Masseur Wellness

What do you think of this massage machine?



This week, there is a campaign at the gym, selling this product at $750! It's original price is $1470.

I am not being taken for a ride by the salesperson. I wanted some kind of massage machine for a long time and feel like this might be the one!? By the way, not the massage chair, because it occupies a space. This one is really small, 15 inches x 15 inches (38cm x 38cm)!

What I liked about this machine is "spiral vibration" which will improve the blood circulation in your body. Those bumpy stuff around have Shiatsu (finger pressure) effect. Moreover, two things sticking out will rotate or(and) vibrate and massage you at the same time! Plus, it emits negative ion.

You can use this machine for all parts of your body! Shoulders, back, waist, stomach, calves, neck, thighs, arms, hands, legs, etc... Surprisingly, stomach feels great!



I tried the machine for 15 minutes a day for few days and it really did relieve muscle tension.

Furthermore...
1. You can relax by using remote control at hand.
2. 15-minutes-timer avoids to turn off.
3. It has a stand that can change the height.
4. There is a portable handle.

Am I crazy?! I translated all the features in English. Ha-ha.
Okay, I will ask my boyfriend. He knows the answer!
But let me know what you think ;)

Reversed Chocolate

Today is sunny again, but we need to be careful not to catch the flu when the air is dry! I wear a mask on the train, gargle and wash my hands for protection!

Anyway, here in Japan, women give chocolate to men on Valentine's Day. Then funny, but on 3/14, men give gifts (used to be candies) to women in return for the chocolate they were given. So some women give chocolate with expectation, out of courtesy!
However, this year, Valentine's Day is on Saturday, so many chocolate manufacturers expect the downturn in sales: no work or schools, so women are expected to buy only the chocolate for someone special! Thus, some of the chocolate manufacturers promote "reversed chocolate" to target men to give chocolate to women. This morning, I saw on TV that Godiva has a Valentine's Day chocolate that costs $15 a piece in a jewel-box-like box!!! Also, there are some funny ones which packages are printed in reverse. The image above is one of them.

How about in your country?
I should tell my boyfriend about "reversed chocolate" and ask him to take me out for dinner! Ha-ha ;)
