Water Bottle Massage

Yes - you did read it right.  I said WATER BOTTLE MASSAGE.  This is simple, cheap and it is a treat for two!  My love and I recently discovered this one.  Here’s how it works…

First, get yourself a bottle of Ozarka Spring Water - the bottle density and shape are perfect.  Don’t refrigerate the water - keep it at room temperature.

Next, warm yourself up with a nice hot bath or shower - you know the kind that leaves you with the need to cool down afterward?  Always in the past I would end a hot bath by laying down under the ceiling fan. 

On this day, I had a half empty bottle of room temperature water on the night stand.  I was so toasty from the shower that it sounded appealing, so I asked my love to roll it down my back beginning with my neck. 

You can’t imagine how nice it felt on my warm skin.  It was cool, but not shockingly cold - very nice.  We took turns for the next 30 minutes or so - rolling the bottle down one another’s backs and buttocks.  It was soothing and relaxing - a very nice finishing touch to our precious together time. 

I highly recommend it!

Everybody deserves a day like this.  You spend many long hard days on the job, so you deserve a day or an evening of doing absolutely nothing that contributes to a better world.  You know what I mean, right?

 Sit on your fanny watching Gilligan’s Island reruns and eating cheesy poofs until you fall asleep.  Play video games until your eyes won’t stay open any longer.  I personally like to watch Fresh Prince or South Park or Seinfeld while playing City of Heros and eating junk food.  It makes me completely useless, but peaceful.  We all could use a day like this once in a while. 

Gift It!

Turn this into a gift by giving someone you love permission to be a lazy bum for the day.  You can create “bum for a day” coupons and accompany them with Blockbuster coupons, a goody back full of snacks, a starter subscription to an online game (such as City of Heros or World of Warcraft).  Who do you know that deserves a break today?
