Comment: "I like the word "pleasurable"a lot in the spa context and the only reason I'm not using "routine" with it, is that I feel it needs something stronger -- they're trying to encourage people to buy a pass for the spa -- so am considering "pleasurable addiction"... your thoughts?"

Since this is my first time posting a question and choosing an answer I was not certain if I could pick more than one answer: all were helpful, and good possibilities. Must there be only one chosen ? My apologies for being a neophyte on this forum. Ester Laushway
