When I feel an anxiety spiral I find it really helpful to massage my feet with oil to reground and remind myself that I have a body.

Hands down the best full body massage in LA. Argue with the wall.
I grew up going to the best $50 an hour full body massage parlors in Garden Grove. I also have had double scoliosis (my spine is the shape of an S in my back and in my neck lol thx genetics) since I was 12, so my shit’s all fucked up. My life is full of either excitement or anxiety and I naturally carry my stress and anticipation through my posture and it manifests in me feeling tense at all times, particularly in my left shoulder. I would say I have pretty strong credentials for knowing what a great and effective massage feels like.
Massages are extremely important to my self-care routine and a necessary reoccurring monthly expense. I will quite literally be unwell without them and try to go at least twice a month.
I’ve been to every hole in the wall massage spot in Northeast LA and nothing has beat Yolo Foot Spa. Yes, they do full body massages, not just foot massages.
For $65, it is truly unbeatable. My stamp cards are filling up and I have 3 names pencilled in on them—Alex, Yoyo and the GOAT, Helen.
Holy f*ck, I went to see Helen for a 60 min massage and had the most insane knot in my left shoulder and she did some crazy technique that literally rolled it away and it was gone within 10 minutes of the massage. I believe she’s studied the lymphatic system because her technique was very strategic in every part of the body, I could feel fluids moving, bones cracking, blood circulating…basically everything I could ever need in a massage. I’ve also been to $200 massages and to places that specialize in wood therapy and lymphatic drainage and have left them feeling unimpressed. Yolo Foot Spa is the real deal! I’m a Yolo head for life! Thank me later.
Tip: bring cash because it costs more on card (a tip I literally never follow myself lol).

Don’t get me wrong, I love going to the beach in the summer but something about swimming holes hits different. There’s a sense of real nostalgia and joy that captures the true essence of summer. I grew up in Minnesota also known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, so maybe this is a way to connect with my roots. There are lots of swimming holes to choose from even as close as New Jersey. One of my favorites is more-so a lake but it’s surrounded by mountains and has a hot dog stand. It’s called Bellayre Beach and it will make you feel like a kid again.

I believe it is important for everyone to be gainfully employed. We must contribute to a productive society. The more emails we send, the more productive the society will be. The more productive society is, the more opportunities we will have to get promoted.
As my unemployed father always said to us before he left my family to start a new one, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
