<p> After travel it is essential I slowly ease back into my morning routine to remain balanced especially during the winter months. As someone who suffers from insomnia, having a morning routine I can look forward to is super important for me. I hope you can draw inspiration my routine! My ideal time to wake up each morning is 6:30am. I typically start my day with coffee or tea at 9:30am but here’s a list of everything I do in between. </p>

<p>I start each morning with light therapy. This is my way of signaling to my brain it is time to wake up. </p>

<p>Next I begin to fill my room with amazing uplifting scents like lemon grass. I find aroma therapy to be extremely healing. </p>

<h1>Hydration is essential. </h1>
<p>On slow morning I typically opt for hydrant. If I anticipate an extremely busy day I will reach for a protein ball and ginger shot. </p>

Magma makes every moment matter. Create digital, mini-magazines to share your life’s greatest experiences.

Glamis

<h1><strong>Glamis Sand Dunes</strong></h1>
<p><strong>We headed out to Glamis near the Mexicali border for a weekend with the boys and toys. Glamis is a massive off-road park with endless sanddunes and no rules </strong>☠️</p>
<p><strong>200,000 people head out to Glamais for Thanksgiving weekend. We went 8 guys, 2 campers, 2 trucks and 2 side-by-sides and ripped through the sand all weekend. Great way to burn off those Thanksgiving calories. </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you don’t own your own toys, contact this company for all your rental needs —&gt; (<a href="http://glamisrent.com">here</a>). </strong></p>
<p><strong>Ps. For some reason my phone did not want to work out there, so whoever tried reaching out, now you know why I did not respond…</strong></p>

<h1><strong>The Drags</strong></h1>
<p><strong>The Drags is an open runway where all the big boys go drag race with their machines while everyone gets on both sides of the strip to watch. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Below is my buddy racing his TRX with the 2 race flags. </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are not racing, you are watching with a good old American Bud Light</strong>🍺<strong>. </strong></p>

<h1><strong>Oldsmobile Hill</strong></h1>
<p><strong>Oldsmobile is where everyone meets up to race up the big dune. Saturday night, we drove all the toys up to the top and set up shop. We brought firewood, drinks, snacks and music. Everyone has their toys lit up with neon lights and rally’s at the dune with a full firework show throughout the night. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Incredible experience and can’t wait until next year! <a href="magma://users/BaGix6Uj7sSFaFE1XS8EwsPuL9f2">@NateWeiz</a> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FYI, Glamis is only 3.5 hour drive from LA so come out next Thanksgiving weekend!</strong></p>

<h1>I’ve always liked taking photos of small creatures. I don’t think insects are appreciated enough.</h1>
<h1>This is something I learned from my mom. </h1>
<h2>My mom is a biologist: raised on a farm in New Jersey, got a PhD in chemistry at Harvard, spends a lot of her time these days trying to explain to local politicians why building developments on the town water supply might have an impact on water quality. </h2>
<h2>She also loves bugs. Other kids’ mothers thought they were anywhere between a nuisance and a menace; my mom couldn’t wait to get them under a microscope.</h2>

<p>
  <h1>Bugs are endlessly diverse and endlessly fascinating. I like taking photos of them because these images capture details that most of us never get close enough to see.</h1>

<h1><strong><em>What is an NFT? </em></strong></h1>
<h2>An NFT is a one-of-a-kind verifiable digital asset. The current craze surrounds digital art but in theory an NFT could be a song, a drawing, a virtual blunt… anything turned digital. </h2>

<h1><strong><em>What does NFT stand for? </em></strong></h1>
<h2><strong><em>Non-fungible token. </em></strong></h2>
<p>Although let’s be honest, does anyone outside of this space truly grasp wtf a <strong><em>non-fungible</em></strong> token even is? Allow me to elaborate. </p>
<p><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<h2><strong><em>“Non-fungible”</em></strong></h2>
<p>In basic English, <strong><em>non-fungible</em></strong> simply means that it’s unique and one of a kind. You can not replace one NFT for another unlike crypto coins. For example, you could trade one Bitcoin for another and it would still be the exact same value. You can not trade a one-of-a-kind Bored Ape NFT for another. While some may have similar monetary values, they will never be identical assets.</p>

<h2><strong><em>‘Bitcoin and other crypto coins are fungible af. NFTs are not.’ - Shanni Suissa</em></strong></h2>

<h1><strong><em>How do NFTs work?</em></strong></h1>
<p>NFTs exist on a blockchain. Most of the current NFTs exist on the Ethereum blockchain although other blockchains support them as well.</p>

<h1><strong><em>Don’t know what a blockchain is? Let me elaborate. </em></strong></h1>
<p>A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is distributed across the entire network of computer systems on that blockchain. So basically a record of every single transaction is added to every participant’s ledgers. </p>
<p>In other words, everyone and their mothers can see where and when I was scammed for 500 USD worth of Bitcoin. But let’s not revisit traumas. After all this is not an ayahuasca retreat. </p>

<h1><strong><em>How do NFTs benefit the creators? </em></strong></h1>
<p>One of the coolest facets of NFTs is that the artist or creator always receives a commission when an NFT is sold. Often times in traditional art, a piece will only gain value later in it’s lifespan. With NFTs the creators will always benefit as their work increases in value over time. </p>
<h2><strong><em>NFTs not only benefit the creators, they also benefit the consumers. </em></strong></h2>
<p>As an owner of an NFT, you can increase both your net worth and network significantly. Many NFT projects increase in value over time allowing the original owners to sell at a profit. And while making money is delectable, one of the biggest benefits of owning an NFT is the community it comes with.</p>

<p>Owning NFTs can grant you entry into exclusive parties, conventions, meetups, talks, discords (online platform for group chats) and so much more. There is no shortage of friends and family within the NFT community. I have been fortunate to experience the community first hand and it is beautiful.</p>

<h1><strong><em>How to buy NFTs? </em></strong></h1>
<p><em>Full guide below. </em></p>

<h1><strong><em>A step-by-step guide to buying NFTs</em></strong></h1>
<p><em>**All of the exchanges, wallets and marketplaces mentioned below are available as phone apps as well for easy use. </em></p>
<p>1. Purchase Ethereum (or whatever currency your marketplace accepts) on any crypto exchange like <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/">Coinbase</a>, <a href="https://www.kraken.com/en-us/">Kraken</a>, <a href="https://www.etoro.com/en-us/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv_uXjbKt9AIV3h6tBh01fgjsEAAYASAAEgLtY_D_BwE">eToro</a>, etc…</p>
<p>2. Open a cryptocurrency wallet to transfer your coins to like <a href="https://metamask.io/">MetaMask</a> (the most popular wallet in the NFT community), <a href="https://wallet.coinbase.com/">Coinbase wallet</a>, etc… </p>
<p>3. Connect your wallet to an NFT marketplace like <a href="https://opensea.io/">OpenSea</a> (the most popular marketplace currently available), <a href="https://rarible.com/?source=google&medium=cpc&campaignid=14850214750&adgroupid=127960235517&keyword=rarible&device=m&source=google&medium=cpc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIodWRtrKt9AIVYQJ9Ch0_sg5oEAAYASAAEgKrp_D_BwE">Rarible</a>, <a href="https://niftygateway.com/">Nifty Gateway</a>, <a href="https://mintable.app/">Mintable</a>, etc… There are also some niche marketplaces specializing in specific types of NFTs like <a href="https://nbatopshot.com/?c=BS_HP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=within_search_brand_exclusionlist&utm_term=nba+top+shot&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-9_B2bKt9AIVsRx9Ch0uogcBEAAYAiAAEgI4afD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds">NBA Top Shot</a> - where you can purchase NBA highlights as NFTs. </p>
<p>4. Once you’ve purchased an NFT, it will be stored in your connected wallet. If you would like to store your digital assets offline, companies such as <a href="https://trezor.io/">Trezor</a> and <a href="https://www.ledger.com/">Ledger</a>  offer cold storage options or essentially just hardware wallets that are not accessible via the Internet. This does add a layer of protection and security however it can be cumbersome to access your assets. </p>
<p>5. Enjoy your new digital assets. You can now use them as your Twitter profile pictures which is rumored to be the reason any influencers have purchased NFTs. </p>

The Bishop Arts District

DALLAS TRAVEL GUIDE: Paradiso located in the Bishop Arts District — @undefined's mag on Magma

<p>BEACON, NY • LATE 2021 </p>
<h1>—</h1>
<h1>Beacon is a pretty walkable town. For most of my life, I haven’t had that.</h1>
<h2>I didn’t do the typical city thing after college. While most of my friends opted for foreign countries or various urban centers, I went to Poughkeepsie, New York. I lived in a development. It was technically possible to walk into the more interesting parts of the city, but it wasn’t all that fun. Who wants to walk along a busy road for thirty minutes just to get downtown?</h2>
<p>But I always appreciated walkable towns and cities, even though I didn’t live in one. Growing up, I did a lot of traveling with my family, and all we did was walk. When you’re in a foreign city and you don’t want to spend $200/day on taxis, that’s what you do.</p>
<p>And later, when I visited NYC, or any of the small towns scattered around the Hudson area, I’d spend most of my time wandering around, taking photos. Walking gives you a chance to look at things up close.</p>
<h1>—</h1>
<h1>Then there’s walking at night.</h1>
<h2>That wasn’t something I really did until I moved to Beacon. Up to that point, there had been nowhere to <em>go</em>.</h2>
<p>But the thing about living close to the center of a small mid-sized town is that there are always side streets, alleys, and other small routes trickling off to who knows where. I’ve walked five miles some nights with no clear destination in mind, just poking around.</p>
<h2>Other thing: I can <em>think</em> better at night. People are a distraction, filling spaces with noise and confusion. I can’t fully get to know a space until it’s quiet and empty.</h2>

<h2>Beacon is <em>weird, </em>in the way that hipsterish, gentrifying towns generally are: quirky, multilayered, and steeped in its own private jokes. That stuff gets buried under the people during the day; it’s at night when the character of the place really takes form.</h2>

<p>NIGHT WALK</p>
<h1>—</h1>
<h1>People express themselves in strange ways around here.</h1>
<h2>And new stuff gets added all the time. I’m pretty familiar with the stickers on my usual route, and I still find something I haven’t seen before every time I’m out.</h2>
<h2>Mention “local art gallery” and most people will think of Dia. I think the stickers that make up Beacon’s illicit, living wallpaper are the most interesting art around. </h2>

<h1>The street is the gallery.</h1>
<h2>And everyone lays claim to it: punk bands, activists, artists, random crazies, and—more and more—businesses.</h2>
<p>I have a theory that you can judge how interesting a place is by how many stickers are plastered to its signs, lights, electrical boxes. Boring places don’t have stickers. Cool places do.</p>

<h2>It’s easy to get the sense that no one sees this stuff: it’s so omnipresent, so obvious, as to be invisible. You walk down any street, day or night, and look around; I’ll be the only one snapping thirty photos of grungy stickers on an electrical box.</h2>
<h1><em>—</em></h1>
<h2>But people see enough.</h2>
<p>Not too long ago, a hate group I won’t name showed up in the Hudson Valley and plastered their stickers everywhere. I saw those stickers everywhere else—but, strangely enough, not in Beacon.</p>
<p>Turns out those guys did come to Beacon. Someone noticed the stickers; someone told someone else. They scoured the whole town within two hours and removed every one.</p>
<h2>Those guys never came back.</h2>
<h2>Little things matter.</h2>

<h1>Walk around long enough, and keep your eyes open, and you’ll start to see the same people over and over again.</h1>
<h2>Their names, at least. And in at least one notorious instance, sometimes their faces.</h2>

<p>THE CHAMP</p>
<h2>Vinny, patron saint of the Beacon sticker world; Shepard Fairey’s all-city spiritual successor; man-about-town.</h2>
<p>This guy is <em>everywhere</em>. I could easily devote an entire issue to him. He—and, probably, his fans—have plastered various permutations of his face on every piece of street furniture in Beacon. Everywhere you go, he’s staring back: the kind of omnipresence that makes Kim Il-Sung look modest.</p>
<p>Vinny is probably one of the most talented sticker guys out there. He’s always evolving; there are easily twenty different designs of his scattered around the Hudson Valley. </p>
<h1>—</h1>
<p>THE UPSTART</p>
<h2>Bronco Anarchy 99—he’s new here. Trying to make a name for himself, from the looks of it. His thing seems to be tags in white grease pencil.</h2>
<p>I ran into him one night while he was tagging the stop sign in front of my place. He was tall, good-looking, with long black hair and stubble. He was looping out his name in white grease pencil. He had a friend with him—a preppy-looking kid who dressed nice, had a fashionable haircut, and stood there, shifting awkwardly, waiting for him to finish. The kid looked at me uneasily as I went by, probably thinking I was going to call the cops. Anarchy didn’t even look up. </p>
<p>He’s improving. The tag I saw on that stop sign was barely readable, but the more recent ones have been more legible. Not particularly creative, though.</p>
<h1>—</h1>
<p>ALSO STARRING</p>
<h2>The more mysterious ones: SOH, Thundercloud Guy, B.F., and a host of others. What’s their deal? What drives them? Wish I knew.</h2>

<p>CAST &amp; CREW</p>
<h1>—</h1>
<h1>You know what—let’s talk a little more about Vinny.</h1>
<h2>First of all, his name really <em>is</em> Vinny: Vinny Raffa. He’s an electrician. </h2>
<p>Or, perhaps, a working man’s hero. As I said, he’s everywhere. I have a growing collection of Vinny photos, and I’m always adding to it. I’m pretty familiar with his style, but every now and then, Vinny surprises me.</p>
<p>A few nights ago, I found something special.</p>

<h2>11:37pm on a weekend night—I’m crouched in front of a lamppost behind the diner, taking shots of what appears to be Vinny’s most ambitious work yet. He’s moved on to posters, it seems, and they’re nice ones. I wonder how long he’s been doing this.</h2>
<h2>Abruptly, a car fixes me in its headlights and stops.</h2>
<p>I’m always aware that what I’m doing—displaying an unusual obsession with documenting vandalism—is an inherently suspicious activity. Cops might think I’m recording my own work; the people whose work it actually is might think I’m a cop. Municipal vandal squads often maintain vast databases of photos, so they can charge vandals with all the incidents they have evidence for. (Vinny, oddly enough, does not seem to be remotely concerned about this.) </p>
<h2>“Hey man!” the guy yells. “I was trying to give you some more light…”</h2>
<p>Now that was nice of him, wasn’t it? And it definitely helped. That’s the above photo. I never use flash—not unless I’m going for the crime-scene look—so I try to illuminate a lot of my night photos with the light from passing cars. It’s a kind of lighting that seems distinctly urban and in line with the<em> </em>aesthetic I’m going for: off-the-cuff, ephemeral, documentarian, and slightly eerie.</p>
<p><em>Beacon</em>, I think, getting back to work. I’m still in small-town Connecticut-suburb mode, where people live proper lives and try not to deviate too noticeably from the local norms. In some ways, Beacon is similar—upscale, not particularly diverse—but like I said:</p>
<p>Beacon is <em>weird</em>.</p>

<h1>Vinny never stops.</h1>
<h2>He doesn’t stop designing. He doesn’t stop coming up with new ways of presenting his face. And he definitely doesn’t stop posting.</h2>
<p>Some day, I’ll go through all the photos I have of the various Vinnies I’ve seen around Beacon: Skeleton Vinny, Starbucks Vinny, Disney Vinny, Fidel-Castro-at-a-Yankees-Game (???) Vinny. All of them. He warrants a closer, more comprehensive look.</p>
<p>Most of the names I’ve come to recognize around here are notable just for their sheer persistence. They’re everywhere—but it’s the same tag, the same sticker. </p>
<h2>Vinny is notable because his energy doesn’t stop at raw promotion. He doesn’t have one design, he’s got thirty; but they’re all instantly recognizable as his. He’s a brand—probably one of the most innovative street artists I’ve seen working today.</h2>

<h1>I’m a man of microcosms. I don’t do a lot of global traveling; I prefer getting to know the intricacies of one particular space.</h1>
<h2>And most spaces have more intricacy than they’re given credit for. Even the most boring suburb—and I’d know, I grew up in one—has an unusual plant here or there, strange caterpillars, and an otherworldly quality to it if you’re out and about late at night and in the fog.</h2>

<p>What my neighborhood didn’t have much in the way of was any sort of street art. Why would it? It was a community of middle-to-upper-class retirees who were probably barely aware that such a thing existed.</p>
<p>So when I visited cities for the first time, in Europe, the art—mostly graffiti—was one of the first things I noticed. I was obsessed with it. Who were these people who doggedly scrawled their art on walls in the middle of the night? And why was it so haunting? </p>
<h1><em>—</em></h1>
<h1><em>Well—because many of them seemed crazy. And more, because I was the only one who noticed them. It felt like being in on a secret.</em></h1>
<h2>Gradually, I got to recognize the names and drawings that showed up all over Paris, Basel, Cologne. It was almost like recognizing a friend in a crowd; some familiar sign when everything else seemed utterly alien.</h2>
<p>And when I came back to the United States, I took that obsession—and heightened perception—with me. Every time I’m in a city, I pay attention to who’s writing on its walls: who they claim to be, what they’re trying to say.</p>
<h1><em>—</em></h1>
<h2>The world is a little richer than most of us are led to believe. We notice from the earliest age that our curiosity often inconveniences people. After a while, we stop being curious. </h2>
<p>But there’s so much to see. Taking a close look at the city walls around you is like peering into a microscope.</p>
<h1>Look closely.</h1>

<p>Did you know that spaghetti sauces and salad’s dressings could ruin all of your hard-working diet? Most of them contain the enormous amount of sugar, the worst quality of salt and some other Mendeleev ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>"If you give up on making your own sauce every time you see a hundred ingredients in a fancy recipe, don’t worry, I got you! </strong></p>
<p><strong>This one is easy! </strong></p>
<p>Let me give you an advise - do a big portion at once, so you have it for a few days. This is what I do every time, and delight the creamy healthy sauce by adding it to pasta, rice, potatoes, quinoa or salad - new taste every day! </p>

<p>1. Soak 2 cups of organic cashews for an hour.</p>
<p>I use the ones from Costco - good price and great quality! </p>
<p>Put them in a blender after 1h of soaking without water.</p>

<p>You can also use other nuts (soak them overnight). However 1 hour for cashews is enough.</p>
<p>I can only imagine the amazing taste of Brazil nut sauce! </p>
<p>Oh, how about to mix different nuts? It’s totally up to you!</p>

<p>2. The second most important ingredient after cashews is a coconut milk. I bought this one in Costco. Make sure it’s organic and doesn’t contain any sugar! Watch - unsweetened. Add all of it to cashews.</p>

<p>3. Start frying organic mushrooms (cut them into medium pieces first). White mushrooms, portobello - I always mix. Add salt, black pepper and garlic. Use your favorite oil - coconut oil is my favorite!</p>

<p>4. Put a lot of Basil and Dill. I harvest our homemade dill and basil right from this awesome “garden”. It should be another post about this great invention! For now, I’m leaving you a website below, so you can check it out!</p>

<p>You can also add fresh garlic or onion. Instead of this I put this amazing organic non-salt seasoning, which contains almost every possible healthy spices. Found in Costco!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.aerogarden.com/blog/grow-more-every-day-giveaway/">www.aerogarden.com/blog/grow-more-every-day-giveaway/</a> </p>

<p>5. Add Himalayan Salt, Garlic and Black Pepper. Mine are from Costco.</p>
<p>6. Mix everything in a blender (without mushrooms yet).</p>

<p>Once you taste your sauce base, make sure you like the consistency. I decided to add a little bit of almond milk, as it was too thick. However don’t forget that we still are going to add mushrooms.</p>
<p>If you don’t have almond milk.. we can’t be friends! Lol sorry! Just a joke, because I can’t live without almond milk, and always have a storage for at least a month!</p>
<p>If you don’t have almond milk, use water!</p>

<p>7. Finally add crispy golden mushrooms to your base and don’t mix it on high speed neither too long! I just pulse for a few times, so instead of the mushroom porridge, you are going to see small pieces of mushrooms.</p>
<p>Okay, pulse!</p>

<p>This is the consistency of a final product that is perfect for me - very light and creamy!</p>

<p>If you need to add more spices, do it, but mix it with a spoon instead of a blender. This way you are going to save small mushroom pieces!</p>

<p>That’s it! There are usually 8-10 small portions, so make sure you keep it in a fridge (better in a glass container) and try not to eat it all in one day!</p>
<p>Swipe for the list of ingredients!</p>

<p>- 1 lbs of organic mushrooms;</p>
<p>- 2 cups of organic cashews;</p>
<p>- Tbs spoon of coconut oil;</p>
<p>- 1 can of organic coconut milk;</p>
<p>- Dill;</p>
<p>- Basil;</p>
<p>- Salt, black pepper, garlic;</p>
<p>- Your favorite organic no sugar seasoning;</p>
<p>- Half a cup of almond milk if needed;</p>
<p>Bon appetite 🍽</p>

<h1>Landing in Salt Lake City </h1>
<p>24 hours in SLC &amp; detouring to the Salt Flats</p>

<p>We flew into SLC, spent 24 hours in the city. Visiting Temple Square is a must, it’s beautiful and the gardens feel like you’re in another country. We wandered around and then ate at The Ivy for dinner. </p>

<p>My favorite part about SLC is we took it slow, did an early dinner and woke up early just to sit in bed, sip coffee and enjoy the view. Afterward we packed up and started making our way to the Salt Flats. </p>

<h1>The Great Salt Lake</h1>
<p>The Salt Flats are about a 2 hour detour from Sundance, but totally worth the trip. On the way, you can make a quick stop at The Great Salt Lake — and, yes, it tastes very salty.</p>

<h1>The Bonnieville Salt Flats</h1>
<p>Right off the highway, there’s a lot where you can park, or drive right onto the salt flats yourself. It’s breathtaking—but also unpredictable, with high winds and chilly air. We got lucky and we’re able to spent about an hour at the flats with great conditions. 10/10 worth making the drive on your way to Sundance.   </p>

<h1>Arrival at Sundance </h1>
<p>From the moment you arrive at Sundance Resort, a wave of calmness comes over you. The scenery, the fresh mountain air￼—it’s unforgettable. </p>

<p>I highly recommend grabbing a sheet form your cabin, getting food to-go from the Provisions and popping a glass of Prosecco with your loved one on the beautiful campus of Sundance Resort. ￼</p>

<h1>Getting Outdoors </h1>
<h2>@SundanceResort</h2>
<p>We visited in September, when the crisp mountain air made for perfect conditions for hiking, zip-lining and so much more. We would always start each day with coffee outside our cabin and end the nights with a cocktail and the hot tub. </p>

A recap of our trip to Sundance, UT. Where we stopped on the way, what we did, how we checked in, to check out.   — @undefined's mag on Magma

<h1>Winter Blues? </h1>
<p>As my Vitamin D levels plummet so does my mental health. </p>
<p>It’s so strange my seasonal depression kicks in every year around this time but I never see it coming. It starts with insomnia, leads to impulsive shopping and ends with an overwhelming sense of emptiness. But this year is different because I am owning my depression and following systems that I have used in the past to stop me from falling down the never ending black hole. I’m not a doctor, but I can offer you a few tips that have helped me. Keep reading if you want to know how I am coping with my seasonal depression. </p>

<p>Find something you can look forward to at the end of each day! I like most of the world am addicted to Netflix. October is full of suspenseful horror flicks, which I love but this kind of entertainment can effect your mental health more than you would think. In November, I try to focus on uplifting content to counteract all of the horror films I watched the month before. Balance is crucial. Rather than finding shows I can binge, I like to watch nostalgic movies that put me in a great mood. </p>
