My honey detests the term metrosexual, but enjoys pedicures. Especially if that massage is based on reflexology to hit the pressure points associated with healing or fitness of various organs of the body.
I’m glad neither of us have ticklish feet because at the end of a work week nothing is quite as relaxing. Even though I’ve spend a day at the spa for rejuvenation with a friend and we had a good time side by side in the massage chairs at the spa. I wasn’t sure if giving each other a foot massage would classify as a date.
I have to give a qualified yes. This can be a great romantic activity as long as both partners give and receive. Our shared version of the pedicure and massage started with a nice warm foot soak, massage with scented oils and reflexology by using a foot chart from a self-help book I checked out from the library.
Instead of one of us getting the works first followed by the other, we shared a tub of steaming water, perfect for playing footsies. Then we took turns with the massages. The floor of the den worked great with towels to protect from drips, the fireplace on to keep us toasty warm and lots of pillows to prop us into the perfect position for having our feet rubbed at the same time.
We fended the evening with mint lemonade and some spa type food. I made chipotle hummus to be served with cucumber rounds and miso soup. He made a grilled vegetable Panini ahead of time and let the flavors meld until we were ready. Life just felt a little fresher and truly combined relaxing and energizing.
THE END
