Good afternoon, Tangerine Tagalongs! Hola (hello) Tangerinies!
You may remember a few days ago when we told you that after we hit our big
milestone of a thousand subscribers, that we were going to get a celebratory
massage. Well we went there and despite many people the reviews saying that they
happily accept walk-ins and that's usually not a problem, they were
completely booked all throughout the weekend and until the week so today is
the day where we get that celebartory massage! That was Friday, now it's Monday and
we're getting it right now. Let's go! It includes an hour massage that
includes an hour massage each and according to their reviews it said they
do monthly specials all the time and this this month you get a 30 minute
reflexology session with your hour massage. I think you need a tongue massage
Yes, I sure do! We're really excited for this as you have probably heard in a few of
our other videos we've been working basically at 8 to 15 hour days since
well pretty much since the beginning and it wasn't until recently that we noticed
that we don't even really take weekends off or any days off during the week for
ever so even though this is more than we would typically spend on like anything I
think it's well-deserved.
All righty so we just got done with our massages and we're back here at our
Airbnb. We would have liked to record the video while we were walking back but
there was some type of road closure and traffic jam and buses everywhere and
it's a tornado outside but anyway... What did you think of your massage? It was
called Paxio—which is the name of the place—Especial. It's their specialty or
something. It was different than any other massage I've had. I heard halfway
through there was rice bags or something like maybe he was shaking like
a tiny maraca over you and doing silent chants or
something. What was that about? I don't really know. It did feel like bags with
rice or maybe small beans in it. I don't know what the deal was with that. And then we each got a free session at 30 minutes
of reflexology and you chose craniosacral. What did you think of
that? Again really strange when he started it he spent the first what
seemed like an eternity, but it was probably like 90 seconds of him just repeatedly
tapping with one finger right here in the middle of my forehead. I had no idea what he was
doing I didn't know what I was supposed to do something
Is he expecting me to open my eyes at some point? He's tapping you like, "Excuse me, wake up! Guys, hello? I think he's dead." By the end of it, my entire face was just vibrating.
Maybe that's what it was supposed to do! And then the rest of the time, basically being a dog and him petting me. Sometimes he did it like
tendons and stuff. So what do you think of yours? Mine was a
deep tissue massage and that's exactly what we got in Mazatlán, too, but
compared to the one in Mazatlán, and compared to other ones I've gotten in
the u.s. it was much lighter there were a lot of times where she was just like
going over the same very lightly so it didn't feel like she
was getting down deep into the muscles. That being said I always love people gives me
massages. I got the reflexology for my feet. I can pretty much be put to sleep
by getting massages on my feet. So I'm sure over the next few days I will start
noticing all the healing properties from that. We both paid six hundred and fifty
pesos each. As far as value goes and in comparison
to what we got in Mazatlan and massages that I've gotten in the u.s. I don't really think
this was the greatest value for sort of the quality that I got and it sounds like
yours is a little bit strange too. Yeah our massages in Mazatlán were amazing and I
left there and a total stay at last they went so far above and beyond. When we
were leaving in Mazatlan I couldn't "feel" my body there was no tension anywhere I
felt like I was a loose. Like I could stretch as much as I wanted. We hope this doesn't come
across as complaining we're just trying to be as honest and straightforward
about the experience as possible so that if you decide to go somewhere like this
or you're just curious what to expect if you get whatever the heck that was that
you got. Just like in the States you can get a great massage or you can get a
massage that's kind of lackluster. Seems to be the same here. The last thing, we
would have pulled out the cameras to show you that we were done they gave us
this nice cup of tea that had little pieces of apple and cranberry and beets
That was my favorite part. That was so, so good. But unfortunately, we were sitting there
and we had the only people in this place all of them were standing,
staring at us in silence. We didn't know whether we were supposed to have paid before
drinking the tea or if they were just calmly waiting for us to be done but I
had no freaking clue what to do. It was super awkward. Oh my gosh. I was like can this
moment please end. It was like, "Awgh!" But anyway, I am still glad we did this
it was nice to have some relaxation take a little time off. If you have any questions
about this particular location or the massage in general please let us know
down in the comments and if you want to see more videos... [GONG!] Gong that bell, so you get notified
