Cellulite

I'm not sure if there was a language barrier or I just didn't want to face the brutal truth but this is what happened.... About half way through our trip we wound up at a hotel that offered massages for $35. Good deal for our weary backs. Brian went first and said it was different but good. ok. I head in and this lady speaks very little English but seems really nice. She goes to work and about the time she is on my back butt and outer thighs she says:

" you have much too much cellulite for a young woman your age"

Wow ok, nothing like a little brutal honesty, then she says,

"but it's only a little deep." What? and then she says,

"you just take some sugar, olive oil and a little water and massage and it will help this"

Actually lady, less chocolate, less carbs, and giving up diet coke, will help this but hey if all I need is some sugar and olive oil it's worth a try.

Once home out of curiosity I thought I would give it a go. I grabbed the sugar and olive oil from the pantry and headed to the bathroom to concoct me anti-cellulite treatment. Maybe I can market this and make millions.

The results: I don't have a full length mirror in my bathroom so I can not testify of instant reduction in the appearance of cellulite but it was a good exfoliating treatment and my legs felt silky smooth after. I did also apply to the upper arms as a preventative measure. A while later Indy came walking into the bathroom wondering what the container of sugar and olive oil were doing in the bathroom...long story short I told him it was my Swedish Secret. The funny man helped me unload groceries last night and had the nerve to ask as he unpacked the spreadable butter if we were keeping it in the fridge or the bathroom..Funny Indy funny. So maybe you allready know my Swedish secret, but for me it has been an enlightening experience.
