is that a white family is vacationing at an airbnb in upstate NY, when they’re visited by an older black couple claiming to be the owners of the house, with stories of a blackout or something worse happening in the city. There’s lots of questions posed, from race to class and handling crises that aren’t fully understood. This book was a really fast read but had me hooked from start to finish. If you don’t mind a bit of an ambiguous ending, I highly recommend checking this out!

I'm a huge fan of super chill and mellow R&B like Tone Stith, Giveon, Daniel Caesar, The Weeknd, etc. You get the idea. RINI has been inspired by most of these artists, and it feels like all of my favorite artists mushed into one. He broke through with his title track My Favorite Clothes, but recently my friend put me onto Out of the Blue, which has been on repeat for days and weeks, please check out his music!

For all the movie buffs, I know what you’re probably thinking, and I thought the same thing. I Almost didn’t watch this because it kinda seemed to just fall into that dreaded meh “mid” category - solid cast, interesting enough premise, but not very artistic, not a wild story, nothing too deep to say: just a normal movie. In the end, I decided to throw it on, and I’m definitely glad I ended up watching. This ultimate normal movie is about some people over their heads in a not-too-spectacular crime, and that’s exactly what I loved about it, it was just refreshing. That being said - it doesn’t lack in tension, i found myself on the edge of my seat throughout. Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney bring their A games here, and deliver something really worth your time.
