My Newest Indulgence

I feel so relaxed… Its amazing what a sprinkle of Epson salt and some drops of aromatic foaming bubble bath can do for your body and soul. It came recommended to me after my first visit to see a masseuse and I am so glad that I heeded her advice! Literally after stepping out of the bath and drying off, I could feel the stress, tension, tightness and my knots just melt away. I just collapsed onto my bed and felt myself turn into jello (in a good way).

So, I’ve been feeling incredibly homesick lately. Don’t really know what the triggers were but home just seems so far away. Hopefully this is just a phase. But I miss the beach, the palm trees, the weather, the food, my friends, my old haunts… but mostly my family. I miss their raucous laughter, lively banter, affectionate kisses, and suffocating bear-hugs. Evening walks with my parents. Facials and shopping with my sisters. Morning kisses for my brother. Meandering conversations with my halmoni.
