I have never had an actual full professional massage before. But that definitely does not sound relaxing! Hopefully you can score another deal and go somewhere else!

The teacher that is running my yoga teacher training is actually a certified message therapist. She usually comes around to give us a little massage at the end of a hard practice and uses a similar product. I think the reaction depends on your body. Mine does the exact same thing! Last time she used it, I felt there were ice crystals on my neck and snow falling. Talk about an experience! Either way, I’m happy you had a good time; your muscles will thank you!

Have a lovely day!

You poor thing! I *hate* being cold so would have been absolutely miserable to have paid for the privilege of being frozen. Awful!!

I just want to say thank you, Tina. I’ve never really realized the impact that reading blogs like yours has had on me until tonight. I’ve always had a relatively unstable relationship with food that has gotten much better over the years. Tonight, I was at a women’s event for work at a fabulous sushi restaurant with an amazing sushi and sake dinner and was SHOCKED to hear pretty much everyone talked about calories ALL NIGHT. I guess it wasn’t until I heard it that I realized how I really, truly don’t think like that anymore. I eat in moderation and enjoy life and food and don’t deprive myself. Tonight, the food was good but I certainly didn’t overdue it and it was just such a wake up call to how horrible it is when women focus solely on negative and forget to enjoy life … so, thank you!

I once had a massage from Massage Envy and the lady had long fake fingernails and chewed gum the whole time. Oh, and she told me that I had an extra bone in my shoulder :/

Eh, that’s rather awkward… the first (and last) time I had a massage, the masseuse did this weird facial thing which involved icy balls of glass, on my face. I guess it’s a summer thing??

Oh man, that sucks about your massage. It sounds like she wasn’t really paying attention.

I’ve had many weird massages I’ve had some neck and shoulder problems for the past couple of years, so I go fairly regularly for that but I still get the full-body ones. Sometimes if it’s a man, it’s just awkward! Anyway, I think more people should go for massage- esp considering the response I always get (which I’m sure you have, too) – people act like it’s something *they* can’t do, like it’s just a luxury. I budget for it because it’s for my health! Anyone with muscle issues or injuries understands that, though.

Sorry about the bad massage experience.
I love your Stonyfield water bottle!
