Transcript

These are five of my favorite little luxuries. HexClad salt and pepper grinders. Absolutely worth it. Super thick. They grind so much more salt and pepper than the average salt and better, especially if you're cooking. Amazing. Manucora manuka honey. This was the OG little luxury. Kicked off the entire thought of the series. It's $200. They have some more affordable ones, but the premium one is 200 rank it is incredible. Like, you haven't tasted honey until you've had this. Aesop Resurrection rank soap. You've heard me talk about this before, but it's one of my favorites. It's tier OG, like, fancy expensive hand soap. It smells amazing. You wash your hands and you're just like, holy shit. What is that? Visca makes this gold wine opener. One, get wine openers like this, not like this. And two, it's good, so obviously, it's awesome and it does work great. And then five is the purest water bottle. It's glass lined on the inside. No. That doesn't mean it's good, like, thick glass. It's gonna break when you drop it. It's like this weird new technology, but the glass is better than drinking out of plastic, obviously, and also doesn't taste like tin or metal like a lot of other bottles. Huge fan. Comment honey below and I'll send you a link to my faves.
