AN AWESOME MASSAGE IS AMAZING BUT…..


Finding a wonderful therapist to give it is hard! I had the most amazing Therapeutic Deep-Tissue Massage & HAD to pass along the info. It was like nothing I have ever had before but it sure did make a sore and tense body feel good! Samantha knows exactly where the body needs to be worked and is extremely talented in finding the pressure points to elevate the knots that have built up. Starting face up, she works from the feet, towards the heart and no ounce of skin is left untouched! It’s nothing close to a “Spa” massage, but it definitely was money well spent. A 90 min. massage is ONLY $100 AND she comes to YOU!!  I HIGHLY recommend her. One try and you will be HOOKED!You can call or text her at 727-408-4401or email SamanthaVictoriaMassage@gmail.com.

Are You Already Dreading Your Family’s After-School Schedule?


So your boss promised you would be out of the office by 5 p.m. However, that always turns into 5:30 (if you are lucky) which leaves you 30 minutes to battle rush-hour traffic, pick up your 3rd grader from one school, and fetch your 6th grader from another – who both must leave their after-school care programs by 6 p.m. Does this sound like your upcoming fall? Don’t worry – there is a sensible solution. Click the link below to learn how to have a less stressful school year.
