Are you sick? No you're not. Not if you take whatever magical mystery powder that makes up Lemsip. I don't know why it works, or why you can't buy it anywhere that isn't a commonwealth country, but I hoard it like there's no tomorrow. Fill my suitcases with it. Amazing. (You genuinely forget you're sick until it wears off a few hours later, so use it strategically.) (Only Lemsip Max holds this power).

These little black elderberry tablets have changed my life. You start taking them when you might be getting sick or maybe your friend is sick, whatever. I used to get sick like 3 to 4 times a year and I havenāt been sick a single little time this year since I started taking these. Homeopathic too! Trust in Sambucol.

I have been passionate about this on Twitter and I hope it is helping people. This will keep you from getting sick, or if you are sick it will help you recover faster. It comes in two forms: capsules and tablets. The capsules are easier to take, the tablets are horse pills that taste absolutely awful, but they work better. My hardcore regime is 6 tablets 3x a day if I am trying to prevent being sick or if I am sick. For more casual maintenance you can take ~3 to 6 per day. I always bring them on international trips to help with jetlag and protect my immune system. My other travel secret is nuun caffeinated electrolyte tablets - the product is called sport+ caffeine. It's for athletes but I find it so helpful for travel and being in a hotel, it's so convenient to just drop a tab into a glass of water. The hydration from the electrolytes is really helpful for jet lag and I like easy access to caffeine. One of my pet peeves is being away from home and having to get dressed to go out for a cup of coffee or tea, I like to enjoy these things in bed in private - I don't want to see anyone. The nuun tablets are a way to deal with that if there is no coffee maker in the room, although almost all hotels will have a hot water kettle and even if it's not in the room you can usually request it. I travel with my own tea for this reason. I switch between Harney & Sons Paris tea and Mariage FrĆØres Marco Polo because you can get both sachets - and you donāt need a mug to brew tea, you can pour hot water into a glass from the bathroom and it's better anyway because you can see the color of the tea and get the strength just right. One more thought on the nuun tablets - they are amazing for a hangover but i donāt drink anymore so thankfully I no longer have to worry about that.Ā If want to feel āfestiveā my favorite n/a beer is the pale partake its only 10 calories and not sweet, I just wish they would change the name because itās really embarrassing and dumb.

A god-damn majestic oasis. Itās a privately owned public park with a 25 foot waterfall. Go get a bagel or three (not a bagel sandwich, thatās a whole other post) from Ess-a-bagel and chomp on āem in the cool shade while you watch people bliss out staring at the waterfall.

At the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania (which is the best museum hands down anyway) there's an ongoing piece called "4pm" where composer Dean Stevenson works until 4pm everyday composing a new song. No matter what, a string quartet comes in at 4pm to play what he's made that day. His journal on the work is wild. Best current artist descent into madness.

Whoa. My love for this Kentucky country metal melodrama performer has recently transformed from ironic to unconditional. Thereās a song about capital punishment called āKentucky Friedā but for seasonal vibes, listen to āsilent lullabyā (but why does she look like a long-ass Parmigianino baby?)
