Best Mangal II London

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

One of our best meals in London!  There are three branches – two on this road and another on Fullhan road.  I highly recommend this place.  You must have Tutkish, Lebanese, Persian when in London!

As you enter, in the front of the restaurant is the grill with all the kebabs!

Peter Jones by John Lewis

By | Shopping, Travel | No Comments

Suharto and Rina suggested we go to Peter Jones  in Sloane Square to take a peek.  It’s a popular department store among the British where you can find almost anything you will need and at reasonable prices.  This location is good because it is not as crowded as the other John Lewis stores.  Peter Jones was a fabric store which was bought by John Lewis.  So this is technically a John Lewis store but they maintained the name of the old shop 

We caught a Godiva demo of chocolates and got some samples of yummy chocolates

The River Cafe London

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

With PAL, it’s so easy to go to London now!!  You arrive around 3pm in the afternoon and have time for dinner before going to bed 🙂  We had an Italian dinner by the River Thames.  The weather was beautiful we ate outdoors.  It had been warm the past couple of days before we arrived so it was pleasant that evening  

It would probably be nice to live in one of these flats by the River Thames 🙂

We were lucky to get a table since the whole place was full in no time even if we came at 630pm

OMG! A pink wood fired oven for Heart2Heart 🙂

Leelu Mobile Massage

By | Giving Back, Spas | No Comments

In a few days, this pretty Mummy, Kate Moynihan, will be giving birth to her third child!  A baby girl 🙂  Two months ago, she also gave birth to her most recent venture called Leelu Mobile Massage.  

mummy-kate-moynihan-leelu-mobila-massage.jpegkates-story-leelu-massage.JPGleelu-mobile-massage.jpgleelu-mobile-massage-about.jpg

I was able to visit Kate in her new home and in the basement she has a set up for training all her MA-ssage Therapists.  This is not the typical P 250.00 home service massage.

The massages are of better quality since she uses imported massage oils from the UK and the quality of massage is better since Kate went to school abroad to learn massage and her specialty was really on training

Meet the team behind Leelu Mobile Massage

Kate and her team of MA-ssage Therapists.  Ma for Mama or Mummy 🙂  I hope that you will all help Kate help these Mummies and more mummies in the future as she grows her business.  I wish you all the luck in everything Kate!!  Good luck and more power!

Last week I was able to experience a Leelu massage from Mummy Harleen.  She came ready with everything – the massage table, the linens and the oil.  It’s a simple swedish massage but the quality of the massage, the strokes and the oil are really different from the others home service massages I have tried.  I will be trying the foot massage soon 🙂
