A D-I-Y hot stone (or 'hot pebble') massage
We love the advice from lifestyle guru Martha Stewart's website www.marthastewart.com about creating a 'D-I-Y' hot stone treatment on the beach. 'In this relaxing ritual, you'll gather stones to stimulate the body's seven main energy centers, or chakras, in the Ayurvedic tradition. While many massage therapists use large stones to massage out tension in muscles, simply placing stones at strategic points on the body can encourage relaxation. On a sunny day, take a stroll along the beach to gather seven dark-colored, smooth, round stones, preferably 1 or 2 inches in diameter.
Set them down in a sunny spot and allow them to warm up for 10 to 15 minutes. When you're ready, lie flat on your back and place a stone on each of the seven chakras, one by one. Let your body relax and sink into the ground; feel the weight of each stone and the sensation it creates on your skin. Visualize energy radiating from each chakra through your body, from the top of your head through your toes. Relax for about 20 minutes, and then remove the stones.'

And just add hot weather...
