So I’m driving around in suburbia on a rainy Saturday, and there’s this one guy on the roof of a bank with a ladder.

Part of me is like “who works alone on a roof on the weekend?” And the other part is like “Nobody robs banks anymore, and I mean it’s right in daylight on a crowded corner, so of course it’s legit.”

Probably the funnier point, regardless of what this guy is doing, is that if you just do something with enough confidence, a lot of people will believe you probably belong there.

nostr during holidays takes me back to that frenetic pace a couple years ago when many of us forged our first keypair here

Where in the world is a garbage truck called a "dustbin lorry"?! Quite funny sometimes when you buy books from all around the world 😂

I struggle with allowing plants full spacing and wanting to cram containers full so they look pretty right away. Gardeners what’s your thought process? I allowed spacing for them to grow to their fullest but I’m tempted to add more. #planstr #asknostr #garden #gardening

Ignore all influencers, big names in this space. They are all out for themselves. They are in it for money. Just stack sats and avoid their dumb advice. Stack, secure, repeat. Self sovereign ! 🤙

One of the things I love is mixing my own skincare products - It started as a cost-saving initiative, costing about $50 every 6 months and at most, I’d spend an hour or 2 a month to mix it but the benefits are substantially higher than that - as it's more natural, healthier and you get to customize for sensitive skin.

I'm not an apothecary, but if you love natural skincare products, I’d love to know your skincare mixology.

Here’s some of my mix

Essential oils :Ylang ylang, tea tree, neem, prickly pear, cactus oil

Antioxidant :Vitamin C, green tea extract

Vitamins :Vitamin E

Water component :Distilled water or rose water

Other stuff such as body scrubs, scalp scrub, face masks often times just comes from the kitchen :

- coffee scrubs with honey,

- sugar scrub with coconut oil / avocado oil,

- face masks with yogurt, aloe and honey as base.

- Hair masks with egg yolk, coconut oil

Stuff off the counters I love are hydration masks and the gold eye masks.

The above might sound like a lot, but it has way less products and chemicals compared to store purchased goods, and a fraction of the money spent.

If you have a natural skincare routine, I would love to know more !
