seriously!
I can't bus it back to nyc every 2 weeks to get my $20 mani/pedi! its just not realistic. i mean OF COURSE i know there are nail salons in boston, but i don't know what to expect. I know that when i walk into NAILS i can expect to be greeted by a unintentionally angry sounding korean lady in a cat apron asking me what i want & telling me to "pick a polish!".
Sometimes they can be a lil harsh, & almost always complain about the lack of a tip from some customers ( i always tip!...so they don't hate me), but its the treatment that comes with a $20 mani/pedi with the good nail polish - totally worth it!
is there a 50% off sushi place in boston? because there are tonssss in lower manhattan! yes, they sometimes have a B rating & sasha b. & i totally saw someones soup come from down the street but i mean its 50% off! i almost neverrr want to pay full price for sushi again!
eyebrow waxing??? NEVER!
eyebrow threading??? ALWAYS!
& its just right across the street & nipa always doesss a great job! im not entirely sure that her name is nipa but the shop is called "nipa's eyebrow threading" & shes the best one so it MUST be named after her. i loved being recognized, i love the dirty but desperate looks the other ladies give me because i alwaysss wait for her to be done threading some womans chin despite how available they are.
these are the things i will miss!
but i guess this what comes with relocating. since i plan to actually make boston my home *gags* for the next 2 years & not just the place i live during the semester, i'm going to need acceptable substitutes...
& obviously i'm going to need a lil help!
i need!
a nail salon
an eyebrow threading spot
a hair salon (i'm black! soooo lets def keep that in mind)
a yoga studio (i currently pay $0 for yoga & until yttp gets their act together & opens up a studio in boston i'll have to actually pay something now but lets try to keep the cost as low as possible)
a cheap BUT good sushi place - last time i was in boston i went to that JP seafood place with jo. it was actually really good but NOT 50% off sooooooo...
hmmm what else?
a thai restaurant --- its my favorite food!
a doctor, a dentist...a therapist? (JK!...O_o..)
i'm sure this list will continue to grow.
this is why i'm moving a month before classes start. before i start living in libraries & books, i'm going to need time to explore & get comfortable. i think once i have all my routines in place i should be aye-oh-kay!
so, boston-ers, your help is greatly appreciated!
