Diamonds are not a Girl's Best Friend

Say "I Love You" with a Massage

Who ever came up with the idea that diamonds are a girl's best friend? We all know what women really want. Massage!

This year, skip the expensive diamond necklace and give her a relaxing therapeutic massage. To make the deal even sweeter, surprise her with a clean house and a romantic meal or some wine when she gets home after her massage. You're guaranteed to put a smile on her face and remind her why she chose you in the first place.

Did you know???

Did you know??? In 2001, a study was performed to determine the effectiveness of massage therapy vs. relaxation in reducing lower back pain. 2 groups, a massage and a relaxation group, were used to perform the study. After 6 months, the massage group experienced less lower back pain, less depression and anxiety, and better sleep quality than the relaxation group. The massage therapy group also showed improved range of motion and their serotonin and dopamine levels were higher than the relaxation group. I think it's really neat to see science backing up claims that massage really does decrease your pain and make you happy!
