    Depends on the situation.
    I often just carry it along with me.
    But I also carry a padlock so I can lock it to the bike.

    Get outside. Just go to the local park.
    You may have to make more than one park visit to get some variety.
    It should be ok to wear a muscle t-shirt and gym shorts in the park.
    Or suit and tie.
    Put yourself in a “G rated” position with a nice background.
    Then either:
    Ask a passerby to snap a photo with your smartphone.
    Or just use smartphone’s timer delay.
     
    And smile!

    I didn't see the show but it could also also have a much less innocuous reference.
    There are certificates issued for personnel aboard military vessels that cross:
     
    The International Date Line > Domain of the Golden Dragon
    The Equator > Shellback Certificate
    If you cross the International Dateline right at the Equator there is a Golden Shellback Certificate.

    PM shower type.
     
    Older here. Skin is getting thin and dry and I was having some skin issues.
    A dermatologist gave me advice to help improve the situation.
    Said it’s not necessary to shower every day. That can actually be counterproductive since it can remove needed protective skin oils.
    Shower as needed.
     
    But I can’t stand getting in bed with smelly feet.
    So I always do at least a modified “Navy Shower” that wash, at a minimum, pubic areas and feet before going to bed. Maybe also just a very quick once over rinse, with no soap, of other skin areas.
     
    On my “real” shower days I use a body soap and shampoo a little earlier than bedtime. When finished I oil myself down, while still wet, with a body oil. While I’m waiting for the oil to soak in I will squeegee down the shower. In the few minutes that takes I will have pretty much drip dried. So I only have to pat dry (not rub dry) the remaining moisture off. The multi-tasking here leaves me with a better protected skin and a clean shower. Only use the towel twice before laundering. Second time end by using the towel to wipe down the chrome. Then I lounge around awhile in my soft flannel PJ’s to let any remaining oil soak in before going to bed.
     
    I’ve definitely noticed positive results since following his advice.

    Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples when calculating hotel costs. Many hotels have hidden “resort fees”. Parking fees are now also common.

    Temperatures will rise steadily during these Spring months and will likely hit 100’s by mid-May. But it’s a dry heat and buildings are air conditioned. Evenings will be pleasant. Stay hydrated, use sunblock and wear a full brim hat for outdoor activities. If arriving by car make sure it’s been serviced for hot temperatures and always carry extra water for emergencies!
     
    Like any sizable city there are bargains in Vegas. But not very many will be found on The Strip. Less expensive rooms, food and shopping can be found. The “locals” casinos (away from the Strip and Downtown) can be significant money savers while still enjoying the “Vegas atmosphere”.

    With no experience try starting with l o n g sslloooww strokes of moderate pressure - generally moving in the direction of the heart.
     
    Check to make sure your friend doesn’t have allergies. The Pro’s will likely cringe a bit but, considering your situation, Neutrogena Body Oil (or generic store brand next to it) actually isn’t too bad. Sometimes you will also see Palmer’s Moisturizing Body Oil with Cocoa Butter. Or just use coconut oil. Preferably “Fractionated” and likely available at a Bed, Bath and Beyond (or similar) Store. Old fashioned Baby Oil is a little too thin. But it’s certainly better than nothing and it’s not likely to cause a skin reaction to allergy sufferers.
     
    Atmosphere is very important. Low light and maybe an aromatic candle. Soothing music played at a low background volume. Maybe just a bit warmer temperature than you might think since the oils can have a cooling effect on the body.
     
    Near the end put a face towel under the bathtub spout. Heat it up, wring it out. Make sure it’s not too hot and wipe excess oil off. Cover friend immediately (with towel or body) to preserve heat
     
    No. I’m not a professional - just a consumer
     
    Best wishes!

    + not2rowdy got a reaction from FrequentMassageGetter in Becoming a Masseur   
    Ohhh… one of those questions that could take pages to answer. So here’s a start.
     
    I suspect your assumption that most masseurs discussed in these forums are not licensed is probably correct. However that does not mean those unlicensed are not competent at massage.
     
    Not sure what you’re asking by “How do these places go about finding masseurs?”
     
    If you’re asking about professional hotel and resort spas they likely have a pile of resumes they go through submitted by licensed massage therapists. These legitimate venues would be state licensed and would only hire certified therapists. Most large cites have one, or more, massage therapy schools with graduates looking for jobs. My impression is that supply exceeds demand. So experience will play an important factor in getting hired.
     
    Here are a couple of previous threads to look at:
