Bits of Chiharu : Spa Esprit Scentsational Aromatherapy Full Body Massage

I wanted to put this up long ago, but I somehow completely forgot and thought that I did it already. I'm such a muddle head! Remember the Spa Esprit event I went to HERE? We were also given one voucher each for a Scentsational Aromatherapy Full Body Massage!

I went down together with Yijing to experience my first ever massage!

Look at the wide variety of essential oil blends you can choose from for your Scentsational Aromatherapy Massage!

Look at this red bull blend! Sounds spicy~

This is something everyone can consider!

I and Yijing both chose this! Plump up our bodies! Okay not literally, I don't want to become plump.

A look at the "private" portion where we were led to our massage room!

I like the cute lighting thingy

Some kinda artistic sculpture thingy. I can't really admire this cause I'm not an artsy person but I feel Ringo will appreciate this more?

Some kinda painting? I fail to get this either =x

OUR ROOM NUMBER. PLEASE BUY 4D TYVM! (Jk, I will never encourage gambling!)

Our beautiful room! Two beds because I and Yijing are doing the same massage in the SAME ROOM.

The sink...

The shower room...

BATHTUB that I never got to use. I love bathtubs but I don't have one at home :(

My experience at the SPA was pleasant. The masseurs were super friendly to both me and Yijing! We were so nervous and tense at first because we had to strip and wear disposable undies ONLY. We were super shy because it's our first massage and we've never stripped before, not to us and definitely not to masseurs. We even requested if we could be covered with towels over our private parts > O <

We lay down on our beds and proceeded with the massage. By full body massage, I can tell you they meant it literally. They even massaged my butt! And I was super super shy about it. But seriously, the massage felt good. Especially when she massaged my shoulders because I ache there often from carrying heavy bags and have felt that pain for a really long time. I was miraculously cured after this session and I haven't faced this problem ever since.

DELICIOUS COOKIES were prepared for us after the massage!

Another picture because it was so damn good. I almost asked them where they got their cookies supply from =x

We were also served floral tea but I've lost that picture =/

All in all, it was a super enjoyable session and I would love going for it again if I wasn't so poor!

Love,
Chiharu ❤

Event : Spa Esprit Power of Scent Essential Oils Workshop (Part 1)

I promised to blog about it and here it is! Also, take note of what I ask at the end of this post and answer it!

Last Saturday, 11th June 2011, I was invited to the Spa Esprit Power of Scent Essential Oils Workshop by Pearlin! Thank you Pearlin for giving me this opportunity! Himeko and Yijing came too!

That's the poster that saved us when we were lost > . <

I and Yijing arrived at Beauty Emporium where the event was held!

Ta-da, Spa Esprit!

Look at all the stuff they have!

I took a picture of this cause it looks really cute.

From this picture, there's something that resembles a chess board. But it's not.

IT'S ESSENTIAL OILS. Look at the wide range they carry!

They're all from doTERRA!

Our lovely speaker who's educating us on Essential oils and sharing her own experience with us.

It's pretty obvious from her gesture that she's explaining!

And to PROVE I was attentive, here's some interesting tidbits that I picked up along the way!

Here're the beauty bits! :

• doTERRA Originated in USA and has NO side effects because these essential oils are taken from plants that exist in the same environment as us. (Fake essential oils not only has no health benefits, it may damage your body instead!)
• Peppermint Essential Oil is excellent for stomachache, cramps, gastritis, nausea and IBS. One drop of this peppermint oil is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea!
• doTERRA essential oils last forever till you finish them EXCEPT for their citrus oils, those have a shelf life of 10 years.
• Basil Essential Oil + Lavender Essential Oil + 5 days = Sooth and cure ear infections!
• There're 4 kinds of Essential oils production worldwide. There's the synthetic ones that are used in our perfumes and that's of the lowest grade. There's also the flavoring used in our food, that's the second lowest grade. Then we have the therapeutic grade ones, and those only take up 2% of the Essential oil production worldwide! Last but not least, the finest and rarest, CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) Essential oils, and doTERRA belongs in that category.
• Because doTERRA produces CPTG Essential oils, every single drop is guaranteed to  be from the plant. You can ingest them :D

Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid and drink it! Alternatively you can choose to swallow the drop by itself by dripping it under your tongue. I haven't tried that yet but I drank the peppermint tea they prepared with the peppermint essential oil!

I've also tried dripping the peppermint and the lemon one into my drink. There's no particular taste whatsoever, just a slight minty-ness. It probably gives you fresh breath too so you can definitely consider that!

Here're some of the recommended essential oils from doTERRA!

This is like an Essential Oils Encyclopedia!

Then we had a break before continuing to the hands on session! READY FOR SOME FOOD? :D

I know... I'm pretty terrible at taking attractive pictures of food. But still they look pretty tasty!

After the break...

The different types of essential oils were placed on our tables!

More...

And more!

Our guide book!

Click to enlarge! This shows you the different categories of essential oils and whether they're top, middle or bottom notes.

This venn diagram shows you how you should mix them! The parts that intersect means that they'll complement each other instead of clashing.

Our unscented shower gels, stirrer and blotter papers! Blotter papers aren't for you to blot your face okay, it's the actual name for what you spritz your perfume or in this case drip your essential oil on for you to sniff them!

Turns milky when dripped into the shower gel! Make sure you stir well~

FINISHED. I'm not going to reveal my scent in this post, it's too long already. Look forward to part 2!

We love our shower gels~ Thank you Pearlin and Spa Esprit!

In part 2, I'll be revealing my goodie bag and the scent of my shower gel! Let me know if you all are interested in the shower gel I created~ If there's good response then I'll conduct a giveaway with it! xD

Cheers,
Chiharu ❤
