Mama Miah!

I am currently addicted to pom poms, specifically yarn pom poms. I just made a DIY Pom Pom Curtains made of yarns in different colors.  I was about to use the pom poms I made for a different project but I got excited and made it all to a curtain. 

I love the fact that my baby loves it, the different colors attracts her. There's just one thing though, she can't resist and grab the pom poms in the window! She would really make ways just to get the pom poms, like climbing in the chair then to her mini table and then to the window... 

Anyways, the process in doing the yarn pom poms is really simple, you just need a lot of patience if you want to make more. There are different kinds of process to make the pom poms and here are the techniques to make it easier for everyone to make it.

I recently find out a way to make yarn pom poms in bulk! This tutorial could have saved me a lot of time doing the pom poms. Well, there's still a next time because I will be doing more pom poms and make it as a curtain for my daughter's playroom... :)

You can experiment and mix different colors too. Try different colors that would blend and you'll create a colorful pom pom. 

By the way, after you have made your pom poms, you will be needing a thread and a needle. You can use a yarn too or a transparent nylon thread. Measure the length of your window so you'll have an idea on how long would your thread be and then you can now start sewing the pom poms in the middle... :)

This DIY craft is really nice especially on occasions like birthdays, christening or just a decoration in your house or your kids room or playroom. 

There you go, I hope those tutorials had helped you as it has helped me... 'Til next DIY crafts! ;)

I recently attended the soft opening of The Healing Spa and Massage along with a few of the Davao Bloggers. I was 30 minutes early and the owner, Miss Gloria was really friendly and Isis too who is the one who accommodated me. I was glad I went there early because I got the chance to roam around the place and take a few photos. 

I love their wall frames by the way... :)

Another blogger arrived early too and while waiting Miss Isis talked to us about their signature massage which is the Pinoy Hilot. 

In Pinoy Hilot the masseur will roll a bamboo on your back to locate the panuhot (flatulence) and when it's found they will use a steamed 'Thai Pack' and press it on the afflicted areas. The Thai Pack is composed of different kinds herbs inside like: tuba-tuba, tanglad (lemon grass), ginger, guava leaves, and other herbs. It actually smells good... In Pinoy Hilot, they will use a sheet to cover you and let you perspire (in bisaya, bukot). They also use steamed banana leaves on your entire back and when there's so much panuhot, it tears off. 

Isis also showed us a comb which is made of jade which they will use in Pinoy Hilot to comb your hair and help you relax. I think the other one is for the feet where the pressure points will be pressed.

Their place looks small and had narrow ways but they had maximize their spaces. I was surprised that they have lots of beds inside, I think it's around 12 and were divided by curtains. They have beds that are on the bamboo floor and there are also the typical massage beds.

The Healing Spa Massage and Spa is located at Davao Success Realty Compound, Walk-in Alley, Ponciano Reyes Street, Davao City (In front of Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Elem. School).

UPDATE:

Me, my mom and sister tried their signature PINOY HILOT and it was the best massage I have ever encountered. My mom and sister liked their services too. :)
