freezer popcorn
Toss that bag of popcorn in the freezer right after you finish popping it. Leave it there for a delicious half hour to hour. Locks in the butter on each piece instead of the inside of the bag, plus no butter grease on your fingers when you eat it.
sleep in your workout clothes
Wanna make working out in the morning easier? Go to bed in your clean workout clothes. Now you don’t even have to get dressed in the morning before groggily stumbling to wherever you exercise. Bonus: leave your workout shoes in your car if going to the gym.
your new fav queer horror novella
Haunting and tragically romantic yet conflicting, this novella surprised me in the topics it was willing to grapple with in such a short amount of pages (while somehow still escaping complete comprehension in that way the best pieces of horror do). Certainly not for everyone, but likely exactly the book some have been looking for.
Instagram as a digital scrapbook
Avoid the constant watching others watching yourself watching others of social media platforms like Instagram by using it as your own virtual memory repository. I like to post once a month, with posts composed of the photos I’ve taken over the past month as a semi-archive of stand out moments — a view I loved, a hyper-specific meme I made, an event I went to, a song I’ve been listening to on repeat, etc. Ever feel like the days fly by and that you can’t remember what you did? This helps with that, and it’s like a digital version of flipping through a photo album. It doesn’t even matter if the quality of the photo/video isn’t great because, as a wise girl with 365 buttons once said: It actually only has to make sense to me 💅🏻
