(This recommendation is to serve concurrently with the Eno diary.) If the Eno diary has transcended me to new levels of poise, virtue, and duty, then the Smythson has launched me into a world of interminable productivity. To see all the things I must do, delicately noted on gilt-edged featherlight paper— how could I not succeed in these tasks? I cannot let this gorgeous notebook down.They make great gifts. A bit of a splurge, but if you really love someone and want to see them succeed then you’ll make it work. You will pay extra to personalize the cover with both their initials and zodiac motif. I use the Chelsea.

My sapphire moleskin has been the home to some of my favorite essays, poems, and late-night thoughts. It’s small enough to fit in my blazer pocket and an absolute necessity at Sunday morning coffee. A perfect journal is priceless for all over-thinking creatives, like myself, who need a place to house their misc thoughts and feelings. I actually wrote ‘Goose Eggs’ in a series of blue moleskins.

disclaimer: I haven’t been to this store bec I didn’t know of its existence when I went to Paris before, but I’ve been following their account for a while now. (Photo from their instagram)
getting a personalized journal from this store is on my bucketlist! I love all the options for the inserts and notebooks. But I especially like how you can customize the leather, emboss a quote or mantra, and choose your own accessories. You can decide what use you want from it, and I feel like it grows with you as you go through life.
If you end up getting one, I’ll truly be jealous (in the best way possible)

a commercial pilot homie who mostly does transoceanic long-hauls put me onto this one. it’s a great icebreaker and can lead to some far out places, but u gotta have an open mind. if u get all pissy about political crap ur gonna have a hard time with this one. U gotta accept ppl as they are

Sounds weird but it’s pretty straightforward. Lightly tap the fuselage as you board the plane. I was taught to always do this as a gesture of goodwill and respect for the aircraft. My grandfather was an airman who spent much of his time in the Far East and I think the cultural affinity for honor respect etc crap like that really sat with him
anyway Ive had ppl tell me this made them not only feel nice, but safer too. PMA baby (Positive mental attitude)

Overnight flights to London suck bad cuz it’s hard to sleep on the plane, eastbound means a short flight, and you arrive all disoriented, in pain, looking like dogshit. maybe even in a state of delirium cuz you’re all tyty. And it’s usually ass early that you’re landing. Can’t even check into a hotel for like 6 more hours!! What if i told u it doesn’t have to be this way?
Virgin Atlantic (the grooviest airline) operates an 8am out of Kennedy, with wheels down in Heathrow happening around 8pm local time. Yea, u gotta drag your ass up at around 4 or 5am EST, but just pretend you’re on london time already because ur about to fuckin be!
You spend the entire flight luxuriating in your own row, free from the hell of other people. upon arrival, you dip outta Heathrow, drop your shit wherever, and go party with yer mates. Fall asleep anywhere between 10pm-4am depending on what kinda night u want. then u wake up fresh as a fkn 🌼 on local time with no jet lag. Look at the pic man. when did u last see a flight that empty ?
