What Crystal Waters Can’t Live Without

I’ve been having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. This machine emits waves and frequencies that help you sleep. Ever since I’ve been using it, I sleep through the night. You just sit it on the side of your table at the bed and plug it in — no earplugs, no earphones or anything. I’ve been using it for three months now. I found out about it by scrolling through Instagram. Now I travel with it. It’s in my bag.

I’m on the plane all the time. These actually knock out the noise, which I love. I’ve tried all the earbuds. The Apple AirPods don’t do anything. I’ve had the over-ear ones — they get too bulky to carry. When they finally came out with the little ones that just go in your ears, I tried these and I was sold. It’s also just easy to travel with. It’s in my purse.

I discovered this six months ago. I travel so much and hotel rooms are so dry. These nebulizers have the special little saline mixture that you can put into them. It really helps keep the vocal chords moisturized. I’ve heard about it for years. Singers use it. I finally went on Amazon and was like, All right, let me try one of these. This is my second one; I like this one better. Some of them come with a mask. This one has a tube you can put your lips around so I don’t have to use a big mask, especially when I have makeup on before I go onstage. The mask really messes up the makeup, so I like the little tube.

I keep a couple of these in my bag. Instead of gum, I like to have Throat Coat. It actually works with soothing your throat. I’ve tried the sprays; they kind of still dry you out. They have tea, but the tea is hard to get when you don’t have hot water. They just started making these drops a couple years ago — that I discovered, anyway. I like the lemon flavor.

Castor oil’s always been something people use for different things. I read that if you mix it with frankincense it works well on your skin, so I’ve been using it. It takes out the puffiness and it moisturizes; you wake up and your skin feels really soft. With some of the moisturizers I use, by the time I wake up in the morning, my skin feels dry again. This roll-on has been working for me. I used to use basic castor oil that came in a big glass bottle. I was scrolling, and I saw this one that has the roller-ball. It’s easy to travel with. You don’t have to get your fingers all sticky; you can just put it on your face and keep moving.

I was told when I was young that you can’t moisturize a dirty face — you have to get that top layer off your skin. This one’s not too harsh where it’s really ripping your skin off. With all the makeup I wear, this helps get it out of my pores so I can actually get the moisturizer in. I’ve been using Clarins for decades; I’ve tried all their products. This is my favorite.

Your body’s electric. It’s made to walk barefoot, but we put rubber between ourselves and the earth. This mat really makes you feel grounded, especially when I’m not able to get out in the sun and into nature. I can put it under my desk or where I’m writing, put my feet on it and feel energized. I like this one because of the size. I’ve tried the bedsheet, the bed mat — they even make hats. I felt a little crazy with the hat on; it’s too much energy going through. I like this because of its size. If I wanted to fold it up and take it with me, I could.

They are the most delicious pretzels in the whole wide world. They are just salty enough and crunchy. I don’t wanna say they fill you up, but they hold me over until I can get a real meal.

I love all New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, but this one’s my favorite. It has that citrusy, grapefruit taste that I love, and it goes down easy. It’s not too strong — some wines can be really strong. This is something I can sip on and be all right in the morning.

When you get up, you gotta do something for yourself — meditate, do breath work and then read something either self-help or spiritual. I’ve been reading this for the last three years. When I don’t read it, I kinda fall off a little bit. It’s really talking about forgiveness, dealing with your ego and, you know, doing unto others — all the stuff you’ve heard all your life. But forgiveness is the basic part, and that we’re all one. When you attack someone else you’re actually attacking yourself.
