Today was an amazing day. I bet you want to know why. Today was the day that I got my first massage and I can’t emphasize how amazing it was. I’ve had a lot of friends that talk about their spa days and the best part being the massage. They always say how relaxed they felt afterward and I was a little jealous. Massages are not cheap and even though I wanted to splurge and get one, I just never have; but then I got a gift certificate for Christmas for a 1 hour massage at Tropical Serenity Spa. I hesitated to set up my appointment since it was my first time and I always thought my first time would be with a girlfriend or a girls spa day but it just didn’t work out that way. I finally called the spa and set my appointment and I even requested that I have a girl masseuse. The day finally arrived to get my massage. I was welcomed into the spa by the owner who was so warm and friendly. The place was so cozy and peaceful. I told the owner that this was my first time getting a massage and she was so happy that I was getting here. She instructed me to be honest and tell the therapist if it’s too hard or too soft, to gentle or to move to a different place. She was just really good about relaxing me so I’d be ready for a memorable experience. My massage therapist was Jamie. Just like the owner she made me feel very comfortable. She took me to my room and explained what she’ll be doing and reiterated what the owner was telling me… to feel free to tell her what I want her to focus on and if I want something harder or softer. I ended up getting what is called a Deep Tissue massage and OMG it was so good. When my massage was over I couldn’t believe how good my lower back was feeling… I really needed that. They offer so much more than just the Deep Tissue massage($ 85). They also offer Swedish massage($ 65), Therapeutic massage($ 75), Foot massage(30 minutes for $ 30) plus they do facials as well. And if the costs seem too high, they do have all sorts of special offer. Considering that I felt like I just visited heaven I highly recommend everyone to visit Tropical Serenity Spa… already planning my return for Mother’s Day with my mom.
