chopping up a ton of stuff while drinking red wine and listening to your upsetting podcast of choice and making a big pasta that you live on for days after. also letting yourself take the time to chill out and cook something when everything else feels super overwhelming ... just a small clemency
currently making the biggest batch of vegetarian ragu ever just for myself so i can freeze it & homemade pizza for the family tonight. spending hours in the kitchen is so therapeutic especially if you're making a meal for someone else.. i want to have my own place so bad just to host dinner parties!
not really a rec nor an experience that has an end date but it is part of being alive and it does make you understand certain things about your own life.
treat your lips the same way you would treat the rest of the skin on your face! put a small amount of moisturizer on em after washing. i like to use something super gentle like an eye cream but whatever you have on hand will work. THEN, before you go out, apply the lip balm of your choice. the balm is meant to be a protective layer between your skin and the dry air. if you put lip balm on top of already dry lips it's pretty much useless bc the skin can't absorb it, which sometimes makes the problem worse. ok stay soft
