In New York, Bliss 49 offers spa treatments that are almost good enough to eat. One can relax through the carrot and sesame body buff, where customers are massaged with carrot mulch with hot oil and poured in milk and honey where afterward sesame seeds and sea salt are scrubbed down on the body. A Las Vegas spa, Mandara Spa, also offers a unique spa experience with their lime and ginger salt treatment or their coconut rub and milk wrap. Whichever of these treatments can surely give relaxation that your friend truly deserve.
