I grew up in a Vietnamese family where my mother and grandmother often reminded me:
“Try not to drink too many cold beverages. Women should keep their bodies warm.”
To be honest, when I was younger, I didn’t pay much attention.
A cold drink on a hot summer day sounded much more appealing.
But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to see those words differently.
Maybe it wasn’t really about the tea.
Maybe it wasn’t even about the temperature.
Maybe it was their way of saying:
“Take care of yourself.”
In many Asian cultures, warmth is associated with comfort, nourishment, and care.
A warm bowl of soup when you’re tired.
A warm blanket when you’re sick.
A warm cup of tea when life feels busy.
That’s one reason we still serve hot herbal tea at Jimmy Nail Salon, even during the summer.
Not because we expect everyone to give up iced coffee or cold drinks.
Life is meant to be enjoyed.
But if you’ve already had your iced latte, your smoothie, or your cold drink somewhere else today…
Come sit with us for a little while.
Let us offer you a warm cup of tea.
A small pause.
A quiet moment.
A gentle reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes, it begins with something as simple as a warm cup held between your hands. ☕🌿
