When I was in my late teens / early 20’s I had perfect skin and liked to flippantly claim my secret was “not washing my face.” While that didn’t age well (lol), there’s definitely something to leaving your skin alone as much as possible and treating it with gentle natural products. I am obsessed with this 100% natural and beyond organic skin care company called Living Libations. It has the best hippie graphic design and packaging I have ever seen, and some of the best smelling products ever. My favorite products are the Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, the Scalp Tonic, the Ozonated Dew Dab, and the oral care products.

Taking care of my skin has boosted my confidence more than anything ever has. Right now my nighttime routine is wash my face with Bobbi Brown soothing cleansing oil, curolgy, retinal, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, the ole henrikson undereye cream, and triple antibiotic ointment. My morning routine is washing my face with Sonya Dakar gentle facial milk cleanser, spray my face with Osea sea mineral mist, Osea hyaluronic sea serum, Sonya Dakar nano hydrator moisturizer and Sonya Dakar SPF 30. If I go outside a lot I use 50 spf. I had cystic acne when I was younger and Curology really changed my skin. It completely cleared it up. I’m so grateful for it. When I was younger I tried absolutely everything. Salt water, mouth wash, that nuetrogena face wash with the micro plastics in it. Nothing really worked until Curology. I also take Tri-Sprintec birth control because it is the most effective at clearing your skin. If I have a break out I take Doxycycline which is an antibiotic that stops acne from forming. It’s been a lot of work and not easy but I’m so happy I did it. I love face masks too. My favorite is Blue Tansy from Herbivore. It’s a nice exfoliator that really changes your skin. I notice a big difference with it. I also love sheet masks. Innis Free has my favorites. They just feel so effective to me. A nice evening to me is staying in and taking care of my skin. I love to steam my face, do an exfoliating face mask, then a pore cleaning one and then a moisturizing one. Then I do an eye mask and all of my skincare steps. It feels so good and I look amazing when I wake up.

This recommendation is just an umbrella to tell you about all the things I use in the hopes that it will keep my skin looking nubile dewy and fresh. I'm a woman who dates younger men, so I’ve got to keep the elasticity of my face tight, baby! It's a nightmare out there! So here are some things that make me feel like I have some control over the inevitable deterioration of my face and body.The following recommendations are for exfoliating, moisturizing, and the regeneration of collagen: Good Genes by Sunday Riley, Omnilux red light collagen producing face mask. This mask is terrifying. This shit will scare away any person you're dating. Which might be a good thing. If they can’t handle you at your worst, they don't deserve you at your… zzzzzz. Collagen powder in my smoothies. I met a 70 year old woman with perfect GLOWING skin, barely a wrinkle and she attributed it all to daily collagen powder. Everyday Oil - smells incredible and I truly believe it is a magic potion that makes everything better. Use it all over your body. Including your face, Epsom salt baths (good for relieving water retention and also nice for sore muscles). I’ll pour 3 pounds of epsom salt, as well as Shea Butter and Almond scented bubble bath, and luxuriate in a bath for LITERALLY (and I’m using the word ‘literally’ correctly) for 3 hours. Every man I’ve EVER been naked with says I have the softest skin because of it. They can’t ALL be lying. Actually, I take that back. They could be.

Superiority Burger is the best restaurant in New York City. It has a passionate and punk spirit, and their flavors are unmatched. Something about the food and the ethos reminds me of the food I grew up eating in the Bay Area. Creative, seasonal, fresh as fuck… it’s very grounded and connected to the source but still playful. You can literally taste the magic! I’ve been going there so long and so often that I’ve become a known regular and am now friends with the iconic owner Brooks. I have been in spiritual pain while they’ve been on hiatus for the last few months preparing to re-open in the old Odessa diner space. When they finally open you will probably find me and Nancy there 5 days out of the week (if not 7…lol). See you there! P.S. Their cookbook also has the world’s best banana bread recipe- TRUST ME.

Everywhere I go I’m looking for treasure. Sometimes it's just a nice looking rock or radiant shell, other times I find a gold chain or wad of cash on the sidewalk. I have always had a collectors spirit and can’t help but to keep my eyes peeled at all moments for something shiny or blessed. You can get so much joy and life force from charmed objects. I can see myself ending up as the cliche eccentric person on the beach with the metal detector looking for precious objects in the sand. Your trash is probably my treasure. For example, I have a beautiful blue plastic bottle I have kept for 5-6 years and have brought all around the world with me.

Best underwear ever. 100% organic cotton and super soft. Understated but still sexy. I love the string bikini. I’m trying to replace all of my underwear and most of my clothes with natural fibers.
