yay for earth face lotion

I’ve been using this super natural face lotion for 7ish years since Stevie was making it in her Brooklyn apartment. Now, she has a bigger (but still small) operation in Colorado but is using ethically-sourced ingredients and she is a baddie with principles— love their collab with Palestinian olive farmers!

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie

I’ve made everyone I know in real life watch this already, but posting here for posterity because it’s important to me! This is one of the only movies I’ve seen twice in theaters in recent years. I also got the blu-ray and have since watched it a third time with commentary. I will definitely be watching a fourth time this year because there’s one more commentary. Anyway, it’s weird and hilarious and creative and Canadian, so if any of that appeals to you or you love the Back to the Future films, it’s a must watch! Streaming on Hulu, but just get the blu-ray.

If you love reading and tracking what you read, but would rather support a Black woman-owned app than Jeff Bezos, Storygraph is the better alternative to Amazon’s Goodreads! Plus, charts and graphs!

ALOHA Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

I know I sound like a TikTok shop influencer (which I am NOT above) but these are the best protein bar and this is the best flavor. They were recommended to me by an actual dietician (!!) for having high protein and fiber and now I always have one in my bag. As a plant-based eater for many years, I am trying not to be in situations anymore where fries are my only option, so I’ve brought these to weddings, to travel, anywhere I think I might not have access to a full vegan meal. I buy by the case and I always shop around for the best price— Thrive Market and TikTok Shop usually have the best sales.
