“I’ll give you all I got to give if you say you’ll love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I’ll give to you
I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love.”
– The Beatles

Rub Dub
The smell of essential oils, some soothing music and a person you’ve only just met gently massaging every inch of your skin. Wait, what? We’re kidding! Seriously though, some indulgence at a spa could be a great way to spend the day. Most spa centres have discounted packages for couples too. Apart from the obvious calming effect, it also makes you feel good about breaking away from the humdrum of daily life (unless you’re very rich and have a masseuse at your beck and call). However, do not forget to compare your options. Check out customer reviews and pick that one you like. Call them up and ooze your charm over the phone – negotiate. Enough said. Happy oiling!
