Specifically Mugicha from ITO EN. This one is in progress, but fingers crossed. My psychoanalyst said I needed to replace vaping with something else or quitting would be unsuccessful. Enter Japanese Barley Tea. It is caffeine free so I am slamming it morning, noon and night. It helps regulate digestion and sleep (contains fiber + melatonin) - 2 things that get funky when I have tried to quit nicotine in the past. My analyst also thinks the vape satisfies some sort of oral-to-phallus fixation I have (t-y freud). Unfortunately drinking barley tea does not replicate this, but it does address oral fixation in other ways.

My mom used to make it growing up (but you can also get it prepackaged), and I think I’ve decided it’s my most favorite flavor in the world… No, it does not taste like green tea or black tea! Honestly, you’re either going to have it and just be like “yeah, that’s tea” or it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I’ve only met one person ever who was equally as obsessed with it as me (a friend’s ex-boyfriend, hope he is well). You can drink it cold or hot :)

Peppermint for tummy aches of course. Rhododendron Adamii + Elderflower for colds apparently. Growing up I had peppermint tea for stomach aches so often that I now associate it with stomach pain and can’t drink it for pleasure at all. I told my father I was starting to get stuffy and achey and he brought some teas. I have turned a corner and am fighting off the infection. I know I mention Ttbeoki often but this tea tasted and smelled exactly like my woodear ttbeoki from last week. It is bizarre how much it tastes like sweetened fermented chili paste but I still found it incredibly comforting, especially lightly sweetened with agave.

Slap some on a piece of matzo with cucumber and a smear of yellow mustard. Surely I did not invent this combo, but it is divine and a top tier snack / light meal.

Last year, I fucked up my skin barrier by using too many expensive products that contain 7000 ingredients. Had to cease all skincare except for face wash and moisturizer - CeraVe healed me (plus a bunch of steroid creams). When I was finally able to introduce products back into the routine, my derm recommended this retinol because it is chill and has few ingredients. Works super well & does not irritate my skin at all.
