Sometimes this blogging caper requires you to google some really weird shit.
Take this morning, for instance, when a blog reader (hi Evette!) left a message on the blog’s Facebook page saying she was ‘surprised (and slightly disappointed) that you haven’t blogged about this yet ;)’ with a link to an article about Gwyneth Paltrow and her current interest in facials.
The link wasn’t working, so I googled it, which to my surprise led me to a wide variety of articles all banging on about Gwyneth’s love for a new thing called a Mugworth V-Steam.
Intrigued, because a) doesn’t Mugworth sound like we all need to jump on board the Hogwarts Express for some sort of Harry Potter based magic? and b) what the hell is a V-Steam?, I set about doing a bit more google based research.
Turns out, in GPal’s very short (and sweet? I guess so if steamed vaginas are your thing) blog post, she tells her readers about a recent visit to some fancy spa in Korea:
the real golden ticket here is the Mugworth V-Steam: You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. It is an energetic release—not just a steam douche—that balances female hormone levels. If you’re in LA, you have to do it.
Right. Well, thanks for that Gwyneth.
Naturally, in the interest of reader research, I googled the spa Gywnie was referring to and just look at what I found!
Um, I’m sorry, but is this Mugworth V-Steam thing a group situation thing?!
Call me old fashioned, but when I like to visit a day spa I generally a) like to leave my undies on and b) avoid having to pay large amounts of coin so I can sit half naked on a plastic seat with two of my girlfriends either side of me!
Thank GOD I don’t live in LA, because this is definitely something I don’t ever want to have to do. Although Pam’s birthday is coming up and I am a bit stuck for gift ideas…..
Would you ever get a V-Steam? And do you think Pam would like one for her birthday?*
*May or may not have asked that question to completely wind Pammy up. Stand by for her text message any minute now 😉
