Have a Spa Night

No need to spend the extra moola on a couple's massage- make or buy somemassage oil(or add a few drops of lavender essential oil into your favorite body lotion for a DIY) and take turns treating each other to massages. A bubble bath with some Epsom salt is another great way to relax together without paying the high price. 🛁

Order Takeout
