my one monthly treat , also known as a recurring payment membership, is my Thai massage therapist. It’s like getting a massage and physical therapy at the same time, and for those of us with chronic pain and inflammation, there couldn’t be a better combo. yank my legs like they’re jerky, please!
The concept was totally foreign to me until I started dating my new england bf who grew up with these outhouse-like showers during the summer. Treating it like a regular shower vs rinse-after-swim shower changes the game - it feels soooo invigorating to take a steamy shower and look up to see the trees and sky above and rocks below. 😌 just get used to being naked in a box outside and you won’t regret it.
Ok - maybe not a poem and I’m stretching the boundaries of this prompt, but it’s an excerpt I always come back to. “I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now. I suppose life always ends badly for almost everybody. We must have long fingers and catch at whatever we can while it is passing near us.”
small perfume house with oil based fragrances - the sample set is affordable and so diverse! I ended up getting Rital Date and Sea, Sud, & Sun (fig perfume🚨) as full sizes
