Last weekend as flurries started to fall I drove out West to try a new salon in Omaha.
The full service salon is called Moxie — a name I instantly loved. They invited me to try a free 60 minute massage and give away the same service to a lucky reader!
When I walked into the salon I was greeted by a friendly receptionist.
She offered me a cup of hot apple cider. Yes, please!
And invited me to relax before my appointment.
While I drank my cider I meandered around the salon to snap some quick pictures.
I love how beautifully they display their products.
And that their salon is all decked out for the holidays! It made it such a festive experience.
If you’re not sure what to get a female in your life for a holiday present, get her a pedicure. She will love you forever.
While browsing around the salon Norma came out and introduced herself. She was going to be my masseuse for the afternoon. We talked about the areas I wanted to work on, and what I could expect for the next 60 minutes. I chose Norma as my masseuse because she is known as the relaxing massage therapist at Moxie. There is another masseuse who is an RN that is known for working out any serious aches or sore spots you have. Since my body is pretty ache- free I felt Norma was the right choice for me.
I then got comfy in this warm and tranquil room and my message began. I blissed out and my mind began to wander. I thought about all the things I’m excited for: my new job, the holidays, an upcoming trip to California. I thought about all the things I have been stressing out about lately: my weight, time management, the continual messy state of my apartment. I felt like I was able to organize my thoughts and then let them go. I woke myself up with a snort in the middle of the massage and while horribly embarrassed I had to laugh about how totally zen I was.
Before I knew it I was being tapped on the shoulder and told that I was all done with my massage. Time had flown. I felt like jello and was totally calm. Massages are one of the best luxuries in life. I was already thinking about when I will go back.

I think about absolutely nothing during a massage. My mind is always going a million miles a minute so I take the opportunity to shut down and focus on how I feel.
Then I fall asleep. 🙂
Nothing. I think about nothing. Just let my mind go blank and enjoy the massage.
Liked Moxie on FAcebook
I think about absolutely nothing. This is the rare moment for me so I enjoy the peace and quiet.
I liked Moxie on Facebook too!
What a gorgeous salon! Great giveaway, babe. 🙂

I’m another one who thinks about nothing. I usually end up dozing during the massage! Great pictures!
Thanks for a great giveaway! I just let my mind wander :).
I think about how 60 minutes goes too quick and how I wish my massage would last twice as long! All while in relaxation mode, of course!
I would LOVE to win this! This may sound bad…. but normally I think about all of the things on my “to do” list that I need to get accomplished. It’s so hard NOT to!
I try not to think of anything during a massage:) It is very easy to just let the mind go blank and enjoy the moment when you have children at home:)
I liked moxie on facebook
I try not to think about anything. I rarely get time away from the kids and run non stop. It’s nice to have alone time and not think.
Could so use a massage right about now!
If I am lucky to get a massage, I try to totally clear my mind! To think about the rhythm of the massage and melt into the table!!! Total Bliss!
I just relax and try to let my mind wander.
Honestly? I try to think about nothing. I have never had a professional massage though! I would love this. I have neck and back problems, so it would be good for me. 🙂
Oh man, I could totally go for this, but no massages for me until after this baby! Looks like a really great salon though!
They offer pregnancy massages too!
When I get a massage, I think about my stress going out of my body via the long, skillful strokes of my massage therapist. I try to turn my mind off, because I am HORRIBLE about calming my mind and just enjoying the moment.
I ‘like’ them on FB!
I try to clear my mind and doze off… But sometimes my ADD kicks in and my mind wanders 🙂
Massage is food for the soul….nothing is better.
I think about enjoying that moment because its probably going to be a long time until I get to do that again!
What do I think about? Absolutely nothing as I usually fall asleep within the first 5 minutes.
Now that looks like a fun place to stay for a while 🙂 And the snowflakes! Such a fun place to be around the holidays! 🙂
