Going to the spa is one of my favorite ME times. Attending the launch of the latest Bluewater Day Spa in Capitol Hills excited me because this branch is closest to home and school of my children.

But it looks like now’s my chance, because the flagship Kate Torralba Store at Greenbelt 5 is holding an anniversary sale from February 1 to February 10! Up to 70% off on their older items and 10% on the 2009 collection! Some...
