How much is a massage in Central IL???? The place I go to has 1/2 hour and 1 hour massages; the 1 hour is $70 for the massage, foot and back exfoliation, and a dry scrub all over. It is HEAVENLY! Who said you need to take a whole day at the spa???? Just a few things to pamper yourself for an hour or two should do the trick.

If you were closer I would go with you too!!!!

The tub sounds like a good idea too; get one of those inflatable bath pillows, play some relaxing music, have a glass of wine and add some aromatic oils to the bath to indulge the senses........ and a baseball bat nearby to keep the DH out!

Happy Anniversary! Mine was this past Friday!

Maybe enroll in some Yoga classes or some meditation classes, or even Tai Chi!

Last fall I won a gift certificate for a deluxe manicure. DS got married a couple of weeks ago, so I finally used the gift certificate for my manicure so that my nails would be nice for the wedding. Having never been to this place, Iasked what a deluxe manicure entailed. They pulled out their menu and started listing everything. For nearly the same price ($2 more) they had a basic manicure and pedicure package, so I asked if I could change and they said "sure." Now I cannot imagine wat services could be more deluxe than what I got!? Foot & leg massage, hand and arm massage. Scrubs and of course pretty nails. I was kind of stressed getting it all done as the wedding was later that afternoon, but if I had not been worried about time, it would have been oh so relaxing. They gave me a choice of having first one and then the other, or both at the same time. For time's sake, I choise to do both at once. If I'd had spare time, it would have been very relaxing to have one after the other. Cost? If I hadn't had the gift certificate, it would have been $34.

We've only ever had one date in five years, kids ect.. I'm sure you know the story

but on our date night, it was just like I was young again.. Bath shaved legs, hot oil teratment for hair.. Did my nails, picked out sexy undies, a nice outfit.. Make-up (I seldom wear) I even had a glass of wine while getting ready.. Felt like a total princess just being able to take the time to do these things, while not in a hurry.. Maybe that;s all you need, just a bit of time at home by yourself.. couldn't believe how good it felt to take care of myself.. not babies.. and after your week last week, maybe just a bit of time alone would help...

I talk a nice long walk. Anytime I am stressed or start to get depressed I take a dog and take a walk. Or take all the dogs and go walk in the woods, sometimes I go by myself. It calms me down, makes me feel better.
