Number 2 - lashings of massage oil

I have had a very blonde week, first I managed to buy train tickets for the wrong day and now I seem to have booked myself a massage.
Complementary does not apparently mean free when it is termed as ‘complementary health’ coooooooooool, you could have told me that earlier as I have now booked myself into a massage on Monday. Oh well I’ll just starve for the week or live like a hermit. The website used was www.thepracticerooms.co.uk and my masseuse was Christina Warren (just to do some shameless plugging)


But as the well-known saying goes, (I made it up but it is now well known as your reading it) when in doubt blog about it, or better still put as one of things in your bucket list.

So when Monday comes around I think better have a shower before I go don’t want to look homeless, I shouldn’t have bothered as my hair now looks like it’s been stuck in a vat of oil. I could go into detail about the massaging process but I’ll spare you. 

I was only technically paying for a Indian head massage but I ended up getting a whole upper body works. Definitely not complaining as I quite possibly spent that hour in heaven. 

Let it be known that you will often be tense around areas of scar tissue. For example, the back of my neck was very tense as was the area around my left shoulder blade/ arm. Another area of sensitivity was that I have a very tense bum.  Good to know. 

After a massage you should drink lots and lots of water as the metabolic waste (read fat) around your muscles has been moved around so that is now my task for the day. 

I have picked up lots of tricks of the trade today, now I just need some willing volunteers.....
