I’ll wear them until they are just raggedy scraps of leather hanging off my feet. I usually go for a sturdy boot situation—right now it’s the R.M Williams Craftsman boot—I’ll wear them to traipse through a bog one day and to a wedding the next.

Every day wear. Like a torture machine when you’re breaking it in, but after, you can sleep in them.
These things can take a beating and they’re meant to. No reason to wear anything else. Dress them up, dress them down, do yard work, do no work, sit at home, etc.
I love these boots so much.
You have to apply leather conditioner every month or so with horse hair brush, and brush dirt off every day. Like a ritual.
Make sure to wear long, thick sock. Or you’ll get mad blisters.

with whom I have a very close r’ship. Nothing chic-er than taking your worn-in leather boots to be re-soled! Look after your things and they’ll look after you.

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼

Cleanliness is godliness ! ESP when that cleanliness is given to you by 20,000 year old water from deep inside our earth. I have a whole map saved on my phone of secret and not-so-secret hot springs all over the USA and Europe. Happiest when dunked in hot water (*see spas, above)

For ages, Wales was deeply uncool to anyone who wasn’t Welsh. But it’s where paganism started! Druids, mountains, forests, swamps, meadows, castles, ruins! But I’m not just proud of Wales and its bucolic history, it’s got a good/progressive future, too, as one of the world’s fastest growing renewable energy markets, as a major contributor to the world’s seaweed (diet of the future) economy, and over 32% of the landmass designated as conservation zone to protect wildlife and habitats 🌿Although in a fuck, marry, kill scenario, I’d prob marry Wales but I would def fuck Japan
