Rec | TREAT YO SELF TOP FIVES

😃

-Day pass at da sauna. This is my big “u deserve a break” ticket item as it’s expensive. but going back and forth from cold plunge < > sauna fixes me for at least a few days. -Pastry, specifically at Librae or Radio while in nyc. Anything flaky, really. I’m a raging slut for anything croissant-like or forged from puff pastry. -Bad tv... speaks for itself… its like a punishment and a reward rolled into one….. -Books and records I guess. Any physical media shopped-for in person since it’s kinda the experience itself that’s the “treat yourself” rather than just the item -Taco Bell. Similar to bad tv, this one is something that feels somewhat self destructive so I only let myself have it if I’m already depressed. Like if I already feel bad how much worse could Taco Bell make it? Oh I’ll shit my pants? Ok well maybe then I’ll have something *real* to worry about instead of existentialism or metacognition about the existentialism or whatever useless grievance has me in the doldrums that day.

What’s your pick for da sauna (in New York?). Just got a leg tat and it’s been the worst not being able to exercise or bathe this week so I’m lining it up for the near future!

tortitude ok so I am a bathhouse frequenter (both Williamsburg and Flatiron locations) but looking to check out Othership too. I find that Russian Turkish Baths can be crawling with cliquey finance bros if you go at the wrong time and I haven’t been to Spa 88 but I think I’m generally willing to pay slightly more for a certain ambiance (not like I’m going that frequently anyway). I’ve heard really good things about QC and meaning to check that out too but think that’s more of a day trip vibe than just an afternoon/evening activity. Happy schvitzing ☺️🧖 (once ur tat is all healed up 🤙)

"treat yourself" top 5

• a new vinyl record for the collection
• new clothes that you don't need (especially sneakers)
• tickets to a concert or sporting event (NBA/NFL game or ATP/WTA tournament)
• two packets of instant noodles because one isn't enough
• dining out for a nice meal once a week (shit's expensive)

Top five treats

- Cinema trip (esp in the afternoon) - Getting my nails done. This is even better since I stopped going to the place where the lady is rough with the buffer - Buying secondhand clothes on EBay. I really like the 90s Made in USA Stussy T-shirts: they’re just the right length and fit and have a nice worn-in look - Morning spent reading in bed - Eating out on a whim. My new office is next to Chinatown and the last time I forgot my lunch I went and ate in a restaurant window instead of buying a sad sandwich and it vastly improved the day

Pocari sweat

“Bone broth this” “Liquid IV that” ok well consider: pocari sweat 🤔🧐 the thinking man’s electrolyte beverage. no idea what’s in this shit but tastes great and makes me feel slightly less like shit. Great for if ur like me and find drinking water for survival/regular organ function “boring” and “lacking whimsy”
