As a busy mom, I rarely have time for myself, let alone any pampering sessions. But after a long and tiring week of running around for my family, I finally found the time to treat myself to a much-needed spa day at BlueWater Day Spa. And let me tell you, it was the best decision I've made in a while.

Recently, BlueWater Day Spa has welcomed two new brand ambassadors to their team, which got me curious about their services. David Licauco, a businessman and GMA 7's "Pambansang Ginoo," shared how he looks forward to his favorite Balinese massage at BlueWater Day Spa after a hectic week. 

 Meanwhile, Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez swears by BlueWater Day Spa's Deep Tissue Massage and IPL Hair Removal service to help alleviate her chronic muscle tension.

Aside from these two celebrities, BlueWater Day Spa has also introduced other beauty queens as their endorsers. The addition of Miss World Philippines 2022 Gwendolyne Fourniol, Miss Supranational 2022 Alison Black, Miss Eco Philippines 2022 Ashley Subijano Montenegro, Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2022 Ingrid Santamaria, and Miss Eco Teen International 2022 1st runner-up Beatriz Mcleland is a testament to the high-quality services that BlueWater Day Spa offers.

 

The range of services that BlueWater Day Spa offers is extensive and caters to a variety of needs. From rejuvenating massages to facials and sculpting treatments that help maintain a toned physique, they have unique and niche massage services such as the Four Hand Massage, Therapeutic Colonic Massage, and Pregnancy Massage. I opted for the rejuvenating massage, and it was worth every penny.

If you're looking for a much-needed break from your daily routine, I highly recommend you visit BlueWater Day Spa. Trust me, it's the perfect place to unwind, relax, and recharge your mind and body.

The month of May is my month! Not just because all the mommies are celebrating Mothers Day but it is also our youngest son's birthday.Unfortunately, one of the saddest day in our life came. The start of the month is not good. My father was hospitalized and it didn't took long before he was taken from us. We lost him. A heart attack was the cause of his death. He is with God now.

May 11, we just had a simple birthday celebration for our Son Gelo. It was hard to feel happy because my father that time was in the hospital but we had to for our little boy. The day after we celebrate the birthday of My Son, we lost our Father.

There were so many things to do during the wake of my father and there were sleepless nights, stress, and emotional instability that made my body feel so weak.

Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguised that after 2 long stressful weeks, Blue Water Day Spa was a rescue. I was one of the invited moms for the Mommies Pampering Day. I know my father would have let me have it. I am so grateful that this happens and it was good stress reliever. Here are some of the massages that they offer:

Cellulite Melter Massage
Take pleasure in a rigorous massage that eliminates fluid retention, detoxifies and burns fat and cellulite. The treatment is applied with a special anti-cellulite oil to reinforce fat breakdown, evidently felt during the treatment with a warm sensation.

Body Scrubs

Intense Whitening
Tired of being in the shade? Get fairer skin all over with this skin treatment that uses state-of-the-art Swedish whitening products enhanced with Vitamin C. The 1-hour treatment involves cleansing, micro- exfoliation, application of an intensive whitening mask via body wrapping, and moisturizing. Expect progressively visible results afterwards!

Olive Scrub
Bring dull skin to life with a refreshing body scrub that moisturizes and helps skin remain soft and smooth while keeping it toned and firmed.

Green Tea Scrub
Get cleansing, gentle exfoliation and super moisturization in one easy treatment. Green tea is known to be an antioxidant powerhouse. It is said to help in slowing down the premature aging process, thus leaving your skin youthful. Green Tea is an excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that protects the skin against free radical damage, increases the effectiveness of sunscreen and reduces inflammation caused by sun damage.

Pomegranate Scrub
It’s rumored that Eve’s forbidden fruit was a pomegranate, not an apple! The pomegranate originally comes from Iran, and its exotic taste is both sweet and sour. Its seeds are rich in both vitamins and minerals and are said to contain more antioxidants than green tea and also to have healthy levels of folic acid, iron, and potassium. The antioxidants in pomegranate juice are reported to stimulate collagen production when used both topically and consumed internally, which will then combat the ravages of free radicals, which are very much like rust.

Botanical Rice & Milk (NEW & IMPROVED)
Soften your skin with nature’s staples - rice and milk. This natural body mask, applied after a relaxing salt and oil body scrub, restores the skin’s pH level to make it soft, supple and nourished.

Traditional Filipino Hilot
Come home to the tender and healing massage strokes of traditional Filipino descent: the hilot. Enhanced with a 15-minute Ventusa (Chinese cupping) technique that uses indigenous herbs, this massage soothes tense muscles and eliminates nodules forming particularly on the back area.

I personally chose the Traditional Filipino Hilot, we all like this very much. I really need this kind of massage. I forgot the name who.did the Massage to me. According to her, my body has so much stress and Lamig. She stayed on massaging at my back and specially at my shoulder it was a soothing feeling that fell me asleep. There were also a so called Lamig, she just slowly pressed it until mawala ang lamig sa katawan.

I did not let her do the ventusa instead she just put a hot towel at my back to ease the stress. It was almost 2 hours of massage and I feel so relieve, is just like I spend long sleep. The Massager is so magaan ang kamay and the coziness of the room is match for you to feel relax at the same time.

It was a great afternoon spending the day with the other Mommy Bloggers in a pampering day at Blue Water Day Spa.

Last September, Blue Water Day Spa launched their newest service "Therapeutic Colonic Massage" with their ambassadors namely Ariella Arida-Miss Universe Third Runner up 2013, Ken Alfonso-Actor and Singer, Winwyn Marquez-Acrtress and Christian Bautista-Singer and Actor.
During the event, Blue Water Day Spa had a demo of the Therapeutic Colonic Massage.
Combining medical science with Blue Water Day Spa hospitality and relaxation, the Therapeutic Colonic Massage helps gently remove excess toxins from your body, starting with those that have accumulated in your digestive system.

The treatment concentrates on the core (abdominal area), loosening the hardened blockages in your system through massage. The body then naturally expels these wastes through normal body function.
Enjoy the full-hour treatment, made more relaxing with the use of chamomile oil, in the calming ambience of the Blue Water Day Spa suites. Though the massage on the abdomen itself takes approximately 20 mins, you will enjoy lasting results.

In as little as one session, find relief from common digestive problems such as constipation, bloating, gas, and abdominal pains and cramps. The gentle boost on your digestive tract realigns organs and also helps your body cope better with hard-to-digest food. Regular, weekly treatments offer long-term benefits that include improved sleep, more defined abdominal muscle tone, and restored energy.

As you detox, the treatment also primes the body to respond better to diet and exercise, helping you lose weight faster and safely. Say goodbye to stubborn love handles, as you welcome a shapelier and more defined figure.

Mommies are busy in many ways, preparing some stuff for the kids, cook food for their families, so many chores, so many things to do in and out of their houses.

Mommies also need some break, relax a moment and have time for themselves. The best way to pamper themselves is through massages. Yes it is, and I myself have experience the great time with a foot massage.  Together with my blogger friends we enjoyed our pampering day and since most of us are mommies we consider this as our break from the usual work of moms, plus this is our bonding moment as well.
Though the place for me is quite far, I still managed to be their and see their location and of course their well signature foot massages.   I need to experience it first hand so I can share what I have experienced.  Truly with that location I do deserved to a relaxing foot massage to ease off my tired feet from that travel.  The Foot Massage Lounge is located near the NBC Tent and it is an easy recognizable landmark in Bonifacio Global City, it is in The Forum Building surrounded by restaurants.

The ambiance as you enter was relaxing perhaps because of the combination of black and gold color that moderates the eyes.  A good balance of flat and shining color.   The area where we are treated were designed for a group or barkada foot massage session.  It has 6 couches in it with three more of my blogger mommy friends, we enjoyed the massage. 

They let us tried the deluxe massage lasts 60 minutes and focuses just on your feet.
According to them the massages are a combination of Shiatsu, Swedish and hammer type pressure massage.  The massages at the Foot Massage Lounge are dry massages. The masseur started the massages from my head down to my back to let me feel that I need to relax and enjoy the moment, and I did!

After those massages, it's time for my feet.   The masseur did focused on my feet and legs and I was glad I had the massage because lately I felt uneasy with my right foot.  It was really a soothing massage that made my legs relaxed. 

Foot Massage Lounge use a special type of balm. According to them you can go out on a date, have party or meet someone after the massage, Yes, the smell is not that harsh, it is a friendly aroma.

After those soothing and relaxing massage, they use hammer-type pressure massage which was the last part, that was good for blood circulation. This was something new for me.  Where do you think they hammer you? hahaha, interesting question isn't it. Well, you must go to Foot Massage Lounge and try it and experience to be hammered.

Cat Ilacad opened the Foot Massage Lounge last November 2011, she is alo the founder of Post Nails.  She is a fan of foot massage so she wanted a new project that will cater on massages, then the Foot Massage Lounge was born.

According to Cat Posh Nails do manicure, pedicure and a little bit  of foot massage, and has usually appealed to a female demographic, while Foot Massage Lounge offers 60 to 75 minutes of massage and caters young ones to senior. Those who want to relax. Yuppies, mom, the runners and the students can experience their massages.

I was really delighted when I was invited by one of my bloggers.  This newly opened two in one establishment, the Comida Ilocandia and the Spaoay is something new to me. So I tried it, though I have only been to a spa house once.  This is another opportunity to get relaxed. 

The place was quite small but good enough to accommodate a number of guests. A good place to relax and rejuvenate a tired body.  

The Ilocano Style Pancit.

It was raining when me and my husband got in to the place.   We were wet but thank goodness we were not that wet.  Anyway after being entertained by the organizer of the event Chef Danny, one of the owner of the place was very accommodating and introduced himself first to us and later on offered us to try some of their foods.  Chef Danny was Ilocano and I don't have any idea how Ilocanos cook or an idea about their dishes.  Since most of the spa rooms where occupied, Me, together with my husband dig in to the tasteful offering of Comida Ilocandia.

First that was offered was the version of pansit together with a 1930 style of baked bread or pandesal that comes with a pate spread.  As for me I'm not much of an experimenter so trying something new is not my usual but this time I was able to try their Ilocano style of pancit.   I got too excited that I poured in too much of the concocted sauce for all of Chef Danny that perhaps made the pancit more sourly flavored.  My bad.  Perhaps it is best when just the right amount.  

The 1930 recipe bread and a pate.

Then I tried one of their dish in their menu which is quite good.   Since the food was really a tummy filler Chef Danny brought out his own concoction of the Mojito which is a mixture of Basi and fresh dalandan juice.  Refreshing with a kick!

After the sumptuous food, it's time for the relaxation.  The spa at Spaoay which is just adjacent to the Comida Ilocandia.  Just like I mention it's a two in one business establishment, you relax then you eat or you eat first and then you relax.


Spaoay offers a traditional Ilocano treatment for massage and facials and what's great is that they offer these services with the use of herbs-tea tree, mint and coffee.   I like the massage experience that I had, it was relaxing and relieving.   Aside from these massage treatment they also have some body wraps, scrubs and baths with the use of mountain clay, sea salts, and balsamic vinegar.  According to them all are beneficial to our body.



The Spaoay is open daily to give alternative and natural healing.  Spaoay also provide exclusive hotel and home services.  Located along Timog Avenue in Quezon City, you can call (02)994-7596 or 09189256603

A mother's day celebration is around the corner, people who love their moms prepare something to express their love.  We should, because they are the most important person in our lives, our MOTHERS.

Yours truly is also a mommy, not only one but of two loving sons.  I don't know what will happen this Mother's Day but I'm sure they will have something for me with the help of their coach none other than their Daddy.

This is another pampering day in my life.  Though it was a busy day I still manage to be there and had my relaxation.  It felt really good after a busy day.  It was a bloggers' event at Bioessence.  They wanted us to experience their services.  Bioessence staff did a facial and a hand paraffin on me.  It was a soothing experience, I almost slept while the staff is doing facial on me, very relaxing and the treatment was so cool, light and a relieving.  I felt so very clean after all that dust that filled my face. I would definitely recommend it to my Kita Kits friends.  I'm sure they would really love it.  I'm happy that I tried that pampering session at Bioessence.
