A Spa Inspired Evening

Our Spa evening started with an Indian inspired meal which consisted of chicken seasoned with chilli powder and cininamom topped with a mango chutney for my husband of course and for me tilapia and curry cous cous . We then set up the spa room which was lit with lots of candles and the sound of the ocean in the background provided by homemedics, this is a wonderful little gadget by the way. We warmed our massage stones and had the most fabulous hot stone massage. What a wonderful evening with my husband. So take some time to prepare a meal light some candles , pour some wine and let yourself melt away to a exotic location and enjoy each others company. In the rat race of life we often forget to relax and detach from all the daily stresses of our lives. A great meal and message was just the therapy I needed to let myself forget it is the middle of January in the mid west. So thank you husband for a fabulous evening.
Sweet Dreams...
