No Time for Massage? Try This!

Self massage can feel blissful with a tool like this!

We’re all about spoiling moms this week with our Pampering Week theme—because every mama needs a little TLC!

So I was doing some shopping awhile back when I saw what I thought was a whisk in the bath products section of a store. It struck me as odd, so I took a closer look. It wasn’t a whisk at all, but a head massager that looked a bit like a whisk. Skeptical, I pointed it out to my hubby, laughed and carried on with my day.

Then a couple of days later, I went over to Jenn’s for breakfast and saw that she had the crazy head-whisk self-massage device. She insisted I try it, and I didn’t want to put the thing down. I got chills up and down my spine, and I was in head-massage tingly scalp heaven. I immediately attacked my husband when he returned to the room and insisted he try it STAT. He had a similar blissed-out reaction. Ahhh.

I’m not even kidding when I say that within a couple of days we had picked up a few of them—one for us, one for his sister and one for his parents. The thing is amazing. You know how good it feels when someone else gives you a shampoo? It’s like that—with dozens of tiny fingers massaging your scalp. As a cheap relaxation device, you can’t beat it! Mine was only $3.99, but you can get great deals out there, like this three-pack for less than $8.

Now, the wonderful sensation is at its maximum effectiveness the first minute of use. Your scalp gets used to it and then it only feels just good. But whip it out once a day for a minute or so when you’re stressed, and you will be one happy camper!

Have you tried this crazy doo-dad? Love it as much as I do? —Erin
