Hunny & Bunny

I had lots of credit points from Living Social and had to finish it. There are many restrictions too and since I can only use those credit points on service or food vouchers, I decided to spend it on spa and massages.

When I saw this deal for RM48, I bought it and when my husband heard, he wanted to come along too. I ended up buying 2 of these vouchers.

I tried to make an appointment for us to go together while the kids are in school but they are always full. Finally I got a slot about 3 weeks later. We weren't in a hurry and I had no choice so we agreed.

On the day of the appointment, we got there early. Thank god we did as we couldn't find the spa. We parked on the main road of Plaza Damas (opposite Innai) and was walking around for the spa but couldn't find it. Turns out, it is actually not on the main road. 

If you can see from the voucher, it says that the name of the spa is Reffinej Wellness. We walked around and couldn't find it. We see signboards and banners of their promotion but we couldn't find the same name. It was so weird.

Finally we went inside this spa called Hunny & Bunny beauty and greeted by 2 ladies. Turns out, they had a chance of management recently and changed their name to Hunny & Bunny. If only they told us when they called me the day before to reconfirm the appointment. 

Anyways, as you can see.. The package is for:
1. Full body massage with aromatherapy and hot stone
2. Tummy ginger therapy; OR
3. Body scrub

The lady asked us what treatment we wanted. I was confused. She told us that the body scrub is actually just back scrub. And if we didn't want it, they will just do the massage for longer. Whatever happened to tummy ginger therapy? I have no idea.

We were then escorted to the massage room upstairs. It was supposed to be a couple's room but we got single rooms. It doesn't matter to me but some might be more confortable having their husbands in the same room. 

My husband didn't want the hot stone massage and wanted the normal massage but I chose to have the hot stone massage. 

The first 20 minutes, both therapist was busy chatting with each other. I got a little bit annoyed as I prefer to enjoy my massage when it's quiet and also I think they can focus better when they're not chatting to one another. Our rooms was next to each other too, so they had to talk pretty loudly. Thank god they stopped talking after awhile and soon I started to enjoy my massage.

Overall, the massage was awesome. The pressure was good and consistent. I was enjoying it very much. The hot stone treatment was good too. My husband also enjoyed his massage very much. 

After our 2 hour massage, we were served with hot ginger tea which was amazingly delicious! 

It was definitely worth the try. We both loved the massage. They asked us to sign up for a package but we didn't because we weren't confident that the therapist would stay working there.

The lady who massaged my husband has been working there for 2 years and the other one just started working for 6 months. When asked about their new management, both didn't want to comment - which to me isn't a good sign! LOL.

Important thing to note is they don't accept male customer when they come on their own unless they already have a package with them. This is good I feel. 

Try their massage or buy the voucher from Living Social. It's worth it!

Mascara Tips For Fuller Looking Lashes


I have big eyes. That's the first thing people notice about me. I used to buy tonnes of eye make up to make them look bigger but being a mum with 2 young kids, I don't have much time to do eye make up anymore. Less is more when you are a mother, I feel. Still, I have to look nice when I'm out and that's the first thing that will catch people's attention. Since I don't put on a lot of make up anymore, I make sure I do the basic. Put on my BB cream, fill up my eyebrows, put on a lipgloss & most importantly, put on my mascara.
One of the makeup item that I often use is the mascara. Mascara allows women to have longer lashes and makes them feel more feminine inside out. However, it cannot be denied that women tend to have some problems in applying it nicely onto their beautiful eyelashes for a good effect. There are three simple techniques which can help you to achieve fuller looking lashes without even putting on the fake ones. I thought it would be good to share it with you.


1. Put some powder
 
Before you apply your mascara, put a bit of powder on your lashes to make it look more plump and full. This is a trick where most people are not aware of and it definitely works! Put a few dust of powder onto your eyelashes but make sure to not get onto your eyes. Slip on the mascara and your lashes will look fuller than ever before.
 
 
2. Zig Zag technique
 
The next trick for women is to apply the mascara is a zig zag motion on your upper and bottom lashes. Start applying it from the root upwards and it will give you not only fuller lashes but longer length. Besides that, applying your mascara in a zig zag motion can also avoid clumps on the eyelashes and separates it evenly.
 

 

3. A Few Coats
 
The rule of only applying two coats of mascara onto your eyelash is definitely wrong. Women should apply a few more coats as for a perfect looking result but make sure to evenly apply it before the mascara liquid gets dry. Choose a black coloured one as the colour black can make you have a bolder and dramatic eye look. If you are looking for some new mascara to add into your makeup kit at home, check out ZALORA website as it offers a wide mascara selection online from local and international brands.
