HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]
Rub-a-Dub-Dub
January 11, 2008
Credit card still reeling from the holiday spending spree? Shoulders still aching from schlepping around shopping bags stuffed with Christmas booty? Sounds like it’s time to give your bod and pocketbook a well-deserved break with a good pummeling from the folks at Vancouver School of Bodywork and Massage.
But wait! you say: massages are spendy! Not so at this school, which offers treatments by students at discounted rates most Thursdays throughout the year and every second Saturday between November and July.
Check this: a one-hour bodywork and massage for 26 bucks, or 90 minutes of hydrotherapy, ayurveda or hot stone massage for $42.
Bliss awaits you at 220 Cambie St., 604-688-5060, www.vsbm.com.
Today’s Hot Picks is brought to you by Videomatica.ca: All the DVDs you want to watch, for just one low monthly fee. Pick a plan that suits you, from 2 to 10 DVDs out at a time!
