Foot and Lower Leg Massage
A good foot massage is sometimes all you need to relax. If you have been on your feet all day, and worked hard all week, you might wish to have a pampering treatment that is nourishing and to your mind body and soul, to help you unwind for the weekend or prepare for the week ahead.

Pregnant, and hot! When the ‘glow’ gets you down, do yoga!
Ugh, stifling heat... You're pregnant, so, in effect, have a mini oven in your belly... Usually you glow, and it shows, in your unique loveliness as a mama-to-be goddess. But right now you feel like a mini volcano! You can't do anything, go anywhere without feeling uncomfortable. So take a few minutes to honour it, and do nothing... go nowhere. Wherever you are!
First, run your inner wrists under the cold tap for a while. It's very refreshing! Pop your feet in a bowl of cool water. A rolled up muslin cloth, or facecloth, soaked in cold water and squeezed out, placed on the back of your neck or over the forehead will also help to cool you down... Keep ...
