I started working in person for a magazine called sabukaru in Tokyo as the head music writer!! It was so much fun to see old friends and checkout the southern parts of Japan. Nature is pretty neat.

My photo will fail to do it justice.
I have always loved this city, and this week (I believe my 12th visit here?) only added fuel to that fire.
Whether it's hanging with my people here
The food (can't recommend Kyube enough -- I've posted about it here before)
The sheer volume of amazing record stores throughout the city
Or little back alleyways that yield surprises, mom and pop shops you've never known about
Or the city's parks which are so serene
Tokyo in the fall is like NYC in the fall
One of the world's best places
Showing her best side during the finest time of year.

When I feel scared or anxious, wow... Breathing.
Sleeping is a solid second place.

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200โฐ F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

*Native* Seed B*mbs.
The local wildlife will love you for it.
TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry.
Long form:
Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost.
Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency.
Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture.
Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant.
Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
