Map of Japan sofa set from the Chibakenritsu Chuo Hakubutsukan (Chiba Natural History Museum). I want one of these in my house! With the map of the Philippines of course. It's a darned good thing!

I love aromatherapeutic massage oils! One time I was looking through the products at the Echo Store, this bottle caught my eye. I am not (yet) concerned with wrinkles and cellulites, well okay a little, and the name sure got me to pick up the bottle.

It smelled divine! My thing with virgin coconut oil is that niyog smell that reminds me of latik, which is good on sapin-sapin, but not when it's left for an extended period on your skin. This oil smelled of pure relaxation. Eucalyptus is a favorite scent, and the hint of ginger is subtle. 

I haven't yet used it for massage, but I do use it almost every night as an afterbath body oil. I love how it cools my entire body. In this feverish weather called El Niño, this body oil is heaven-sent. Since I stay in a house not my own, I don't want to use up their electricity by turning on the airconditioner. A spritz on the neck and name, elbowpits, kneepits, torso and back, and I sleep in peace.

Will it actually work its anti-wrinkle and anti-cellulite powers? That remains to be seen. I bought it not because of the claim, but because of the scent, and at P180, this massage oil is, indeed, a darned good thing!
