💅
I’m the worst at letting my nails dry and avoiding mess ups, especially after accidentally putting too thick of a layer on/not letting the previous layer dry completely before applying.
If i say “i’m going to spend the next HOUR solely focusing on my nails”, i feel less rushed by my brain and am less prone to errors. And also have time to fix accordingly without freaking out. It also usually takes less than an hour.
This is my current color, i painted them yesterday. I thought it was black until i put it on (actually a deep wine)

💅It’s a little thing that makes me feel put together and since it’s not something I have to do for hygiene purposes it feels extra special. And having to sit to wait for them to dry really makes me slow down.

😃it makes me feel like i’m taking care of myself (even when i’m not). and it saves me money. just did a fresh coat, and now i’m schedule sending a million emails while they dry. so it’s also holding me accountable

💅I like looking down at my cute nails and thinking “I did that!”
Pros- way cheaper than a salon, less damaging (no dremmel sanding off my nail bed or UV lights), easy to fix if a nail breaks or chips, you can get really good at it, you can always change up your look on the fly, and you can decide what brands/ products you use.
Cons- my office smells like nail polish/ nail polish remover for a little bit. Have to be patient and let them dry.

📜I’m not off streaming, but these are some things I do to feel the fun in movies/music again and diverge. I’ve always kinda been a CD supremacist and saved/kept buying them, it’s never too late to start, for any medium!
- investing in some equipment like DVD, CD, cassette, etc players if you don’t have the old ones to dig out, or they’re too messed up. A decent DVD player is super inexpensive these days, avoid internet nostalgia up-sellers
- going to any random thrift store, including the “bad ones”, and really going through their book/CD/DVD inventory THOROUGHLY. Pick up what looks interesting, it’s likely something you already have in your digital library will be there for cheap and to own forever.
- patronizing remaining movie stores, they can be few and far between but the people who run them are usually very passionate about film. If you have one within a reasonable distance from you, it feels great to take a DVD back they recommended you or a familiar classic. Going to the movie store can be so fun and is something we’ve been deprived of since DVD’s decline. Same for music shops
- exploring obsolete mediums, if you end up getting a VCR you can find tapes for super duper cheap and watch a lot of movies and expand your library fast!
- movie or music or medium specific swaps if they’re in ur area, or trade with fellow enthusiasts anywhere you can find them, even online movie clubs

I went to an incense making class earlier this year for my birthday, it’s super easy and makko powder is basically the ONLY thing you need to buy to make incense at home. It‘s pretty cheap and lasts a while, you can get it on amazon.
All you need to make incense is equal parts makko powder, your dried+pulverized herbs/flowers/etc, and water (give or take on the water, use your intuition). And boom, you have incense “dough” that you can now shape into cones, dry, and burn. I’ve been making incense with what I can find around me, natives and invasive plants. It’s awesome and I totally recommend it. Making incense makes me feel like the computer energy is leaving my body.

He passed in May, he was 11 years old. His name is Bear/Tarzan. It broke me. I always thought this was one of my favorite pictures of him, I’m really glad I had it saved somewhere else because I took it a while back. I was so happy to find it I cried. I want to get this picture tattooed one day. I miss my big gorgeous angel boy so so so much. <3
