Following the Anguilla girls’ trip drama, it was time for The Real Housewives of New York City ladies to return to the city that never sleeps for some much-needed rest and recovery. Ubah Hassan hoped to bring healing and sisterhood to the group, especially after her and Erin Lichy’s big blowout in Anguilla. Ubah organized a session with her healer, Alexandra, bringing the ladies (except Brynn Whitfield, who tested positive for COVID-19) for a sound bath and meditation ceremony.

“You got WHAT put WHERE?” This was my friends’ reaction when I told them I got colon hydrotherapy. You can probably guess what this is but in case you can’t, it is a tube that puts water into your backside,in order to cleanse your colon and clean you out. Surprisingly, colon hydrotherapy has been around since the ancient times, and several wellness gurus swear by this treatment for a healthy gut. I couldn’t deny that I was curious. But while I love trying new health and wellness fads, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t freaking out before my treatment. Luckily, Alexandra Defacio, the founder and owner of Green Star Wellness, was extremely informative and did a fantastic job of putting me at ease beforehand.”

“It was her choice of jewelry, however, that imbued her ensemble with an extra-special quality. Around her neck, Holmes wore a quartz crystal pendant necklace from Green Star Wellness. Dubbed the “heart chakra” necklace, the quartz’s properties are meant to radiate love and healing, protecting the wearer against any feelings of negativity or pain. It’s a boho-chic piece, sure, but it also promotes self-care—arguably the greatest asset any item of clothing can bring. It’s already well known that decorating your home with crystals has its spiritual benefits, so why not, as Holmes has done, carry it around with you as an on-the-go fashion fix, too?”
