In my previous entry, I told you about meeting the "Pevonia girls" for a post birthday lunch, right? Well, that's not all what happened. After lunch, the girls handed over a bag- silly me, I mistook it as a laptop bag ; p Found inside were Pevonia products (or "Pangkabuhayan Showcase" as Elaine calls it ; ) that I could use at home.

Anyway, as if that was not enough, they ushered me to The Spa located on the same level as Kimpura. For the next hour and a half, I experienced a luxurious service called Crystalline Body Treatment using only Pevonia products like Silky Skin Body Scrub and Micro-emulsified Massage Oil.

I am so lucky and pampered by my girl friends over at Pevonia Botanica Philippines <3.To learn more about the treatment, read after the break...

Birthday Lunch Treat From Pevonia!

Hello! How's your day? I was in Trinoma Mall earlier today where I met with the Pevonia girls (as I would love to call them ; p). They treated me to a hearty lunch at Kimpura (yes, this is still part of my post birthday celebration. IKR, it has extended until the month of June ; p)

 with Jennifer Casitas, Pevonia Philippines PR Manager/ Asst. to the Managing Director and 
Marie Elaine Palapag, Social Media & Marketing Coordinator

Our meeting was set at 11am, little did we know that the restaurant opens at 11:30am ; p Luckily, we were able to get inside before the said time, thanks to the charm of Ms. Elaine. 

We requested for seats in the Teppanyaki area. Ok, I am warning you, there's a lot and I mean a lot of food photos coming right at you! Don't judge us for what we have ordered lol 

With that said, you can read more after the break...

Pevonia Botanica Seaweed Exfoliating Soap (Ligne Nymphea)

Last December, I got a Christmas package from my good friends at Pevonia Botanica Philippines. Inside the native basket is a set of exfoliating essentials. It consists of a towel embossed with the company's logo, a scented candle, a body scrubber (in my favorite color blue!) and a seaweed exfoliating soap.

When my family and I went to Tagaytay last week, I was outdoor the whole time. Pevonia Botanica Seaweed Exfoliating Soap is the soap I need for my slightly burned skin on my back- I was wearing sleeveless shirt because the heat was killing me! I was able to use the soap when I got back and it was definitely moisturizing to the skin.

Beach Essential: Pevonia Botanica Ligne Lavandou Travel Kit

My family and I went to Canyon Cove, Batangas last weekend. Naturally, I packed my summer essentials and that includes Pevonia Botanica Ligne Lavandou. It is Pevonia Botanica's answer to sensitive skin!

Pevonia Botanica Your Skin Care Solution for Sensitive Skin PhP4,350

I know a sudden drop in temperature, like when we went to Taipei, Taiwan, would cause skin to break out easily. Exposing your skin to too much sun is not only bad for your skin but will also cause skin redness and inflammation that's why I always make sure to bring it along whenever I go on vacation. 

My Review: Obagi-C RX System C-SunGuard SPF 30

By now, most of you have read about the House Of Obagi (HOO) that I have attended two months ago. What I didn't tell you is that I was given a box of Obagi-C RX System C- Sunguard with SPF 30... woot!

I was quite happy with my Pevonia Botanica Ligne Soleil sunblock so I was not able to try this product sooner. Fact is that I tend to stick with one brand if the product suits me well. Case in point, the bottle I had was already half empty when I gave it away to my mom. Yes, I have to part with a product to give way to other brands so I can share my experience with you, my dear readers ; )

What is Sun Protection Factor (SPF)?

SPF numbers signify the duration of protection against UVB rays versus not using a sunscreen. E.g. no sunscreen= sunburn onset 10 minutes; SPF 30= sunburn onset 300 minutes.

UVA:

• Penetrates skin more deeply than UVB
• Plays a major role in accelerating photoaging: wrinkles, skin roughening, blotchy skin color, brow spots, poor skin tone, sallowness
• Can contribute to development of skin cancer

UVB:

• Penetrates skin less deeply than UVA
• Is a primary cause of sunburn
• Plays a key role in the development of skin cancer
• Contributes to photoaging

Celebrating Birthday Pinoy Henyo Style 2011

The celebration lasted for a month! I am finally down to my last post about my birthday party. For a change, this year Cherie and I celebrated our birthdays in her new home. Yey!

All the while we thought most of our friends couldn't make it. Some texted in that they already have a schedule for the night and some even complained how far the venue was. You know who you are ; p But the most important thing is that everybody turned up that night! 

Relaxing Weekend in Quan Spa Marriott Hotel Manila

My event: May 1, 2011

This is my pre- birthday present from Pevonia Botanica. Quan Spa inside Marriott Hotel Manila is a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. I am so happy that I get to share this experience with DH. 

Quan Spa

Quan literally means a source of pure water. It also refers to all things good and pure. At Quan Spa, the miracle of water lies ahead of you.

DH and I love spas! You can tell by my tweets and on my FB wall that we have weekly massages. We even recently discovered a home massage called Spa Amansala but that would be another post haha 

While Jen and I were direct messaging thru FaceBook about having Pevonia as one of my sponsor for my birthday blowout giveaway, topic about spas crop up. Apparently, Pevonia distributes organic spa products in prestigious spa like The Spa and Quan Spa. That's how DH and I were able to try Pevonia's Summer Temptation- a full body ritual that includes a body scrub, massage, 30 minute facial and bath soak. Tempting indeed!

Pevonia Botanica contest

Last month, I met Jenny of Pevonia Botanicals Philippines when I went to The Spa to try The Express Facial and The Purifying Back Treatment. Pevonia is the product used by leading spas including Suriya Spa, Toccare Spa, Amorita Resort and of course, The Spa.

Dr. Sylvie Henessy, Pevonia's creator together with renowned elite biologists created a complete line of products and treatments for face and body containing the the finest natural marine and botanical ingredients. Launched in 1991, it delivers outstanding results to every skin type. 

I was given samples of Pevonia's Sun Line- just 1 of the 18 lines that answers directly to what the skin needs. This product was given to me in the most timely manner because summer time is right here, right now ; p

As I have said in the previous post, sunscreen is my best defense from the harmful rays of the sun. So, when I was given a choice on what sample to receive, between sunscreen and a body scrub, naturally, I went for  sunscreen. 

Pevonia Hydrating Sunscreen SPF30  PhP3680

The scent reminded me of Coppertone, this sunscreen safeguards the skin from burning and aging rays- UVA & UVB as well as infra-red rays. And yes, one of the active ingredients is Titanium Dioxide.

It is non- greasy and gives a silky smooth feel when applied on face and body. I use this primarily on my face though.

Breaking News... MrsMartinez in Business Mirror!

Alright and I thought getting people to LIKE my blog posts in Pond's microsite would get me nowhere instead I got an odd request from an old batch mate of mine, Mike. He asked if I can write an article to be posted in Business Mirror's supplemental magazine called Health & Fitness. This was after I asked him to PLEASE like my Pond's post haha After exchanging a few words, if I am getting compensated- NO, I wasn't paid to contribute (poor me!) He gave me his assurance that he is willing to print my blog URL and Pond's microsite in exchange for a 2 page article! Oh, the things I would do to promote it haha

While I didn't promised Mike anything because he just gave me a vague description of what the topic is all about- summer and skin. He reminded me not to mention any product along the way haha It kills me to keep secrets to my readers. And of course the deadline- was it Sunday or Monday night? hehe I wasn't really sure! Oh, by the way, I will put in blue the names of the brands I love!

As usual, I crammed and submitted a few hours before the deadline but only a page and a half... whew! As usual, I didn't know how I managed to write an article but I did with my eyes half close lol I didn't attach any pictures, not even a description of myself. I just wrote "By MrsMartinez", included the links of my blog and of course, the microsite... most important! lol Okay, I didn't expect that my article would passed and get printed, talk about no confidence at all haha

Here's my article:

Taking skin care to heart this summer!

By MrsMartinez

Summer means baring more skin under the sun. While some of you like the idea of getting a tan, I, on the other hand, hide behind my powerful sunscreen. And if that’s not enough, I could always count on my huge sunglasses. I am fair skinned to start with so my protection from the sun is nil, nada.

The Spa Eastwood and a giveaway!

My visit: March 16, 2011

March is officially the start of summer vacation! While some of you have already booked a trip out of the country or are heading to the beach, I, on the other hand, spent a day in a spa! And not just in any other spa, it has to be The Spa ; )

I was happy when I got a personal invitation from Ms. Drey Dumancas, Marketing and Communications Manager of The Spa, to try two of their newest treatments- The Purifying Back Treatment and The Express Facial. 


And so, one Wednesday afternoon, I booked an appointment and spent almost 2 hours inside a Premier suite.
