Pamper yourself


Each of one has our own way of giving ourselves a treat to be relax and be recharge..and what else could be better than having a massage to relieve all the stress and increases your blood circulation.


This treat I got two times a month right in the comfort of our home is something to look forward. Yes, I don't need to go to spa for this pampering, although I must admit I miss the sauna bath at The Spa http://www.thespa.com.ph/, which is my favorite facility in there. Thank you to our therapist who do this home service at a very reasonable price, I am revived and relaxed after an hour of pinching and pressing.

According to studies having a regular massage session will do the following:
