Stressed Out? Just Steam Your Lady Parts!

I literally typed out 18 different titles to this post.

As some of you know, I get all my news from a site called Refinery 29. It's a treasure trove of celeb updates, fashion tips and all around girly shit but it also has real news stories like the fact that TLC is coming out with a new album (how pumped are you tho?) Sometimes tho, there is a article with a title that makes me do a double take.

Enter: Vaginal Steaming - The New Xanax?

Yes. THAT is what the title of the article is.

Like, when you see this on your bloglovin feed you don't fucking skip it.

Also, I wonder who "liked" that one..
Refinery29 was recapping a post from Popsugar which was recapping an episode (stay with me) of Tia & Tamera (yes, the Sister, Sister chicks) where they got the treatment done at a spa. Anyway, I read about it. I mean I'm a pretty anxious, stressed out person. Also I was pretty confused because at first I read it as "Vaginal Streaming" which sounded horrible and possibly invasive and definitely like something I wanted to NEVER try but definitely know about.

Basically, it's a "centuries old Korean treatment" affectionatly known now as "V-steam" where you "perch over a bottomless (?!magic!?) pot of boiling water infused with herbs for about 20 to 45 minutes." aka solid squat workout. Best part? You can either go nuddy pants OR wear a very attractive floor lenght skirt thing that looks like a heavy plastic tablecloth that "does not breathe"

I know, I know. You're thinking why would I want to do this? Besides the great fashion opportunity, this treatment is supposed to reduce stress, ease PMS and possibly increase fertility. Obviously there is not one bit of scientific evidence saying that's the case. But there isn't any saying it's NOT the case either.

So next time you're thinking of doing a spa day with your girlfriends or you need some vag veg out time after a tough week at work, think V-steam. I mean if 300 year old Koreans are into it, shouldn't you be?


ALSO. You guys have to go check this girl out. Her name is Tina and I love her. She's hilarious and she's new to blogging and I know y'all will like her. She's not sponsoring me, she didn't ask me to do this but if you like reading my blog you're DEFINITELY gonna like reading hers. SHE'S AWESOME. Go visit her at Joey's Mom Has Got It Going On. Really tho, do it. It's more than worth it.

  13. That is so... bizarre. How can anyone believe that it has any medical value? And people pay for it? Can't you boil your own water and buy your own tablecloth?
