Review: LayBare Waxing Salon at Rockwell Business Center

As you may know, I took a long leave from work because of Ayex’s ballet and th Holy Week observance. I only returned to work last Monday. Since then, I have been itching to check whether the LayBare Waxing Salon at the ground floor of our office building is already open. Before I took a leave, I saw that it is almost finished. I was assuming that in the two weeks that I was gone, perhaps they are already operating. But I was too busy with all the piled reports waiting to be processed.

Last Wednesday, my friend, Therese, asked me if I want to check out Nail It, a nail spa, beside LayBare. I was so thrilled when she told me that both shops are already open!

So we had an early lunch and went to Nail It. There were plenty of available therapists but their service prices are quite pricey. I ended up going to LayBare for my monthly dose of underarm hair removal. Also, I forgot to take care of my brows so I opted for some eyebrow threading too.

This is how their private treatment room looks like. I like their door and how everything looks neat and well arranged.

Therapist at LayBare Rockwell Business Center Ms. Criz is my therapist. She is very pleasant and accommodating. Since I am quite a veteran of LayBare already, I know the procedure already and I am happy to say that she was well trained. She made sure that my underarms are hairless to bits. My eyebrows have grown too much but I did not feel the pain that much as Ms. Criz kept on telling me stories to divert my attention. She has done a fantastic job! Yay, I miss Ms. Mhean of LayBare Congressional this month!

For your waxing needs, I recommend LayBare Waxing Salon. Thumbs up!

Whole Wheat Bread with Oats

I do not know what got into me but last week, I told myself that I should start eating healthier. At work, things may get boring sometimes and to keep myself awake, I resolve to eating. I told myself I should not be snacking on just any food anymore. I read from a magazine that eating many times is ok as long as you only eat 100 calories at a time.

With that, I bought this whole wheat bread with oats at the Medical City. When I feel hungry, I would slice a thick piece and munch on it. I did not feel guilty even when I eat it every hour. I did not feel deprived either as this bread really tastes good. It is not dry like the leading brands in the market. It is quite pricey though as one loaf costs PhP80. But I did not mind as I really like its taste. And I am comforted by the fact that I am eating something healthy.

I am not really dieting but I just want to be more conscious with what I eat. If I lose some weight, thanks! And if ever that happens, maybe I can take some slimvox for faster results.

Ultra Slim Lite Treatment at Clara International

Last December, Cash Cash Pinoy, a groupon site, had a deal I was not able to resist. Clara International offered their slimming services worth PhP2000 per session for only PhP500.

That time, I have decided already that I will start exercising so I can get my pre-pregnancy body back. But I admitted to myself that I will have a hard time because I gained a lot during my pregnancy with Maxyn. I thought getting some help from technology, in the form of non-invasive therapies, will not hurt. So I bought 4 vouchers from that Clara International deal.

After 4 months of waiting, I was able to finally use 1 voucher this morning.

I was fortunate to get there on time. Upon entering, the receptionist greeted me with a warm good morning. Later on, this receptionist turned out to be my therapist. I forgot to get her name and they did not have a name plate either. Anyway, she asked for my name and if I am using the Cash Cash vourcher. She asked what service I am availing. I was clueless as it is my first time but I told her I want the best fat burner service. She recommended Ultra Slim Lite and I agreed. Then she gave me some information sheet and consent form that I had to sign. She left the front desk and when she came back, she told me where to proceed for the therapy.
