Mother's Day with a Touch of Class

Remember the days when our mothers gave us tummy rubs with camphorated oil to heal our stomach aches? Or the days when they used to rock and carry us while humming a sweet lullaby? When we felt sick, they’d touch our foreheads or necks to check if we had fever. They may actually still do these; same with how they love preparing our favorite dishes. In fact, we consider our mothers the best cooks. As they say, a “mother’s touch” makes us all feel better and they do it effortlessly.

THE BEGINNING OF MOTHER’S DAY

It’s needless to say how much our mothers have done for us; but for Anna Jarvis, her mother and each mother should be commemorated because of their undeniable contribution. Originally an American holiday actively campaigned by Jarvis, Mother’s day has been adopted by other countries as well. The holiday is usually celebrated on the second Sunday of May, in time for summer in the Philippines.

WHAT TO GIVE YOUR MOM ON HER SPECIAL DAY

Jarvis actually recommends a heart-felt, hand-written letter. But, to make her day more special, treating her to one of the best Tagaytay restaurants will surely make her or the whole family’s day. Yes, her cooking may be the best but booking lunch or dinner at QiWellness Living’s Tea House for her special day would surely be a celebration with a touch of class. The Tea House exudes an air of sophistication and class and stands out among other restaurants in Tagaytay, with its rich oriental interiors and serene ambiance.

Treat her to a Spring-themed degustation while taking in a great view of the Taal lake. Let her get inspired by the 9-course, seasonal Yin Yang menu featuring steak and salmon for only Php 2,250 (from an original rate of Php 3,168). Definitely book the soonest as the Tea House is very intimate and exclusive.

A special treat awaits for those who will avail of the degustation deal. A 20% discount will be given for those who would also avail of the 90-minute Qiharmony Dry Massage, a revitalizing massage that applies reflexology, acupressure, and tui-na techniques. Like her healing strokes, a massage in QiWellness Living’s Bath House, will surely relieve her of stress and give her an overall wellness improvement.

THE BOTTOMLINE

We can bring our mothers to the best restaurants in Tagaytay or the best spa places, but the best gift is our, our presence, and our time. Nowadays, it’s easy to be wrapped up in the busyness of life that we may tend to overlook people who consistenly give their 100%, like our mothers.

Have that “mom and I” pamper moment or have your siblings with you as well. A good meal and a relaxing massage, both by a great view, is definitely the top choice for a refined yet intimate celebration. Aside from celebrating with a touch of class, make this year’s Mother’s Day meaningful. Reminisce and indulge in conversations over the 9-course meal and recharge your body and mind side by side.
