Ode to a Massage Parlor



I felt it necessary to take some time out and profess my love for massages. When I got preggers, my good amiga, Katherine, took me to Massage Envy for a cheap(er) guest massage. I fell IN LOVE with massages. I immediately signed up for a monthly membership. I tried to go monthly when I was “with child” because I knew it would help with the pains that are pregnancy; I did well with that for the most part. But then post-partum, I fell off the wagon. Motherhood and wife-dom (I may have just made that word up) just became more important than taking care of myself. I might have gone once every two months (even though I was paying monthly, and accruing quite a few massages that I wasn’t using).

But lately, I’ve been going again. I should probably thank the new therapist I’m going to. She is AMAZING. My muscles are much less tense, and I honestly feel the stress melting away. I’m hoping this is a habit I can keep up with!

Anyway, if you haven’t partaken in a massage lately, do so! It’s such a great “you” time activity.
