travel incentive and bag hunting again

To Hongkong or Macau? Still undecided. We haven't made any final travel arrangements but definitely we are sure to claim our sales incentive on Sept 12-14. I've got one of a hell travel plans next month. And I'll be away from my little girl for seven days ... to know more, read here.

Anyway, since we are confirmed to go ... I am one busy bee doing my shopping list (and budgeting) now. You see, I really need a nice black bag for office use. Despite owning several black bags ... I feel that I need something formal, corporate and serious. Aha! That's the perfect word I can use for hubby --- serious bag! lol.

Since I am a brand loyalist (and a boring shopper) ... I am thinking of getting another LV, An EPI black this time. Just to be on the safe side. My choices are :

LV Passy PM

LV Speedy 30

LV Alma

LV Lockit

I am torn between getting the Alma or Passy PM. Pricey compared to my previous bags but this is made of different material, EPI leather. I can strech my budget to Alma ... but I have to think 5x before getting passy PM. But I so love passy too! Worst, I'll settle to speedy 30 but that would be ultimate bore and conventional. Besides, I already have speedy style. So maiba naman. Hahaha! The LV lockit, same price as speedy but my least favorite among the choices.

Hmmmm... hard to decide especially if you have limited moolah. Of course, as much as I want to buy all...I can afford to buy only one. And it will be unwise (and impractical) to get all black epi bags! Hahaha! So I really need to be a wise buyer ... and note, this is my super early Christmas present na! No more turning back. What do you think?

Btw, I am not sure about Gucci or other brands ... any other suggestions for a nice, corporate and serious black bag?

first session with Belo

After raving about the Belo hair removal promo I availed last week, two of my colleagues also got interested and signed up at Belo-Trinoma. I was able to convince them that the treatment at promo was really a good deal considering other derma clinics charge almost double the price of Belo’s. Moreover with the clinic’s reputation, I am sure treatment will be effective, reliable and safe.

I had my first treatment done last Tuesday lunchtime. Since I was told that treatment will be done in less than 20 minutes, I’ve decided to skip lunch instead and go directly at Belo-Trinoma. I was greeted by a very pretty doctor, Dr. April and was asked few questions such as allergies, medical history prior the treatment. She also discussed with me the laser hair procedure, the do’s and don’ts and what to expect after the session. After the discussion, Dr. April led me to the treatment room with a medical aid waiting for me. I was asked to put on laser goggles to protect my eyes. The aid applied cold cream on my armpits and after few minutes, I felt the stingy sensation of the laser machine, gently touching my left armpit. In less than fifteen minutes, the session was done. I was told to apply the laser cream for the next three days (morning and evening) to soothe my armpits. I was told by Dr. April no shaving, plucking to be done until the next session. Instead of using deodorant, need to put baby powder only. Hmmm… never heard that before, that is something new! Initially, there will be no changes on my armpits, hair will still grow but eventually fall-off. Changes may be seen after the third session.

And now I am looking forward to complete my treatment. I just can’t wait to shop for those skin-revealing, bare-back blouses from MNG and Zara. Or probably be more daring next time and get sexy costumes for the upcoming bridal shower party of my colleague next month. Hah, just can’t wait! lol.

‘til my next session post …

Spa Overload

SPA OVERLOAD ... had an ultimate pampering this week...

We just finished our two-day Spa Party for our valued-clients at the newly-opened Suriya Spa, Tiendesitas located near Fun Ranch. The place was exclusively booked to us and we were able to serve yummy cocktail food from Bizu. Since we were the host, we get to treat ourselves for a day of pampering too (actually days)! Had two-hour mind and body massage treatment on the first day ; hour and a half feet treatment with reflexolgy service the next day. Truly a body rewarding delight!!

I heart Suriya spa so much. As you enter the spa lobby you will be immediately greeted by smiling attendants, relaxing aromatic smell of oils, and minimalist decor. Love their facilities too. A rating of 10+ can be given for their modern and zen-minimalist design of rooms. No common spa room for guests. It's like having a spa treatment exclusively for you...even jacuzzi and beautiful overhead shower enclosures available in each room. Towels and robes are all soft, fluffy and scented. Rooms are spacious and soft-lighted. Mood music soothes you while having your treatment. The place really gives you a serene, calming experience. Highly recommended!

Do check out ... because I heart the place so much ... I am thinking of setting up a spa party here again. What do you think, mommy bloggers? Can we have our next EB exclusively here at Suriya Spa? :)
