It's time

I'm due for my next spa session, but which spa??!!!
I think this time around, I'm going to try one of the Martha Tilaar spa.
I'm thinking either the one in Hartamas or in Shah Alam.
I dont know which is better.. I'll update soon. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, pls drop me a line...

Dewi Sri Spa Reviving Scrub

This is the best body scrub ever!

As far as I know, Khareyana Spa uses Dewi Sri Spa by Martha Tilaar products. I love the feeling after my trip to Khareyana that when I was in Bali, I purchased this Reviving Body Scrub. I actually got it because I just love the smell.

When I got home, I tried using it and the result was amazing. My body never felt softer after a DIY at home scrub. This is a good product. I regret not getting the body lotion :(

I wonder if they sell it here in KL. I'm sure they do...

Petua

I went to my tailor's today to make the dress for my engagement next month and the first thing she said to me was "sudah put on weight sikit ka?" and I was like "hmmm....sikit la". I mean, what else can I say right? She told me that I look 'bigger' especially my face. argh...
So I made sure she took new measurements..just in case..

While she was taking my measurements, she said I'm actually still ok. She said luckily my arms are still skinny and because of that, I dont look THAT big. Hello!!! I'm not big ok!

I told her that my concern is actually just my tummy n also my butt. It's in the family, I cant run away from that. She told me a petua...

Tailor: Lepas u makan....jangan duduk for setengah jam
Me: Hah? Jangan duduk? Then nak buat ape?
Tailor: Buat apa saja tapi jangan duduk
Me: hmmmm.........(Confused cuz I dont know what to do) ok!
Tailor: Jangan mandi lepas makan
Me: ya...ok...

So I found out 2 things today:

1. Dont sit after a meal. Go for a walk or do something...
2. Dont have a shower after a meal

Hopefully this will work. I doubt I'll do it cuz I like to lie down after a meal.
heheh......no wonder I have such a fat tummy!

sigh...

I need to loose weight before 31st August (Engagement).. I'm gonna start using my OGAWA Magic Belt

Multivitamin Power Firm

I invested RM199 on this new eye cream. Hopefully it works.

I've been using Total Eye Care, with spf 15 (By Dermalogica) for over a year now but I cant really see the difference. I guess it's probably because I dont really use it everyday. But I use it almost everyday! So it should work, a little bit shouldnt it?

Although some people have told me that I dont look my age (ahem ahem), whenever I look at myself in the mirror, to me...I look old. I kinda look my age :(
especially in photos. I dont like taking photos of myself anymore.

I decided to invest on another eye cream. Apparently using just total eye care is not enough and I was told to apply Multivitamin Power Firm at night and Total Eye Care during the day.

Multivitamin Power Firm is supposed to reduce lines around the eye and lip area. It is also good to firm the skin and can improve smoothness.

(Fingers crossed)

The Best

In my opinion...

The BEST facial : Dermalogica (Duh, cuz I refuse to try anywhere else)
The BEST body scrub : Khareyana Spa
The BEST massage : Khareyana Spa or Energy Day Spa, Mont Kiara
The BEST bath : Sembunyi Spa
The BEST ginger tea : Ozmosis Spa
The BEST spa (Decor) : Energy Day Spa
The BEST foot massage : COZY, Bali
The BEST value-for-money : Khareyana Spa
The BEST shower in a spa : Khareyana Spa
The BEST Steamroom : Sembunyi Spa

If you can combine all the above and have one spa with all that, that'll be fantastic!!!

BodyWorks Spa, Bali

The GM of Sun Island recommended for me to try this spa out. In fact, he gave me 2 options but somehow or rather, they (the villa) booked this one instead of the other one. I think the other one was fully booked or something like that.

I arrived on time for my appointment at 10am. I decided to go for 2 hours massage and that package includes scrub and bath, which means, the actual massage was only about an hour or so.

I was told to wait a moment, while they prepare the room and all that. The spa is huge. It's like a whole villa. Kind of have that roman feel to it.

When I got to the room, I was shocked to see the size. It's huge. Very old-ish feel and it reminds me of Roman Bath. It's different than any other spas I've been to, that's for sure.

Treatment started with the massage. Massage was good and better than the one I had at the Sun Island Spa. It was above average. The massage went on for about an hour or so followed by the scrub. Hmm.....Scrub was ok too but not that thorough.
I still feel that Khareyana's Scrub is the best so far. This one was ok...but they didnt really scrub me that well.

After the scrub, the therapist gave me a shower. After the shower, she covered me with yogurt and left it for about 5 minutes. It felt really weird. Never had yogurt on me before. I think it is supposed to be good for the skin. Apparently the yogurt's enzymes can stimulate cell activity and restore the PH balance of the skin and it's suppose to make your skin feel soft. Hmm.....I guess its true.

Finally it's the flower bath. That was quite nice. The bath was HUGE. I spent about 10 minutes in there and then got changed and treatment was over.

Overall it was good. Above average but I'm sure there are better spas in Bali. In terms of the place itself, it was different but I was hoping to try a traditional Balinese spa. You know, with the nice Balinese architecture and all that. But this one is different so it is a rather pleasant experience.


I really cant wait to go back to Bali to try other spas.

Cozy® Bali

I couldnt wait to start blogging about this place. This is my favourite place in the world! he he he...

When I was at the Villa, the GM recommended for me to try the 1.5 hours foot reflexology at Cozy®. I was like "Whhhatt??! 1.5 hours??! R u serious??!"
He told me that this is the best place to have a foot massage.
I told him to make an appointment for me to check this place out.

My appointment was at 6pm and I was there right on time. I couldnt wait to start I suppose. I was so excited. This place is situated in Kuta. On one of their main roads so I've actually drove past this place and saw the huge signboards a couple of times before. Didnt know what to expect but it looks alright.

When I got inside, I was shocked to see so many people. There's 2 reception area (or was it 3?) to sign people in. Can you believe? And then there's a juicebar behind the centre reception. Once I got there, they took my name and I was told to take a seat at the juicebar. I was tempted to order a drink but at the same time, I was too amazed at the traffic coming and going out of this place that I completely forgot about ordering a drink!

I waited a long while for someone to come to me. About 15 minutes later, this lady came up to me and asked me to pick the oil for my foot massage. I chose the relaxation one. Nice smell of lavender.
Next, I was told to choose my music. WHATTT???!!! You can choose the music you want to listen to during the massage? This is wayyyy too cool.
I picked Jazz music. I think they had all sorts, Rock, Classical, Indonesian etc. You name it.

Only about another 15 minutes later the lady called my name "Ibu Zura..." hhmmm....
I was brought upstairs to the massage area on the first floor. Waooooooaaaaaa!!!!!!!
The area was so nice. It's all white and baby blue decor and they even had fish tanks opposite each massage chair. Too bad we were'nt allowed to take photos. I was in heaven.

The massage was FANTASTIC! The BEST I'VE EVER HAD! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really really in heaven.
I was also given an ipod to listen to my chosen music. Unfortunately, I didnt know how to operate the damn thing properly so I had no choice but to listen to some weird song, some arabic-ish type of music but kind of funky and kind of jazzy.

On the table next to me, they had this cute note book where you can share your experience. I read some of the stuff written and they all seem to love their massage.
I was tempted to write something but I was too focused on enjoying my massage that I didnt want to do anything else but close my eyes and think of wonderful beautiful thoughts.

After the over an hour long of foot massage, I was also given a head, neck and shoulder massage. It was the best EVER!!! Really. Im not kidding.

All that for guess how much???
Approximately RM25! For an hour and half foot massage with neck, head and shoulder massage as well. You get to listen to the ipod, look at nice fishes in the tank and all that. It really trully was the best experience ever.

If you are in Bali, pls drop by this place and check it out. They have 2 outlets in Bali itself. In Kuta, it is on Sunset Road. They're open daily from 11am till 10pm.

Other than foot massage, they also have full body, head, face massage as well. I wish I had the chance to try everything but unfortunately, this trip is too short!

I'll miss Bali especially for this!

I dont wanna go home!!!! I feel good!
