Non-tech stuff

• Darn Tough socks (wool)
  • one of my best purchases ever, I think. I bought five pairs, lost one, and plan on never buying socks again unless I lose more pairs. They’re basically the only socks I wear.
• Skincare: I use benzoyl peroxide from PanOxyl, a tinted sunscreen from EltaMD, and Differin (adapalene).
• Gym membership: I actually don’t have one at the moment but highly recommend.
• A nice mattress
• A nice pillow
• Loop Dream earplugs
• A mediocre eyemask
• Matador Packable Shower Towel – Large
