Usually whenever I shower after the gym I’ll just shower in hot water then do a minute of cold water to finish off to help with muscles or something idk. But today cause I was feeling pretty good about myself I just blasted myself with cold water and holy shit!! The adrenaline was crazy!!!! Combined with the gym endorphins I got SUCH a rush. It also encouraged me to keep my shower short instead of dawdling like I usually do because I wanted to get the hell outta there!!! My gas and water bill will be thanking me. Maybe I should get back into the Wim Hof method.

As much as I hate to admit it, cold showers do deserve all the hype they get. I don’t think the shock factor ever goes away unfortunately, but once you’re in, it’s incredible. The feeling of a cold shower after a long workout, just waking up, or being in the sauna can and will change your whole day.

It is soooooooo hard to believe in these days when everyone is set on villainising one another because that’s just easier than empathising or understanding, and then also to not use this to slip into an “I can fix him” mindset. But I am a bell hooks babe and I believe that the true power of love is to transform us. To be loved is to be CHANGED!!!!

I saw this yesterday at Prince Charles Cinema and the final shot kinda made me wanna pump my fist in the air at this triumph of cinema but someone else had already been told off for being rowdy so I resisted

Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻
