Thai Temple Time!

June seem to breezed by so fast and now we're halfway through July and the kids' school will start in a week! Hindi pa ako ready, guys! ! I feel like I am still recovering from our trip from Cebu which is almost month ago na pala! Oh my. No blog posts pa because my SD card crashed, hay buhay nga naman. I've been wanting to go back to Thai Temple for some me-time but I don't think it's happening soon but I'm glad I was able to squeeze in some girl time and try out Thai Temple's services first week of June with Michelle, Chessy and Ro.

I love getting a massage especially on the feet. When I was still single, our family day was usually going to the mall or spending it in a massage place. We watch ASAP while getting our foot massages. Haha! Nowadays, getting a massage is rare for me. BOS would always tell me to go out and get massage, I would usually don't want to go because I always feel guilty. I'm at the spa while he's getting stressed out by the kids lol. But I'm always thankful he's always insisting me to go because I feel recharged after.

The first time I've tried Thai Temple was during one of Onelife Studio's Fitspoparty! They had a hand massage station which I really enjoyed so I was very excited when Thai Temple invited us for a afternoon spa time and some tea after.

Thai Temple located at J. Abad Santos cor. Lopez Jaena St.,Little Baguio, San Juan City. It's very Onelife Studio! There's everything in San Juan, maybe I should just move here.

I love the interior! The reception area is small but it's because the massage area is big! I picked Thai Foot Massage for 90 minutes. You can choose from 60 minutes (Php300) and 90 minutes (Php450). They also have other services which you can check down below. I like that their prices are affordable.

These are the services they offer and the prices. You can opt for add-ons, just add Php150 for foot, head or back massage.

The left one is for Swedish Massage while the one on the right is for the Thai Body Massage. They also have couple rooms.

At the end of the hallway is this little corner where they wash your feet before having your foot massage.

Super love this corner!

Washing my feet before my massage.

The foot massage area sits four people which was perfect for us, they have curtains as partition and for privacy. But we asked them to tied it up so we can chitchat while having our massage.

Grabbed this photo from Ro :) We were given heated pillows to put on our lower back and neck. It was surprisingly soothing and relaxing!

I had a super relaxing time with these ladies. They were all surprised that I went for the 90-minute foot massage haha! I think they had 60 minutes foot massage and 30 minutes back massage. I thoroughly enjoyed my foot massage.  I usually go for hard massage pero guys di ko kaya ang hard nila. Hard talaga! Which is a plus for me because I like to feel the pressure and I've been to spas and foot massage places that when you request for hard massage, you don't feel it and you get disappointed. So happy with Thai Temple and I'll be back to try their body massage naman.

Parking can be a little challenge here. I think you can park on the building beside it but call them first just to be sure!

A Taste of Toast Manila

On the look out for a new restaurant to try this weekend? Why not try out Toast Manila in San Juan! Two weeks ago, I had breakfast and lunch at Toast Manila (on separate days ha! Haha!) and I went home with a happy tummy.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I am a morning person and I can't get through the day without a decent meal and coffee in the morning. I think it's the only time of the day that moms enjoy because the kids are in school. I have been spending my mornings attending pilates classes, working in coffee shop or having breakfast with my mommy friends. And the recent one was at Toast Manila!

Spot the mommas! Guess who? :) I like that Toast Manila opens early. They're open from 8AM - 9PM on Tuesday - Friday, 7AM - 9PM on Saturday - Sunday and they're CLOSED on Mondays. They're located at 135 Hoover Street corner Argonne Street, Brgy. Addition Hills,

San Juan.

Belo Baby Review and Giveaway!

It has been a month since the Belo Baby launch and we have been religiously using the Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash and Face and Body Lotion ever since! It's really been hot the last few weeks and the kids have been taking more baths than usual. All I can say is Belo Baby works wonders on our skin!

The Belo Baby line is available at leading groceries in Metro Manila!

The first time we tried the body wash and face and body lotion was on our trip to Narra Hill. Our trip was just a few days after the launch so I excitedly pack them in our overnighter bag.

Belo Baby up in the mountains! I hope they'll come out with travel-sizes!

Y is always excited for bath time. Since I am helper-less, I've been training Y to be more independent and one of the things I am training her is to learn to take a bath on her own. Start them young, right? My kids were used to using baby shampoo that bubbles so when Y tried the Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash, she was surprised why it wasn't bubbly. I explained to her that Belo Baby's has natural ingredients (like special leaves and flowers, heehee). She likes the scent, she said she smells like a baby! Haha! I really like the mild scent too!

I like how the bar soap is shaped like a bean!

I usually don't put lotion on my kids during summer because they don't like the sticky feeling but apparently, heat can cause dry skin din pala! With Belo Baby's Face and Body Lotion, it's very light on the skin and not sticky at all plus it's smells so good. It's safe to put it on your kid's face too! Y sees me putting cream on my face and she likes to imitate me by putting lotion on her face. I used to buy a separate lotion for her face, now I don't have to!

I also tried using the body wash and lotion on me too. I have skin eczema and it's really hard to find a mild soap that doesn't irritate my skin and won't cause any itch after bath. I am happy to say that with constant use of the body wash together with the body lotion, I haven't had any skin eczema flare-ups yet. I'm really glad I have found alternatives, no need to buy lotion or body wash abroad! Hooray for homegrown brands!
