Spa pleasures and a wonder car come to Cebu

C‘EST CEBU - Honey Jarque Loop -
Salon de Rose, one of the city’s oldest beauty parlors in whose portals generations of Cebuanos and residents from neighboring islands have passed for that magical, pampering transfiguration of sorts, recently expanded its already extensive service with the opening of a day spa at Ayala Center Cebu.

Trained at the well-respected and highly esteemed Chiva-Som Academy in Thailand, globally recognized as the premier instruction and indoctrination center on spas, the therapists offer both holistic therapies and aesthetic treatments from the Thai head massage to body wraps and Oriental foot rituals.

The aestheticians, meanwhile, have undergone a series of sessions at the Guinot Institut Paris, a leader in the professional world of skin care, using exclusively its very own cosmetics and other products backed by scientific research acknowledged by over 9,000 top salons, to satisfy the demanding needs of women.

With nine well-appointed suites, the day spa provides privacy with utmost charm. The interiors are minimalist providing an ideal and serene yet extremely luxurious atmosphere to soothe the mind and relax the body.

An initial visit and a one-on-one consultation with the spa’s specialists and experts will assist one in selecting and designing a personalized treatment and beauty program that will best suit a guest.

With its rare combination of quality products and specially trained staff, one is assured of the ultimate spa experience at the Salon de Rose Day Spa at the centrally located Ayala Center Cebu.

Every once in a while, something comes along that is so uniquely different. A perfect example is one of the most anticipated vehicles in recent years, the BMW 5 series.

To formally announce its arrival on the island, Andre Borromeo, the driven general manager of BMW Cebu, hosted a rah-rah of a gathering at the impressive super spic and span showroom in downtown Cebu with Cebu First Lady Margot Osmeña and a serious collector of vintage automobiles Bobby Aboitiz doing the symbolic ribbon cutting.

Guests from Manila who jetted in for the affair where Javier Calero, chairman of Performance Auto BMW, Mark Gilbert, president of BMW Philippines, and Baudouin Denis, sales and marketing director. They were joined by Fernando Ferrer, service director, and Al Camba, marketing manager.

A guest who is a car lover and who obviously knew what he was looking for in a new car shared his sentiments by proclaiming that "The BMW features a polished exterior that is novel in silhouette yet having the look of an instant classic. A striking feature is the way in which a sense of luxury has been introduced without compromising the cars unfussy functionality."

To put it simply, the new BMW 5 series is designed to guarantee maximum driving pleasure, agility and safety. Or, as the BMW engineers say it so matter of factly in their excellent catalogue, "All conflicts of aim are resolved."
