🥦 rolling papers. for the love of gawd do not use colorful, glittery rolling papers. its not good for your lungs. (even if they use veggie ink) no matter how cuuuute it might loooook. i know so hard. so much self control. it hurts. stick to natural hemp rolling papers like Old Pal or RAW. they're easier to roll with because of the hemp fibers and won't impact the taste of the herb!

🤤 Tama's Kitchen by Tama is all about farmers market and local produce. her food is so thoughtful, colorful, and beautifully designed. highly recommend for catering BUT she also sells her vegan soups at the union square greenmarket and at Der Pioneer (kensington brooklyn)

📚summer reading. its a state of mind. i spent the last month reading all of the pg13 fantasy smut (disclaimer also v yt) i could and i have zero regrets. think witches, vampires, fairies and more. a curse so dark & lonely, a discovery of witches, a court of thorns and roses, the shadow between us

🎧 Krithi's music is everything and more. if you've listened to my wake n bake playlist then you've heard Krithi's music! i haven't had a chance to listen to her most recent ep (Nilapparappu) but im OBSESSED with Pada-Pada-Ppu. combining what feels to be an old world rhythm with future beats. it’s a vibe

🧿 Ancestral Wellness makes an incense blend, Ra, and it might be one of my favorite smells ever. you'll need a charcoal disc for burning. i find this method of burning incense to be so much more intentional because i need to tend to the charcoal & incense - one cant just light it and walk away. you have to be present, adding more incense as needed
