PZ was invited to officiate the launch of 128 Faubourg Salon by Sothy’s in Publika Shopping Gallery recently. Also in attendance from Paris were Marketing Director of Sothy’s Stephanie de Chaxel and Institute Training Director of Sothy’s Institut, Isabelle Villey.

The retail spa salon was beautifully enhanced for a stronger retail appeal with the treatment rooms behind for a calm, soothing step away from the mundane.

We know the prestigious Sothy’s brand very well as it’s ideally located on rue du Faubourg St Honore near the luxurious Hotel Le Bristol and Palais d’Elysees home of France’s President.

128 Faubourg Salon by Sothy’s is also a strong partner with Originalo Ultimate Gift Experience www.originalo.com.my in all our Spa packages as we both believe in providing our customers excellent quality treatments and service in elegant and refined surroundings.

Company’s gift boxes offer fine experiences for loved ones

ORIGINALO has just launched five new gifts categories in time for Christmas — Adrenalin, Delicious Dining, Luxury Dining, For Her and For Him.

Originalo gifts offer an easy solution to getting the ideal gift for family and friends that will have them screaming with delight.

Do not know what to get this holiday season?

Originalo has the perfect answer with its new additions: For Her (RM200) a gift-box set for women with style; For Him (RM200) a gift box set for men with attitude.

These multi-thematic gift box sets allow your recipient to choose from 12 amazing lifestyle experiences ranging from spa treatments, dining and action. How perfect is that?

Wide range: Tengku Zatashah and Aubry Rahim want to give people the option of giving the best gift with Originalo.

Know a thrill-seeker?

Then offer Adrenalin (RM200), which entitles one, two or more people to a choice of 12 exciting action-packed experiences on water, in the air or on the ground – from shark cage diving, hip hop dancing, martial arts, paintball, flying in a Cessna plane to indoor golf. the choice is yours!

Know a foodie?

Then offer Delicious Dining (RM199), which entitles two people to a choice of 12 delicious restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, or Luxury Dining (RM299), which entitles two people to a choice of 12 fine-dining restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

Know of someone in need of a little pampering?

Then offer Spa Beauty (RM180), which entitles one person to a fabulous choice of 25 amazing spa treatments; Spa Massage (RM250), which entitles one person to a choice of 23 spa massages; or Luxury Spa (RM350), which entitles one person to a choice of 31 high-end luxury spas.

For a jetsetter, offer Ultimate Escape (RM550), which entitles two people to a fabulous weekend escape across Malaysia to destinations such as Kuala Lumpur, Cherating, Cameron Highlands, Penang, Malacca, Ipoh, Tioman, and Port Dickson.

The concept is simple to use: inside each Originalo gift box is a booklet and a voucher. All you have to do is select one of the experiences from the booklet.Then book directly with the experience provider and present the voucher at the venue.

“The beauty of this gift is that whatever gift you choose, they are guaranteed to make your Christmas brighter and more special because we have carefully selected only the best for our customers,” said Tengku Datin Paduka Setia Zatashah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, the driving force behind the company.

Her husband Aubry Rahim Mennesson added: “It is really targeted at those who appreciate the fine things in life and this is a more elegant way to say you care.”

Originalo positions itself as a “provider of next-generation lifestyle gifts” with prices starting from RM180.

The gifts are available from the website www.originalo.com.my and at selected Borders bookstores (The Gardens Mall, Bangsar Village II, and The Curve).

Aleenta Resort, Phuket

This resort is a hidden jewel of Phuket, and no surprises with it being part of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) as well as winning 4 awards in 2011 by Asia Pacific Hotels Award as ‘Best Sustainable Hotel in Thailand’, ‘Best Small Hotel in Thailand’, ‘Best Sustainable Hotel Asia Pacific’, and ‘Best Small Hotel Asia Pacific’.

If that isn’t enough accolades, Frog and I were in 7th heaven – a slice of paradise! The service was friendly and excellent, the food was superb, the facilities top-notch and our Ocean View Loft room was just perfect – and the best part you wouldn’t believe is that it’s great value for money.

Located on the pristine, secluded beach of NaTai beach, 20 minutes north from Phuket airport. We didn’t move from here. So content we were to chillax by the beach, by our pool  with free WIFI everywhere, we soon forgot the mundane world.

Aleenta Resort also offers Thai cooking classes, free yoga, taichi and detox programmes too and a great looking spa by the beach. It was our perfect relaxing weekend getaway, a great discovery to fall in love again with Phuket -Phang Nga Bay. For great excursions, we recommend the day boat trip to Phang Nga Bay (remember The Beach) and James Bond island (remember The Man with the Golden Gun).

This resort will definitely see Frog and I making a return trip in the near future! Bliss. :)
