Treating yourself to a spa experience is probably far from your mind at the moment.

Or maybe it has been on your mind, but you just don’t have the time or maybe even feel guilty about taking some time off for yourself.

Well, I say- screw that, because every woman – especially if you’re a mum- deserves to take some time to rejuvenate and be pampered.

As the saying goes, a happy mummy makes a happy baby, so taking 2 hours of your time way from your baby or kids would probably do more good than anything else.

If you’re cracking your head on where to go because there are just too many to choose from, well, let me share my recent experience at Swasana Spa at Impiana KLCC Hotel so you can judge the place for yourself.

Swasana Spa is located on the 4th floor of Impiana KLCC Hotel.

Upon arriving, you’ll be led to a waiting area where you’ll be served a refreshing cup of their signature welcome drink.

If you opt for an oil massage, here is also where you can choose the type of oil you’d like to use for your treatment.

Swasana Massage– their signature massage is a blend of Asia’s 3 most popular massage styles – Balinese, Thai, and Malay. The signature massage also incorporates Seri Dewi Facial – a type of facial that adopts an acupressure approach to the vital points on the face.

It enhances blood circulation while effectively revitalizing facial features and is my favourite part of the whole treatment.

Other spa treatments that are available include body scrubs, body wraps, facials, bath treatments, and waxing.

They also have a section called CHILL that centres around reflexology and acupressure – concentrating on the feet, neck, and shoulders. Perfect for those who have had a long day (or just don’t want to get naked).

After your treatment, you’ll be led to a lounging area where you can enjoy tranquillity further while sipping on some hot ginger and lemongrass tea. Ahh yes, serenity… Well, that’s also where you’ll realize that it’s time to face reality again. But you know what? You’ll feel much more energised, rejuvenated and ready to face every dirty diaper that comes your way.

Swasana is a multiple award-winning establishment, among which the spa clinched the “Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards- Spa of the Year since 2016-2018, ASEAN Spa Service Standard 2019 to 2021, Tripadvisor’s #1 Spa 2018 and many more.

Being a mum, a working mum mind you, is not easy at all! Besides having to think about work, you go home only to start thinking and preparing things for your baby and then there’s the husband, the laundry, the cleaning… the list goes on and on. So when i was given the opportunity to try out Osta Salon & Spa located in Publika, Solaris Dutamas i was ecstatic because i really needed to get the tension out of my body and just have a moment to myself to relax.

Mummies! You deserve time for yourself!

My husband and i have always agreed that we need our ME time and time with our own friends. So it’s a mutual understanding which i think is really important in a marriage. In this day and age, a majority of couples in a marriage are both working and earning a living, which means that house chores should be equal, taking care of the kids should be equal and before i start to go in depth about equal rights, i’m going to stop myself here and continue with the purpose this post which is the Osta Salon & Spa.

Osta Salon and Spa is a female only spa catering to female clients who seek to escape from the hustle and bustle of hectic city life. While i was on the way to Publika, i received a call from Osta who would just like to check and remind me about the appointment. Which is great especially for someone who have so many things on their mind. The outlet is located on UG1 floor facing the main road. I was a bit confused on where to go, as I’m not that familiar with the area, and there was no clear signage of the Spa, which made me walk pass it in the beginning! LOL! Continue reading

Do any of you feel frustrated about shopping plus size clothes online here in Malaysia? Have you ever looked at the model or photo of the clothes advertised wondering what it would actually look like on your body? I have! And I think this is a problem that needs to be addressed. There are a number of plus size brands and stores here in Malaysia who tend to use models that just doesn’t seem to fit the bill. Just look at some of the examples below:

Here you see a beautiful slim girl wearing a beautiful outfit. But wait.. apparently her top is available in sizes L to 5XL. But can you really imagine how it will look like on you? I’m sure some of you might be wondering if the style would actually fit a real plus size person. Continue reading
