Bliss....

So today I got a massage and got my ears candled at work. Gotta love a workplace that brings a massuse/natural therapist to your workplace and the allows you to take time off to go and relax!!!!

I had a delightful 1/2 hr neck and back massage (includes a head massage which always sends me into bliss!!!!). Then I had Ear Candling done. It's something i've always wanted to try (I have really bad ears- and i'll try anything that works.) It's an unusual experience... Vanessa inserted the hollow candles into my ears. She then lit them. It feels warm ans soothing and there is a crackling noise. But, it mostly sounds like the noise you hear inside a seashell. The treatment too approx 45-55mins.

There is lots of skeptical info out there on the internet about ear candling (try googling ear candleing and you'll see). But I have to say it did make my ears and head feel clearer afterwards (they haven't felt that way in a long time). In my right ear I did feel a real sucking (blocking and unblocking) and there was a large amount piece of "wax" in the candle at the end. I think it could be really helpful after I fly (those pressurised cabins and landings mess with my ears). Wouldn't do it all the time, but would definitely do it again.

Still haven't had any time to do any crafty creative stuff (working longer weirder hours), but I have been blog and website surfing quite a bit (beats the late night quiz shows). There sure are lots of talented ladies out there producing some amazing work. I've loved a lot of the ideas and I sure am inspired..... Just need a few more hours in the day
