My friend Megan recommended I get an acupressure mat and my life has never been the same. I may not use it every day, but if Iām ever in a state of acute physical/mental/spiritual distress this thing always saves my life. It gets your blood and energy flowing to heal you of almost any ailment. It is my most recommended tool for healing to everyone I know and I think everyone should have one! I would get the neutral gray colored one, but I have the garish green one. Trust me itās insanely powerful and will change your life. My other favorite tool that I use everyday literally is a small wooden massage tool from Tangerine. The wood smells heavenly and itās perfect for massaging the scalp, neck, shoulders, and face. This is never not in my purse!

If you know anything about anythingā¦ you know that gut health is the ultimate wealth. It is literally the foundation of everything related to health and wellness. Mental health, physical health.. if you donāt have a robust gut microbiome you will be suffering somehow. I have probably taken upwards of 100 courses of antibiotics in my life which is not only insane but also super bad for you / your gut. Iāve been trying to go hard re-populating my gut with the good stuff and Bio-k is one of my favorite ways to do so. Itās expensive as fuck but itās super powerful and Iām addicted to the taste. I want them to sponsor me. The best flavor is the vegan blueberry made with rice.

If youāre a person on the go, always stay strapped with a purse treat. There will always be a moment where you need to lift your spirits or raise your energy levels. Itās also nice to have something you can share with other people that sparks joy. Iām trying really hard to work on my sugar addiction but the purse treat is something I canāt really give up. Iām like the epitome of that meme thatās like āif I donāt have a yummy treat every couple of hours my condition worsensā lol. My go-to treats are dark choc coconut bars, justinās pb cups, & barnana dark choc covered bananas š

If I want to get really relaxed or need to hard-reset my energy I love to listen to tapes in the bath. Tapes are my favorite audio format other than CD because the vibrations hit in such a physical way. When youāre in the bath it gives the sound perfect reverb, and the tape warble seems to bounce off of the steam in the air.. it feels like magic. My favorite tape is the Emma Kirkby Collection, which I found in my parents basement. Itās a collection of stunning baroque & medieval music. When Columba Aspexit by Hildegard Von Bingen comes on I am possessed. I couldnāt find this release on any streaming services in the US so I bought the CD on eBay and (allegedly) made a rip to share the magic with my friends (or anyone who asks ;)... ). I also add Dr. Singhaās mustard bath to the mix if I really want to levitate.

Everywhere I go Iām looking for treasure. Sometimes it's just a nice looking rock or radiant shell, other times I find a gold chain or wad of cash on the sidewalk. I have always had a collectors spirit and canāt help but to keep my eyes peeled at all moments for something shiny or blessed. You can get so much joy and life force from charmed objects. I can see myself ending up as the cliche eccentric person on the beach with the metal detector looking for precious objects in the sand. Your trash is probably my treasure. For example, I have a beautiful blue plastic bottle I have kept for 5-6 years and have brought all around the world with me.

When I was in my late teens / early 20ās I had perfect skin and liked to flippantly claim my secret was ānot washing my face.ā While that didnāt age well (lol), thereās definitely something to leaving your skin alone as much as possible and treating it with gentle natural products. I am obsessed with this 100% natural and beyond organic skin care company called Living Libations.Ā It has the best hippie graphic design and packaging I have ever seen, and some of the best smelling products ever. My favorite products are the Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, the Scalp Tonic, the Ozonated Dew Dab, and the oral care products.

Superiority Burger is the best restaurant in New York City. It has a passionate and punk spirit, and their flavors are unmatched. Something about the food and the ethos reminds me of the food I grew up eating in the Bay Area. Creative, seasonal, fresh as fuckā¦ itās very grounded and connected to the source but still playful. You can literally taste the magic! Iāve been going there so long and so often that Iāve become a known regular and am now friends with the iconic owner Brooks. I have been in spiritual pain while theyāve been on hiatus for the last few months preparing to re-open in the old Odessa diner space. When they finally open you will probably find me and Nancy there 5 days out of the week (if not 7ā¦lol). See you there! P.S. Their cookbook also has the worldās best banana bread recipe- TRUST ME.
