JH Curio Cabinet 07

Our semi-regular roundup of JH curiosities — things we saved, shared, or talked about this month.

JOLIE-LAIDE, CTD.

Continuing our conversation on the fine line between beauty and repulsion, we enjoyed this article on how disgust is like “a piece of evolutionary hardware designed to protect our stomachs that expanded into a system for protecting our souls.”

VIEWING

“Your dreams are inscrutable to yourself for a good reason…” Never knew we wanted a Western, but thrilled for director Jane Campion’s return to filmmaking.

COZY SEASON
Making batches of savory porridge for chilly mornings (a riff on this recipe,
topped with a fried egg, slivered scallion, sauteed shiitake mushroom, avocado, sesame oil, tamari, and gomasio).

Sometimes socks can be an indulgence.

APERITIF

Label it “dry” if you must, but might we recommend a few special beverages that happen to be non-alcoholic this month? (Now accepting beverage sponsors for JH HQ…)
Ghia — try it with a green olive
Corsa — the ginger-hibiscus is a delight
Vybes — trying out their new spritz, made with Turkish apricots (and mellow-inducing Ashwagandha)

READING

Fully aware of the irony in suggesting this whilst chained to a device, alas…

RESPECT THE MUSE

“I am in competition with no one…”  Revisiting this Nick Cave treasure.

INNER EAR

Jess made a new playlist of what’s been on repeat lately.

LOL

Got a good laugh out of Martha’s incredible caption work here (plus might we call out Pete’s nail polish in question looks like a clear dupe for Cameo, part of our MET mini set.)

WINTER RITUALS

Enjoying a duo of cleansing balms (+ one oil!) as extra hydrating and gentle salves for dry winter skin: this one (subtly earthy fragrance and melty texture); this one (milky! And smells amazing); a classic cleansing oil to use amid all seasons. 

File under: ridiculous but we like it. Been following the wisdom of skincare guru Joanna Czech, particularly her techniques for lymphatic drainage. Surely we are not the only ones “unwinding” with YouTube skincare footage?

WOULD YOU?
“Mothers are memorializing their breastfeeding experiences with stones made from the liquid,” from “People Want Breastmilk with Meaning.”

FULL SPECTRUM:
We’ve spoken before on our love for Rose gummies, and we’re curious to try out their newest CBD capsules, designed to support relief from stress and inflammation, from plants grown on regenerative and organic farms.
