Aqua Coralline Bath Salts
This humble $4 envelope of bath salts is total perfection. I’ve tried the other forms of this scent — candles, soaps - they are not quite as great. And likewise I have tried bath salts ranging from the luxury weirdness of Buly to Dr. Teal’s to the no-nonsense Kniepps and nothing compares to the in-bath smell and after-bath softness of Coralline. Allegedly the scent is “kelp and sea buckthorn” but the actual scent is heaven!
Borotalco shower cream
Talc lovers, rejoice! If, like me, you love musky, powdery smells, Borotalco Original is right up your alley. It foams up brilliantly and the scent is clean and fresh. I recommend getting the larger size which will inevitably be a little bit too big for your shower shelf or nook or ledge and create some fun wobbly suspense.
Conti Borbone marbled paper photo albums
These super beautiful handmade paper photo albums are so special and you can have a year or initials or whatever embossed on their spine in gold leaf. I buy them with our initials on the spine — and subscribe to a service (Mootsh) where I choose ten photos a month to be printed and fill these albums up ten photos at a time. I recommend this pastime and these albums!
Joray fruit rolls
I can’t recommend a specific flavor because I haven’t yet tried one I don’t love — I’m furious it took me more than 40 years of being alive to find these and I wouldn’t want you to waste any of your time here not eating these.
