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 shitās 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.
Iāve 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 themāAlex, 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 sheās studied the lymphatic system because her technique was very strategic in every part of the body, I could feel fluids moving, bones cracking, blood circulatingā¦basically everything I could ever need in a massage. Iāve 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! Iām 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).

I got a 6 min massage for $2!!! It was great. All my stress melted away. Sitting in your chair publicly getting a massage while people walk past and look at you definitely feels very silly and embarrassing but itās an exercise in humility

I am also not a massage girlie but have been wanting to get into them more. Have had this tab open for so long, and never been to these spots, but probably a good place to start: https://heavies.substack.com/p/four-amazing-massage-spots-in-nyc

Thatās whatās up:
1- going outside and admiring the vibrancy of nature post rain
2- making the craziest face possible in the mirror
Whatās up with that?:
1- if asked why ai is bad for the environment, could anyone (non science/cs background) explain in an accurate way without googling it in real time - and cite credible sources to this statement/what information even is real/do it matterĀ even if the most brain rotted of all of us boycott using chatGPT if the overlords make you opt in automatically??? at what rate is this unethical form of consumption going to start being visualized? Do we even know this??? So many questions that unfortunately wont be answered by an infographic
It is what it is:
1- Instagram stories of Israel committing a massacre and ending ceasefire immediately followed by āhappy birthday Jessicaš©·ā as what we consume as the new normalĀ

Honestly those big tubs of spinach are classically goated. Truly so versatile! I've been putting them in an omelette every morning, in smoothies, and then randomly throwing into my dinner dishes. Yesterday I stir fried onions, ground beef, spinach and threw a fried egg on top with rice. Whenever I buy spinach, I use it all up ... can't say the same about arugula or kale tbhzies.

I swear to god these movies changed my life... relatable to the current state of the world in every way.
I think I have Jedi-like qualitiesā¦ the force is strong with meā¦ or at least my cat Peanut Butter gives Yoda vibes downā¦ anyways
I have never experienced such a nuanced villain in a sci-fi series such as this one
In war, all bad is bad
Both sides have their darkness... it is about being anti all things bad as opposed to choosing a side
