It’s Summer And

July 31, 2011 Spaaah, The Beat

…we’re hot on the heels of a new Balzac, two tubes through our favorite Blood Orange + White Pepper, and coming off a sensational in-home massage. We scheduled two hours with Aiko Spa and made it a morning with our good friend J (who came bearing lattes) and those instant cinnamon rolls that come in the pop-open tube (just watch us try those from scratch…er)

We threw the French doors open for some sunshine and converted our office into a temporary massage room. After J’s session, we settled in for the knot-unwinding so dearly needed. Mai-Linh worked out the muscle stress accumulated through our numerous bad habits, reversing the imposition of our desk chair on our strained posture. The hour flew and we were so thoroughly reset, that a frozen Snickers seemed the next prudent decision.

Which, for anyone indulged in chocolate or massage, such sensible choices are well-reasoned.
