Pamper Day Saturday

It's a rainy weekend and as much as we wanted to stay in, my mom and I had to go out and take care of some errands. A few days ago, I was given a gift certificate for a free signature foot spa. Special thanks to Ms. Jane, the owner of Polish and Strip here in Santa Rosa. I've been a happy customer and I keep coming back to avail of their services. My recommendations must have paid off! Check out my review on the place HERE. Anyway, I went back to avail of my free service. Wee!

I cannot emphasize enough how badly I needed a foot spa done by an actual trained technician. Even though I try to do things on my own, even my own foot spa, but there are some things that an amateur like me just can't seem to do! So, yes. Hence my second trip to the nail salon for the second week this time. 

After the warm foot soak, my feet were immersed in this massaging bubbly machine thingamajig. LOL. It's a little ticklish but who doesn't rejoice at the sight of bubbles? I know I do!

Ms. Sarah, my attendant worked on one foot at a time.

While the foot bubble soak thing was going on, Ms. Sarah massaged my arms and hands. I felt like succumbing to exhaustion. This week has been physically demanding and unbelievably hectic! I needed all this goodness and more. What a way to treat my body and my senses!

Then came the labor-intensive kaskas portion. After removing the calluses with her sandpaper paddle and the grater thing, I was asked to choose between green tea and peppermint foot scrub. I chose the latter. ;)

After the scrub, a foot mask was applied on to my footsies! It was soooo cold and quite rejuvenating. Then came the plastic cling wrap and warm towel. Can you feel the pampering now?

I drifted off in between these shots. It was such a relaxing experience. I cannot even begin to tell you. I think you have to try it out for yourself. ;) I feel recharged and ready to go! All set for the busy weeks up ahead!

After the entire pamper sesh, Mom and I went to Nuvali for milk tea (Serenitea) and Krispy Kremes! We even saw Chito Miranda and his beau. 

If not for the 45-minute drive back home (on normal days, it only takes 5 minutes to get from there and back or vice-versa), the day would have been perfect! 

I still haven't started editing my presentations for my teaching demo (part 2). I feel so lazy and sluggish because of the gloomy bed weather! Kids, procrastination is never a good idea. I promise to work on it tomorrow! No more excuses! :))

How did your Saturday go? :)

Love,

Steady Saturday

Mom and I were supposed to go to a family lunch then to catch a movie, and another family dinner! Whew! We ended up grocery and window-shopping in ATC, carbo-loading (thanks to the heavenly banoffee pie from Banapple and doughnuts from Krispy Kreme!), healthy shake-gulping (finally tried Jamba Juice), and more walking around. We got tired, struggled through the traffic in Alabang and drove over to Mama Terry's house.

Oh sweet heavens! Banoffee Pie from Banapple is arguably one of the best in the metro!

I need a manicure, stat! OMG my poor nails! :(

Bakya/Sandals: Happy Feet

Meet my perky and ever-supportive Momsy! <3

Project kung project! Gow!

 Meet our baby Rania! She's soooo pretty! Whenever we come by for a visit, I always make sure to bring her pasalubong (this time we got her Krispy Kreme doughnuts) and the kids (my stuffed toys) so her toys can play with mine. ;) She's just the sweetest!

About the outfit, I wanted something that's comfortable enough to walk around in but covers me enough to watch a movie in (Mom initially wanted to see one). We explored the new wing in ATC. Before we went to Mama Terry's, we squeezed in a prolonged trip to the grocery. We now love Makati Supermart! It seems to have it all! I got ingredients for future recipes (watch out for that) and other supplies. I grabbed a Strawberry Swirl form Jamba Juice on the way out (my very first cup!). I loved it, except the energy booster didn't seem to work. I felt sleepy about one or two hours after drinking the shake. :( But I'm definitely going back for seconds. Perhaps other flavors will appeal to me more. Any suggestions? Teehee.

That's it for my steady Saturday. How did yours go? :)

Love,
