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!

If you’re looking for a northern escape, try a trip to Maine. Being located on the Northern East Coast, it is a perfect summer get-away for summer vacationers from the South.

As you enjoy the beautiful scenery, you should also be sure to enjoy the food of the area. An episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay featured a throwdown with the owner of The Lobster Dock, which is well known for crabcakes made mostly of Maine ingredients.
