Kaunis Beauty and Wellness Center

Relaxing and unwinding in a spa has been a part of my life nowadays. Since I entered the corporate world, it has been a very effective stress reliever - and a way of self-pampering at the same time. It is my way of recharging and refueling my body every now and then. Because it has been a regular activity, I have been a hunter for affordable spa center in and around the metro -  but this will be the first time that I will be writing about it. 

Kaunis Beauty and Wellness Center is a recent discovery and I think it is worth to feature in my first spa review. I have learned of it through Metrodeal and since it is just a 5-minute walking distance away from where I live, I am much more willing to give it a try. J

I have availed of their 60-minute full body signature massage for P99 instead of P580. I was with my best friend, boyfriend and another friend (the two boys are on the other room) when we availed of the deal. We have been welcomed by a nice reception area and staff - though I failed to take a photo of it.

Here is what their room looked like, it was surprisingly bigger than the usual size of other spa rooms I have been into. I am also in-loved  that they are using a sliding door instead of the usually used plain curtain cloth. The staffs are also very accommodating and polite, and that is a plus point for this particular spa. They are also giving tips on how you can avoid having back aches and colds and mildly interviewing about your daily activity to find out what causes those pains.

Loved this mood light! ♥

Another reason that I love Kaunis is because of their classy, super clean rest room! I can only count on my fingers the spa that I have into who have a clean (not to mention classy-designed) rest room like this. ♥

I am definitely recommending Kaunis Beauty and Wellness Center.

The iScreamist

It has always been our barkada's plan to roam around the recently popularized area in Quezon City, the Maginhawa Street. We finally did but got a little time to stroll in the area so we hit a dessert bar instead. Its always a wise choice for us to follow our sweet tooth - talk about priorities! J

We ramble this interesting pocket place called "The IsCreamist" that is popular for their liquid nitrogen ice cream. It is a small ice cream store located at Magiting Street (near Maginhawa Street) that can just accommodate maximum of 15 diners at a time from 1:00pm - 10:00pm daily. 

The periodic table of frozen treats! ♥

Of course we tried the famous Dragon's Breath - which are usually small portion of snacks to be dipped into liquid nitrogen before being eaten which will cause you to breath smoke like dragon. Hence, the clever name. It was so fun to eat! J

Nutella Ice Cream! ♥

My ever favorite Pistachio Ice Cream! ♥

Huge Nitrogen tanks + le Bestfriend

Overall, The iScreamist will give you a whole new way of experiencing an all time frozen favorite J

Fairview Terraces

One Friday last month, my college barkada decided to visit yet another place within the city I live in - the Fairview Terraces. I love how almost every part of this top-line mall can be a "hangout corner" especially for a group of friends like us. We spend the whole afternoon at the top-most floor where we share a lot of stories with each other, update in life, works, and even love life while waiting for our movie slot to start. Got a bit carried by taking snapshots since I am also playing test with my new toy J

Sunset view is always the loveliest! ♥ 

 Holiday feels during our January visit because of the Christmas lights still hanging outside the mall. Perfect night scenery I must say, this could be a year-round display after all! ♥

 I've been eyeing those colorful lemonades at Muscle Beach wanting to take a closer shot but ashamed of the surrounding since I don't have any intention to buy but just stare. :P

Also fell in love with the window displays of deluxe retail brands - talk about daily dose of fashion comfort with these casual numbers! ♥

I recommend this mall if you want a great ambiance and upscale selection of fashion and food choices.

Big Chill

I have always been a hunter of quiet nooks out and around the metro. When I want to flee away from the hustle and bustle of life, my first go-to place would be a park. Little did I know, it is also possible to find a silent area inside a mall - just like Big Chill Gateway Mall branch. This particular branch of blended shake bar will give you an unobtrusive stay. One reason is it is located at the cinema area of the mall wherein people don't usually hang outside, instead they are just staying on the food court down below while waiting for their movie slot - this made me decide to frequent the place whenever I need a discreet surrounding. J

We ordered Mango Mania which is a refreshing (you knew it, yes) mango shake. It is best to be a dinner substitute if you want to skip any heavy meal at night plus it's made of fruit so you could acquire more of its benefits. J
