  • i’ve been seeing clips of this ancient roman-inspired bathhouse everywhere - and so when we were in chicago a few months ago, we decided to check it out! aire ancient baths is a bathhouse with lots of different amenities, but we were here specifically for their 6 different types of pools - from super hot 🔥, to super cold 🥶, to tepid, to jacuzzi ✨ and you know i love a good bath - we are definitely coming back next time we get a chance!!
    this video is NOT sponsored!! however, a big thank you to aire ancient baths for giving us permission to film! you can check them out here: beaire.com/en/...

      Wet sock Stockholm syndrome 😜I feel like the idea of wet suit type booties would be more tolerable. And if the point is to avoid slipping and/or spreading athlete’s foot, wouldn’t that kind of fabric make more sense than a regular sock? 🤔

    Rich people in Ancient Rome would sometimes lounge at bathhouses all day going in between the caldarium and frigidarium to get high. The shock of switching temperatures that fast is enough to make you trip

  • @simppelianna
    @simppelianna Před 5 měsíci +5

    Salt is good for skin and for hydration. It keeps skin more moist after shower and great exfoliator since it purifies and cleans. It can also preserve 🤣 so mind not to keep you too salted or you become a pickle.

    Rivers in Finland and hole in the ice experience in there.

    Reminds me of the thermal baths in... Actually, most of the thermal baths I've been to in Germany. Except they don't make you wear socks. And the steam rooms are generally some kind of tree scented. And the tepidarium might have a lazy river. And they don't mark which is the hot and which is the cold bath, which makes for hi-la-rious times when taking a friend who has never been to thermal baths, especially if it's a slow day and you can go "I'll take the right pool, you take the left and we'll chat over this here low wall."

Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
    Jesus Loves you. Trust in Him today. And go be the salt in this saltless world
