Choose My Valentine’s Adventure + Giveaway

Posted on February 8, 2013 by
SambaDays Gift Box

I’m single. Surprise surprise right in your eyes. Actually, there’s only been one Valentine’s where I wasn’t single, and that was last year… so I’ve come to be very good at treating the day like I would any other. Watch an action movie and complain about being single celebrate how awesome my life is! Well, this year certainly disrupts my usual enjoyment of the day – lacking candy, chocolate and food delivery. But it has presented a new opportunity!

Now, I’ve never had any kind of spa treatment in my life. Not professionally anyway.. but SambaDays decided to be my Valentine this year and hooked me up with a little treat. Quite frankly, SambaDays cards are one of the greatest gifts you can give someone because it allows them to pick exactly what they want to do. They offer adventure, body and soul, explore, getaway, golf, gourmet and many other different kinds of experiences. A single card can offer someone over 20 different options to choose from!

But because I know nothing about spa treatments I wanted to put it out to you guys to Choose My Adventure! And because the spa cards are a perfect gift for someone you care about on Valentine’s Day, I have a card to giveaway (that comes in a nice little gift box).

So, here are your options:

  1. An Aromatherapy Swedish Massage + Maintenance Facial
  2. A Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage
  3. An Express Manicure + Pedicure + Paraffin Wax

One of these I’ll do… and one of you will win a card for this as well! To win (and choose the adventure I go on) comment below which I should do for one entry, and also tweet “@asponsoredlife @sambadays (And the adventure that I should do)”  for another entry.

The contest will close on Sunday night!

OH! And as a bonus, if you go over to SambaDays.com right now and purchase one of their cards worth $89 or more, use my promo code VALENTINE at checkout and you’ll get a $25 egiftcard to use to purchase another experience one day!

    For you I suggest the Aromatherapy Swedish Massage + Maintenance Facial — sounds relaxing :) I would choose the mani/pedi for myself!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Yeah? I think I once had a manicure a long time ago… but a girl friend of mine did it as practice… so I dont’ really recall if it was or not haha.

  • http://about.me/bridgman laura

    no. 1 – aromatherapy swedish massage and facial. sounds like heaven.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Have you had one before?? I’ve heard they’re nice.

      • http://about.me/bridgman laura

        yes, but wasn’t classified as “Swedish” not sure what that adds.

        • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

          Haha okay. :) I’m gonna research this!

    Celebrate how awesome your life is by doing the most manly of the treatments: A Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      I feel relaxed already! Haha.

    Given your current sleeping/sitting sccenario, I’m voting #2 to give your poor body a break!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      You’re sweet for thinking about that!

  • http://www.facebook.com/nikkidaniellexo Nikki Jumpurr

    If it’s your first time going to a spa, try the best of all worlds! No.2! A Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage sounds like heaven and something that any man would LOVE if he gave it the chance :)

    xoxox

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Thanks! Ahh… first time doing anything thatcould be classified as ‘pampering’ haha.

  • http://twitter.com/brigidtowler Brigid Towler

    I vote that you should do #2 because that’s what I’d pick! Scalp massage? Yes please. This all sounds like heaven.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Haha, that’s the only thing I *might* have had before… had a haircut last year and the woman massaged my head so well during a wash haha.

  • JamieLeighTO

    I think you should do #2! Imagine all of that massage after sleeping on the floor for a month and a half! Plus, facials are awesome. It will be the most relaxing day you have ever had (and I hope to have one too!)

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      That’s coming out as the early favourite. I wish I had enough to give to everyone – but alas all I can say is Good Luck! :)

  • http://www.emmabrooks.ca/ Emma Brooks

    I recommend #1. You may just fall asleep! Also, smooth hands on a guy is a little weird.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Hahaha, I already have pretty smooth hands… :P

  • Jennifer

    Everyone here agrees with #2 (even Mitchell)! Careful with the scalp massage…people have been known to groan out loud! haha

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Haha that I wouldn’t mind.

  • http://www.facebook.com/GraphiChic Cassandra Doubleyew

    #2 because you’ll feel like jelly after. And boy am I soooooo jelly of you!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Mmmm jelly.

  • Alyssa Hurst

    I think #1 would be the best for your bed-less back! :)

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Hahaha, bed-less back.

  • http://www.fortysomethingbride.com/ Colleen Cole

    I think the Express Manicure + Pedicure + Paraffin Wax. My hubby loves massages – but after he had a pedicure, it became his most requested spa gift. Now he wants to go several times a year to get pedis! He loves them – and he is a construction worker. Better yet, he convinced our best man to try them too and now they both ask to go with us when my bestie and I go to the spa!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Haha that’s so awesome!

      • http://www.fortysomethingbride.com/ Colleen Cole

        You know, when they figured out that Horseshoe (one of their favourite golf courses) had a Shizen Spa (their favourite spa) the bro-date discussions got lively!

        • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

          HAHAHA amazing! Your husband sounds like a funny guy.

          • http://www.fortysomethingbride.com/ Colleen Cole

            He is!

  • http://twitter.com/Heros_Temporis Link™

    An Express Manicure + Pedicure + Paraffin Wax

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Ever had one?

  • http://twitter.com/sassygirlcanada SandyT

    Definitely package #2! You will float out of the spa feeling like a million dollars! Enjoy!!!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Million dollar feeling would be nice! I hope they put cucumber over my eyes at some point… #snack

  • Natasha

    Definately the first one. Swedish Message. Best way to relax and a facial to keep you looking pretty! :P

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Hahaha, god I need so much help with that.

  • http://twitter.com/julesinfleurs Jules

    SWEDISH MASSAGE.

    Happy Valentines, Zach :)

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Haha thanks dear!

  • http://twitter.com/yarden Yarden Horwitz

    I have no idea what option 1 means, so I’d go with that.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Best reasoning yet!

  • Erika

    I would go for the second option. The back is always my fav part of a massage. Plus, you still get scalp and hand which is delightful! A good facial is key in the winter months because it’s so easy to get dry skin.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Do they do anything for the lips? I feel that’s the toughest part… chapped lips!

  • http://twitter.com/CaitHung Caitlin Hung

    I’d say go with the Aromatherapy Swedish Massage + Maintenance Facial! Sooo relaxing.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      I hope so! I’m excited for whatever the outcome is!

  • http://www.alexaclark.com Alexa Clark

    If you are going to a spa for your first time, I’d say go for the most experience you can get – so #1 the Aromatherapy Swedish Massage and Facial.

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      I’m so intrigued by it all… I’ve never really looked into any kind of spa treatment ever… so they all look interesting (and slightly terrifying!)

  • http://twitter.com/mpricemitchell melissa

    All of these treatments would be wonderful. I’m voting for #2 because hand massages are seriously under rated. Hope you enjoy whatever you do. :)

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Haha thanks Melissa! I figure I’m on a laptop all day, that one could be a nice treat :P

  • http://twitter.com/JubleeW Moongazing

    I think you should try the Aromatherapy Swedish Massage + Maintenance Facial. Both are really relaxing and help get rid of any stress! A definite treat!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Yeah? Intriguing!!

  • running_cloud

    You should get th Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage because
    1. All men should experience a facial and see how good they look after
    2. Scalp massages are like sex for your hair

    ENOUGH SAID!! DO IT!!!

    • http://ZachBussey.com/ Zach

      Hahahaha, well that’s pretty convincing!

  • Sarah Nazim

    I think #2! Scalp massages are amazing; that whole package will definitely relax you ;)

  • http://twitter.com/baronlam Baron Lam

    Definitely get the Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage! Massages are amazing and the facial will clean up the face a lil to meet the ladies! ;)

  • NTDF

    You should indulge in a Facial, Back Massage, Scalp Massage and Hand Massage…

    For myself, it’s a no-brainer (#3 obviously) but for a guy, I say go for #2!!!
