One of the big celebrity trends has been the ice bath /cold plunge over the last few years. Celebs like sci-fi star Katee Sackhoff have tried outdoor tubs and indoor tubs to chill out – figuratively, but also literally. The plunge is actually supposed to help release stress and tension in the body and improve circulation.
Candace Cameron Bure is the latest celebrity to give the chilly pastime a whirl, and she’s giving black bikini summer energy. Or at least, end of black bikini summer energy. It rained at my place yesterday and knocked some leaves that were already starting to slightly change color out of the trees.
The sky is grey and dismal and flowering plants are starting to lose their blooms. Really, over the past few days it’s been the first time I’ve felt that fall tinge in the air, as well. So I suppose it’s fitting Bure is saying goodbye to summer with a cold plunge.
Here’s her timidly getting in. Honestly, she’s in side profile, but you can kind of see her gasping as she steps into the water. She also mentioned it's 48 degrees.
I like my pool water to feel like bath water, so I can’t even imagine what this sort of experience would be like. Actually, I sort of can, because there's a second look at Bure more fully submerging herself and pushing out air as she tries to keep warm. She's hugging her hands to her chest in a way that really explains how cold the whole thing must be.
Black bikini summer has been a thing celebrities have partaken in for a whi.
