I went to the Korean spa for the first time with my bestie last night and it was a profoundly nourishing experience on every level. we were having deep heart to hearts while schvitzing it out in the sauna and it felt like my soul was being cleansed. there are these tubs of different temperatures and this basin full of mugwort water with empty bowls so you can pour it over yourself, and all these magical heated rooms with different scents and properties. I also saw people carrying giant bottles of spa water with chopped mango and mint and they were like $20 each but they looked sooo good. next time I also want to go to the Korean restaurant inside and the tea room.

I love the rooms that probably don’t “work” like a room full of purple LED lights that promote healthy blood or a hot tub full of lemons

this is so real. i went to a korean spa for the first time over a year ago and it felt so deeply healing to my soul. like touching grass but it’s fellow humans just experiencing relaxation for relaxations sake. any chance to go i take it.

Go to the spa

NYC has some really great and affordable spas. RussIan and Turkish Baths is a classic. If you go to one in KTown it means you can a nice Korean meal after

The Spa

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼

The princess diaries

this movie really defined an entire formative era of my life. I was an awkward frizzy-haired tween with glasses when this came out and I saw so much of myself in Mia. my best friend and I had the soundtrack basically memorized (Aaron Carter’s cover of Itty Bitty Little Pretty One lives rent free in my head, as does Miracles Happen by Myra). the love interest Michael (aka Robert Schartzman of Rooney fame) imprinted on my eros and continues to influence my type in masc women to this day. the movie also led me to the (superior if I’m being honest) book series, which played a HUGE role in shaping my taste and sense of humor and interest in pop culture references

Mr. And Mr. Smith (2024)

just binged it in two days and loved it. i’ve never actually seen the original with Brangelina so i can’t say how this compares, but this was smart, fun, sexy, and surreal. i need more! my only criticism is they kept making dumb mistakes that made me yell at the tv…for spies they should have known better!!

my coolest yoga teacher played this in class and I had to ask what it was after. she described it as a non-religious gospel song :)
