I have long ridden extremely hard for Muji's 0.38mm gel pens, which I used to have relatives in other countries send to me before Muji expanded into the US. But since I'm a sucker for an ultra-fine-tipped pen, I knew I had to try Sharpie's version, and now, I think I'm a convert. These write even more smoothly, no matter how I have the pen angled, and the gel is really black and doesn't smudge. Plus, since they're retractable, I no longer have to worry about losing all my pen caps at the bottom of my bag.

๐I need lots of pens on hand. It writes smooth and the black ink looks darker than the Pilot G2. Theyโre cheap enough that I donโt feel bad if I lose them, but they still feel nicer than most other pens.

As a lefty it is critically important that I find a balance between inkiness and non-smudginess in a pen. Due to this I have tried many pens and I always come back to the sharpie s-gel pen. It has the perfect inkiness that I like and it does NOT smudge when I put my hand over it. Comes in many a colours and quite affordable. I have used previously for exams and would recommend it to someone who fits this niche criteria.

๐จAs someone who works in food media, I watch a lot of cooking videos. As much as I love instructional videos with charming hosts, that's not what I watch to chill my brain out. Instead, and because I am obsessed with food, I watch quiet cooking videos on YouTube that one might even call cooking ASMR. They generally show someone cooking a dish with little to no background music or narration; instead, you see beautiful food and hear pleasant sizzle sounds or the gentle scraping of a wooden spoon. My favorite channels are ๊ฟํคhoneykki and yedy101, whose delightfully cross-eyed cat usually makes an appearance in the background.

๐Having very short hair has made me more aware than ever about the condition of my scalp since, well, you can see it. I like using a shampoo that has peppermint and tea tree oil and then using a silicone scalp brush to massage and lightly exfoliate my head. It gives me a quick moment to relax, but more importantly, it keeps me from worrying about the very gross but real possibility of having a dry, flaky scalp.

๐Is it ridiculous to carry my keys on a titanium key ring when carabiners cost a dollar? Yes! Does it make me feel fancy even when I'm making an emergency run to the bodega for toilet paper? Definitely. I love the sleek shape of this key clip and the fact that it will outlive me, plus it doubles as a bottle opener.
