One of my besties manages this place so I've had the pleasure of tasting nearly every cocktail on the menu... and THIS is the one bitch. Chicago girls tune in:
Gin (trust me...), grapefruit, prickly pear and lime. Now CHECK that. Delicious and refreshing in all seasons

Sparkly, refreshing, NA, just the right amount of flavor. Angostura bitters preferred. The perfect and chic club drink

My best friend went through bartending school this past summer and introduced me to some of the most incredible gin drinks.
I realized that gin, which I previously regarded as piney and useless, was incredibly versatile. Gin can be lemony! Gin can be floral! Gin can be in a martini with giant stuffed olives!
Gin and honey! Gin and curry oil (you wouldn’t believe it until you tried it) Gin and orange!
Gin can be anything, and so can you!
This is all applicable to mocktails too, if you have access to a nice faux gin (I’m all about mocktails)
Wooooooooo!

I don't mean going to get groceries or Starbucks or something. I mean a bar or a movie or a diner-- places where you're expected to have company. Can either highlight some areas you need to improve psychologically or can make you feel totally sublime and alive

People underestimate the power of the olfactory when it comes to coaxing yourself to sleep. Melatonin has just given me schizo dreams so I started spritzing myself with a few calming fragrances right before bed and it really changed everything.
Not only is it a totally decadent and regal thing to do, it really does help you go to sleep. I go for Le Labo Ylang if I'm feeling really bougie but otherwise I'll do a dupe of Tom Ford Ombré Leather or Lust by Lush.
Speaking of Lush, solid perfumes are EXCELLENT for this as they smell great, last a long time, and it can take years to run out.

I've become a pretty intense VHS collector over the last year and one of the great joys of this new hobby has been all of the good people online selling fanmade tapes of contemporary movies. They take the graphic design for the packaging VERY seriously and it's such a unique and lovingly made novelty item to have in your house. Plus they're actually playable and watching some straight-to-Netflix type shit with VHS grain makes you feel like you've stepped through a portal to another world. I think the hyperrealness of 4K HD we're all subject to is evil and everyone should have a VCR.
