Confession time: I don't take very good care of myself at all. Well, I eat healthy, exercise enough, and I don't drink as much as I did in my student days, but when it comes to the fun extras, I never really did that much. Until I had a massage for the first time in my life in Bali and afterwards felt so intensely zen that I promised myself to keep doing this in the Netherlands.
Now the price tag in Bali is quite a bit lower than here in the Netherlands, but to be honest: I often find the spas in the Netherlands a lot prettier. In recent years, I've really caught up on massages, facials, manis, and pedis. I felt I deserved it. Now I live in Amsterdam, more specifically in the Pijp, and my dream spa is just a stone's throw away from me. WHUT.
But no stress: it's also in Utrecht and soon in Laren. Five City Spa is where you want to be to be pampered for a day (or even in between). With a relaxation massage (a spa day is not complete without it), but also with a deep tissue massage. I never really believed in that and no, you don't exactly do it for your relaxation, but you really feel years younger after such a session. You can't apply any cream against that.
So if you're looking for a sign to treat yourself: this is it. Go for it. You deserve it.
