I’ve been hearing about this place, so we went to check it out 🙂

Very cozy and Mediterranean mixed with Filipino, I like it.  I was not able to go to the beach anymore because it was too hot to go down and did not have much time

There are two buildings – this is the main one which is what was shown above

Then you cross a bridge to get to the other building with more rooms

Handuraw Spa, Eskaya Resort, Bohol

By | Accomodations, Spas, Travel | No Comments

 We had an unusual stay at Eskaya.  The villas were all full and to maximize, they let us stay in the spa

 There are two spa villas – we stayed on the right side- entrance to the right spa

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-04.jpg

 Foyer as you enter

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-05.jpg

  The door on the right goes to the treatment room which became our room

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-06.jpg

Wow look how wide and spacious!!

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-023.jpg

I took this other shot to show the height of the ceiling!!

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-024.jpg

Our view to our private pool 🙂

Outside is the jacuzzi which we never even had the time to use!

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-016.jpg

Our pool with a beautiful view!!!!!

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-010.jpghanduraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-015.jpg

Go down the steps and you have a private deck where you can hang out or dine – never even reached there!! haha!! Too little time, we were so busy outside the room

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-017.jpg

Another view of our pool facing the room 

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-018.jpg

From the foyer, on the left side is our bathroom which was a bit small but it was okay.  very little closet space because it is really meant for a spa only

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-07.jpg

No privacy in the bathroom as you can be seen through the door – we are not used to it so we are conscious if people can see us from outside 🙂  but what is nice is you can open it and it leads straight to the pool and from the pool you can go straight to the bathroom

At night, we had different tokens on our pillows 🙂  

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-029.jpghanduraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-030.jpg

We had our massage in the room of course 🙂  

handuraw-spa-eskaya-bohol-028.jpg

The second time, we asked them to bring the spa beds because they have a different firmness when having a massage compared to the beds.  So we got our wish 🙂

Born Free

By | Giving Back, What's New at Rustan's, What's new at Shopwise? | One Comment

Born Free – Make It Right From The Start!

Human Nature is the Philippines’ leading brand of genuinely natural personal care and cosmetics products. A social enterprise, it is driven by its core philosophy: PRO-PHILIPPINES, PRO-POOR and PRO-ENVIRONMENT. Founded in November 2008 by Anna Meloto-Wilk and Camille Meloto, daughters of Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto, Human Nature’s products are 100% made in the Philippines and 100% free from harmful chemicals.

 human-nature-born-free.jpg

Babies are God’s precious little gifts, life’s miracles filled with such innocence, love and joy. BUT, do you know that some ingredients found in baby products and baby food have actually been linked to asthma, reproductive disorder and more? At this early point in a baby’s life, their immune systems are at their most vulnerable stage, so it’s important to know what you are feeding them and putting on their bodies.

Human Nature, in partnership with Rustan’s Supermarket and Shopwise and supported by Mommy Mundo, have teamed up to bring you BORN FREE – a campaign that’s all about setting your little one on the path to a healthy life… about making it right from the start. For every parent’s peace of mind, Human Nature Natural Baby Care products are now a retail exclusive in Rustan’s Supermarket and Shopwise to make sure that your baby enjoys only the purest, most natural care that’s 100% free from harmful chemicals such as phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil and parabens.  

Introducing, Human Nature’s 3-step baby care — the first and only genuinely natural and affordable baby care products available for Filipino mothers everywhere.

 baby-wash-human-nature-born-free.jpg

 Step 1 – 99.3% Natural Baby Wash for Gentle Cleansing.  Cleans your baby’s skin and hair while nourishing it at the same time, thanks to its unique natural ingredients. Lavender, rosemary and chamomile help calm and soothe for a happy baby during bath time. (500ml – Php299.75; 200ml – Php149.75)

Step 2 – 100% Natural Baby Lotion to Moisturize & Nourish. Newborn babies need time to adjust to their new, dry environment. Keep your baby’s skin from drying out with this 100% natural baby lotion made with avocado and sunflower oils plus aloe vera to lock in moisture and provide skin nourishment. It’s the leave-on lotion made with all-natural goodness to keep your baby happy and rash-free. (200ml– Php174.75)

 baby-oil-human-nature-born-free.jpg

Step 3 – 100% Natural Baby Oil to Protect & Nurture. Studies have shown that premature or low birth weight babies massaged daily with sunflower oil are 41% less likely to develop infections. Made with pure, premium-grade sunflower oil – none of that mineral oil that comes from the same black gooey stuff that fuels your car – to help heal, protect and nourish baby’s skin. It’s the baby “oil-over” you can truly trust! (100ml – Php174.75)

 

Nurturing and caring for your babies has never been this easy! And because love knows no compromise, Human Nature provides you with… Only the Good!

Eskaya Beach Resort, Bohol

By | Travel | No Comments

Five years ago, we went to Bohol and we had the chance to visit Eskaya when it was just about to be opened. Click below for the photos

Previous Entry:  Eskaya January 4, 2008 

This time, we had the opportunity to stay here.  We were so happy to be back on Bohol for another experience!!!

A warm welcome at the airport.  They take care of claiming your luggages and you just get into the car and go to the resort

eskaya-bohol-01.jpgeskaya-bohol-07.jpg

and a warm welcome as you arrive in Eskaya 🙂

eskaya-bohol-02.jpgeskaya-bohol-04.jpgeskaya-bohol-05.jpg

It’s so hot in Bohol, you will really need to ride the golf cart from your villa to the cafe and to the beach

eskaya-bohol-03.jpg

 View of the beach  from on top.  You need to walk down to get to the beach 

eskaya-bohol-08.jpgeskaya-bohol-010.jpgeskaya-bohol-09.jpg

Roads to the villas.  There are only 15 villas in the resort 

eskaya-bohol-011.jpgeskaya-bohol-06.jpg

This is an art! I love it! They put the petals one by one!!!
