Spaturday Night

And easy like Spa-unday morning

It’s nearly midnight and I just got the last massage slot of the night at yolo foot spa (thank you Lauren for reminding me of this gem)$65 full body WITH hot rocks AND they gave us, the graveyard shift of clients, free slices of pizza on the way out the door. Now that’s customer service!

I wanted to tap in with you all because I’ve been a little quiet this last week soaking in some amazing milestones: hitting bestseller status, locking down the final details for Finland & beyond, confirming a very fancy and exclusive spa research trip (more news on that later), having FUN making water charts and polls again, getting back into my yoga practice, seeing friends before the long trip, one favorite author telling me “you’re crushing it”, another favorite author asking to send me a copy of his forthcoming book, and prepping for full moon banya night tomorrow.

THANK YOU THANK YOU thank you THANKS!!!

I’m on cloud nine. We’ve got awesome SPA-NTENT locked in for June and July it’s going to be a deliciously hot & wet summer. In a weird “I’d like to thank the academy” fashion, I’ve got a lot of people far and wide who inspire me to get down to business and keep this whole spa show going. Plus a bit of spa news in this untraditional format <3

Emily Sundberg seeing me for the water freak I am, and YES I am drinking Loonen this week

laura reilly’s High Touch is here and already featuring some of my best substack friends: Lily Sperry Chris Gayomali Sami Reiss - dream sauna bench rotation

Lena Dunham invited me to the last stop on the Famesick tour. I laughed, cried, snuck her a spa hat, and started watching Girls again WITH my husband who has never seen it before. We’re already into season 2 while watching Industry simultaneously

Rachel Seville Tashjian is back on her newsletter grind and I couldn’t be happier. CNN should be ELATED

Julia Harrison can somehow read my brainwaves and we’ve never even met in person.

Dream Baby Press talked to me and Julia’s favorite celebrity, David Sedaris, WHO SAID HE LOVES BATHING!!!

Substack showed off their cool new pool. What does a girl have to do to convince the team up top to let me, Matt Starr, randa, Arielle Swedback, and Dia Lupo go to burning man or the gathering (of the Juggalos) in search of weird water???

Sarah Spoto had a chat with co-founder of Bathhouse, Travis, while Joe Hovde dove into the economic of big bathing (heated by big bitcoin)

Grace Abbott sent me photos from her Iceland extravaganza, I’m THIS close to booking a spot in the bathing retreat by Howl at the Moon Sauna in November

tasbeeh herwees celebrated one year of No Bad Days at Silver Lake Lounge and I got to take home cute photo strips

Carson Griffith has a FULL LIST for her first big gala event, a party I wish I could teleport. More Estelle Manor expansion news

Liz Baker Plosser covered the Aufguss champs in NYC for Culture of Bathe-ing, a movement is gaining steam

Grace Pandola wrote and art directed a fabulous internal meandering-come-doodle fest on the trials and tribulations of paper shorts/ disposable swimwear

Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons, DTCM has an updated sober stack, one of my favorite places online

ATTENTION SPAMS

Superior Saunas’ airstream model is going on tour with Bathhouse, someone in the chat asked where next and if I had to take an educated guess - they are likely hitting all the cities with locations coming soon. Philly, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles to name a few

Awe… the robots didn’t get enough money... {{weird that first link is broken? I wonder if they sponsored content at spa news}} GOOD! KEEP YOUR NON HANDS AWAY FROM MY NON HARD BODY

clearly no one consulted with them :( terrible time to launch plastic swimwear from a country who loves to aufguss. Also Bella baby, we can’t do 90% polyester (even if it’s Prada) in the yacht sauna

Speaking of, sure you saw the Alo yacht in Cannes, but did you see the Vaseline swim week boat? How about the Staud dingy? Yeah, I didn’t think so … because all the clout noise has already been filled up by Matteau V2 polka dot palazzo at Pelicano group Posta Vecchia & newcomer to the power press trip, Alémais hosted a show/trip in Menorca. The new press trip is a leisure & bathing play and some of you need a consultant (me!)

ACG (Nike?) has a BATH CAMP in Japan why must they be so ahead of the game

Being a protein princess in the rising bean economy might be a risky personality to choose as we enter WHEY shortage mode

WHEY or OUAI? Holly Thaggard (Creator of Supergoop!) announces WaterOuai, another new water brand in a “super can”, my French friends will get a kick out of this one. I hope I get to taste test it before I leave Monday night

Cadence sent me some of their magnetic packing cube things and I hate them :/

I have two Hawaii regrets: not staying here & not finding the cow cuddling field

The Hansen Dam Aquatic Center is open and I want someone to tell me about it

I missed the PAUSE studio west side thing this morning, oops. What was in the goodie bag?

Told you my news looks like this most days…

OK GOODNIGHT, GOOD MORNING, & SEE 10 OF YOU LUCKY ONES TOMORROW AT THE SECRET BANYA WITH Fluid Form

XOXO
