I have extremely dry cuticles and this is the only stuff I’ve tried that works. It’s very old school. The packaging is also dope. My grandma used to it and so does my mom (warning: it does have a very old timey grandma-type fragrance). The smell gives me an instant sense memory of my mom putting it on her cuticles, elbows, and feet on a Sunday night while watching the classic British soap opera Eastenders. :)

When I was a kid there was this Rosebud Lip and Hand Salve that seemed really really classy. It was in a vintage looking tin. While that rosebud salve is absolutely divine, some of its mystique has faded into the oblivion of my childhood. However, Vaseline has now put out a rose flavored vaseline in a mini vaseline box. It smells deeply erotic. And you have to plunge your finger into this rose flavor goop to apply directly onto your face. Sensuality! The rose fragrance is really well synthesized. It whisks you away to working class glamor like the 20s or something…. If you get it you get it- if you don’t you don’t!!!!!!Some French guy once told me rose scented stuff smells like bathroom cleaner. He couldn’t be more wrong. Fragrance is classically one of the many French/ American divides. The fact is in America, we are overwhelmed with complicated fragrances for cleaning products, candles, and lip balms. Were inundated with Dr Pepper flavors , Coconut passion, Strawberry Attitudes… Vaseline is presupposing and imagining a land far far ago… where choices were specific, simple and deeply erotic.

winter to me tastes like carmex classic medicated lip balm & sunscreen. takes me back to high School when I wore it nonstop. Maybe the lowest years of my life but it’s nice to connect to that me I was before. & this shit literally cures chapped lips in like minutes ill never use anything else. I don’t like flavors either so this one specifically rlly does it for me. its got this kind of grandmotherly, earthy camphor tree scent which i love

Lowkey have learned shitloads from this channel. It took me a while to get used to this guys grating YouTube announcer type voice and dad jokes but now I find it incredibly soothing. I am 100% a sucker for a cheesy youtube history video, museum, anything like that. Weird History is my go-to on tour, before bed, etc. Also they have another channel called Weird History Food which is very informative and entertaining. If i didn’t make it as a musician I would totally be producing content like this for a living. It rocks.

Irish hard shoe dancing is one of the most metal, hardcore things I have ever witnessed or attempted to do in my life. The shoes are also called “heavy shoes” which is fire. The sound is very satisfying to me in an ASMR way. I’m obsessed with the stoicism that accompanies the dance, specifically the way the arms are held completely straight at your sides. I highly recommend taking an Irish dance class (they have in most cities). It is an insane cardio workout (very sweaty) and extremely enjoyable. I want to see people doing it at my shows.

It’s been really fun not being on social media that much recently. Especially when working on new music, I’ve found it super helpful to unplug for long periods of time. As cliche as it is, sometime last year I finally started understanding what people meant by the wave of anxiety and decrease in self worth that hits you when you open an app like instagram. It’s nice to check in and see what my friends are doing, but I’ve really tried to cut off that feeling of needing to stay constantly ‘up to date’ with everything going on all the time. Same goes for news. For the first time since college really i’ve started trying to read books again lmao. I know this one seems kind of basic, but for anyone feeling like they’re needing some encouragement to feel like it’s okay to unplug, go for it.
