Sunday August 30th, 2009 02:19 Feet Spa-mpering

Pampering your feet is a must, especially after standing on them the entire day. And with all the walking we “dakilang alalays” aka medical clerks do, feet pampering becomes an essential if not a requisite.

I received a text message from my ex-roommie Mela this afternoon asking if I was free for pedicure and dinner. It was the perfect moment. We were from duty the previous night and a few hours relaxing our tired feet is the cherry to cap our duty. But imagine our dismay when we discovered how the three affordable salons near our place along E. Rodriguez could not feed our needs. While we were walking, we chanced upon a tarpaulin advertising a new place offering foot and body massage services at such a very, very friendly price.

The place is called Feet Galore Spa which is gps systems-friendly located at the 2nd floor of Dona Anita Bldg along E. Rodriguez Ave. in front of St. Luke’s Medical Center and Burger King.

The place is new – barely a week old – according to the front desk attendant whom I surmise to be the owner. The ambiance is so relaxing that I’d really want to doze off while plopped on such a comfy chair if only I wasn’t very ticklish. Mela and I availed of their foot scrub which came with a pedicure. Their foot scrubs come in three variants: peppermint, strawberry and milk. I was told most of their guests prefer the peppermint scrub which the both of us tried. The service lasted about an hour and a half as my attendant, Joyce, very carefully scrubbed my feet (she was too careful that I honestly think she could have scrubbed my feet harder than she did). I was told that their pedicurist wasn’t around so what they’ll be doing after the scrub is only to push the cuticles and clean my nails without removing toenail ingrowths. Good enough for me as I just had a pedicure exactly a week ago. There aren’t much nail colors to choose from but it didn’t matter since we’d be wearing closed shoes most of the time. What delighted me was the massage part of the foot scrub which bolstered my desire to try their other body massage services in the future. I can’t vouch much for their services as I’ve only tried their foot scrub but their pocket-friendly price and accessibility alone is enough for me to come back for my weekly feet spa-mpering.
