A Much Needed “ME” Time for the WAHM


The challenges we’ve encountered in the past months has taken away the time and moolah that we normally allot for our couple ME time. The husband’s been busy with KANSIS Made, and suffered from dengue fever, the daughter’s been busy with school and ballet.

When an invite from University of Perpetual Help Dalta for Mommy Bloggers from the south to try their Perps Skin and Body Center and Medspa came, I just couldn’t say no.
The daughter has a scheduled pictorial for their school’s yearbook so I had to make sure everything’s set before I leave. It’s my first time to take public transport to Las Pinas so I made thorough research on my route---  trike to Aguinaldo Hiway, Jeep marked Zapote Kabila, get off Puregold, board an Alabang bound jeep then get off Times.

Of all the days, it had to rain on that day. The Perps Skin and Body Center and Medspa is located inside the Wellness Complex of the University of Perpetual Help Dalta in Las Pinas.
I was gleefully welcomed by their manager, Marge, who turned me over to a sales consultant who toured me inside the spa. I tried to take pictures but no decent ones came out. Sorry.
Here are mental notes from the tour:
  • Their spa rooms are for individual or couples- with ensuite shower and restrooms, a sink and a Body Massage bed.
  • The spa is relaxingly quiet.
  • They have friendly staff.





After the tour, I was turned over to my therapist who would work on my Body Scrub and Body Massage. I was ushered into a couple room where my fellow mommy blogger, Jen, is already having hers.
It was actually my first time to have body scub done. When I got pregnant , I’ve asked my husband to treat me to one when I give birth but time and budget has always made it impossible.
Here are my notes on the Body Scrub and Body Massage therapy:
  • The room was quiet, temperature was comfortable. There’d been some spas I’ve tried where the room’s too cold, it was hard to relax. Perps Skin and Body Center and Medspa’s room temperature was perfect.
  • The bed was really comfy.
  • Their linens- towels, robes, blankets and pillows smelled good and clean.
  • The Body Scrub was heavenly! The scrub they used smelled really good and the strokes done by my therapist was good. I felt I lost a kilo after the scrub!
  • The Body Massage was a perfect ending to the session.
  • The ensuite shower room had a temperature concern so we had to settle for the cold water but it wasn’t much of a big issue for me because I am not used to hot showers even on cold December mornings.







I was able to chat with Jen while we were having the hot tea inside the room before we were asked to proceed to the Facial Spa and Diamond Peel area.
Notes on the Facial Spa and Diamond Peel Service:
  • The room is just for one person--- PRIVACY!
  • They have Registered Nurses for their Aestheticians.
  • The Facial Spa didn’t hurt a bit because the steam was running even during the pricking part.
  • It was my first time to try the Diamond Peel and I think I should have it done on a regular basis.




My overall experience at the Medspa was 9/10 (the cold shower activated my rhinitis so there goes that 1 point).
What surprised me is how affordable their rates are! Body Massage for 350, Body Scrub for 500, Facial Spa for 450. They also have packages where you can combine several treatments or buy GCs and save!

Fulltime WAHM since Nov 2009. My decision to become one gave birth to this blog. 😍 In 2015, my husband started KANSIS Made and I had to juggle my time between freelance work and being the business director of our micro-enterprise. In doing both plus being a hands-on mom, I've always met challenges with time management. But in every crossroad, I always remind myself of the reason why I decided to leave the corporate world and become a fulltime WAHM - to have more time with my family. I've always tried to advocate the benefits of being a fulltime WAHM to fellow moms and moms to be. I don't tire of talking about how I started as a fulltime WAHM and together with my husband, we managed to pay off the house, the car and send our daughter to school.

Unlocking the (sad) moments: Angelina

M is an only child. But not really... we have two more but both were too special, God took them back right away. Genesis is M's Kuya. I wrote about our first miscarriage in Jan 2009. In 2016, we gained another angel. But it was too painful, I managed to lock the memory in. I've spent years trying not to think about what happened.  I think I erased it from my mind. Today is Angelina's 6th year in heaven. As I recover and heal, the memory of losing her is slowly coming back. 2016 It was a really busy year. It was a busy year for Kenny and KANSIS Made. It was a busy year for McKenzie. It was a busy year for me as a WAHM. We were all too busy, we didn't know I was pregnant. In August, we went to Bacolod with Ken for his Dremel Brand Ambassador stint. I had spotting when we were inflight. But I didn't really mind it. I thought my period was coming. --- these parts are still missing, I will try to add when I remember. Sep 7 we rushed M to the hospital where she was admi...

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last
