❣️Ins
Boring meals/leftovers delight (less time fussing over the stove)
Underwire bras
Yuzu-flavoured everything
Jewellery with a history
Dark painted interiors
Bare nails (preferably bitten, shows character)
Self-publishing
Re-reading books you love and ignoring TBR lists
On that note, not reading books you’re “supposed to” have read
Too many coffees (we’ve been playing it too safe, people. Let your heart remind you it exists, like a pitter patter of rain inside your chest.)
🗑️Outs Kitten heels Long manicures Natural deodorant Linen sheets (cotton percale all day) Wolf cuts Pay-in-4 - it’s a money trap, friends. Save your coins! By the time you’ve saved up the $, you might not want it. Dogs with backpacks (smelling treats but not being able to access them is a special kind of torture) Carrying everything you need (then you miss out on the beauty of that spontaneous Duane Reade trip where you leave with mint-flavoured toothpicks and a bag of gummies! What were you there for again??)

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

🏮Yes, it’s 5 hours without an intermission. I saw it in Melbourne in 2013 and went back to see it again in the same run. It’s been over 10 years (wowwie!) and I can’t think of another piece of art that has imprinted on my imagination the way that performance did. I was also eighteen years old and green and wide-eyed! What a time that was.

⚪I have to start off this recommendation with an apology, as for all your Northern Hemisphere-based folks wont be able to find this easily as I stock up when I go home to Australia. BUT, in all my years of hunting for the perfect white t-shirt that hangs just right, I have found my holy grail. Specifically, the Boody men’s crew neck t-shirt (NOT the new “classic” which is mostly viscose, ew), bit the original which is 95% bamboo. I buy them in a Small and they are the perfect oversized t-shirt. Buttery soft, expensive-looking and, most importantly, stay looking fresh after they’ve tumbled about in a washing machine. I’m hoarding a few!

☁️No frills, no expensive subscriptions, just a basic app that occasionally crashes (bless) with a limited number of meditations guaranteed to lull you to sleep. Personally, endless choice is the last thing I want when I'm trying to reach the Land of Nod. Give me the same sweet Englishman telling me how to dial down each of my senses and I'll fall asleep every time. They also have guided meditations for daytime situations if that's your thing, but I'm a "meditate till my earbuds fall out in the dark" kind of gal.
