I've been working almost 12 hours a day for a week now to cover all my email backlogs and peak season inquiries. I took a week off last week for a business/leisure travel in Coron, thus the backlogs. And backlogs means stress due to long hours working and sitting in front of the computer.

It was just a heavenly thing that I came to realize I still have an unused Deal Grocer voucher for a spa time at Fitness First North Edsa. It was great to know that my realization came just before it expires.

I came 30 minutes early from my scheduled appointment. While the masseuse gets ready my room, she ushered me to this beautiful corner to wait.


While waiting, I decided to snap more pictures.

I forgot to ask if this was just a waiting area, or this corner has it's own function as well, like foot massage area maybe.

I didn't wait long. My assigned masseuse guided me to my room.

The room was dark when I stepped inside. It was eerie that I decided to adjust the lighting.

She gave me a couple of minutes to get ready so I took the liberty to snap more pictures. They have shelves where you can put your things on (or just put it under your bed to be safe).



Towels, hangers, bath robes, slippers and tea are provided.

The deal I got was for a 30 minute salt scrub and 60 minute massage. It is priced at Php 750 and got it for only Php 499 via Deal Grocer.

Overall, I was satisfied with the treatment and the service I got. The masseuse was polite and the whole process helped me get rid of the stress that piled up. I also loved the fruity tea offered right after the treatment. It's one of the best tea I've tasted so far that I asked for a complimentary. ^_^

The BDJ August 2013 box is an amazing and exclusive Shiseido box for bellas. The box comes with an exclusive skin care set from Shiseido's Ibuki line. The Ibuki line just got introduced globally this September, so BDJ bellas were the first ones to try out these products. Ibuki, which means “new breath” in Japanese, is targeted at younger consumers, the millenials, aged around 25-35 years old. 

It's a first for Shiseido to create a skincare line just for millenials. Millenials being described having a lifestyle of night outs, alcohol, coffee, sleep deficit, poor diet etc. etc. That means millenials have a serious distressed skin condition.  

Thus, Shiseido Ibuki line enters as our skin savior. Ibuki in japanese means "breathing new life". I totally agree how they describe the skin of us, millenials. That being said, I totally fell in love with BDJ's deluxe sample set of Shiseido's Ibuki line. The whole set as it includes everything you need for your daily skin regimen and it can last for about 2 weeks.

The Ibuki collection in BDJ Box, which consists of five products—a Gentle Cleanser, Purifying Cleanser, Softening Concentrate, Refining Moisturizer Enriched and Eye Correcting Cream. Additional is Shiseido's BIO-PERFORMANCE Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream that combats the effects of an aggressive environment, reducing the signs of dryness, roughness, and fine lines as it re-hydrates.

This BDJ box is top of the line. I can't wait to use all of it. I might even purchase one after. The box comes with a voucher that you can use as well. 

Kudos to the BDJ box team for bringing us these magnificent products to try. The box may not be heavy but it's sure worth it. Excited for the September box already :)
