Ear Candling

I had breakfast at La Bodega one morning and walked past CN Beauty. They had all sorts of promotion going on and I decided to step inside to see what they have.

They do all sorts of things there. From facial to massage to whatever, you name it, they do it.

I spent almost half an hour with the beautcian. She was telling me about some facial treatments that they have that will be good for me. Maybe I will give it a go someday.

They also do ear candling and since I wanted to do something, why not this?
With the promotion that they have going on now, it will only cost me RM50!

The whole thing was alright. I've done it before so it's nothing new to me.
You basically just need to lie down and they'll massage your neck and ears. At the end of the session you are supposed to feel 'lighter' and better.

Hmmm...did I?
Well, not really. I feel the same but it's still good to know that I've done something good for myself today.

SPA-rty

SPArty. SPA-Party. Get it? :P

My best friend is getting married next week and I had organised a pampering session for the bride to be and some girlfriends.
Also, it's been a long week for me as well and I need some major pampering session.

Because this is a much needed session (for me, more than the bride to be!), I wanted to go to somewhere 'safe'. Somewhere I trust will do a good job. I didnt want to try somewhere new for this session.

I dediced to go to Energy Day Spa in Mont Kiara. The place is just lovely and it's cozy enough for 4 girls to spend some time for a few hours.

I called them up to make an appointment for Saturday. Yippieee!!! I'm so excited. I think I am more excited than the soon to be bride. Ah well..

For 4 people or more, they have this promotion where you can enjoy:

1. Steam Bath
2. Salt Glow Scrub
3. Foot Bath
4. Body Massage
5. Healthy Spa Cuisine

all for only RM250.00 per person! That's a good deal if you ask me.

My massage was 'da bomb'... It was sooooooooo good that I didnt want to fall asleep cuz I want to enjoy every minute of it but I couldnt cuz it was soooooo good that I fell asleep! I think at one point I was actually snoring (and I never snore) and I woke myself up cuz I got the shock of my life! heheh...
Sound stupid. How can you wake yourself up from snoring, right? Trust me, it can happen and it happened!
Anyway, it was the best massage I ever had. Confirmed!!!

While the therapist was scrubbing me, I asked her a few questions. My dream is to have my own spa someday so I wanted to do some 'research' :P
Her name is Lina and she's indonesian. She used to work for Thalgo in Mandarin Oriental. When she told me that, I immediately felt 'safe'. She must be quite good.
She's been working for Energy Day Spa for 4 years. I cant believe this place has been up and running for 4 years and I only knew about it this year?!! OMG!!

I just cant say enough about the massage. I love it! I love it! I love it!

After the massage and after the whole thing, the girls and I had a healthy spa cuisine at the rooftop. We were given a menu earlier before our treatment started.
I decided to have the pumpkin soup (yum yum) and the rest had salad and other stuff.
We also had a choice of fruit juice. I had the strawberry and banana and orange juice. It was so yummy.

Everyone had a nice time except for one of the girls. For some reason, her therapist did not massage her front. Didnt massage her legs and tummy. She said that the girl kept massaging her shoulders and neglected her legs while she was lying down face up.
Weird. We think her therapist fell asleep. She said at one point when the therapist was massaging her shoulder, she just kept still for almost 2 minutes.

So this girlfriend of mine werent happy at all. Poor thing.
I'm happy I didnt get that therapist!!! :)

Before we left, we complaint and told the spa manager what happened. The therapist denied everything and said she did massage her legs and front. She said my friend must have fallen asleep and they argued for abit and then the manager said ok, she'll give an extra 30 minutes massage the next time my friend comes back.
Well, I dont think she'll be going back there, that's for sure.
She was too angry that the therapist denied it and accused her of falling asleep!

Too bad that happened cuz everyone else had a good time and enjoyed their time there.
I feel quite bad for recommending her to come there cuz she clearly wasnt pleased.

Anyhow, I enjoyed my session and in fact, I loved it...

I cant wait to go back!!!

When? Next week?

The Vino Therapy Renewal Package
- Steam Bath
- Body Polish and Mask

Definitely going there to check this out..

Scrub & Massage

I took a package at Khareya for the massage and I'm left with another session there. I love the massage the cuz they're really good.

I made an appointment and asked for the same girl to massage me, her name is Novi.
I remember her name cuz I had a good friend in University from Jakarta with that name.
So anyways, this time, instead of just going for a massage, I decided to go for a body scrub as well.

The lady at the spa told me that they have a new range now. Apart from the usual products they also have this new range of Dewi Sri Spa products. She told me to pick which scrub I want. The smell were all very fruity and nice and yummy. I couldnt decide. It was all lovely.

In the end, I picked the tea tree or something like that. Lovely.

Scrub was good as usual and massage was fantastic.
I asked Novi for stronger pressure massage and it was sooooooooo nice. Very strong, just like how I like it. At times, it was a bit too strong that I didnt get to sleep but still, I loved it.

I love Khareyana Spa. I want a spa like that so I can be there 24/7
:)

Massage at Home

My friend recommended me to this kakak sometime last year. Her name is Kak Ilah and she's pretty good.
She does traditional massage, manicure & pedicure, facial and scrub as well at the comfort of your own home.

If you need a massage but cant be bothered to go to the spa, you can give her a call. She does house calls for just RM50 per hour. She goes as far as Shah Alam.

I've recommended her to some of my friends and they seem to agree that she's good.
Only thing is, she talks alot so dont start being too friendly. I normally prefer to go to a spa because I can get my body scrub and all done there at the same time and be out of the house but whenever I need a massage at home, this is the lady I would call.

Try her...
