We all love that feeling that we have fresh off the massage table, your nails look perfect, and your hair is set to grace any red carpet....and then you get to the reception desk and look at the price tag for your "me" day...and the tension comes back to your shoulders and you wonder what you just spent $400 on. No fear we've got some helpful tips that will make you feel like you just left the spa, without breaking the bank.

1. Invest in a back and neck massager like this one they often go on sale at Walmart as around Christmas time. It's a one time expense(and sometimes you can find them for like only $100) that you can enjoy everyday!
