So it has been a while since I last went for a spa session. As far as I remember, perhaps it was 2 years back, maybe? So there was this one time, I wanted to have one so bad and coincidentally my best friend Alla was in town. She slept over at my house after a date with her partner. We didn't plan to go for a spa. We were supposed to go out to have dinner together in KFC. While walking, we past by a huge banner, saw this info about a spa center upstairs and since she had the mood to join in the fun, I thought why not. I didn't know that it existed. We stopped and looked at each other.

'Wanna try?' I said.

'Sure'

We had a 1 hour session of Mustika Ratu basic facial. Then later on, we head to KFC.

Then after 2 weeks, I went back to my hometown. This time I decided to go by myself and also I needed a good massage as I've been having sore backache for the past few weeks. I took 1 hour of massage session and 1 hour of Nu Skin basic facial. Don't expect they will have high tech facial machines like what they use in the expensive spa centre. The massage was good. It was gentle and friendly too.

Lanna spa has been operating for over10 years. 

I have combination skin. Basically oily on the T-zone and slightly dry on cheeks. Recently I have been developing pimples and slightly reddish and uneven skin tone. Not that I do not have pimples previously but only during my period time. But nowadays, they are out of the usual timetable. They pop up any time they want. As if like they have purchase my skin on my face for a million dollar. Not to mention that I have tried numerous product and luckily I do not have sensitive skins. From the expensive ones to those sold in Watson and Gurdian. To make it worst, I love playing with my pimples and I hate knowing that they're there. My mum used to throw at me the TV remote control if she caught me playing with my pimple. *Kabooommm, it just came flying to your face*. Yes my mum is a cold hearted serial  'killer'. She even used the back of a knife to knock on my fingers because I have a habit of biting my nails(even now). But unfortunately it didn't work on me, taken into consideration that it happened countless times...Hahaha. Those were the days.

Anyway, since I have an oily T-zone, some beauty website suggested that it's good to practise a double cleansing habit and so I did for the past few weeks. I was just way toooooo lazy previously.  But ever since I 'realized' that age is catching up upon me, I needed to do something about it before Mrs. Wrinkle starts her visit. She is no women's best friend. 

Was walking past this row of shops in Bukit Jambul and saw one of the shops there sells Indonesian products like herbals, jamu and so on. Juan was waiting for his waffles at that time, so I took the time to take a look at what they have in store. Then I saw Mustika Ratu. My mum used to use Mustika Ratu product when I was young. As I have thin hair, she use the processed coconut oil from Mustika Ratu and been using that many years. Didn't realized when it stopped though. 

One of the many Mustika Ratu products in that store caught my attention. A yellow kind of lotion in a bottle. I smelled it and it has the exact smell during my facial treatment back in Perlis few months back. It's their cleansing milk. I even bought the alcohol-free toner. It smells so refreshing.

Each sachet contained acid that will was away the residues in the hot pot and make your pot shiny again. All you need to do is fill the hot pot full with water and pour 1 packet pot of the pot detergent and leave for around 30 mins. Make sure put a note on the outside part of the pot that the water in the pot cannot be used. 

After 30 mins, can you see the different. The after picture looks milky because of all the residues which has been washed out by the detergent. Make sure you wash the pot as clean as possible.

I ordered steak burger while Juan ordered some ginger something pasta. My steak burger came with salad as the side. But it wasn't to my expectations. The beef was hard and thick, full of fats and ligaments. The dressing was not bad but the salad was not enough of the dressings.

You know how Korea products works and how people are buying them...like in bulks right? Well, I've loved using scrub during my bath time. As it scrub out those unwanted dead skin. And some products are just rough and hush for your skin.Unlike this one. This shower product was recommended by a colleague of mine as we were talking about whether does she uses scrub for bathing and she said yes. So I asked her, what scrub? She brought this scrub to office the next day and I smelled it. It smells so light and refreshing. 

So I brought back her used tube for 2 days and it was nice. The micro beads are made of aloe vera and it glided nicely on my body. It didn't felt rough as all. You'll feel moisturise after using it and the magic part was, the beads melts on your body as you scrub it.

So I would like to share to my friends that this product is worth using. I know how skin beauty is a concern for everyone.

Get it now from me for RM21 for a 400ml tube now. Limited time only as suppliers order them directly from Korea.

Feeling hungry but lazy to cook? Want to grab something which is even faster than McDonald but not fast food? Well I have found my favourite. Introducing Sri Kulai Cafe. A cafe with frozen food concept.
