What Kimiko Glenn Can’t Live Without

I have two pets: mydogArnold and mycatToby. They are my everything. I adopted Arnold about eight years ago, and he’s the love of my life. Last August, I found Toby, this scruffy little kitten, in the middle of the street and fell in love with him, too. I recently got thiscat jungle gymbecause it helps save space and is aesthetically pleasing. It’s these customizable hexagonal shelves that are like rooms he can go through. Toby has a feeder shelf, a little house shelf with pillows in it. I think allcat loversshould have one.

My needs are very basic. I’ve always been addicted to ChapStick, but in the past few years, I started using this Burt’s Bees Shimmer. I use the shade watermelon in the winter and peony in the summer. It keeps mylips moisturized, but it also makes them look really plump. Nothing else has been able to do that. I actually stockpile these because I’m really concerned they’re going to go out of stock.

This is the skin-care MVP of my life. I actually use two different ones:P50 PIGM 400in the morning because it’s a little calmer and P50 1970 at night. There are only so many things I think are must-haves, and this is one of them. It’s anexfoliantthat provides so muchhydration. The first time I used it, my skin was like glass afterwards, and I was hooked immediately. Now, everyone comments on my skin and asks me about my routine. I can’t plug it any harder. If there’s one thing you splurge on, it’s this.

For whatever reason, my hair got sodamagedfrom living in New York. So now, I’m hypersensitive to making sure I don’t have hair breakage. I was recently sent these with asilk pillowcaseandscrunchies, and now, they’re all I use. I can put my hair up without worrying about breakage.

I’mconstantly cold. I’m one of those people whose hands are freezing at any given moment. So once again, I always travel with myheat packs. I’m constantly surrounded by them. Instead of those heavyweighted blankets, heat packs are my safe space. I have several different kinds. There’s one that’s electric, so it’s good for hotel rooms. But I use this microwavable one every night. I feel so vulnerable telling you this, but I use it to help me sleep. I don’t have to worry about it because the heat dissipates within like an hour. It’s not heating me up all night.

I have to havecoffee. I used to live around the corner from Stumptown in New York, and it was always my little treat to myself. I don’t live there anymore, but I keep buying theircoffeebecause they just have a superior bean. I often buy each blend and switch it up for my taste buds, just to keep things interesting.

It’s so, so embarrassing to admit this, but basically everywhere I go, anytime Itravel, I make sure I have a bag of Lay’s potato chips in my bag. If I don’t, I buy it immediately at like, the gift shop or the Hudson News or whatever’s closest. This is not a lie. It’s like a midnight-snack or midday-snack sort of thing. I know people like the different flavors, but I really like just the purity of the classic Lay’s. It’s just the perfect texture, the same thinness every time. It’s consistent.

This is like how I have to have Lay’s, but not as intense. I pretty much always have Hershey’s Kisses in my house. I had some last night. It’s like my midnight snack. I like having a handful after dinner. I think it’s the nostalgia that makes me love the flavor so much. Like, I remember eating mac and cheese that wasn’t Kraft for the first time, and it was so weird tasting. That’s how I feel with Hershey’s Kisses and otherchocolates. Hershey’s is so specific, and I love it.

I’m a hugepodcastjunkie. My dad introduced me to this app, and I just prefer it over others. I like the layout, and it’s easy to use. I have like four different news podcasts I listen to every morning, a lot of true crime, but I lovetheMoth Radio Hourbecause I’m never not in the mood for it. It’s live recordings of people storytelling onstage without notes. It ranges from hilarious and ridiculous to some of the most influential, moving moments in people’s lives. It’s just an exploration of humanity, and I think as an actor, learning about people has always fascinated me.
