The last time I had a facial was last August and that was when I was still in PH.  It's been a while yes, but you see I can be quite picky when it comes to entrusting my skin to a facial clinic. I mean, aren't we all?  Well I guess not everybody, but seriously, we should all be.    So when I got the chance to try out a facial treatment from Kaya Skin Clinic, I didn't think twice. Not because I know I'd be getting the service for free, but because they are known to be one of the trusted skincare clinics here in the UAE. As a blogger, I also sometimes get an invite to try out skin treatments but I don't always say "Yes."  You might think I'm being a diva, but I am definitely not. I'm just being careful as I don't want to be just grabbing anything free that comes my way and then end up being sorry or ranting online when it doesn't turn out good.  And remember, it's my skin we are dealing with here.  I'm sure you'd do the same....

We had some friends from PH who were here for a convention and we brought them to a desert safari. Unlike my first experience which is a total "blah," I really had a great time this time around. We really felt like we were in a roller coaster ride.  Kudos to our driver who have been doing it for more than 10 years so I guess, he can do it even with his eyes closed.   I had a full day last Friday: hubby's basketball game around noon, desert safari from late afternoon until around 9pm and a get together with another circle of friends until around 3am.  I usually just spend weekends at home, but it's nice to have some activities from time to time.    One thing that ...

I've been hearing about Ellen's Aesthetic Center and seeing their signboard in Pampanga (whenever I'm on my way home) since time immemorial, so I knew they have been in the beauty industry for a long time already. Truth be told, I thought Ellens is more for older women and that they don't have advanced beauty treatments/services. Oh boy, I was so WRONG. It was one rainy Saturday when Sophie scheduled me to have a beauty and pampering day at Ellens. After our (supposedly light) lunch at King Chef, we went straight to Ellens branch at Tomas Morato and this is what greeted me: I didn't know that they are the faces of Ellens Aesthetic Center. So there, my stupid thinking is starting to get corrected. I love their interiors: this display cabinet feels and looks so majestic! very clean and cozy the stairs on the right is the way to their upper floors where the pampering begins When Sophie told me about their footspa area, I got so curious and when I finally saw it for ...
