As I mentioned in a previous post, one of my New Years resolutions is to work on my health and overall wellness. To achieve that, I have started to exercise more and drink more water. But my health journey doesn't stop there, I've learned about how massages can also contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Don't know who to turn to for a great massage? If you're in the Western Chicago suburbs, I recommend Veronica Esparza from Massage by V. Book your massage or couples massage here.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd definitely prefer a couples massage over a box of chocolates this Valentine's Day. <3
