eat lunch at burma superstar, go to green apple books, peek ur head into some markets. its nice and flat so it's easy to walk up and down there for a few hours
middle child, kalaya, suraya, angelo's, sampan, tabachoy, lmno, suya suya - u will eat the best meals of ur life. also the art museum is pay what u can on fridays and they have live music & drinks :-) don't forget to run up the steps !
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
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
