What a heart warming discovery.

Early February, I have started a new Spa treatment course for a pair of lovely young couple who wish to pick up some massage techniques and idea of having spa moment at their home sweet home. Apart from imparting my skill and knowledge, I have share other subjects like how to do ear candling and body scrub so that they can have more spa treatments alternatives. 

After the first lesson, I have discovered that this couple have been enjoying practicing on each other during their free time. Inevitably, not only they have improve their relationship as the common subject now is massages and spa treatments. And what amazed me most was they have even been practicing on their elderly parents too. What I was told from this couple, this bonding and strengthening of relationship has even extended to their parents. As Asian family, sometimes hugging and touching our parents is not something very common in our family setting but by doing massages for them it seems like that barrier has been eliminated. Isn't that wonderful? That really bring a big smile to my face. 

Happy Scrubbing !

Body scrub is such a treat!

These days we are so spoil with endless brands and flavors of body scrubs pastes (sea salt, coconut fiber, coffee powder, walnut husks etc), gel and equipment in the market, some really looks so delicious that I wish they are in my fridge. So is scrub really a must? Well, for me at least is a must especially I have booked a oil massage in a spa. Is like a entree and main course of a set meal, is inseparable! 

In this hot and humid weather our skin tend to be rather clogged and dirty due to the excess secretion of the sebum and accumulation of unwanted particles. Our skin will be rough, scaly and patches of uneven spots will be appeared in no time. Thus, have a good scrubs at least twice a week. I bet, your skin will be much better taken care then without. Another good point is it helps to improve blood circulation and better absorption of skin corrective products (moisturizer, whitening cream or serum etc). 

To have a good and thorough body scrub in a spa, make sure your therapist cover places like, armpits, neck, in between your fingers and toes etc. If not, you can simply ask your lover to share a romantic body scrub ritual. There was a saying" you scrub my back and I will scrub yours". How wonderful...
