I used to go 1-2 times a month for facials and massages back when I was single. I loved spending half a day at the spa (I usually went to Glen Ivy).
Lying in their steam room, taking a mud bath, looong showers under powerful streams of water..
*sigh.
I need some me time.

Over a year ago. This makes me sad! I used to get massages once a month, but I really can't warrant the expense or time away. Nothing beats a good spa day.

Just before my wedding, for my bachelorette weekend. And I'd die to go again. But I'd only want to go if I could kick the guilt I'd inevitably feel for being away from the babes for that long.

Last time I went to one was on our honeymoon, we got a couples massage and then lounged in the steam room for awhile...it was wonderful!

I went about 7 weeks ago. Facial and shivy shower when I was in Las Vegas w/ my husband for a conference. Have plans to go in a few weeks for a massage...but am using a gift certificate for that one.

@chopsuey119: I don't like people touching me... Is there anything that doesn't involve someone touching you?

A couple weeks ago 
DH likes to golf with his dad, but it makes for a long day of baby wrangling. So he placates me with a massage or two while grandma watches LO.
My new obsession is the hot stone massages!

I just had a facial a month or so ago. I get gift cards to a day spa around the corner from us every now and then and it's such a treat.
I really really really want to go to some kind of spa resort for our birthdays next year. I want to have couples facials, massages, and manis/pedis and I want to eat in our bathrobes and all that. Anyone know of any place like that within driving distance to Boston?

@cyndistar3: They have baths, wraps, pools, steam rooms, dry rooms.

Three months ago. My husband and I suspended our membership when we bought a house. We were going once a month at that point. We still need to decide if we want to go back.

I go get facials about once every 3 months, and it’s a long facial with massage and everything. LOVE THEM so much!
I’m going to start getting prenatal massages and pedicures on a regular basis too. I figure I’m saving all sorts of money in booze, why not spend it on myself?! Happy mommy = happy baby ;-p

6 years ago? When we were first dating, my husband bought me a full-day spa visit. A girlfriend bought one to go with me and we spent all day being pampered. My goodness that was amazing!! That was the last time, though. Whomp whomp.

@ecogirl: I’m big about trying to keep my stress levels down, and massage and treats like that is one way to do it! I am looking forward to seeing how prenatal massage varies from regular massage.
I’m having a lot of round ligament pain and other stretching body pain, so contorting all over the place to give myself pedicures and paint my toes just isn’t happening! Thankfully my husband is super into spa stuff too, so he’s really supportive of me doing whatever I want to do at the spa for the next 6 months!

I was getting massages every month for awhile, but I stopped that. I haven't had a facial in a year or two. I absolutely love facials. I rarely get manis and pedis. I don't take care of my hands and nails very well, so manis are a waste for me.

When I was pregnant with Olive and had really bad sciatica. The masseuse massaged my bare ass and my sciatica got so much better!

i'm dying to get a massage right now. last time i got one was in vegas in november. i don't get it regularly, but now that i'm pregnant and my back is killing me and my whole body is so sore, i'd love to get one. there's a massage envy near my place, but they want a doctor's note and i'm too lazy to get it.

I've only been 3 times ever and the last time was in October of 2009 right before I started at my current employer. I had about a week off between jobs, so I spent it shopping for a new work wardrobe and going to the spa!

I was just at the spa yesterday. I had my 1st prenatal massage and boy was it LOVE. I go regularly and get manicures and pedicures and every so often DH and I used to do couples massages but I've been too worried to do them since I found out I was pregnant. I plan to go regularly for prenatal massages now.

The last time I went was June of this year for a bachelorette party. I want to go again sooooo badly, but I love the hot tubs and can't go in them now! WAH.

Two weeks ago, for a facial and a massage. Before that, it was well before I was pregnant, so probably late 2009! Way overdue.

Never! I really want to though. Although I have a best friend that's a massage therapist, so there is that.

This past Saturday for a massage. I'm going for a facial next week. I never go more than a month or two without trips to the spa, it's important me time, and I like to take care of myself.
