    as an Asian living abroad, I was surprised with the struggle the first time I try to look for food container that can keep heat and seal compartment for soup. Because Western often pack salat or bread and not hot food. So I resonate with Jimmy when he pulled out those Bento box.

    Im Japanese so of course I’ve got a Hello Kitty bento . Bentos are really great for portion control. I’m going to order the spray Jimmy. I love the packable design. The SeeVees company is of course out of my size Lol but I’m on the “ Waiting List”!?! Love your comedy and this Essential share 🤙🏽Thanks:)

    I think it is vetiver. A medicinal aromatic herb that is used in southern parts of India .Nice to know it is used in hand sanitizers
