Jane Fondahas been standing up for what she believes in long before hashtags and Instagram challenges.
I don’t smoke pot to get high anymore, Fonda tells SELF.
I’m totally alone three days a week.
And I love being alone.
I have my dog.
And I’ve never minded being alone.
I do not get lonely.
I read a lot.
I write a lot.
I’m active on social media.
I prepare for myFire Drill Fridays[a weekly virtual rally for climate change].
So I like being alone.
The rest of the week, there’s a pod.
So I’m not 100% alone all of the time.
But when I say I’m alone, I mean there’s nobody in bed with me.
Another husband liked to write during the night.
Two of my three husbands were night owls.
So we didn’t often get in bed at the same time.
I sleep, on average, nine hours a night.
My dad always told me as you get older, you don’tneed to sleep as much.
I find it’s not true for me.
I really don’t do well unless I get a lot of sleep.
I know it’s good for me, so I’m glad that’s the case.
I’m an early-to-bed kind of person.
Around 6 p.m I put Weleda Skin Food on my legs and arms.
To clean my face off, I use a L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Makeup Removing Cleansing Towelette.
It comes in a little package.
So I use that.
And then I have a tonic, from Mila Moursi.
She is a French woman who has products.
Sometimes I use Uncle Bud’s Organic Hemp Oil Overnight Face Mask.
note: Fonda is an Uncle Buds spokesperson.]
Sometimes I use a product, again, from Mila Moursi.
It’s called the Anti-Wrinkle Cream.
And that’s what I put on my face.
I don’t have a husband or a lover, so I can kind of do whatever I want.
I’m usually in bed pretty early.
I have a bed where you could lift up the head and lift up the feet.
You know, like a hospital bed.
It’s a very comfortable mattress.
So I raise the head and I raise the feet, and I start to watch television.
I always watch Chris Hayes at 5 p.m., if I’m ready.
Otherwise, I never miss Rachel Maddow.
And then sometimes after her I watch Lawrence O’Donnell.
And then I watchespecially now, because I’m a member of the AcademyI look at movies.
Either I watch DVDs of movies that I’ve been sent, or I watch streaming things.
It’s Uncle Bud’s Roll-On Pain Cream.
Somebody told me about these blankets.
They give them to people who suffer from anxiety, which I don’t.
I just like the feeling of weight on me.
So she gave me a 15-pound weighted blanket.
I go to sleep so easily, and I sleep all night, and it’s divine.
I go to sleep with a vape pen, made by the company Dosist.
And it’s called Sleep.
So it doesn’t get you high, but it’s four puffs and I’m asleep.
I’m kind of obsessed with hemp.
Not for the reasons that you might think, you know, because it makes you high.
Because I don’t smoke pot to get high anymore.
And I would be hungover the next day.
But the next day I would need to take a nap during the lunch break.
I don’t need to do that anymore.
When I wake up, I don’t have any need to sleep during the day.
I turn the temperature down to 68 and I turn the fan on so the air is always moving.
It’s hard for me to sleep unless there’s air moving.
Preferably cool air, so it’s nice that my bedroom has a ceiling fan.
Well, I actually installed itit wasn’t there before.
There’ve been a few earthquakes, but they weren’t big.
That’s about it.
