[GIVEAWAY] a pampering sesh at origins nail spa

3 weeks back at work post maternity leave, i could feel the strain. juggling 2 kids and work aint no easy task and i have been increasingly feeling dog-tired on a daily basis. there are days where i K.O. before i have my dinner (usually together with Jerry when i put him into bed).

and just like that. 3 weeks is gone. GOSH. i’ll admit it. it’s mentally draining and hard work keeping to the schedules daily, packing off jerry to child care, full-time work, struggling to produce milk and bagging in enough sleep and doing night feeds for jerome amidst a thousand and one things on my mind.

my nails are the last thing on my mind. i havent painted them since. SIMPLY. NO. TIME. AND. ENERGY.

someone up there must have heard me. and i got lucky. I was offered a complimentary pass for the origins signature treatment at the origins nail spa – a classic mani & pedi, completed with scrub and mask! it’s god-send! the very nice husband also offered to babysit the 2 kids all by himself while i spend a couple of hours pampering myself. BLISS!

if you are a mum and have done jamu massage, you probably have heard of origins jamu massage. The nail spa is an affiliate of the popular jamu massage company.

i was given a choice of green tea, coffee, ginger and a couple of other options of scrubs and masks to choose from. i chose green tea for its anti oxident, anti aging (totally need this) and whitening qualities for both the scrub and the mask.

the manicurists quickly got down to work, while i just relaxed and enjoyed the pampering. the scrub is pretty rejuvenating & cooling!

pardon my knobby knees & ugly feet!

the mask on my hands and legs. it was left on for 10 mins.

I didnt manage to take a lot of pics because my hands are, obviously occupied. so pardon me. i was wishing my eyes had some sort of super power to control my handphone/camera to take some pics for me, but i dont. so, use your imagination kies?

an hour and a half later, my legs and arms were feeling really smooth and pampered, and TA-DAH!

isnt it pretty?

up close. i chose the OPI skyfall colors, which were pretty new and i totally dig them – Live & Let Die (greenish black) & the living daylights (glitter). very lovely right? and i learnt a new method in making glitter polish cool. packed them all up like what i have in my accent nail.

i had a lovely time. the manicurists were very friendly and the place was simple and cosy amidst a hdb shophouse setting. they have a wide range of polishes from OPI, China Glaze, ZOYA (!!) and gel polishes from angel pro (i havent seen much salons using this but i love the colors) & bling. There are even children friendly polishes available for kids! very interesting!

good things must share right? here’s the exciting part. I am giving away a complimentary classic manicure session at Origins Nail Spa now! Just enter the contest by clicking on the link below!
