Now that the pods are officially closed and we have binge-watched season 1 of Love is Blind Habibi😭, it’s time to end the era of couch potato and pay *serious* attention to those eye bags.
We’ve done all the hard work for you (you can thank us later) and scoured the socials of this season’s it-habibi’s to deliver the *coolest* wellness hotspots at the top of their list (and now ours).
Lucky Punch

Opening its Boxpark gym v soon, grab your wraps, gloves and headset and get ready to take out those frustrations about Love Is Blind Habibi series 1 being over, on the punch bag.
