Treat Yourself Nicely!

It is the season to be merry, enjoy and have FUN!...but there are lots of reason to be stressed out! "It's the most WONDERFUL time of the year!" and the busiest as well. My work requires me to meet the deadlines for the students third quarter evaluation, prepare and organize student and staff's Christmas parties and other school-related activities. It does not end there, i have to list, shop, and wrap the gifts for everyone in the family, at work and for my friends. Parties are endless during December, reunions here and there, dates with friends and special 'one'. After attending over ten parties, my back feels heavy and strained. Like everyone else, I need a good relaxation and pampering.

Last December 29, me and my colleagues decided to host a Christmas party at a beach. It was fun-filled, successful and stressful! The party ended at nine in the evening. Me and my other two girl friends went straight to a Thai Massage Clinic. Yeah! a full-body Thai Massage treatment!

We went up to the loft inside the clinic. Walked through a dim-lit hallways and entered a sweet smelling room. It took several minutes before the three masseuses came in. They asked us to remove everything except underwear. The massage was great and the scented oils were terrific. It lasted for an hour and we took a nap for 20 minutes. The place was cool, the masseuses nice and the pay - perfect! It was worth spending.

It is good to loosen up after work. Breaks are good to make you breathe deeper and focus better on your work. And a full-body Thai Massage is heavenly! Happy New Year readers!
