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.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Wi Spa for the first time this past Sunday, and all I can say is every penny spent is worth it. $30 for full access to 6 different saunas, 3 baths, showers, a restaurant (with decent food and reasonable prices) and a "sleeping room" with mats, pillows and blankets on a heated floor. I went with a couple of friends after a trip to the beach. We arrived sandy and ready for a bath at 9:30 pm, took showers, had ramen and smoothies at the restaurant, went back downstairs for hours of soaking heating and cooling our bodies at various lengths of time. We didn’t leave until 1:30 am. This place is an institution that should should be celebrated. Can't wait to come back!

after growing up in LA my whole life hearing about Wi Spa, i finally went for the first time this past week. there is something so special and ancient about getting naked together to clean ourselves. i feel this way when i listen to live music at a bar, i think about how long people have been doing this activity for and it fills me with this sense of pride and joy i relish because it’s rare to feel so good about being human. it’s nice to feel a part of a thousands of years long legacy i’m heavily tattooed and hairy so i was nervous about being naked but no one was judgmental or strange, all the opposite. i saw every kind of person of every age and size and identity. i even made a friend in the hot tub! it felt good to have my naked body feel so casual, so understated. all the amenities were incredible. the massage i got was out of this world and so worth the price (always tip!!) oh and the food in the cafe was delicious!!! all in all it was a perfect night that i will be forever grateful for ❤️ .5 photo gave me 5head 😀

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

Libby is and forever will be THAT GIRL and I recently discovered you can subscribe to basically any magazine via the newsstand feature. I am really enjoying flipping through NYmag and trashy celeb mags like Us Weekly on my phone—it feels like all the guilty pleasure of scrolling though social media but infinitely more fun and less draining. I also like reading food mags and the New Yorker!

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
