How tense or relaxed you are transfers to your muscles, and you want your muscles as relaxed as possible. Plus, getting there early gives you time for paperwork. During massages, therapists may apply oils to your skin to help with the massage process. However, if you are allergic to a certain oil, powder, or lotion, they'll switch to something else. Your therapist will likely ask you about this, but if they don't, you can bring it up with them. That includes earrings, necklaces, rings, and watches. That way, your therapist can access all of your muscles without any restrictions. You may want to leave these at home to make it easier. You don't have to strip down for a massage. Just take off what your comfortable removing. If you want to leave most of your clothing on, be sure to pick something that's soft and comfortable. If you decide to take off more of your clothing, keep in mind you will be covered by a sheet most of the time. The therapist will only lift the areas of the sheet to reveal the parts they need to work on. If something doesn't feel right or if you'd prefer they didn't touch an area that they're working on, you can speak up. Don't be afraid to communicate your wants and needs. For instance, you might say, "Hey, that feels a little painful. Can you maybe go easier on that spot?"

SUMMARY: Arrive at your appointment ahead of time. Make the therapist aware of any allergies you have to oils or lotions. Take off any jewelry you're wearing. Remove only as much clothing as you'd like. Speak up if you're uncomfortable.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you choose chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or red velvet, any flavor can be used in a Batman cake. If you're unsure, browse the baking aisle at your local grocery store for ideas. You will need three boxes of cake mix and triple ingredients for this cake. While you're still at the store, look at the instructions on the back of the cake mix box. The mix probably calls for ingredients such as eggs and vegetable oil. You will also need to purchase black fondant, yellow sugar paper and three cans of frosting. You will need five round cake pans for this recipe: three large, one medium and one small. Grease your pans to avoid cake sticking to them. You'll want to use about a half of tablespoon of butter or vegetable shortening on a paper towel to rub the inside of each pan. You can also sprinkle about a tablespoon or two of flour on top of the oil. By flouring the pans on the sides, the cake will better adhere to the sides as it bakes. The best sized cake pans for this recipe are one 6-inch, one 8-inch and three 9-inch round pans. Once you have all the ingredients, you'll want to mix and bake the cake. The instructions are right on the back of the box. Make sure you preheat your oven to the suggested temperature. Mix the ingredients and pour the batter into the greased cake pans. Bake for the instructed time. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be sure to let them cool completely, preferably on a wire baking rack for 15 to 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the pan edges to loosen the sides. Place the wire rack over the top of each pan, invert it, and tap it lightly to remove the cake. For best results, stick the cooled cakes in the refrigerator or freezer until they are nice and cold.

SUMMARY: Choose your favorite flavored cake mix. Shop for ingredients. Prep your cake pans. Follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix box. Remove the cakes from the cake pans.
