"Have you guys noticed tons of franchise massage places popping up in malls and strip malls lately? Driving around with Dad in Maine yesterday--I&amp;#x27;m home for the holidays already--I noticed a new Massage Envy location had just opened up in one of our strip malls. This chain&amp;#x27;s cheesy name always makes me cringe, but this time it got Dad and I to chatting. Are that many people regularly getting massages? They must be, if these types of businesses are expanding so visibly (I see Massage Envy locations everywhere I travel, it seems). A previous Girls in the Beauty Department poll revealed that more than 50 percent of you have had a professional massage--but I wonder how many of you treated yourself to those rubdowns, vs. receiving a gift certificate for them. So let&amp;#x27;s conduct another poll, shall we? Once you participate in the poll, let&amp;#x27;s chat: How many times have you gotten a massage? How many were gifts, versus you treating yourself? For those of you who have never splurged on one, why is that--do you feel guilty spending on a massage? Related: read about Beth&amp;#x27;s weird massage experience!
