A pampering evening! Kneipp Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi Treatment + Traditional Chinese Deep Tissue Massage at Pink Passion

July 18, 2014 by thejessicat

 

One evening after a massive night out, I booked myself in for a much-needed massage and a jacuzzi session.

Thanks to Pink Passion The Signature Salon for inviting me over at just the perfect time, as I’d usually end up with muscle aches, sores and feeling like a walking zombie the morning after. (Yes, I party that hard)

 

It’s a pampering kind of day today!

 

I entered the familiar, cosy outlet and waited to be ushered into my spa room.

 

Needless to say, I was enchanted by its ambiance!

I could already foresee an invigorating experience the moment I stepped in.

 

The cascading fairy lights made the room so much prettier and relaxing!

 

The lovely ladies welcomed me before leaving me to my privacy to undress completely prior to the massage and Jacuzzi treatment. Wink

I was then told to take a dip in an adorable tub of bubbling lukewarm water and essential oils, also known as the Kneipp Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi treatment.

 

Let the soothing jets begin!

 

This Jacuzzi treatment is recommended before a massage session as it allows your masseuse to work on your tissues without much discomfort.

Heh. Hot/warm water in a bath spa does that to you! Big Smile

Did you know that the fall and rise of body temperature promotes relaxation to your muscles, body and improves blood circulation? 

 

Hi. Laughing

 

As the recommended time in this bath spa is 20 minutes, you can actually take a nap in it or just shut your eyes and let your mind drift to a faraway place.

Knowing me, I chose to take photos of the jacuzzi and selfies for my social media channels and blogging purposes! Teehee.

 

The bubbling force of the jets somewhat gave me a pre-massage session!

 

Propping my feet up. Ahhh.. this is the life!

 

Jacuzzi bath mugshot?

 

Fairy lights intrigue me. Oh, they certainly do. Oops

 

Okay, I’m gonna wrap up the selfie stream now!

 

After 20 minutes was up, I was told to take a warm rinse in the shower just before the massage session.

I was also provided a shower cap just in case I didn’t want to get my hair wet, and disposable underwear to wear throughout the massage.

 

A pretty corner of the spa room where I washed up.

 

Let the Deep Tissue Massage session begin! Ha Ha

 

My massage therapist turned on the fairy lights for me throughout my session.

 

But for blogging purposes, I requested for her to turn on the fluorescent lights back on for better lighting in my pictures. ‘Cos obviously, how on earth are you supposed to see the photos if they’re all dark? Surprised

 

Yes you will be required to be buck naked but rest assured,

you will be decently draped throughout Smile

 

My massage therapist was a Chinese national and oh goodness me, was she brilliant at her trade of Traditional Chinese Deep Tissue Massage or what!!?! SurprisedCool

She emphasizes mainly on your upper back but never fails to appease your limbs and other sections of your body as well.

I’m quite a regular at spa centers hence I do know a good massage when I experience one! This one definitely earns a spot in my good books.

 

This is perfect for muscular tension, discomfort,

sore muscles from sports or workouts and aches in general.

 

Traditional Chinese Deep Tissue massage targets the deep tissue structure of the fascia and muscles, referred to as the connective tissue.

I must say, this is extremely therapeutic in cases of stiff neck, tightness in lower back and soreness in the shoulders!

The way it works is by breaking down the adhesion, giving relief from pain, restoring mobility and releases the built-up toxins by loosening muscle tension.

 

I actually dozed off at one point LOLOL. 

 

 Before I knew it, she lightly tapped me on my shoulder and proceeded to turn me over on my back for the frontal massage.

 

 She began with my head and scalp Embarassed

 

As she continued towards my arms, core and lower body, she hit all the right trigger points, deep tissues and took away all my tension!

The pressure was just right as well; with just enough strength to untangle my very-tangled stressed self LOL.

 

I actually insisted for the most intense/strongest one.Ahh!

Not sure if you enjoy being in ‘pain’ like I do but you can always request for a lighter pressure anytime! 

 

 

An hour later, I felt relaxed and comforted.  Still Dreaming

Admittedly, I did feel a tad sore the next day but hey, I asked for such immense  massage strength I believe was enough to last me several months!

Oh and remember, H20 is your best friend! Smile1

Being properly hydrated before you go for this massage is highly recommended and drinking plenty of water after the session is encouraged. With toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate more efficiently around your system.

 

 Thank you, Pink Passion for a splendid day of pampering and relaxation!

 

Want to experience a day like mine too? Big Smile

Specially for my readers, you can use the voucher below to get the Kneipp Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi treatment + Traditional Chinese Deep Tissue Massage at only RM58 instead of RM138. Just mention ‘TheJessicat’!

Have a marvelous time! Ha Ha

Best weekend ever up in the snowy Victorian Alps! Staying at Hotel Pension Grimus @ Mount Buller

September 28, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Woohoo! All my life, I've always wanted to experience snow and to see snowflakes with my very own eyes.

This trip to Mount Buller has made my childhood dream a reality *bigwidegrin*

 

Remember the earlier blogpost about this roadtrip on Day #1? I was still up the snow-mountain then.

But now I'm back!

 

Say hello to the new Snowboarder in town!

 

Oh and I forgot to mention in the previous post – there were names for every corner up the mountain.

The one called 'Unnamed Corner' made Kayla and I laugh. 'Dump In Corner' made me giggle too 

 

But this corner made me semi-freak out 

 

We arrived after 5 hours. I was awed by the cosy Tyrolean vibe that this hotel boasted the moment I laid eyes on it.

Staying in a lovely place on the Victorian Alps for the weekend? I could get used to this 🙂

 

Here I stand, at the two-time champion award-winning Hotel Pension Grimus!!  

 

I soon realized that we will be spending the weekend in one of Australia's leading Ski-Resort hotel :D

 

Buddy Kayla and I just before check-in

 

The moment we entered the hotel lobby, we were greeted by its warm, cosy atmosphere and a friendly receptionist at the front desk. Whilst the rest were busy talking to the receptionist and getting keys to our rooms, I took to snapping photos of the hotel interior straight away.

 

It made me feel right at home 

 

A ski-hotel with a modern concept yet retaining the traditional cabin/lodge features

 

Coat hanger to place our thick, snow jackets and overcoats

 

We were ushered to our respective rooms 🙂

 

My eyes widened with delight as we entered the room. It was beautifully furnished, spacious and brightly-lit.

The refrigerator was well stocked with lotsa goodies too! 

 

Pretty, ain't it?

 

Ssssooo cosy and screaming to be snuggled in under the covers!

 

After enthusing over the room, having a hot bubble bath in our jacuzzi and taking a well-deserved rest, we decided to dine at the hotel's fine-dining restaurant just downstairs, called Kaptan's Restaurant.

 

Camwhoring while waiting for my missur to be ready

 

And off we went to Kaptan's Restaurant! We'd best be off; I'm starving! 

 

I love its wooden concept + heaps of photo frames on the walls!

 

Chilling nearby Herbie's Cocktail Bar while waiting to be seated.

There was a fireplace beside our table. Squeee! :D (But it  wasn't fired up, unfotunately.. but STILL)

 

It was not until we sat down & gave the waiter our orders that we realized…..

 it was a FINE DINING restaurant.

 

…… Blimey. We were severely under-dressed ;( Aaaargghh.

Major fashion faux pas, if you ask me. Hey, in our defence, we were on holiday and dressed for comfort! (Okay fine. To be honest, we didn't research what kind of restaurant we were dining in first)

 

To make things even more awkward, the tables around us were filled with guests dressed to the nines talking about their high-flying careers, investments and their shares (as though trying to upstage each other!) while we were having our meals enjoying each other's company giggling about the fun day we had and inside jokes without a care in the world.

Anyway, here are our choice of meals from the dinner menu

 

 

Entrees

Potato & Leek Soup served in a shot glass

Tempura Soft Shell Crab with Watermelon, Persian Feta Salad & Sesame Dukkah

 

Mains

Whole Buxton Trout with Beetroot, Almond Cream, Zucchini Flower & Pepper Crisp

Organic Corn Fed Chicken Breast on Sweet Corn Puree, Leek Fondue & Austrian Cheese Tortellini

 

The food was exquisite, without a doubt. We enjoyed the shotglass soup and my chicken was really tasty. Kon couldn't stop gushing over his crab  The fish was tender but we were in for a surprise when we found out how wicked its bones are –

 

I've had heaps of different fish before but never trout.

Its bones could put a porcupine to shame anytime!

 

After dinner, le boyfie got me into Sudoku (yes, I have never played before).

To be honest, I know all the rules and HOW to play it but, I just couldn't be bothered to play one for myself.

 

 

Oh and… don't you think this photo below has the potential to be a movie poster?

 

No?

 

Well, you'll see. Challenge accepted.

 

Told you.

 

The very next morning, we were awaken by 2 trays of hot breakfast in bed by Pension Grimus.

Talk about top notch service! :) Everything was so delicious too.

 

I especially loved my mushrooms, hash browns, buttered croissants and scrambled eggs!

OMG AND PEACHES! 

 

Hotel Pension Grimus provided rental for ski & snowboarding equipment too

 

After breakfast and some snoozingcanoozling, t'was time to head out to the snow.

..Head out to the snow.

..THE SNOW.

..SNOW!!!!!!!!

 

OHMYGOODNESS. Finally. Real snow.

My first touch of snow (albeit through the snow gloves)

 

The staff at the ski hire made me a very happy girl.

Gave me a red snowboard to use for the day which matched the red gloves Greg lent me 😀

 

 

oohmy. le snow!

 

 

I'd bask all day in the snow if I could

 

Sillyfuntimes 😀

 

To me, snowballs aren't as easy to make as it seems.

Mine kept getting lopsided and misshapen! Such noob skills.

 

Well, this one wasn't too bad if I do say so myself! 😀 😀

 

My snowboard and I

 

Le boyfie and I just before our snowboarding sesh!

 

behold Master Greg's 3 students in snowboarding

 

Fell over like, 50 million times

 

We got separated at one point while snowboarding and when we finally found each other, we decided to snowboard down the mountain while holding hands. But we gave up as we kept falling over and overshotting each other not to be able to begin at the same spot together! 

Bummer.

 

Downdowndown the run

 

Practice makes perfect. I'm now taking a break after all that snowboarding!

 

Cold, gloomy weather

 

Group shot after we all managed to find each other at the foot of the run!

Kon & I 🙂  Kayla & Greg

 

As I was so keen on actually playing/being silly in the snow, leboyfie decided to bring me to the snowplay area.

Hey! I missed that out during my childhood, what better time than now to make up for it?

 

Snowplay! 

 

Do you remember how I was obsessing over the snow and the 3 main things I MUST DO?

1. Make a snow man

2. Make a snow angel

3. Throw a snowball at someone

 

NUMBER ONE –  check!

 

NUMBER TWO – check!

 

NUMBER THREE – check!

 

No surprises on who my victim is 😛 Poor Kon got snowballed over and over again.

He had his fair share of snowballing me down too. Snowfight FTW 

 

We took approximately half an hour to build our snowman

our "illuminati snowman" as a random guy claimed it to be LOLOL

 

I was very proud of our snowman. And he's not JUST an ordinary snowman, okay?

He's a celebrity; received lots of attention from everyone and all wanted to take photos with our snowman. 

 

Our snowman sure got heaps of loving from me

He's a cool three-tiered snowman who wears sunglasses & likes snowboarding! 

 

 

We went to bed early that night as we were exhausted from all the snowboarding & our day out!

I was determined not to spend some $AUD80 (which is RM240 in my currency!) *regurgitates blood* for a lift pass, so I hiked up the hill each time I finished snowboarding down the run. It was insane.

Short VLOG of snowplay! 😀

 

Fancy climbing up a snowhill being resisted by snow and carrying heavy gear. Gofightwin!

 

Buffet breakfast in Kaptan's Restaurant the next morning 🙂

 

Very happy how the hotel provided us free wifi.  TOTAL PLUS POINT! Our last day was spent rather chillaxed. 

We also decided not to snowboard again today (our bodies were aching!) but spent it leisurely and in the spa!

 

We had our own private spa & sauna

 

It was awesome! Best to unwind in the hot bubbly spa and sweat everything out in the 50°C sauna.

So relaxing till I almost fell asleep 

 

After spa & sauna. Okay, time to head out in the cold again!

 

Had lunch and prepared to go home.

What can I say? One of the BEST WEEKENDS I've ever had in a while.

 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!
