Gandang Ricky Reyes Salon: Bloggers Spa Party

Last July 9 morning, I joined the other bloggers for the spa party at Gandang Ricky Reyes Salon. We were a total of 14 bloggers whom were there, a mixed of guys and girls. We were given a makeover, yours truly by Mother Ricky Reyes.


Going to the GRR (Gandang Ricky Reyes) Salon was not a hassle to me since it is situated along Aurora Boulevard in San Juan and near the J. Ruiz LRT 2 Station. I think this branch is the flagship salon of Ricky Reyes though I am not sure but most of his salons are inside the malls and not as big as this one.

 
GRR Salon offers a lot of to offer from beauty services and beauty products for your hair, facial, manicure & pedicure and some spa services. GRR Salon has this tagline "Gandang Salon."




The event was hosted by the salon owner himself, Ricky Reyes and Rachel Alejandro, co-owner of Sexy Chef Catering. GRR has partnered with Sexy Chef Catering for everybody's special occassion needs -  a spa party or sparty for short. You can have your sparty at the GRR Salon and have a great food in the same time from Sexy Chef Catering. Whether its a get-together party, despedida party, office party, shower party or family party. 



I have heard very much of the Sexy Chef while I was still living in Makati 6 years ago. 
Rachel Alejandro is really sexy personally so the name fits for her ;)
The Sexy Chef has a wide variety of food and diet programs that anybody can choose from such as:
  • Cohen
  • Back to Balance
  • Eat Clean Detox Plan
  • Fat Burn
  • Bridal Packages
  • Anti-Plateau Diet
  • HCG
  • Body After Baby
  • Health for Two
  • Sugar Buster
  • Pounds Away
  • South Beach
After the talk and introduction from the hosts, the makeover  has started. They check first the condition of our scalp with a scanner if its scaly, dull, or falling hair so that they can advice us whats the proper treatment for our hair. They also check our skin type of our face, they told me that I have blackheads as being shown to me and the other bloggers on their computer. Mother Ricky advise that I should get highlights and hair booster treatment for my hair, facial spa and haircut. 
We headed into the shampoo area wherein every blogger's hair was washed before anything else then blowdried. Some bloggers got highlights like me, some don't to those who has colored hair already. I like the ambiance of GRR Salon. Its very elegant and modern. 
I feel like I'm a princess treated for a day while I was there during the makeover.

We were also treated to a healthy lunch courtesy of the Sexy Chef. The food looks so good and tempting for everyone's eyes but the Sexy Chef noted that the food they cooked and served are usually healthy - high fiber and low in calories so you don't need to suffer even if you're on a diet and trying to lose weight.


























These are just the appetizers and dessert. Now let me show you the main course. 
They don't just look good, it tastes really good too :)
  
Jap Chae (Stir-Fried Korean Noodles)
Miso Marinated Fish Kebab
Vegetable Crudite with Cashew Cheese Dip
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
I really enjoyed the food that I want the Sexy Chef to be my caterer on my wedding day and other events.  After my highlights and lunch, the salon staff gave me a dry back massage then next was my Facial Spa. She was very good in doing it and has made me relaxed, I fell asleep while she was doing facial on me. (Sorry I forgot her name).

When I woke up (I don't know how long I was sleeping), the salon girl fixed my hair so she washed it again then blowdried. My hair has streaks of highlights which was nice and not disturbing. Ricky Reyes cut my hair afterwards.  The result? you'll be the judge.
Ricky Reyes is like my fairy godmother!  :)
















I'm very happy and satisfied after the makeover. My face has become 20% lighter than and my hair has no fly-away like before. When my friends saw me, they were surprised and they said that my face looks radiant and glowing.  I will definitely go back and recommend GRR Salon to my friends.


I also got to chance to take home some of  Ricky Reyes products like Energizing Malunggay Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-On Hair Conditioner Spray then some IDC beauty products from Canada like IDC Hydra Seal Mositurizer (cream jar) and IDC Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Serum (bottle)

The event was pre-recorded and aired on TV this morning at Life & Style with Ricky Reyes on QTV11. Too bad I wasn't able to watch it since I woke up late because of the cold weather and typhoon though some friends has watched it. Thank you Sexy Chef for the hearty lunch during the sparty. Thank you very much Ricky Reyes for my makeover :)

Silka: What's Your Skin Type?

I received an email a few days ago about SILKA PROMO NOTIFICATION.  
I was surprised and happy when I read it because I was not expecting that I will win in the raffle contest after answering their What's Your Skin Type Quiz in Silka's facebook fan page. 
I didn't purchase anything to enter the raffle promo.

I like joining online raffle and competition except those whom are using Rafflecopter. 
For some reaons, I hate using Rafflecopter and I don't like to going back into it eveyday just to earn points. I like the Submit and forget process. That makes me win more. 
Great things come when you least expect it :)

I won P1,000.00 money plus a Silka gift pack. Wow!
There were other winners as well of the raffle promo and I am just one of them. 
My friends said that I'm really lucky when it comes to winning raffle and promo contests. 
I think they're right because ever since I was a kid, most of the time I win but there are also other times I don't win.  That's fine so that I can give chance to others. It's not nice to be selfish, right? A week ago, I claimed my other prizes: a new HTC Desire C phone from HTC Philippines and an original DVD of The Vow Movie from www.Clickthecity.com


Here's the picture of what I've got from my Silka Gift Pack: 

2 Silka Papaya Soaps
1 Silka Facial Cleanser
1 Silka Citrus Skin Energizer
1 Silka Papaya Whitening Pearl Cream
1 Silka Papaya Whitening Roll-on Deodorant

1 Silka Papaya Premium Whitening Body Wash

1 Silka Papaya Whitening Lotion with SPF6
1 Juicy Cologne
1 Define Styling Gel

1 Protect Hand Sanitizer Gel 


Thank you so much Silka! :)

GARNIER: No to Crazy Pimple Remedies!

In a country that takes pride in its traditions, bad skin habits are a dime a dozen. Many people have experienced following weird skin care practices just because they were told to, or because everybody’s already doing it. For drying out their zits, some of the wrong advice given includes the ever common use of toothpaste, lipstick and even calamansi.  
Because of this, world-trusted beauty brand Garnier, with brand advocate Georgina Wilson, makes it their mission to educate more Filipinos on the importance of following a proper skin care regimen.
With the launch of its newest line—Pure Active—Garnier presents a more reliable solution for fighting the six skin problems that Filipinos face.  These problems include pimples, whiteheads, oiliness, impurities, enlarged pores and unevenness. With a breakthrough solution of natural pimple-fighting ingredients, Garnier Pure Active delivers visible results from DAY 1.

With beauty advocate Georgina Wilson on board, Garnier aspires to disprove the use of crazy pimple remedies and give a better, safer, more reliable option—the Pure Active range.
 
“Look at it this way: your skin is your first layer of presentation. Would you want that layer treated with a shady substance? Of course not! Resorting to the use of weird home remedies is like a zit-fest waiting to happen. It only shows people that you don’t care about your face. Because let’s face it, looking good matters. Having a healthy skin matters. You won’t attract opportunities if you don’t care about how you look,” says Georgina.
 
A lot of factors come to play when facing the daily grind. With burdens thrown left, right and center, it’s hard for the busy Filipino not to neglect caring for his features. It’s a given fact that in a professional environment, and also in life in general, one needs to look presentable in order to be taken seriously.
This is where the stress comes in: most of the naive youth who are given the wrong skin care advice end up following it because it’s easier, not realizing that the use of these crazy home remedies might put the skin at risk and even cause potential damage.

For blemishes and acne marks, Garnier Pure Active works wonders. It’s made up of two products: the Multi-Action Scrub and the Cooling Pimple Roll-On. The line's active ingredients include Salicylic Maximum Concentration at 2%, a powerful anti-bacterial ingredient with oil control and pore clearing properties; and Natural HerbaRepair™, a natural extract that repairs and regenerates the skin to prevent scarring—a better way to fix zit problems than using crazy pimple remedies.
 
“Using calamansi is like putting condiments on your face. And obviously, toothpaste is meant for dental purposes—something I overlooked when people told me to use it in the past. It’s embarrassing! And lipstick! Lipstick is for the lips, not for pimples! It’s just plain crazy. I have no idea where people got it from!” says Georgina. “I cannot stress enough how important it is to use the right product for your skin. Trust me on this; using skin products specially formulated to fight blemishes is the right thing to do. After all, once it’s your skin that’s on the line, you wouldn’t want it taken for granted, right?”
       
“Whether you’re about to meet a hot date or have a fun night-out with your girls, next time you’re bothered by a pimple, don’t be a hot mess, use Garnier Pure Active—It’s way better than using crazy pimple solutions!”

Garnier combines the best of science and nature to bring out the natural beauty in anyone no matter what the age or lifestyle. Built around the value of taking care of oneself, the brand’s product portfolio includes a spectrum of products for specialized beauty purposes and formulated for Asian skin.  Learn more about us by liking us on Facebook  Garnier Philippines
