Richelle Marty, the director of Operations of Spa Medical Spa, with her partner, Dom, in 2017 while trying to install infrared saunas at 11 Howard for an emerging window with hygherdosis, her employer at that time. “I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going when I got there the only time I had 11 Howard was going to the blond,” she says. When she asked for help, Dom, then Hotel Food and Beverage Director, came to rescue him. “It was my job to do the keys to the room, but I saw this beautiful woman standing and I played my chance and I sacrificed to help,” he says. “Or of course, I was hitting her.” Eight years later, the couple is married and waits for their first baby, a girl, at the end of July. How did they get here? Saunas, or course, blisted feet, and many products for skin and hair care. Naturally, we had to ask them everything about it to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Keep reading below.
Richelle Marty:
I am quite sure that it was I who asked Dom to go to an appointment to Kiki because that was my favorite place worldwide.
Dom Marty:
We walked from the hotel to the restaurant and my feet were killing me. This was when I was trying to be elegant, so I wore pants and a shirt with buttons with the classic Combo Oxfords and without socks 2017. My feet were so blistering. But it was a match made in the sky because after Kiki, we kissed on the roof or in an apartment building.
RICHELLE:
Some time later, I remember opening the dom bath mirror and surprised that it had a product with 20 percent glycolic acid.
Idiot:
She always mentions this. [Laughs] My friend had bought it for areas and they cooled it. I was using it regularly. Everything I knew were acne Stridex and neutrogena pads when I first moved to New York. But my friend was using Kiehl and Mer products, so those brands introduced me quite quickly. I think men feel comfortable with Kiehl because you are a single guy and you are buying to make a real turkey, it is a safe space. Stores have neon lights. [Laughs] And it is much easier to enter a Kiehl’s than a department store like Bloomingdale that has many more brands and products. But honestly, I was experimenting with some weird things.
RICHELLE:
I would end in the burning victims unit at the hospital if I used a 20 percent glycolic acid on my face. So from the beginning, I presented it to other products.
Idiot:
When I get used to the apartment for the first time, she had many things. She said: “Here, have this and this and this.” Suddenly, I had all these oils. There was a probable moment in which he was too fatty.
My soap game definitely also changed. I was using the deaf sensitive leather bar, which I would be used to, she bought me salty Swedish sea soap, which has an anchor in the packaging. Now I like Soft Services polishing bar, I like it to be sandy, and a beef bar and a madreselva bar of some farm in Nashville that Richelle took vacations.
RICHELLE:
I also got it in the clean cleaner of Sofie Pavitt, that Elizabeth Grace Hand, which we both see for facials in Ställe Studios, introduced me. He also likes the ultra ultra soft cleaner of reality, a recommendation of a facist who saw years and years ago.
Idiot:
My skin can be dried quite quickly, -it is special if I do not get moisturizers after cleaning, but I never have that problem with the reality of the face.
RICHELLE:
And loves May Lindstrom’s blue cocoon.
Idiot:
It’s the best. It keeps me hydrated, but it doesn’t make me oily. And last forever. Richelle gave me a can in early October and I am not even halfway because you need the smallest. It’s fantastic after shaving too.
RICHELLE:
Dom was real that introduced me to the rich cream of Agustín Bader.
Idiot:
I’m going to sound like a spark plug husband, but I’m a simple one. It’s just that when heroes heroes at the hotel, there were always leftover products.
When it comes to my body products, I have to shout our incredible oil.
RICHELLE:
My mother’s Indian, so he would only use Ayurvedic beauty products in me as a child. Dom and I went to India to visit the family, maybe three or four years ago. It was his first time there and he was introduced to Ayurvedic skin care stores. There is one called Forest Essentials where we find an incredible oil that is a mixture of a ton or different oils. If it was sold in the United States, it would have a lot of folders and false things, but it is very pure. You put it after exercising or sweating or something.
Idiot:
There are so many beauty things in the world. We have a photo that we taught in the apartment when we first have. You can see all kinds of things, such as high frequency glass walls, around. They introduced me to a new caliber of things as a result of who was lucky to fall in love. I started worrying more about Mff when I also with Richelle. He was a cigarette smoker and I stopped. You just start taking care of yourself when you know someone you love.
RICHELLE:
But he doesn’t use sunscreen.
Idiot:
I don’t think you need one. I have never burned. But I will commit to sunscreen as a result of prolonging my longevity and happiness of my wife, so I do not become a baseball glove.
RICHELLE:
I will have to use the supreme screen of Ultra Violette SPF 50+. I became addicted to that after someone [Editor’s note, that someone is Daise] He told us to collect it in London. Later, another friend goes on vacation in Berlin and asked him to bring me bottles.
But the credit where the credit is due: stupid was the one that taught me to take care of my hair.
Idiot:
She had, and has hair.
RICHELLE:
But I wasn’t using any product. My hair is big and curly and would let it be, but it would dry very. I also hated sleeping with products in my hair because it seemed disgusting the next day.
Idiot:
I was using Moroccanoil’s license style cream when I, which is what cools it. The hairstyle is better than the gel, I think, because it does not leave your crispy or super bright hair. I almost think you need to use a tuxedo to get the hair gel.
RICHELLE:
Maracanoil smells so well. Hey, he taught me to put it in the steam hair. It was likely that he would use half or his inventory because Hey had the full line of products. Then he had phases with Oribe and Kérastase, so I began to use them too. More recent, we use the shampoo and conditioner of the Rôz Foundation, which we learned from Reagan Baker in House of Reagan.
Idiot:
And we have landed in Paul Mitchell’s original permission. I don’t know what is in him, but your hair makes you so good. But both fortunately we have good hair genes. Our little girl is going to have big, dark and curly hair.
RICHELLE:
I come at the end of July. Stupid will be the one who discovers his routine.
Idiot:
If I can make Tiktok famous and leave my work due to my little daughter’s hair, I will do it all day.
