Lapsang souchong

I imagine it might already be on your list, but I think it is the most perfect tea, smoked over pine needles in China’s Fujian region. It’s smooth and delicious and smells like a campfire. Bellocq tea has two lovely varieties (great if you happen to be on the east coast of the US). Avoid the twinnings one, I think it might be artificially flavored (It tastes that way). Harney & sons is ok, Upton have a decent one, as do Mariage Freres. The Smokey earl grey is a great rec too!

not hit-you-over-the-head smoky like lapsang souchong but a deep woody earthy-ness, almost like eating a warm spiced meal. Absolutely divine. I find lapsang to be too smoky for me personally but this is like a nice earthy middle ground, like a deeper mossier oolong. It undergoes microbial fermentation during aging which adds depth and layers of flavor I haven’t found in any other tea. You can also age it like wine for even more complexity! My dad brewed it in his Yixing clay teapot for my husband and I this week and my husband said it was the best cup of tea he’s ever had.

lapsang souchong

this is a somewhat ancient tea that must be smelled/tasted to be believed!! i was stunned by its depth and smokiness when i first had it! i have only ever had it loose leaf, maybe there are packs available, but dw! loose leaf is super easy! just put the leaves in a little mesh ball (like the pic i've attached, there are variations of this product like with clamp handles, u can find these at the dollar store) and steep it!! im not technical w it at all, i just take it out of the water after ~5mins, and it is delicious and energizing. this is a caffeinated tea

Wearing little to no makeup on a first date

I did this recently on a date with someone who I met irl who asked me out. I generally don’t wear a ton of makeup anyways, and once I start up in a relationship with someone they’ll see me far more frequently without makeup than with makeup on. While I’m a firm believer that makeup drastically improves my appearance and that I’m pretty average/plain looking without it, I figure it’s a more honest depiction of my physical being to go without it. It’s a real challenge for me to go on dates without wearing any and it’s been an interesting experiment in letting go of my negative self-image. Note: I don’t want this to be interpreted as anti-makeup propaganda. Make no mistake, i love a beat face and i love the art of applying makeup!! im just sometimes too lazy to bother, even for a date.

Fashion brand company!!!!

I’m literally obsessed with this brand. It’s so camp and the pieces are so unique and well made, definitely has an emphasis on statement pieces rather than everyday basics (although they do have some of the latter). Penelope Gazin is the evil genius behind the brand and her marketing strategy is hilarious. From the logo to the item descriptions to the name of the brand itself (every time I tell someone about this brand they look at me like I’m joking when I tell them the name), everything is imbibed with subtle satirical humor. I believe she once described it as an “anti-marketing marketing strategy”. Anyways, I know it’s not the most affordable but its a small business with ethical practices that I enjoy supporting when I can.
