A curated lifestyle guide

Products, brands, and practices for
natural living.

The things we live amongst profoundly shape our life experience. They influence the quality of our attention, our health, and our sense of aliveness. This is a curated collection of what actually works — honest materials, human-friendly technology, and things that respect your biology.

Screens that respect your attention.

Paper-based computing for people who want to think clearly. E-ink displays, distraction-free phones, tools designed to be used less — not more. Technology that enhances rather than hijacks your attention.

Amber light. The highest-leverage change.

Light is the deepest signal in biology — the master clock that synchronizes sleep, hormones, mood, and metabolism. Every light after sunset should be amber. Four bulbs, thirty dollars. Your eyes stop straining. Your body starts winding down.

The invisible conditions that shape everything.

Sleep, air, temperature, sound, grounding — the background conditions of your space determine how you feel, how you heal, and how well you think. Fix the environment first. Everything else follows.

Honest materials. Things that age well.

Wool, linen, leather, cotton. Natural materials against your skin, honest construction, things that develop character instead of falling apart. The path back from synthetic everything.

Simple products. Real ingredients.

What touches your skin absorbs into your body within minutes. The average person applies 168 different chemical ingredients daily. These are products with ingredients you can actually read — simple, effective, non-toxic.

No plastic contacting your food or water.

Stainless steel and cast iron pans, glass containers, wooden cutting boards. No PFAS, no PTFE, no plastic touching what you eat or drink. Kitchen equipment that’s safe, beautiful, and built to last decades.

Real food. Nothing more.

Organic, local, regeneratively farmed. The body knows what to do with food it recognizes — the challenge is simply giving it that, consistently.

Glass, not plastic.

Water in glass bottles, never plastic. Spring water when possible. Filtered at a minimum. The container matters as much as the contents — glass preserves what plastic leaches.

Fix the environment first. Then optimize.

You cannot supplement your way out of a bad environment. Fix the light, the sleep, the food. Then — and only then — targeted supplementation can do its thing.

Built into the day, not isolated into a gym hour.

Movement is the baseline condition your body expects. A pull-up bar on the wall. A walking desk instead of sitting. Barefoot shoes that let you feel the ground. Tools that make movement the default.

Pen on paper. The friction is the feature.

Writing by hand is thinking made physical — slower, more deliberate, more real than any screen. The best notebook is the one that makes you want to write.

Every object earns its place.

Beeswax candles instead of paraffin. Aromatherapy cleaning instead of chemicals. Beautiful storage instead of hidden clutter. The infrastructure of a home, elevated from invisible to intentional.

Environments designed for presence.

Digital detox cabins, meditation retreats, ceremonial spaces — places designed to strip away everything except being there. The things that change you most aren’t things at all.

The most elegant form of transport.

Lock it well, light it well, ride it every day. A good bicycle turns every commute into something worth doing.

The Guide

The things we make, make us in return.

Almost any “thing” we think of was once considered a form of technology. We don’t exist separate from our tools. And so the question of what makes a thing good requires us to think about what it means to live well — with our biology, not against it.

Is it made of honest materials? Does it support — rather than undermine — the experience of being alive in a body?

That’s the filter. No affiliate noise. No sponsored placements. Every product here has been researched, tested, and chosen with care.

148 products across 14 categories.

And counting.
