Get LULU-fied: Lulu Nail Spa and Massage

DSC_0140

DSC_0143

Lulu came from the Greek word meaning, “Clean”. You may wonder how the place got its name? (Maybe all the while you thought the owner name is “Lulu”)

Lulu Nail Spa and Massage is located at Victoria Avenue, New Manila. Victoria Avenue – is the road across St. Luke’s Medical Center Quezon City, between Max’s restaurant and 7/11 E. Rodriguez. Just go straight ahead, it is beside Metropole laundry shop. Opening hours from 12NN to 9PM and they are close on Mondays. The place is very convenient for me because I live around E.Rodriguez Quezon City (So I am calling all my E.rod friends to come and drop by the place).

You’ll be greeted by the friendly staff and they attend to your inquiries as well. Jeanne (blogger friend) and I really appreciated to  that they stayed  a bit  longer even their working hours were over but they still continued to finish the services we selected. We arrived around 8pm that’s why.

The first thing, I really liked and noticed is their lazy boy couches, which is a plus for me.  The ambiance is relaxing – dim lighting and yes, coming from what LULU means, it was clean. The place kinda brings this Japanese or Asian vibe because of the lamps , the design on the walls and some of their displays as well.

I tried their Manicure PHP 180 : with polish  and Pedicure PHP 250 with polish (filed, buffed and round shape).They have a wide selection of nail polishes of different colors and they have known nail polish brands such as Chanel, YSL, Dior, Orly, Opi, Seche Vite  – I think there is an additional charge for the branded ones. A Package of both mani and pedi cost PHP 400. I really liked how the nail specialist did my nails both on my hands and feet- gentle and neatly done.

DSC_0168DSC_0169

The Footspa PHP 350, was very relaxing and the ingredients used such as Scrub, Musk, Butter, Cleanser and Oil smelled SOOO good. After applying everything they wrapped my lower leg with plastic wrap and waited on it for a few minutes so everything could be absorbed. Then after came with a relaxing massage (always preferred mine – SOFT PRESSURE)

Hand Paraffin (c) Jeanne Khe

Hand Paraffin (c) Jeanne Khe

The Hand Paraffin therapy PHP 300, the thing that I could comment on, is that the pre-temp of the wax was really hot at first – I had previous hand paraffin therapy sessions before with other spas but I wasn’t able to tolerate it that time. They staff were so kind, they offered to fan it while the wax was being poured on my left hand. When it came to the other hand, the temperature of the wax was just right – hot in a good way that I wanted it. Paraffin therapy is not recommended with those with very sensitive and very thin/fragile skin. The reason why I go for paraffin therapy is that is prevents and lessen “pasma” (sweating of hands) and it moisturizes my hands as well. I mostly do it on my hands. After the wax gets hard, they wrapped my hands with plastic wrap and placed on mittens (like a baby) then wait on it for a few minutes.

Lulu also offers massages. The second floor is primarily for body massages and they have 3 divisions upstairs.

Before going to the venue, I would like you to know some ground rules. First, they have a special kind of socks that you have to purchase – if you don’t have yet and you could use it again when you com back. It’s only PHP 80.00. It has a a special kind of rubber material at the bottom so you won’t slip off – available at the registration counter. After paying they give you a color coded wristband – the color defines what batch are you and how many hours you’ve availed.

DSC_2995

There are lockers available for PHP 20.00 (I’m not sure if its per hour). There is a lounge area – before entering they orient you with the rules, they give tips on how to jump properly and they let you watch an instructional video. They are strict when it comes to time – they give a heads up on the mike before your hour ends. So every hour there is a new batch that goes in all together.

DSC_2987

There is a food stall available, with drinks and snacks – in case you want to rehydrate and munch after . Then there is also an overview area where you can chill and dine while watching the jumpers. DSC_2984

Here is another question frequently asked, What to wear? I suggest active wear  that is comfortable and light weight. If you own anything air-dry that’s fine and bring extra clothes if you want to change after too.

Yes I’ve lost a lot but it comes to a point where your metabolism actually reached it plateau stage – it means you have to double up your effort for your metabolism to speed up again. And yet honestly- it gets tiring. That’s why I don’t mind having a little help, that’s why when I’ve heard of MySlim – the first slimming and detox drink clinically proven to promote safe weight loss for its special Yerba Mate formulation.  It boost fat breakdown and releases the unhealthy radicals our body has stored – sometimes with the food we eat may not be sufficient to do detoxification.

Nowadays, dietary supplements pop up in the market and come in a variety of forms such as tablets, capsules, as well as drinks and energy bars. It’s becoming hard to tell which product yields the best and safest results. But for mySlim what makes them different is the YERBA MATE FORMULATION.

For this chilly season, experience the tingling sensation of the tiniest bits of frosted water.

Make it Epic! with Hot Wheels

“MAKE IT” is the call-to-action to all boys to show what they can do with Hot Wheels through
customization and competition, through imagination and hacks, through cool cars and a daring
attitude. This encourages and enables boys to experience a sense of ACHIEVEMENT.
“EPIC” is a challenge to boys to make Hot Wheels play bigger, faster, higher, cooler, louder,
anywhere, any way. It is the promise of EXHILARATION.
It’s more than just a tagline, it’s a CHALLENGE.
“DON’T JUST MAKE IT AWESOME, MAKE IT EPIC!™”

DSC_2848

I grew up with Hot Wheels – it came with every kid’s meal at McDonald when i was young, it was the counterpart of Barbie (for girls). When I was invited, it kinda brought out that inner kid-at-heart feeling and being at the soft launch at Mega mall -Toy Kingdom made me reminisce my formative young years. I brought my not-so-baby sister with me, maybe she would appreciate it since it was family day and she wanted to go out as well (we tried to play with some of the play set) and my college best friend/blogger bestie, Charlene was there too -she brought her almost entire clan, her nephews are avid fans of Hot wheels that’s why.

DSC_2853DSC_2870

As they say “Make It Epic”, Hot Wheels will be launching new addition to the collection. New releases such as Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Justice League and many others. There maybe an increase with the price rate – ofcourse it is limited edition. Then there will be a contest around this month of February, in search of the oldest collector of Hot Wheels in the country or the most number of collectibles, as announced during the launch.

So a lot of big things will be happening for Hot Wheels this year that’s why “Make it Epic” and a lot of things to look forward too so stay tune you can follow them at Facebook: Make It Epic PH and the hashtag #MakeItEpicPH

I’ve tried spraying and applying the product after wash – it does really have that fresh scent. Even after my intense workout from the gym and from my errands, I don’t smell like “under the araw”, “masangsang”, “maasim”, whatever adjectives you want to describe that is considered as a conventional critic. If you plan to use this product- your aim should be like to maintain a good smell the entire day and you do move around all the time – it’s not whitening FYI. The other thing I notice its lightweight and gives you that refreshing feeling. Rexona with motion sense created separately for man (ice cool) and women (fresh clean)- spray and roll on. Another addition is the clinical protection- clinical strength wetness protection motion activated odour protection. On the label noted- dermatologist tested. Since. Since Rexona encourages a healthy lifestyle, it came with a helpful fitbit to keep on track with my activities.

As a Pinoy mover, this year I plan to accomplish balance – which is very tiring and hard to juggle but I love the sweat and effort I’ve poured into it. For as long, I try to keep my focus, give time to those I’ve considered – my priorities and continue to feel inspired (that is the most important). It’s all about kick butt at the best you can do and ofcourse following virtues and wisdom(s) I gained while I was living independently. Should be open to learn, take risks and be SMART. I’m the kind of person who’ve want to accomplish a lot and yet I’m still confuse at this age (I’m still young) what career would I really want – but I realized just keep on saying yes to new adventures and enjoy what I’m doing.

Calling all able-bodies, post-holiday-season-bodies, post-i-need-to-renew-my-NewYear’sResolution-body, “balik alindog 2016″…..Everybody!

You are invited to an opportunity to provide a safer and healthier tomorrow for the children, for the greater community.

We have organized a family fun run wherein all funds will be put towards furnishing the school clinic of Batino Elementary School (public school that caters to children with special needs), installing safety ramps and rails in Philippine Army Officers’ Ladies Foundation School (school for military-dependent children), and fully constructing the health center at Rodriguez, Rizal (under-served community of mostly children and elderly).

We’d like to share this chance to everyone who wants to make a more tangible contribution in creating a better tomorrow for these beneficiaries. We believe that safety and health are fundamental to ensuring that every child, every Filipino, every person will reach their full potential to living a life well lived; to wellness, to happiness, to success.
Investing in the youth and the community is to invest in the leaders, teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, activists, engineers, architects, innovators, the movers-&-shakers of tomorrow.

Let us RuN together in this race for a better future!

Here are photos during our RLE at Batino Elementary School during our Senior year – A culminating activity we prepared (2013-2014). I wanted to share some photos so others who haven’t been at Batino , could have atleast a  look or sneak peak of why this school means a lot to some of us. 

I remembered how fond we were giving care to the kids,  how my duty group and our clinical instructor bonded – we really enjoyed that rotation. Also the effort we pulled off arranging the clinic , inventory of the medications and spot on painted minions in one of the walls of the clinic- Despicable Me ‘s “Minions”  was a fad back then. 

Batino is a promising school, the kids deserve the best and hats off to the dedicated teachers too!  The school is known to cater children with special needs. I remembered  my group and I had the effort to learn sign language and visited each classroom to give health teachings with matching song and dance numbers and made posters as well. The look on the kids’ faces and the joy-  priceless and how much they appreciated it.Some kids would approach you and give you random hugs (feeling mushy right now). It was a very genuine and humbling experience

Since the kids from Batino touched our hearts, as an alumna of St. Luke’s college of Nursing, here I am calling all students, alumni and those who are willing to give a hand to take part of this year’s Family fun run prepared by the Student Nurses’ Association of St. Luke’s college of Nursing. When the SNA asked a favor for me to blog and promote their upcoming project- no hesitation at all. It is also my way helping out and giving back. It would not only benefit Batino but also the Philippine Army Officers’ Ladies Foundation School (school for military-dependent children), and the construction of the health center at Rodriguez, Rizal (under-served community of mostly children and elderly).

Participating in this  fun run would not only benefit your health but at the end of the day, like I said,  its all about giving back and at that feeling that you were able to help too in your own way.
