We are into compiling things at Olympia Monthly: so far we've documented our favorite oyster bars (and tea houses), a super subjective but highly authoritative list of the best sunshines around the world, and a very "essential" reading list for books to read while in a hotel, or just for when you want to read about them.
This month, however, we've got a compilation you might actually be able to put to practical use: Recipes for Sleep!
To the surprise of no one, I was a stressed out, asocial high schooler with an unfortunately dorky and fairly undiscerning musical taste. I basically liked the widest range of music one is capable of liking, but not in an awesome way.
Soooo...welcome to this month's mixtape!
Et voila! We are entering the half-birthday month of Olympia Monthly! We've already started applying wrinkle creams and drinking more water, in attempts to retain our youthful appearance...
We are also doubling down on SLEEP.

As our favorite London-based/native Texan photographer Lilly Husbands captures perfectly, Marfa, Texas, is equipped with one of the most enchanting comfortable/rugged hotels one might dream up. Tumble out of your car into the dust of El Cosmico, a sophisticated trailer park and campground that's the perfect place to spend the night in a yurt, under a full moon and leaden Pendelton blankets.
