If you could have a nice young man travel to your luxurious private villa to perform his grandmother-taught reflexology skills on your fat lounging carcass, wouldn’t you? Me too.
It just so happened that the owner of Villa Naga Maya [...]
This being my third time in Ubud and the third time in Ubud that it’s raining, I decide to skip my typical wanderings up and down Monkey Forest Road looking for knickknacks nobody wants or needs and instead head back to Kenko for another amazing foot reflexology treatment. I decide to throw in a manicure [...]
Proving once again that paying more doesn’t mean getting better, I’m lying on a massage table in Ubud and I’m annoyed.
My friend from Singapore and I arrived at the Pertiwi Resort & Spa not an hour before and decided to splurge. Since spa is in the name, I know to expect higher prices than I’ve [...]
I have a friend visiting from Singapore. I love that fact. I’m in Bali 8,000 miles away from home and I’ve got a houseguest. That’s awesome.
Once she arrives though I’m anxious to hit the road. There are a couple places I still want to see around the island and having never been to Bali before, [...]
I fell for Eden Green because of their branding. Every day I walk by and see the sherbet green and white signage and think to myself that I’ll have to try it out sooner or later. Most super low-cost massage places are more like cheap hair salons with massage thrown in as an afterthought. So, [...]
Oh! My! God! I’ve found Nirvana! It’s called Chill and it exists in what looks from the outside like a hipster bar you’d find in LA. But open the door and you’ll catch a faint whiff of peppermint and orange, without even a hint of pretension. Then you’ll be greeted by a helpful receptionist who [...]
After the supremely pleasurable experience at Kenko’s up in Ubud, I’m seriously digging the foot reflexology. I also thoroughly enjoyed the hair crème bath I received at Tugu Hotel on my wedding day, so I hunt the internet to find a place around Legian where I can indulge in both.
I come across Secret Garden Spa. [...]
Man, I hate when someone suffixes something with Palooza.
Anway.
So, today is the big day. (Well, it was when I first wrote this…10/31/07) Travel Boyfriend and I are taking the Nestea Plunge® into wedded matrimony. But first, I’m going to offer myself over to Tugu Hotel’s spa staff to tenderize me into a state of euphoria.
Bless [...]
The day before my wedding, I decide to give Sicilia Spa another go. But this time for a pretty little manicure and pedicure so the tips of my limbs will be tastefully decorated for the big day.
Travel Boyfriend and I walk in together and I spot a man sitting behind the reception desk. Locking eyes [...]
Still in Ubud and eager to have an honest-to-goodness reflexology treatment, I stroll into Kenko Reflexology. I’m the only one in there, but it’s early in the morning, so I figure I didn’t just wander into a big mistake.
I don’t.
A young man named Putu seats me in a reclinable chair and gingerly washes my tootsies [...]
