A drainage we will go......

Ha! HA! Sounds like an ad for Indah Water or Syabas aye? Or DBKL.......

This has got nothing to do with irrigation folks...This is drainage of our lymph nodes....drainage of all the water which bloats us up till we gain a whopping 3 kg more after our "time of the month", excessive travelling ( which i am renowned for) and simple terrible diet and malnutrition....

A skip & waddle over to Spa Artiyana - owned & runned by my good friend Mimi....she ushers me in with a glass of water with loads of lemon in it. I suspect this kicks of the detoxifying. Then they send me to the steam room where i soak my feet in a clay bowl of water filled with flowers.....

after about 20 minutes in the steam room, they put me through a body scrub..with a mysterious concoction of grainy salts. I am told that handling & massaging with these salts also has a draining effect on the therapist....she will in turn need to go to the "little girl's room" as much as the person being scrubbed. Oh did i forget to tell you - i had to go to the LGR straight after the steam (see what i mean about the lemon drink??).

After the scrub, had a short bath...then the therapist started to uli me. This is not like the usual "muscle alignment" sorta massage - so it does not hurt...but every 15 minutes, i had to visit the LGR..in total - i had to go 6 times before the session was over.

HAd to drink loads of water - but now i feel much lighter and i have lost almost 2 kg. HAH! It was water retention after all.

This comes with a hefty price tag, but the results does make you feel better....

KUDOS Mimi.....
