I know... I haven't been around much. This summer went by so fast! I spent most of it hanging with the kids, because my oldest (my daughter, who is now 4!) just started pre-school yesterday and I wanted to spend every available second with her, and my little guy, too. :-) Plus, who wants to sit in front of a computer when its 90 degrees out and there's a swing set and a kiddie pool in the backyard?
I will have more time in the coming months to keep this lil' ol' blog updated, but for now I just have a quick question for anyone who cares to comment. My birthday is coming up on Monday, and I'm turing 30!!! I'm actually kind of excited, and don't really have too much anxiety about leaving my 20s behind. Not too much, anyway. I'm totally going to rock 30. My hubby is taking the day off and got me a gift certificate for a full body massage! Woo hoo! I've only had one massage in my life, and it was akward and wierd, so I'm pretty much starting from scratch. I have one big question... do you strip down to your birthday suit or leave anything on? I don't want this to cause more stress than it is meant to relieve! So what is it, people? Naked or not?
Oops! Edited to add: And would a novice massage-getter be better off with a Swedish massage or a deep-tisssue? Pros and cons of each? Thanks for any advice!! :-)

i've only had one massage in my life, and it was weird. i don't think the lady washed her hands after eating because i could smell her dinner as she massaged my face. yuck! and when it as all over, she whispered something over my head, and rang a bell. weird.
ReplyDeletei did work as a receptionist at a spa, and they preferred women to take off their bras, but didn't care if they left their panties on. i was also told to warn first timers about how deep tissue massages could be painful if they weren't used to them.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! almost. :)
Perfect response - Thanks for the info! And super gross about being able to smell her food. NOT RELAXING! Yeah, my first was super akward and awful. That's why I want more information so I can enjoy it and not lay there the whole time wondering what I'm doing wrong!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes! Kind of excited to jump into a whole new decade. I think I may spend all weekend streaming "Thirtysomething" on Netflix, you know, so I can study up and what-not. Learn how adults act 'n stuff.
