I’m reluctant to make a skincare recommendation cuz skincare is so boring to read about, so I’ll try to keep it concise: This stuff is wild. It requires no water (unusual for a cleanser!) You just squirt a load onto your fingers, apply to the face, and gently pat it off. Or aggressively rub it off. It’s really as you wish :)

Okay, so if you haven’t heard of double-cleansing and you want to take better care of your skin, I highly recommend reading up on it. It’s essential the idea of first cleansing your skin with an oil cleanser to pick up any oil-based dirt off your face, then following up with a water-based oil to remove whatever is left. Ever since I started this ritual, ya boy has been glowin’. I’ve tried a few oil-based cleansers, but this one is my go-to because it gets the job done without making my face feel weird, and leaves it well hydrated. And I think the reviews speak for itself since it can be used on any skin type.

thank god for this beautiful liquid gold…
i am kind of lazy and cannot bother with an 8 step skincare regimen so its this, and an oil cleanser (preferably from a japanese brand) and a regular gentle cleanser (mine is la roche) and a moisturizer (cerave) please do not come for me!

SISH Beauty In-Shower Facial Treatment
A new recommendation, but I'm loving how lightly exfoliating, deeply cleansing, and not stripping it is. It's a solid product, and it's not an everyday thing, but I can't scrub everyday anyways. It's vegan, gluten free, cruelty free, pregnancy safe and does not contain any harmful chemicals, parabens, or aluminum compounds.
Eau Thermale Avène Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser
If I'm wearing more face makeup or a heavier eye look and I need to get it all off without ripping a layer of skin off in the process, this is the stuff. Best removed with a warm washcloth and some steam, in my opinion.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O
Yeah yeah, sometimes fancy water is worth it, and I think this is one of those times. It's fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free, and doesn't make my skin more red. Best for light makeup or no makeup days when I don't want to wash with soap.
Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Hydrating Cleanser
In the shower, feeling like I need a good bubbly wash, I go for this Skinfix soaper. It's milky, foams, and doesn't leave the skin feeling stripped post-cleanse.

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 ?
