  • Remember the birthday present I got from my girlfriends?


    giftcert


    I also forgot about it too. Luckily I remembered several days ago, before it expires!


    The gift certificate is for a facial at The Oriental Spa of Mandarin Landmark.When I arrived I was greeted and had my shoes taken away and my feet slipped into slippers. Then I was shown around the premises : the typical ones like changing room, shower, sauna, and also a jacuzzi. The best thing was the relaxation room. I didn't really have time to get wet so I put on the bathrobe and entered the relaxation room.


    Lights in the room were dimmed and there were 6 beds with reading lamps and a headphone which brought spa music to my ears. The room's purpose was 100% served!


    The facial itself was quite enjoyable too and my skin still feels soft now (the next afternoon). I was persuaded to purchase a tube of deep cleansing mask and I didn't after the facial lady kept criticising how poor my skin was throughout the facial. Ha ha! I was hoping maybe they would ask me to buy some kind of facial packages but no one said a word. Oh well.


    When I got home I talked to jkpiggy about how good it was for half an hour. Hopefully he got the message and knows what to get me for Valentine's Day!


    I guess I really am getting old. My skin is no longer smooth and I just keep putting on weight. Mannings and Watson's (local drugs stores) were both on sale last week and I got myself several boxes of Olay and Neutrogena paper masks on Thursday. I used to buy loads and didn't touch them and then ended up in the bin. Anyway I have been working hard and resting a paper mask on my face every evening since. I *think* my face feel more hydrated. Not sure though. Anyway when I'm done with these ones I'll go buy some better ones.


    steam


    Side note : As a child I once saw my mum using a facial steamer like this one above. She sat at her makeup "corner" and had her whole face inside. She remained in the same position for around 15 minutes. I actually thought she was trying to kill herself by inhaling some kind of toxic gas or something. Ha ha!!
