I need to go! Every time I get a massage I think oh I really should do this once a month and then next year I think the same thing!

Hahahaha @ thinking the same thing next year.

Yeah I don’t do it nearly enough as I need to. There’s so many styles too, I usually get Swedish or Deep Tissue but there’s funky ones with bamboo sticks and other goodies. Ever tried one of those?

I haven't because I go so rarely I just need a deep massage! But I'd love to.

I’d like to get a massage every week but it’s not affordable so I opted for weekly acupuncture & try to do a massage once a month. Hydrotherapy is next on my list. Thx u for sharing your experience. There’s a spa like this in VA that I want to visit. I’ve been enjoying this series.

Thanks so much for saying that Sherrell, it makes me happy to know you’re enjoying the journey.

Acupuncture intimidates me - I’m so scared I’ll get comfy and forget and roll over with them still on me 🥲

Acupuncture is a wonderful healing modality. You can work with your practitioner to make sure you don’t rollover & have them fall out. 😊

I love the spa too, my favorite treatments are sound baths, facials, massages, and pedicures. A lot of women don’t enjoy the experience and describe it as boring, I say give me a boring spa day every week, I will nit complain.

Same, sis, bring on the boring vibes!

A friend was just telling me about how much she enjoys sound baths. It’s a treatment I haven’t tried yet but am certainly eager to experience.

They are so realaxing, drink lots of water afterwards, they can dehydrate (believe it or not), and yes, the hiring every other month if possible!

Wow, dehydrate. I didn’t know it was like that but it makes sense since sound waves move water. You taught me something new.

And prepare for the best night of rest ever - literally you will sleep like a newborn afterwards!

I loved the access to a cold plunge. A way to dip the toes and have a sample of the experience. Also a great dare if on a date.

I am soooo jealous but instead of walking in my envy, I'll simply live vicariously through y'all!

It checked all the necessary boxes but left things to be desired. I’ll let you know when to be jels for real lol.
