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

I never used to think I had trouble doing things alone in public. Seeing movies alone? Easy. Going to museum alone? Perfect. Seeing the doctor alone( for a cold)? Done. But as I started drinking and have gone to a few bars w friends, I can't really bring myself to go alone when I wanted to go. Even to a place I have had good experience with friends. I have also been thinking about going to the gym alone, but it feels also too intimidating too

So many people are so scared to do things on their own, but it can be so fun and liberating! I’m my own favorite travel partner. You can try fun places without worrying about what someone else is in the mood for, meet so many people, people watch, read, visit museums Or other stops and take all the time you want, etc. I think a lot of people care too much about what others think when they’re seen doing something or dining alone, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Starting out, go to a restaurant that has a bar and sit at the bar, you can enjoy your food and maybe a drink, if you get anxious about people talking to you or aren’t having fun people watching, take up watching the sports on the tv to look occupied! Or maybe your solo outing could first be taking yourself on a museum date and getting to spend as much time as you want in each exhibit.

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.

I spent MANY years hunting for the perfect sunscreen-scented perfume and this is the one to beat. I’ve tried everything there is– Margiela Beach Walk is nice but it has too much of a day-spa vibe, Vacation doesn’t last long enough and is too banana-heavy, and the CDG one is too gimmicky and not very wearable. Beach is that sharp, chemical, plasticky, Coppertone public waterpark smell that makes every single day feel like it might be the most perfect day of the entire summer. I spray it on myself on days where I feel like Chicago winter might actually kill me and it always fixes my mood
