Top 5 reasons why a massage is better than chocolate

Five great reasons why a massage is better than chocolate

A massage has zero calories, and is fat and sugar free.

Chocolate can't unlock the muscles in your neck or ease the pain in your lower back.

It is socially acceptable to indulge in a three hour massage. A 3 hour chocolate feast is something to be done in private.

Massage improves the texture of your skin, leaving you with healthier better nourished skin.

A great massage usually lasts at least an hour. A block of Swiss dark chocolate lasts around 5 minutes in our house

Get Ready For Spring

The jasmine is coming out, there is warmth in the sunshine and it's starting to feel that spring is just around the corner.
At Ripple we love Spring as it's a time to rejuvenate and shake off the winter chill.

There are many springtime rituals around the world that celebrate the end of winter.

In India, the Holi Festival includes the throwing of paint, either as powder or paint filled balloons. The streets are filled with people covered in colour.

The Japanese celebrate spring in the Setsuban Festival with the throwing of beans to get rid of evil spirits.

And spring festivals in China, held around Chinese New Year, include lots of firecrackers and dancing dragons.

At Ripple, we don't throw beans or paint, or set off fire crackers during your massage, but celebrate Spring in a different way.

Our Get Ready for Spring Massage and Day Spa Package is chock full of rejuvenating treatments and massages to freshen your body and soul.

At only $140 for the two hours, it is perfect for rejuvenating your body for the beach and warmer weather. It is intended not only as a “spring clean” for your body but also as a way to take better care of yourself and revitalise your spirits.

Included in the package are two massages, full body exfoliation to polish and refresh the skin, organic green clay face masks and a gift of nourishing moisturiser.

The unique combination of essential oils in the Ripple Thrive massage oil blend used in the package also helps the rejuvenation process.

The Thrive blend of essential oils is unique to Ripple and includes mandarin which is known for its tonic effect on the digestive system and for helping regulate metabolism.

Also in the blend is lime, recognized as a stimulant for a sluggish lymphatic system and is often used for the treatment of fluid retention and cellulite. Frangipani essential oil is also included for its beautiful scent and tangerine to clear congested and oily skin
