1. The kids are back in school (or aren’t yet!)
2. It improves your immune system so you can keep free from all the exciting “biological souveniers” people brought back from their summer vacations.
3. You installed those new eco-bulbs outside.
4. You started running again and your muscles are a little shocked.
5. You want one.

If you’re worried about cost, check with your local massage school to see if they have a clinic. Or offer a “you rub my back I’ll rub yours” trade with your partner or BFF.

Get one for me while you’re up…

1. Summer’s almost over! Before you know it, it’ll be time for sweaters.
2. You checked your work email over the weekend.
3. It’s been cloudy, so your Vitamin D intake is clearly insufficient. This needs rectifying!
4. You never charged for that night you worked late last March.
5. You’ve only worn that new red bathing suit once. It deserves another trip out of the drawer!

If there’s no lake or ocean near you, or driving there is going to be more stressful than fun, feel free to substitute a day at the park!

Why else do you deserve a day at the beach/park?
