A new side to Masseto! Bar M on the left door
We came for dinner at Masseto and decided to check out the new bar
Of course I looked for the bar menu 🙂 Which we had when we moved to Masseto
Bar M pizza! Caramelized onion with anchovies, gruyere and parmesan cheese! WOW! I love the thin crust which Tippi makes from the kitchen. I thought it was film pastry but it’s not

Thank you to Donna Nievera-Conda for inviting me to her newly opened Salon!!!
More than a beautiful view in Salon Beauvoir
Though its French name directly translates to “a beautiful view”, it is an understatement to describe Salon Beauvoir, the metro’s newest luxury salon, as just beautiful. Tucked in the tranquil quarters of Somerset Olympia at the core of Makati’s bustling CBD, this relaxing sanctuary tops the growing list of high-end pampering centers today.
Beautiful receptionists greeting you by the entrance
Beyond the Usual Flair
Upon entering, guests won’t help but wonder if they’ve just been transported to an elegant dressing room of an aristocratic French boudoir. From its interiors alone, Salon Beauvoir is truly a feast for the senses. Deviating from the usual modern minimalist style, the salon’s take on its French inspiration commences with the delicate wall treatments and is carried onto the ceilings adorned with elegant chandeliers. The lobby makes a grand statement with an impressive reception table, a larger-than-life velvet couch paired with an equally huge vintage mirror. The main styling area has eight individual dressers lining the wall and is complemented by ten individual floating stations in acrylic and steel, fusing vintage with modern touches.
There is a special section for Men
And here is Donna!! Aside from owning the Salon which is a side business for Donna, she also owns and manages her own advertising and PR firm, Stratworks. And from what I hear, she is very good and very successful! And take note, she is from Assumption! 🙂
A cut above the rest
Apart from its classy interiors, Salon Beauvoir boasts of an impressive pool of seasoned beauty experts and professional stylists.
A visit to the salon starts with a consultation with the creative team to discuss the customers’ personal beauty needs. Leading the team is the husband-and-wife tandem of Jojo and Monette Rivera. Having honed her hairdressing technique with Vidal Sassoon in Kuala Lumpur and her color expertise through various courses with L’Oreal Academie, Monette takes on the role of Creative Director. She comes with more than 20 years of experience in various high-end salons in Metro Manila. Just recently, she bagged the highest award for the L’Oreal Master Colorist course and will be sharing her knowhow as the featured Local Guest Artist of L’Oreal for 2012.
On the other hand, Senior Stylist Jojo Rivera is considered one of the “best kept secrets” in men hair styling because of his exceptional expertise in men’s grooming. In his more than two decades of experience in the industry, Jojo has won the prestigious Schwarzkopf Hair Styling Competition and represented the country in the international competition. He is a favorite stylist to many male personalities in the country today.
Another member of the Salon Beauvoir creative team is international stylist, Sam Santos, who has travelled to no less than 70 countries. His rigorous but exciting trainings in London as part of the Steiner Group (the official hairdresser to the queen and her guests), have greatly helped him hone his craft. With 26 years in the beauty industry, he is an authority in hair styling, makeup, treatments, and facials. He was even given the moniker the “Repair Man” by his clients because of his remarkable skill in hair styling and rejuvenating extremely damaged hair.
Adding to the list is the young and stylish, Pam Ferrater who has more than ten years of salon experience. She studied hairdressing at the Center for Aesthetic Studies (CAS) and later had the chance to become the personal hair stylist and makeup artist for the royal family in Brunei. While multi-skilled, she specializes in hair and makeup, including airbrush makeup.
Another key member of the Salon Beauvoir team is Susy Cervantes, known in some beauty circles as the “Waxing Queen.” She has trained in top local and international salons in more than fifteen years in the beauty industry. Susy supervises the nail and body care group of Salon Beauvoir and continues to be the preferred “waxing lady” of her exclusive and upscale clientele.

To ensure utmost privacy, the salon has 3 VIP rooms equipped with delightful amenities such as iPads for use of the VIP guests. Each room is perfect for individuals who want to unwind after a day’s work or for a group of friends who want to bond over beauty pampering sessions. A separate private room is designated as the waxing and facial service area.
The whole salon has free Wi-Fi connection for customers. The convenience is further enhanced by the available parking at the basement of Somerset Olympia and the proximity of food and beverage establishments such as the enduring classic Old Swiss Inn.
They have private rooms and this is where I had my salon day!!!
Delicious iced tea
and oh my gosh!!!! SWISS INN MENU??? Since Swiss Inn is right beside Salon Beauvoir, they can serve you food from there!! OH MY GOSH!!! I LOVE SWISS INN! I could not say no!
The Swiss waiter delivering my food 🙂
RACLETTE!!!!!! YUM! If I could have fondue, I would have ordered. haha just kidding! 🙂 Good thing I had my private room so I did not bother others with the cheesy smell 🙂
I went to another room for waxing
A different kind of waxing technology – she just pulls out one of those bottles which are already heated and then removes the cover and then rolls it on the part of the body to be waxed. Very easy and no mess!
This is a special waxing gadget for brazilian. Just so you won’t injure that sensitive part

Why not spend for a mattress that you will sleep in every single day of your life? Am I sounding like a broken record? Half of your life you are sleeping in a mattress. It should not be a matter of price but a matter of which one will suit your needs and help you get a good night sleep. And it’s all worth it. It will be one of the best investments you will make for yourself and for your health! You tend to discover this later on in life when health becomes more of a priority but the earlier the better. I am telling you, if James could bring our mattress when we travel, he would!
Last month, I visited the Tempur showroom in Greenbelt 5 ( Also Available at Rustan’s department store ) and this is what I saw
Tempur was originally developed by NASA to help relieve pressure on the astronauts’ backs during take
off. Recognized for its significant contribution in transferring space technology into the private sector
to help improve the quality of life, Tempur is now the only mattress certified by NASA and the Space Foundation.
Aside from mattresses they have pillows to suit every need. They have installment plans even for pillow 🙂
Two beautiful ladies- Malu and Leica 🙂 – hosted the afternoon
With Dr. Keith Aguilera, Director of the Sleep Disorder Center of St, Luke’s Medical Center. He told us about the importance of having a good night’s sleep and how important a good mattress in helping you sleep better
Chosen to test-sleep the new mattress line of their choice were Ernie Lopez, businessman and triathlete, and Tessa Prieto-Valdes, lifestyle icon and marathoner, 2 of Manila’s busiest people! Tessa and Ernie were handpicked not only due to their influence in business, sports and society, but also as long time fans of Tempur Pillows and sleep masks. They both certainly appreciate the value of a good night’s sleep given their busy schedules for work, exercise, leisure, and family.
Mr. Stephen Sy, owner of Focus Global Inc, distributor of Tempur in the Philippines. What an interesting story of fate as to how they got chosen to represent the brand. I love listening to the behind the scene stories and how it came about 🙂 We missed Loli Sy during the launch who is also very active in the business
Ernie trying to get a pretty lady into a TEMPUR bed! 🙂
The highlight of the event was a demonstration wherein a wine glass was placed on one side of a
Tempur mattress while a model jumped all over the bed. The glass stayed where it was – proving
that the Tempur material absorbs motion energy so that partners are less disturbed by each other’s movements and can therefore enjoy a better night’s sleep.
At TEMPUR, we don’t simply bring you a bed to sleep on – we believe a bed should do more. We bring you the promise of Night-time Renewal for body and mindTM. Visit www.tempur.ph to order your free Night Time Renewal Kit.
Description
Did you know that during sleep, the body regenerates more quickly? This is why the lack of sleep can affect vital functions such as learning and memory.
A TEMPUR mattress will give you your best night’s sleep by conforming to the shape of your body and more. It finds the most comfortable position and support your body needs to get a good night’s rest.
Temperature sensitive TEMPUR material senses your body temperature. It becomes softer in warmer areas, where your body exerts more pressure while remaining firm in cooler areas.Full body supportIt provides amazing comfort and support by gently molding to the shape of your body—including your neck, back, shoulders and legs.Less tossing and turningYour body weight is perfectly absorbed and redistributed by the TEMPUR material to relieve pressure points.Better sleepTEMPUR material absorbs motion energy so that partners are less disturbed by each other’s movements.Feel the DifferenceSoft where you want it, firm where you need it. The Tempur experience has satisfied customers talking about their favorite TEMPUR mattress. A recent survey across 12 countries shows that owners are so happy about their TEMPUR experience that they’re talking about it.
In fact, 85% of TEMPUR owners have recommended their mattress to someone else and on average recommend it to more than 7 people.
Just like anything else, each one has their own requirements so there are three kinds of mattresses to choose from to fit your needs
As we know, everyone has a preferred sleeping position. Withthis in mind, Tempur has designed the following new mattresses: The Cloud mattress, provides superior support with a softer feel. The Sensation mattress has a sturdier feel with maximum support for your body to lessen unwanted restless sleep. The Original mattress perfectly soft and firm, contours to the shape and position of your body and supports your neck, back and shoulders.
Everyone else jumping into a Tempur bed!
