Sometimes, it's not a good idea to upgrade one's lifestyle if you are not sure you'll be able to sustain it. I give you this cautionary message because the fall out is how devastating it'll be to desire more of that good life and your pockets mscheews back. Eish, the pain. . This realisation revisited me recently after I experienced a professional PhD level massage from the good folks at E-Spa, @spekeresort . I'll write all about it one day. Before that, the massages I was used to are those ladies in saloons that massage the scalp after you've chopped your hair. Sometimes their hands will go beyond you head and caress your chest and shoulders. Because I didn't know better, this was good enough for me. I'd even mastered how to close my eyes to avoid the awkward moments when your eyes lock with those of the masseuse in the mirror. . Today, I chopped my hair and when the lady came to do her thing, the tragedy of my new reality hit me. As she was applying her massage oil to my scalp, I felt repulsed coz I still have good memories of the scented oils the professionals used on me. The rest of the massage basically followed this script of comparison and because of how badly it performed, I ended up being more stressed than relaxed at the end of it. Woi, I'm finished. The good stuff is not cheap and my fix from before is not good enough anymore. What is life? . There's hope though. Those E-Spa chaps told me they have gift cards in case you want to show somebarry that you care about their wellbeing and want to house them a trip to a PhD massage parlour. You pay them the dime, they give you the voucher, you spray it with perfume, wrap it and deliver this gift of love. The recipient then takes the voucher to the spa and the people there do their PhD massage magic and give them a taste of heaven. I can't believe I just wrote a how to for vouchers. . So, who wants to be my blesser?
