1. coffee & a pastry [currently on a croissant kick but muffins are fire too]
2. lipsticks
3. evening with my massive anthology of sonnets
4. one soft thin blanket, two weighted blankets, & a duvet to sleep under
5. cooking chickpeas because iβm south asian & easy to please
1. Milk Tea, some suck but some r heavenly bonus treat points if its roasted milk tea with boba
2. Going to coffee/ nice dinner / theater, leaving the house, forgetting about the work i have to do, dressing up, nice people, good food i think that is the greatest joy of life
3. Pizza, every couple weeks I scarve down a whole pizza paired with a comfort show and its like a ritual after a really hard week. Its unhealthy but feels incredibly nourishing, and a bad habit
4. Napping with my cat, feels 10x more relaxing when im skipping class
5. Doing something im good at, sometimes u just need a boost in confidence
i put a soul record on (usually d'angelo or patrice rushen) and i make a pour over coffee and eat a couple madeleines, maybe a sunny egg on toast too if i'm hungrier than usual. this can be enjoyed alone or with a good friend, lover, etc. bonus points: i follow up this activity with an 11am bowl of pho with extra noodles and go for a walk in the sunlight. truly nourishing series of activities in every sense.
