Happy New Year, OKC fam! Mel and Lestari here, kicking off January with a theme we’re calling “Wellness.” It’s all about slowing down, recharging and starting 2025 on the right note. After the whirlwind of the holiday season, we needed a little TLC and ways to find our chill.
We're excited to share our top picks for wellness spots and activities in OKC that will help you feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the new year!
Where to Recharge: The Wandering Clay Wellness Spa
Did someone say “spa day”? Oh, you know we couldn’t resist! We recently made our second trip back to The Wandering Clay, and it was every bit as magical as we remembered. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill spa—it’s a holistic retreat where every treatment feels deeply intentional.
Here’s what went down during our latest visit:
Massage:
Intention-Therapeutic Massage, which perfectly mixes techniques like myofascial release and deep-tissue work. It’s designed to truly listen to your body, melting away stress while offering lasting relief.
Facial:
Skin Ritual Revive + Glow Facial was another highlight. It felt like a reset button for our skin, using organic herbs to leave us glowing and vibrant.
Foot Soak + Tea Time:
No spa day is complete without a cozy foot soak, herbal tea, snacks and yes, lots of girl talk!

Where to Eat
Pho—warm up with broth
What’s better than a steaming bowl of pho on a frosty January day? With simmering broth crafted fresh daily, Pho Lien Hoa hits the spot every single time. Their North Penn location is our go-to!
Psst: You’ll probably spot Lestari slurping noodles there on any given week.
