Here are five amazing treatments that you should consider when your body is craving for some “tender love and care” and you should experience the bliss of a spa which not only rejuvenates your body but also your mind and soul! Here are five spa treatments that should be on everyone’s must-do list this holiday season.
1. Candy Cane Ritual
The Candy Cane Ritual is an amazing treatment for rejuvenating the body at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Even Anna Kendrick was seen recently at this stylish spa where the experts use raw sugar cane juice along with peppermint oil and crystals for exfoliating and moisturizing the body. This ritual is then followed by another treatment that works for your muscles done by drumming, tapping and then rolling bamboo reeds over your muscles for reviving them. This treatment is actually an old cane ritual that is believed to stress on the trigger points of your body for energizing it.
