On this month’s episode of “Alex’s random youtube deep dive“ - we explore… Bushtube (🤔). YouTube creators who specialize in bushcraft (essentially wilderness survival). The first “series” I followed here was from Joe Robinet. He’s a full-time “content creator” and a previous contestant in the first season of the show Alone. My favorite “series” Joe did was a multi-week long canoe and camping trek in the Canadian wilderness of the Wabakimi. He Canoes, portages, camps, and fishes for days on end, talking to the camera to keep sane and provide entertainment. Another one of my favorite series he does is his “winter bushcraft” in a fort he made somewhere deep in Canadian forests, where you see him progress a homemade “fort” over the course of several videos, from a pile of sticks and a sleeping bag all the way to a full-on house-like structure.

I’ve been anti-kindle for as long as I can remember, I have a pile of books in my office, a full bookshelf upstairs in Nicole’s office, and a few piles on our bedside tables - we love reading and love the in-hand experience of books. Because of this, I’ve always avoided Kindles. I wanted to add to my collection, build the piles and plethora of options at my fingertips to either read myself or loan out to friends. The thing is, there’s nothing more convenient than fitting any number of books into a bag on the go with the footprint of 1/10th of a normal book. My kindle even has some form of free cellular coverage - so when on a road trip nowhere near wifi, you can always download a new book from the kindle store.

Being in the northeast, the fall weather is unpredictable. My favorite combo of any season is shorts with a hoodie or a light sweater. The contrasting combo speaks for itself in the unpredictable weather. Catch me running errands, picking apples, and grabbing lunch with the combo.

You probably know Pulp, with classic albums like Different Class, but lesser known is that Pulp’s guitarist Richard Hawley has a solo career of his own - with several excellent albums. While they’re honestly all worth checking out - my favorite is definitely Coles Corner. This album feels cinematic, lush, and timeless, an experience best understood sunk into an armchair with your eyes closed...taking it in. If you like retro or chamber pop, and warm personal projects (not unlike my favorite of Tom Wait’s - Closing Time), check it out.

It took til the end of summer to find my favorite tank top but here it is - the IOAN Pique Tank. Its structure is just enough for it to not be too wimpy, but isn’t overly so. The “white” color isn’t blinding white, but a slight cream/vintage looking white. There isn’t much more to say, if you’re in the market for some tanks - these are my new go-to’s.

Maybe it’s because he was my childhood Bond, maybe it’s because it really is that good, but the Brosnan era Bond to me is perfect. It was suave and sexy, filled with superspy gadgets, and plenty of cool cars. I really enjoy them all, but GoldenEye is a classic and will live on as an icon for generations of spy films to come.

I started commuting to work again and Vox's podcasts has been keeping me busy. I love hard facts and learning why things work the way they do, and Vox's Today, Explained has been keeping me busy during my commutes. On other hand, they have another series called Unexplainable, and in contrast, they unpack unexplainable phenomenons like alzheimers and whether the poop astronauts left in space may still carry living organisms.

My sister has gotten me pretty hooked to Voluspa's reed diffusers. Out of series of essential oils, my favorite is Santal Vanille. If you're into woody and musky scents, this one is it. If you're familiar with Le Labo's Santal, it's pretty similar but with a tad more vanilla. They have a wide range of scents, and each scent comes in different vessels such as candles and room sprays as well if you're not into reed diffusers.

I've been stuck in a gin phase for over a month now and I recently had one of the best cocktails in my life there the base liquor was dill-infused gin. I tried to replicate it on my own and it turned out really well, and I've been stuck on it since. All you need to do is grab some fresh dill, and throw it into a bottle or mason jar of gin. I found that Hendricks, Botanist works well, but the classic Beefeater also works at a cheaper price, but still a great classic choice.

I've been using this moisturizer for over a year now and this has solidified its place in my skincare routine. My skin is really oily and this moisturizer does a great job of balancing things out. This is the one in things in my routine that if I am running late, this has to go on my face. I also really like this moisturizer because instead of being water based, it's cica based, which is really good for your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.
