Since I was a kid in my brother’s hand-me-down cargo shorts just playing and climbing and tying and whittling in the forest in Germany, I’ve always loved having everything you could possibly need for a myriad of hyper specific purposes on your person. My friends call me Tactical Boy. It feels very important and satisfying to have the right tools for any job. Victorinox is the golden standard; we have them to thank for the Swiss Army Knife. Then they decided to give usa version that you can slip in your wallet or the tiniest of clutches, and is TSA friendly. As an adult, the ability to file and open and tighten and pluck and fix and jot and trim and pin all from this card has saved many a moment, from fashion weeks to tour dates to camping trips.

I customized mine by Engraving my last name with a soldering iron and gold paint and adding a Michelin Man keychain. 33 functions. Using it makes mundane everyday activities more fun.

I try to keep a knife on me at all times… People like to make fun of it but everyone who has spent any time w me has found themselves needing it at some point. Shyan has caught me without one a few times recently and he freaks out every time. Be an adult, start carrying your own. This is the knife I carry when I’m at the shop… My buddy Fritz got me hooked. No other utility knife opens easily with one hand.

anytime I’m feeling especially good, I’ve been walking. All day long I’m just going for a walk

~So I’ve gotten into taking baths. I can’t explain it but it feels more analog. I used to think of it as a more time consuming option but now I feel it’s actually more efficient. The pressure of designating time for it to be both functional and experiential leads to letting myself get bored, which brings about a clear but gentle conclusion. Boredom is a luxury. I used to think new thoughts so often out of boredom, but now it feels like I’m trying to be productive or I’ve left my body entirely, so I’ve been leaning in to get back to active boredom. There are plenty of ways to make it an experience. The only time I’ll drink ice in a drink is in a bath, because effectively you’re already a soup. So drinking la croix or gatorade on ice in the bath is a crazy experience to feel your guts being all cold and your skin being warm. A good way to get back into my body is to make it the intersection of polarizing temperatures. I also love the idea of robes but I can’t figure out when I’m meant to wear one, and the best I can tell is around bathtime. I love putting the Dr Teals Lavender salts right under the faucet because it either dissolves them or disperses them from jump as it’s filling, and then the Almond Cleansing Oil from Trader Joes is a moisturizing option for your cleansing tasks that take place as you’re brining your body in salt.
