One of the things that relieves our stresses from the daily work-life grind is to have a perfectly paced massage day. What would make the pampering experience better and uber relaxing than to having it done at one of the best wellness centers in the city - The SPA.
I'm happy I was finally able to use the The SPA gift certificates I received last Mother's Day. I know, I know.. what took me that long to use it right? June and July came as two of the saddest and busiest this year. I wrote about that HERE.

After our separate shower and steam baths, The SPA gave us a cup of their signature ginger tea before heading on to our massage room. We usually take couple's room when we have our massages together. You will be asked to undress by the therapist, but no worries if you're shy or uncomfortable, you'd still be pretty much covered with a blanket the whole time.

The key is to relax and trust your therapist to do her job well. At The SPA, their therapists are well-trained and also very courteous so you're assured you get quality service. Here are some photos of The SPA in Trinoma:

 |
| Locker and grooming area. Lotion, powder and hair dryer are available for use. |
The massage was so good that I dozed off. Good thing the therapist politely woke us up to notify us that our massages were done and to get ready for our next set of services.
After the massage I had manicure and pedicure done while hubby had The SPA's Feetish Foot Spa. We were escorted to another room which had lazy boy chairs to ensure that the pampering experience would be nothing less than relaxing.

The SPA has four different types of service accommodations: De Luxe and Executive are the more affordable ones while the Premiere Suite/Villas and the Loft for me are for those who want to experience luxurious spa privacy. The Loft however is recommended for sparties and events but only available at their The Fort branch.

10 SPA Do's & Don'ts:
- Do make an appointment first by calling the branch. Tell what time you are coming and when you want the massage done.
- Do come on time.
- Do tell if can't make it to your appointment.
- Don't eat heavily nor drink alcoholic beverages before the massage.
- Do be comfortable and trust your therapist.
- Do be clean before the massage starts.
- Do communicate your preferences to your therapists.
- Don't be noisy or talk loudly so you won't disturb other guests who came there to relax.
- Don't linger too long. after the massage finishes to give way to other guests
- Don't forget to give service tips.
- Do drink plenty of water after the massage.
- Don't work out after the massage, let your muscles repair and relax for a bit.
As a busy mom, whether like me you work full-time or stay-at-home/work-from-home, a good massage is highly recommended for you to ease the tensed muscles brought about by all the hard work we do at work and at home. Don't be guilty for sneaking at least an hour for this healthy me-time. Indulge in a therapeutic and relaxing massage at least once a month for an overall body repairing and rejuvenating.

ReplyDeleteGo sis @Leovelyn Viñas Ramos.. make lovey-dovey bonding time with hubby soon! :)
ReplyDeleteIt actually depends on your food package Yvette. :) Maybe around 10K pwede na. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, okay. Thankyou! Package 1 po yung kukunin ko, magkano po ba estimated price? :)
ReplyDeletepackage 1 is P3.8K x 2 for 60 pax plus party fee mga around 10K. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBakit po samin d inallow ang items galing labas,like hats,name tag etc kz wala silang stock?sabi nila ung branch nila marereport bat sainyo allowed pati cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteThere were no party hats name tags which were brought in from outside. Cakes are optional if you buy from them or not. So bringing in from outside is OK as long as we don't EAT them inside. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, may I know your food choices? saken kasi 90pax costs almost 15k na, feeling ko tuloy overpriced. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello! I have different food for the adults and kids kasi. For adults: Chicken Spaghetti, drinks and sundae. While for kids, I had burger, fries, drinks and sundae. :)
ReplyDeleteBakit po yung sa amin 25k+ po pero wala pong naibigay na freebie? hindi po kaya nakalimutan lang iabot kasi ung nga rin po yung usapan last time tapos nag end po yung party pag dating namin sa bahay is dun lang namin naalala na wala silang ibinigay.
ReplyDeletemagkano ung part ng baby
ReplyDeleteAll branches offer the same party packages, depending on the food and number of pax who will attend, also party favors. Kindly check on the branch of your choice for more details. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePano po ung sa party now pay later ?
ReplyDeleteAnu po ba meaning nung party now pay later nyo ?
ReplyDeleteA shiatsu foot massage can help lower high blood pressure, along with
ReplyDeletereducing stress and tension. Regular shiatsu foot massages can also help
to improve circulation in your lower legs, and reduce the appearance of
varicose veins.
Hi much the cost if i order 50pax of value kids meal...party in school?
ReplyDeleteHello Joyce! I just wrote about my experience of my son's birthday party in a Jollibee branch, which you may get ideas from this post. For other set ups and costings, you may directly ask the Jollibee branch near you because I think they will include a delivery charge. :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have actually read a lot of your blog posts in the last hour. I really enjoy what you are doing here. (And as a writer of fantasy novels, I'm enjoying looking at different aspects of that when you go through them in blog post). And truly, I love world-culture building.very comfortable chair i feel very relaxed when i massage on this massage chair.

HI louise my name is Ruby a mother of turning 3 yr old boy :) i was googling ideas for a jollibee party im planning on having for my son this nov and came across to your blog. Just wondering do you know if they have a branch that occupy more than 150pax? also do they cater if i have a location set up? was planning on making a phone call and ask but im all the way here in chicago and don't know the best number to ask my questions :) thanks for your time :)
ReplyDeleteThey have bigger branches like in E. Rodriguez, QC, Roosevelt Ortigas Ave., San Juan, to name a few. If you have a location, you could ask them to deliver the packed meals which come with your ordered party package. You may also pay for a Jollibee mascot appearance. Thank you. :)
