Things discovered in real life and online that you may like too.

18 THINGS I LOVE/SWEAR BY
The younger you start wearing sunscreen, the better. I started in my 20s.
Every single day. - rain. shine. snow. inside all day. even though I’m Black. ALL OF IT! Find one, wear it. Here’s two I love: Black Girl Sunscreen & Supergoop Glow Stick
Drink water. Find a glass or bottle you love because that will help you drink it. The little things. After going through a few and seeing a friend’s, I splurged on this one.
READ. articles. books. poems. essays. whatever! Just READ.
Keep young people in your life. hang out with them. learn what they’re learning. learn FROM them.
Moisturize after every shower/bath. Preferably while damp. - man. woman. child.
Handmade Coffee Cups make drinking coffee extra special.
Beautiful smells in my home, move me. Some faves: Aesop, Blackbird, and Vitruvi
A pretty notebook/journal. Writing things downs frees up brain space, helps me think, and solve problems. heres a splurge.
A great fine tip pen!
An organized backpack/purse. Get one of these or these. Change your life. I’m being dramatic. You’ll save time digging though.
Dr. Andrew Huberman’s Instagram. Find him. Follow him. Learn from him.
Making favorite coffee order at home - she has mastered it. My perfect cup is 1 part coffee to 2 parts vanilla almond milk with 2 teaspoons of dark agave.
“The Universe keeps a perfect set of books.” I stand on this quote when I feel I have been wronged, taken advantage of, etc… Learned from this book. No need to ‘get my lick back’.
Study hall dates with friends. Getting together to have coffee, crank out some work, laugh, and be off task is one of my FAVORITE things! Wanna meet up?
Printing pictures use as postcards to friends & loved ones. I love using Artifact Uprising - recycled paper. made with love. made in USA. ‘joy’ is important to them.
Uniform dressing. Easier. Fewer decisions. Less spending. Quality > Quantity. Two things that played a part in this decision years ago: The True Cost and Marie Kondō
YouTube University - I learn SO MUCH from YouTube. Here’s just a FEW of my favorite channels: Ali Abdaal Deep Dive, Tim Ferriss, and Never Too Small - what’s your fave YouTube channel?
HOKA sneakers! When they first hit the scene, I thought, MEH! Now I live in em! Nothing else will ever feel as good. period. end of discussion. I wear Bondi 8 or Bondi SR - have you tried em?
THAT’S IT Y’ALL - see ya here next Sunday at 3p CT - 7 more sleeps.
What part of the newsletter is your favorite?
I’m always open to dialogue and feedback.

Hugs & LOVE Y’all,
