Treating yourself is something that is very hard for most of us to do. The stress of everyday life from work, kids, spouse, and responsibilities daily are enough to make anyone lose their sanity. If you feel a migraine coming on, I have the anecdote for you. You need to get away from it all for some ME time, and I found the perfect place—Bellissimo Spa at Harrah’s Casino Tunica.
When walking into Bellissimo, you can hear the soothing sounds of streams and smell aromatherapy scents. Upon checking in, you are taken to the women’s or men’s side and given a soft robe, sandals, and a full locker to store your purse, wallet, etc. You can wait between appointments and enjoy hot tea, bottled water, and snacks.
Start your morning with treatment from your head to your toes by getting a hot stone massage. The only way I can accurately describe this treatment is to compare it to pure bliss. Victoria was my massage therapist, and everything from the foot and hand massage to the warm stones being rubbed into every muscle completely relaxed me. She took the stones and gave what felt like a traditional Swedish massage with them, which was extremely more relaxing and wonderful than any massage I’ve gotten at other spas in the past.
Our group then jumped on the shuttle to treat ourselves even more across the street at the Paula Deen Buffet inside Harrah’s Casino. This is the only Paula Deen restaurant outside of Savannah, Georgia. Paula Deen is known as the “Queen of Southern Cuisine” and is a Food Network star. My favorite things to get on the buffet are the hot cheese biscuits, fried chicken, delicious casseroles, and ooey gooey buttery bars. To make it the perfect Southern meal, I always order her famous sweet tea with fresh mint leaves.
After trying everything on the buffet and going back for seconds, it’s back to the spa. To continue your pampering, get a tropical paradise manicure and pedicure. Just the scent of the scrubs is worth going. This treatment includes exfoliation, hydration, hot towel wraps, and a hand and foot massage. I chose French manicure as my color choice, but you can choose from hundreds of O.P.I. colors to make your hands look like a million dollars.
To finish the day perfectly, bring your bathing suit. Take a dip in the whirlpool Jacuzzis, or feel refreshed by relaxing in the steam room.
When you step out of Harrah’s Bellissimo Spa, you will feel recharged and able to keep your sanity, but you’ll want to plan your next blissful visit to treat yourself as soon as possible!
