Spa Pampering

Posted on June 22, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I availed of a GC yesterday (it was the GC’s last day for redemption!) on a Diamond Peel (a facial cleaning procedure) and a 15-minute liposuction  procedure (i requested to have the device go to the tummy).

Ahahaha! This is so funny, I don’t think 15-minutes did anything to my jelly tummy, especially after the appointment, I went to the supermarket and got me a pint of coconut/lychee sherbet.

Anyway, speaking of spa treatments, more and more bridal showers and parties are happening these days. The bridal showers happen a day before the wedding where the younger entourage have spa pampering before the big day. These gifts are usually served cocktails and food and they in turn, bring their gifts (sexy bridal lingerie perhaps?) for the bride.

I like going to the spa every now and then but I don’t usually go when I have to pay, I usually go when I have GCs to use or when I bought an online discount voucher 😀

Mint

Mint bilang gamit sa paglilinis.

Mint

Ano nga ba ang mga katangian ng mint upang masabing ito ay gamit sa paglilinis ng ating katawan?

Sabi sa article na ito na binasa ko ang mint daw ay mainam na pang-alis ng init ng katawan, nakagagaling ng ubo at sipon, nakapag-alis ng maga mula sa mga kagat ng insekto, pati na din ang pagkasira ng tiyan dahil sa food poisoning. Bukod sa mga natatanging  katangiang ito, ang mint ay puno ng bitamina at mineral.

Nga pala, tanim ko ang mint na yan at masarap din yan sa iced tea 🙂

Zumba Wear

Posted on June 1, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

A few Saturdays ago, the hubby, the youngest child and I went to Divisoria in search for belly dancing butt hip scarf. I saw several and I got two: pink and purple. No, I am not into belly dancing (I wish!) but I just thought it would makea nice accent to the leggings and shirt I wear when I go to the Zumba classes I was enrolled in.

Looking at Zumba Wear though made me wonder if a hip scarf was appropriate since most of the Zumba dancers are wearing hip hop clothes.

So for the last session, we were asked to wear something nice so I decided to wear my purple hip scarf. Several of the women in my class wore something similar too, yey!I was not alone wearing those clinking golden coins 😉

Of course I hope I’d be able to wear the right clothes when I enroll again for the next round of sessions.

Not Enough

Posted on May 4, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Been going to Zumba class for more than two weeks already. I don’t know if I’m losing weight or I need to have diet supplements to lose a bit of weight considering I sweat bullets and by the bucket during our sessions.

I know a bi-weekly hour session is not enough. I still have to pick up my Hoopnotica and sway those pear-shaped (or super rounded) hips to oblivion. I still have to get my groove back and dance like no one is watching. Except that all three kids are on a summer vacation so that is impossible.

Gah! I know being past 30 (hah!) makes me lose the weight at a snail’s pace, if there’s any losing anything at all.

I’ll get there. I know.

We Love Walking

Posted on April 21, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

We love walking. I once wrote that walking is one of my simple pleasures. Well, hubby and I do, provided the place has fresh air, has lots of trees and we have something to tide over our thirst and hunger pangs when these make an appearance. Hats and perhaps Trekking Poles to complete our getup and we’re good to go.

My dream walk would be beside a bubbling brook at the foot of a snow-capped mountain with pine and fir trees. I can dream, right? 😀

I know this is far-fetched from the concrete jungle where we live and breath dirty air.
