HA Hydrating System Facial At Bella [Review]


I love facials. Scratch that, I love taking some time of my hectic schedule to be pampered in a beauty salon. I appreciate quiet venue when getting my facials or body massages, this is crucial because the whole point of this is to truly relax and unwind. I'd rather pay a little extra for a better venue and friendly staff than stressing over unnecessary matters later. So ladies, pick your salons wisely.



I'm grateful to have the opportunity to try out Bella's HA Hydrating System Facial. I believe this facial is quite suitable for anyone because all of our skin needs hydration, despite the difference in skin type. It's a 2-hour treatment that's definitely well spent as I walked out of the place feeling absolutely refreshed. 

Being warmly welcomed with a cup of tea is always a pleasant start. After filling out my form, was lead for a skin check - best time to ask on all your skin concerns and treatment process (I always do like to know what the therapist is doing and products used on my face) - before heading to the treatment room. 

Relaxation Prep
It starts with a pampering hand spa. My fingers and arms were massaged thoroughly with a lotion before getting dipped in wax and cling-wrapped to further moisturise the lower half of my arms and hands. Then, I lay down on my back for a detox face and shoulder massage to calm my body and soul.

Facial Procedure
  1. Double Cleansing
  2. Exfoliation
  3. Extraction
  4. Rose Infused Soothing Mist 
  5. Machine is used to further pump mist into the skin. It's a totally calming process.
  6. Uplifting Massage - my favourite part. Massage is performed on face, neck, and shoulder. 
  7. Serum is then applied before putting on a paper mask for 20mins
  8. Time to take a nap while waiting for the mask to absorb
  9. Mask is removed followed by the basic skincare steps of toning, serum, moisturiser and sunblock.
  10. Ended with a warm towel on the shoulder and back while sitting up, as well as a simple shoulder and back massage. 
After getting dressed, I was lead to get my skin checked again to compare the result. Well, of course, it stated that my skin is so much more hydrated now. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose. That aside, usually your skin will start looking good one day after your facial, once the skin is completely healed from the extraction. That when everything will somehow turn out right, such as makeup looks smoother, everything you apply seem to be working, your skin is just glowing from within. Life will feel absolutely great for about 2-3 weeks, depending on your hormones and food intake. 

Facial works. I personally try to go every month or once every two months. For a start, you can try out a few places, then once you have found a place you can trust, you'll usually stick to it for a while. 


Thank you Bella for a great pampering session.

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
