5 Things I Learned When Getting a Massage

My life revolves around family and work. In rare instances, I get to go out with friends. But most of the time I am in front of the computer working, tending over the kids, or looking over obligations that need to be done before another set of work piles up.  I am contended living this way, actually, I enjoy it (you could raise your eyebrows now).

I believe I have loads of obligations on my shoulders, so I have to constantly seek for that "balance".So what I do is to get myself a massage each week to feel renewed and strengthened, and boy it does its work well.  I have tried loads of establishments here offering their holy grail, from those small scale establishment to those offering their service for quite a hefty price. And here's what I learn from all this jumping-from-one-shop-to-another:

1. An expensive spa does not always guarantee good service. Everything will still boil down to that person working on you.

2. Going for those blind massage services is good, but sometimes they talk  a lot. This is not a problem if you're up for a nice conversation though.

3. Sanitation check: watch out for the linens!

4. A tip is necessary, because most of them are underpaid.

5. Always discuss with the masseuse about the type of massage you are up for. For me, I personally hate working on pressure points. So voice out your concern.
