i had one of the best days yesterdays and i totally needed it. ladies, you can vouch for me. every few weeks we get into one of those moods where a good crying fest sounds really good, cookies and cream ice cream is the only answer and you just hate men in general. can i get an amen?!
well i was just coming out of that mood this week when wednesday appeared. i spent the morning and early afternoon at elle comm speaking with some representatives from fashion houses like canali, armani exchange, balenciaga, bvlgari, david yurman and hugo boss for an event our team is promoting. seriously, how cool is that?
then i made my way over to the se spa at the se hotel downtown. i had written a few pieces on the hotel's spa for discoversd here and here and here and the spa director offered an Indian Swara treatment. my esthetician was amazing. she guided me through a questionaire to find out what ayurvedic dosha i was. i'm somewhere in between a pitta and kapha. she said that i have a ton of energy, schedule too many things in my days and sometimes find it hard to make time for myself. yup, that's about right.
the treatment was amazing. it started off with a steam in my personal sauna, then an abayanga, where warm oil slowly dripped from above onto my hair and the perimeter of my forehead during the shirodhara process. i have this weird sensitivity at the nape of my neck. if i was a dude, i would have totally gotten a boner :) while the oil was soaking into my hear, my esthetician tavi gave me the best scalp massage. she scratched my head, adjusted my spine and pulled my hair from either direction. and i'm always down for that kind of treatment. the treatment ended with a massage with ayurvedic oils, an application of powdered herbs and minerals that turned into a scrub and a detoxifying body wrap. as i laid there, tavi gave me a headset and the massage bed beneath me began to vibrate in sync with the bass of the music. amazing. the sounds started out as smooth instrumental lullabies and then turned into a latin dance party all of the sudden. it was so intense and my body was all sweaty from the wrap. it was seriously better than sex. mind-blowing, and i just had to lay there! i rinsed off under a waterfall shower head and i felt like a totally new woman.
three hours later i came up to the surface brighter, more relaxed and totally rejuvenated. but just as soon as i took a cleansing breath of air, i was already on my way to see company of thieves and wendy darling at the belly up.
the show was totally amazing. i fell in love with a drummer and stole my very first set list. i think i rocked it on my first concert review and the link on thedeadhub is coming soon and i'll be posting it shortly along with some amazing shots from the photog. but for now, here's a little music video to lure you in:
