I can't fall asleep in a quiet room. I created a customized mix on this app that I lovingly titled Shut Up Mix. It includes the sounds of thunder, waterfalls, rain, a fireplace, and deep brown noise. This perfect blend of soothing sounds is like a calm hug as I drift into dreamland. This plus my silk sleep mask and I'm all set for a good night's rest.

For those who never feel fully rested in the morning:
Apparently, thereās a lot of ways to breathe wrong and youāre doing them all while you sleep. Sometimes itās because of you and other times itās because of your environment or maybe itās both but if youāre not getting enough air you will get low quality sleepā¹ļø.
If you wake up feeling congested, a couple of things that really help me are a humidifier (love this one for travel also) and an air purifier (super quiet).
For those who have a hard time falling asleep:
- It feels like you either love melatonin or you hate it, I happen to love it. Finding your dosage is key tho and that might take some experimenting. I started too big and slept like a rock but felt super groggy waking up!!
- this is annoying but going to bed at the same time every night is so helpful. Iām sorry!! I want to be too cool for school also but having a strict bedtime will change your life for the better
For brains that wonāt shut off:
Ok here is my trick to falling asleep when my brain is too loud (patent pending):
Step one: play a podcast or anything where people are speaking but set the volume low enough that you canāt quite hear what theyāre saying
Step two: make overthinking work in your favor by focusing on your train of thought and tuning out the podcast noise. I think this works because tuning out external sounds is something that happens naturally as you fall asleep.
Ok hope that helps, sweet dreams! š

- green noise. objectively better than any other noise. just knocks me out, plus gives you much deeper sleep. hereās my favourite.
- lectures on something youāre not even remotely interested in. for me itās physics.
- asmr ?? i dunno, i like it.
- breathing fresh air. nothing like a bit of fresh air for a city person. weāre all oxygen deficient.
- meditation. i love Medito (itās on appstore and google play) meditations.
not sleeping sucks, hope you get better soon!

I make photo albums of the polaroids I take of my friends, work, and travels. I love having a physical object that can bring back so many memories. Like many, reading the book The Artist's WayĀ helped me find ways to connect to myself and my art. I adopted the practice of "Morning Pages" which is writing three pages in a journal stream of consciousness style to empty your mind of cluttered thoughts before you get into your day. This has helped my anxiety levels and enhanced my focus so much. I love reading them back after enough time has passed to reflect on what has worried me and remind myself that all things must pass.

There is no shame in choosing to end a pregnancy for any reason. I ended one of my own when I was 19 because I was not ready to have a child. It wasnāt a big deal. I have never regretted my decision and feel so grateful to have received safe and affordable care. This level of healthcare should be available for anyone choosing to have an abortion. Donating to abortionfunds.org is a critical way to redistribute your funds if you find yourself lucky enough to have extra income.

My favorite way to achieve a sunkissed glow. IĀ love to apply this to my collarbones and shoulders for an extra bronzed appearance. This is the best product I have found that allows me to look like I have been outside without looking like I rubbed brown stuff all over myself. My summer staple.
