Lulur Scrub at Oils and Scrubs Spa

So last Friday I finally experienced full body scrub at my favorite spa in Makati City, Oils and Scrubs Spa. I'm a junkie for massages and pampering as long as they are really dirty cheap. The package I availed myself of yesterday was Lulur Whitening Scrub with 1-Hour Massage for P499. If it weren't for their promo (lasting until January 31, 2012), I wouldn't jump all the way from The Fort to Amorsolo and celebrate my <3 monthsary there. Without the promo, a 1-Hour Massage costs P400 and the Lulur scrub alone is I think around P499.



I already imagined it would be great, and indeed it was. Before the scrubbing session started, "Ate" asked me to undress and wear the disposable underwear they provided. Then, she asked me to pick which among the Asian Secrets scrubs I want her to use by smelling them. Holy cow I forgot to asked the difference of the three aside from the fragrance! But anyhow, I didn't smell it much since I was facing downwards. Then it started. My back experienced a scrub like never before! Well, of course I scrub myself at home--duh--but "Ate" managed to wrestle with my dead skin cells in my very-hard-to-reach areas in heavy, circular motion. Felt like she was rebelliously painting at my back.

Once finished, she left me in the cubicle for about 5 to 10 minutes to let the scrub kind of sink in to my skin and then she asked me to shower. The shower room, btw, is fine but was sooo slippery. The rubber tsinelas barely helped. And then of course, I came back to the cubicle dry and had the 1-hour Swedish massage.

After all the pampering, I was given a free Asian Secret Olive Oil Soap. :)

Bottom line: I would love to go back, but I'd rather try their other scrub options like oatmeal, black sugar, etc. I could just buy the same Asian Secrets scrub tub in Watsons for P130 anyway ;)

And be realistic: Don't expect "Ate" to scrub all of your "singits", especially the private parts. Should be thankful there are people who are willing to do it for you :P It's our body anyway.

Passion Restaurant - Resorts World Manila

Better late than never! Ewan ko ba bakit inabot ng ilang buwan bago ako ganahang isulat to. Haha. But anyhow, let's go straight to the details: Le family ordered the package that's good for six people which was around P4,000 (I think). Ang susunod na mas maliit na package ay good for four, which is around P2,500? Please correct me if I'm all wrong kasi anong petcha na teh. Haha. Limot ko na, lalo na pag digits lol. Credits to my former boss for giving all of us under his team GCs Overall, kebs lang lasa. But when I say kebs, it signifies something not so "wow"-ish. Anyway, here are the photos from le bf's camera. Can't remember which one I shot, pero pag maganda, sa kanya yun for sure. Haha. Pag chakabels, mine. Peanuts: Libre ata ito. Or well, siguro naman sa P4,000 na presyo libre na ito. Haha. Labo. Pero ayun, kung may pinaka na-enjoy man ako, ito yun. Sweet sya. Di ko alam why, di ko tinanong basta masarap. At refillable. Haha ang babaw. 

TonTon Massage at The Fort

After much recommendation from le boyfriend, we finally got to try TonTon Authentic Thai Massage together at The Fort. It's a very short walk from my office in BGC. Despite its high end location, the price is surprisingly affordable. The 1-hr whole body massage is at P350 and you could choose to have back or foot massage only for the same duration and price. That's usually the discounted price for those not-so-popular massage havens in online coupon sites already, and yet it's just TonTon's original rate. Photos from their official FB   (The entire area was so dark that it would make no sense to take photos from my phone) Just like in another Thai massage parlor in Makati called Nuat Thai (P250 per hour), the intro of the whole session was a couple of minutes spent in soaking feet in warm water. Sabi ni boyfriend it might contain something else aside from water since iba yung dulas na pakiramdam once dried na ang feet. Anyway, after that, the massage starts.

Beijing Foot Spa - Greenhills

So I'm off to another blog post this Easter! This time, though I've vowed on a teaser yesterday to write 3 restos, let me divert to another spa haven this time in Greenhills, San Juan. I'm talking about Beijing Foot Spa, which is right in front of Mercury Drug in GH and a stone's throw away from G Strip and the GH mall parking lot. Photo from Greenhills.com This was a random spa pick since le boypren and I went to Tiendesitas for some window-puppy-shopping (btw, most of them look sickly and sad). Thanks to the free shuttle from Tien to GH, we got our feet on another adventure. We didn't intend to have a foot massage pero the walk we had in Tien and some strolling in GH for Sigma lenses were both exhausting! We were so tired, siguro dahil na rin sa init ng panahon, so I said na if we could find a TonTon Thai Massage branch somewhere in GH, we would go. Pero we had no more energy left to explore the place even further. We ended up in this posh-looking spa which w
