Have you ever had a massage before? It’s one of my favorite things in the world, if it’s 5 minutes long or 90 minutes long. Of course I prefer the latter, but I’ll get what I can!

Massage therapy has been around for ages and is a therapy for the mind, body and spirit. If you’ve had a massage, you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say that it feels like you’re on a vacation when you get a massage. Massage therapy has been used to treat and cure a range of disturbances in the body, from anxiety to Parkinson’s.

My favorite place to go to is CloudMover Day Spa. I’ve had my fair share of massages in Orange County and CloudMover is at the very top of my list. If you’re wanting to give the gift of relaxation, see the gift certificates they have available, and while your in, get a massage!

There are so many people that love to prop their feet up after a long day at work, and this includes me! After I’ve been at work all day, nothing feels better! It’s even better when there’s a massgage involved. There are SO many pressure points in the feet and their effects can be seen and felt all throughout the body. Now, since I don’t always have my man home and willing to rub my feet for 20 minutes to a half hour (who does!?) you can imagine my excitement when I came across this kneading Shiatsu foot massager.  I use it all the time, and my husband is thankful for that. It kneads, rolls, and alleviates so much pressure. It has two levels of pressure to accommodate your personal preferences.

This would make a fantastic gift for anybody–man, woman, young, old…you name it! I love that you can take it with you for traveling as well!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and is just around the corner. Are you ready? If not, or I found the product that you can get for the one you love. This herbal shoulder pack used therapeutic moist heat to relieve stress, aches, and pains. There is a combination of twelve different herbs packed inside of this product. When heated, it provides an amazing aromatherapy experience.

I have one of these (I got it for Christmas) and I love it! Everybody experiences stress, busyness, and chaos in their lives. This shoulder pack helps to relieve some of that. This can even be used WHILE at work, not just after! This also comes in a green color, if you don’t think your man wants to sport pink around.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I can’t believe that this time of year has already come and that it’s already practically over! I have celebrated 5 Christmases in the past 3 days and I am worn out. It’s exhausting to travel, host, clean, plan, wrap gifts, shop, and more. It is, however, extremely rewarding to be able to spend Christmas with my family and friends. I wouldn’t take any of it back!

So, after the holidays have quieted down and all is said and done, I ask you to take some time for yourself and give yourself a gift of relaxation! This is what I plan to do in the next day or two, and I can’t wait! This could mean laying on the couch and catching up on your TiVo shows, reading a great book, eating leftovers, taking a long, hot bath, or just taking an extra hour and sleeping in. It’s important to take time for yourself during the holidays, so spoil yourself! Have a great day everybody, and I hope Christmas was everything you wanted and more!

I love treating myself to some time at my favorite day spa. I go to Cloud Mover Day Spa once a month to relax and have my skin and body rejuvenated. I can’t tell you all how much I love my time there. It feels as though I’m on a mini vacation while I am there. I leave feeling refreshed.

If you are looking for a great gift to give somebody that you feel deserves a few hours of relaxation, consider giving them a gift certificate to Cloud Mover Day Spa for a body treatment. They can get a custom body scrub, a firming and toning body wrap, or a detoxifying and hydrating body wrap. The staff at Cloud Mover understands just how important great skin care is.

This would make a great gift for a birthday of your mom, sister, friend, girlfriend, aunt, wife, or anybody else who you feel deserves a day “away” with movie star treatment!
