Here are some of my best things, tested in real-life conditions!

Best incense according to moi

  • Japan Incense - anything by Minorien Fu-in

  • Scented Mountain - sustainably grown agarwood incense

Best place in the West to start learning how to play harmonium

  • The Bhakti Breakfast Club with Daniel Tucker

Best labor-friendly tea direct from India

  • Teabox

Best place to shop for housewares and support local artisans from around the world

  • Novica

Best newsletter for reliable analysis of all thing COVID-19

  • Your Local Epidemiologist

Best places to educate yourself about the history of the arts from the Indian subcontinent

  • The Map Academy

  • Himalayan Art Resources

Best places to buy high-quality essential oils now that White Lotus is gone and Floracopeia is on its way out

  • Eden Botanicals - has a lot of different size options to fit different needs and budgets

  • Miracle Botanicals - Hawaiian company that always has Hawaiian sandalwood oil - my favorite

  • Living Libations - essential oils plus lots of different organic health and beauty products that you’ll probably want, but they’re pricey

Best places to buy fancy food from India if you don’t live near an Indian grocery store, or even if you do

  • Pure Indian Foods

  • Diaspora Co

Best place online to buy Indian sweets if you don’t live near an Indian sweet shop - ARK Food Co is great, btw

  • Indian sweets on Etsy

And finally. . . Best Fukushima throwback picture

Me in a tin foil hat. You can’t see it, but I’m also holding a Geiger Counter. The tin foil hat is not serious. The Geiger Counter was.
