SKIN Dermatology & Laser Center’s Refirme Treatment

 

The Spa Wellness is one of my top three favorite spots to go to when I need a lush comfortable almost foolproof massage.  Last Saturday, I head to their Fort branch but instead of a relaxing massage, I visited their SKIN clinic.  With its award-winning pampering excellence and rejuvenation at its belt, The Spa Wellness has evolved its services with the opening of SKIN Dermatology & Laser Center.

 

Upon entering SKIN, you’ll feel instantly welcomed by its calming interiors and genuinely smiling receptionists.  I was 15 minutes early for my 12nn appointment, thank goodness for easy parking during weekends.  I was ushered to one of the rooms where I changed into the robe and relaxed my back on the reclining chair, sipping on The Spa’s signature ginger tea.

SKIN Dermatology & Laser Center offers several skin and body services that use state-of-the-art technology, under the care of certified dermatologists in a luxuriously relaxing spa setting.  While I wanted to try their Signature Skin Facial for deep cleansing, mild peel and facial massage to nourish my skin, I veered towards something more forward.  Refirme.  Suitable for my age if I’m trying to keep the concept of “30s as the new 20s.”

Bagahollic Bags Banana / Banane Taipei Contest WINNER!

 

Albeit 8 days late, as usual you know how my busy schedule gets my mind all mixed up lately, I’m finally announcing the winner of Bagahollic Bags Banana / Banane Taipei Contest!  Thank you for your kind patience (sounds like a restaurant on its soft opening)!

 

Thank you for all your entries.  Not a bad turnout despite the busy holidays and people being out of the country or out of town and all.  Below are the entries who made it to the shortlist, top favorites:

Banana / Banane Taipei, Swagger Your Tote! Plus a contest.

 

As you can see from this photo, I love shoes and bags among other things. 

By other things, I generally mean traveling and eating… okay, MOSTLY EATING (get off my case now will ya?  Hahaha).  That is the reason why my 2010 Christmas wish list reflects my affection for all things beautiful and cutesy in shoes and bags.  I am quite blessed to have scratched most (90%) of the items on my wish list last year.  And unexpectedly, just coupla weeks back, I’m scratching another item from the list.  Sometimes they say, when you wish hard enough, the universe conspires to grant your good heart’s desire.

 

Thanks Richard for this photo! 🙂

One of the bags I have been eye-loving for a while back is an ORIGINAL Banana Taipei bag.  Tote bags are so useful and what I particularly adore about Banana / Banane Taipei bags is that it has the most coveted bag strikingly printed on the canvass like you’re using an actual Birkin.  The aesthetic illusion of a Birkin in a lightweight, eco-friendly material is just the chicest tote to carry around.  My Canon 60D DLSR fits inside, which is perfect since I don’t need to carry a bulky camera bag around.

Yosi Samra, Foldable Ballet Flats Out To Be Your Sole Best Friend

 

When I went to Europe with Japs last July-August, one of the harder parts was packing.  I wanted to pack light since we will be moving around a lot.  Still, my aim was to be able to bring as many options for outfits.  I was keen on still looking decent and chic amidst the statuesque fashionable Europeans. 

 

One of the harder dilemmas is finding a comfortable pair of shoes to walk around with.  Sometimes if I’m in the explorer mindset like in Cambodia, I don’t mind donning sneakers for footwear.  It’s comfortable and I can walk for hours in them.  If I’m swaggering in the streets of Italy or Spain, I think I have to lady up and wear something more modish. 

 

What’s the next best thing that can easily match any outfit?  Ballet flats.  Flats are like lifesavers… even in Manila.  Imagine walking from meeting to meeting at the office or coffee shops in pumps or in a sexy stiletto number.  At some point, after 8 or so hours carrying your weight on two pencil-slim sticks will become a burden.  You are not a stranger to this experience.  And neither am I.

Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga and its Outlet Stores

  

  

Pampanga is not only a haven of wonderful and delectable Pampanga dishes, it’s also home to Robinsons Starmills who is known to carry the most outlet stores in one venue.   

  

Bubba and I visited Pampanga for a whole day of food-tripping at Everybody’s Café and Zapata’s in December 2008.  In between our food adventures, we decided to stop by Robinsons Starmills to check out the Mango outlet store there we heard from Marie.  We went home both very happy about our purchases –I had some good fashion finds from Mango and a few tops from Terranova.  Bubba bought a pair of jeans from Levi’s, regularly priced, but he didn’t mind, it was a great fit. 

  

I was able to get 4 dresses from Mango that time that totaled only less than 5K, one of which is a Grecian-type Maxi dress that cost only PHP 1,400. 

  

That’s why I was a bit excited to be back in Robinsons Starmills last Wednesday afternoon (yes, I filed a half-day leave and took a midweek break from work).  It’s been almost two years since my last visit but my hunger to search for good deals never deterred. 

  

It was relatively a short drive of 50 minutes to 1 hour to Pampanga taking the North Luzon Expressway.  Upon arriving, we had some refreshments from the Rosemary and Thyme restaurant.  

  

Armed with a satisfied tummy and a quick run-through of where the stores are located, shopping in the outlet stores has come to full swing.

After shopping, we had a yummy-rific dining experience at Fiesta Kapampangan with live band to entertain us with their music.  Fiesta Kapampangan is a melange of restaurants and food stalls that boast of Kapampangan Cuisine specialties all in one place.

 

 

Shopping review: I got a classy gray turtleneck from Mango (PHP 449), 4 belts (PHP 50 each) and 1 bracelet (PHP 129) from Gozum and 3 shoes from Nine West (total of PHP 1,700) -which would normally retail between PHP 5,000-6,000 a pair!!! 🙂  I got everything for less than PHP 3,000.  What a steal!

 

 

Be amazed with big big discounts on great selections from International brands like Mango, Adidas, Havaianas, Guess, American Rag, etc. and from popular local boutiques like Plains & Prints, Space, etc.  If you’re looking for a year-round sale, Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga is where a shopaholic like yourself should be headed! 😉

A Toned Summer Body with Skechers’ Tone-Ups and Get an Eco Bag With Your Purchase

 

 

By now, you’ve probably heard about how Skechers has this “shoe that rocks”, literally, which has taken the fitness world by storm: its super-hot-selling Shape-Ups

 

Customers from all over the world, including the Philippines, have been captivated by Shape-Ups’ ability to deliver on all of its promises to give the user a real workout simply by walking in them.  Then there’s the product’s incredible comfort that seems near-impossible to match by any other shoe.  Shape-Ups have been so in demand, in fact, that Skechers stores all over the country quickly ran out of stock within a few weeks of hitting the shelves this last holiday season.  Satisfied customers would tell their friends—the product really works.

 

 

Well, Skechers is at it again—this time with Tone-Ups, the sandal version of its blockbuster fitness shoe. 

 

Tone-Ups are designed to promote weight loss, tone your muscles, and improve your posture, among other wonderful wellness benefits that would surely have you wanting your own pair. 

 

The technology of this new product is similar in principle to Shape-Ups, which is to simulate walking on a soft, uneven surface.  This “natural instability” makes your leg and buttock muscles work a little more to find your center of balance.  You get great toning benefits, plus improved posture and a stronger back, simply by walking in them.  Imagine keeping that lovely summer body all year round!

 

Reduce your carbon footprint this summer as Skechers offers customers a free eco tote bag with every shoe purchase.  By making simple changes to our shopping habits, we can help eradicate a lot of environmental issues facing our world today.

 

Tone-Ups are available at Skechers stores in Trinoma, Glorietta 5, Market! Market!, Robinsons Place Manila, Festival Mall Alabang, Marquee Mall Pampanga, Ayala Center Cebu, as well as major department and sport specialty stores.

 

Trek Teaser

 

 

Guess where I was last Friday? 😉

My friend Jayvee once called it, “Mordor.”

How will you get a “yes” to an invite if you described the place as Mordor? 😀

Juned and I looked at each other and laughed.

Err, no thanks.

 

I wasn’t anywhere close to laughing when the 4×4 ride started.

 

But, I gotta say.

Rivendell was at the end of that Mordor trek.

Rivendell? :p

 Sort of.

Sleek:      You’re so ugly… you need me to validate your humanity.

Jane:       You’re so sharp… you can puncture my tires.

Sleek:      With admirers like you, who needs enemies?

 

 

Jane:       Please, for the love of all pretty and fancy…

Sleek:      That’s definitely not YOU.

Jane:       I can make you happy with my company.

Sleek:      You cannot afford me.

Jane:       I have deep pockets.

Sleek:      With holes in them.

Jane:       I don’t intend to dignify your insult with another comment

Sleek:      You just did.

 

With the tough economic times, I refuse to spend on shopping (unless necessary) but I was provoked –vehemently. 

These new pairs won me over!  They are so pretty, I can’t help but fall… Thanks to “lil sis” for you know what!  Love is love.
