More Than a Spa Day: How Wellness Became a Way of Life for BlueWater Day Spa’s Celebrity Endorsers

6/24/2026 11:24:00 PM



There are days when life feels like one long race.

Deadlines pile up. Meetings overlap. Notifications never seem to stop. For celebrities, content creators, and public personalities, the pace can be even more demanding. Long shooting hours, business commitments, travel schedules, and public appearances often leave little room for rest.

That is why wellness has become more than just a luxury. For many, it has become a necessity.

This was one of the strongest messages that emerged during BlueWater Day Spa’s recent “Summer Unwind” event held at its Eton Greenhills branch. While the afternoon was filled with laughter, games, and relaxation, it also became a meaningful conversation about how wellness plays an important role in the lives of some of the brand’s celebrity endorsers.

Present during the gathering were David Licauco, Janeena Chan, Fabio Ide, Ellen Frojd, and Teejay Marquez—personalities who may come from different backgrounds and careers but share one common belief: taking care of yourself is just as important as chasing success.


A Place to Pause

For more than two decades, BlueWater Day Spa has built its reputation as a sanctuary for people seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being.

Known for its relaxing atmosphere, excellent service, and wide range of wellness treatments, the spa has become a go-to destination for many Filipinos looking for a much-needed pause from the demands of daily life.

During the event, BlueWater Day Spa President and CEO Mary Simisim shared that wellness should not be viewed as an occasional reward but as an essential part of everyday living.

 

It is a reminder that many of us often forget.

We spend so much time taking care of responsibilities, careers, and other people that we sometimes neglect ourselves.

The celebrity endorsers who shared their stories during the event proved that wellness is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Each person has a different approach, a different challenge, and a different reason for making self-care a priority.
 

David Licauco: Staying Grounded Amid Success

Actor and entrepreneur David Licauco has experienced tremendous growth in recent years.

From television projects to business ventures, his schedule has become increasingly busy. Yet despite the attention and success that continue to come his way, David remains grounded.

As a longtime BlueWater Day Spa endorser, he reflected on a partnership that has grown alongside his career.


 
For David, wellness is not simply about looking good. It is about maintaining balance.

Success can be exciting, but it can also be exhausting. Taking care of one's physical and mental well-being helps ensure that achievements do not come at the expense of health and happiness.

During the event, David emphasized that taking care of oneself is just as important as reaching professional milestones.

It is a perspective many people can relate to. After all, what is the value of success if you no longer have the energy to enjoy it?

 

Janeena Chan: Finding a Brand That Reflects Her Values

One of the highlights of the event was the official introduction of singer, host, and content creator Janeena Chan as the newest member of the BlueWater Day Spa family.

Janeena expressed her excitement about joining a brand whose values align closely with her own advocacy for wellness and positive living.

In today's digital world, content creators are constantly connected. The pressure to remain active, creative, and visible can sometimes become overwhelming.

For Janeena, wellness serves as an anchor.

It is a conscious decision to make time for herself amid a busy schedule and to maintain a positive outlook despite life's challenges.

Her partnership with BlueWater Day Spa reflects a growing movement among younger professionals who understand that productivity and self-care should go hand in hand.



 

Fabio Ide and Ellen Frojd: Turning Wellness Into Family Time

Among the most heartwarming stories shared during the event came from celebrity couple Fabio Ide and Ellen Frojd.

For them, wellness is not only a personal practice—it is something they intentionally pass on to their children.

Listening to the couple talk about wellness felt less like a celebrity interview and more like a conversation about family values.

They revealed how wellness experiences often become opportunities for meaningful family bonding. Whether it is spending quality time together, encouraging healthy habits, or simply teaching their children the importance of balance, wellness has become part of their family culture.

What stood out most was the idea that self-care does not always have to be a solitary activity.

For many parents, wellness often takes a back seat while caring for their children. Fabio and Ellen's approach offers a refreshing perspective: wellness can be shared.

It can be a family activity.

It can be a way to create memories.

And perhaps most importantly, it can teach children at an early age that taking care of themselves is something worth prioritizing.

In a world where screens often dominate family time, their wellness journey serves as a reminder that genuine connection remains one of the healthiest investments a family can make.

Teejay Marquez: Recharging for the Next Adventure

For actor and content creator Teejay Marquez, life often involves airports, flights, and projects in different countries.

While many people dream of a lifestyle filled with travel, frequent movement can take a toll on both the body and mind.

 

Teejay shared that maintaining physical and mental wellness has become essential in helping him keep up with his fast-paced lifestyle.

Travel may bring opportunities, but it can also bring fatigue, stress, and burnout.

That is why finding time to recharge has become a priority.

Whether preparing for a project or recovering after one, Teejay understands that rest is not a sign of weakness—it is part of staying productive.

His wellness journey highlights an important lesson for anyone constantly on the go: slowing down occasionally allows you to move forward more effectively.

Wellness Beyond the Treatment Room

The afternoon was not all serious conversations.

Members of the media and celebrity endorsers also participated in interactive games that brought plenty of laughter and friendly competition.

The activities offered a glimpse of the personalities behind the public image. It was a reminder that wellness is not only about massages or treatments. Sometimes, it is also about joy, connection, and moments that make us smile.

Guests also learned more about some of BlueWater Day Spa's most popular offerings, including the signature Chiang Mai Massage, the restorative Thai Yoga Massage, and the advanced 5D Laser Treatment.


 

But beyond the services, the bigger takeaway from the event was simple.

Wellness is personal.

For David, it is staying grounded despite success.

For Janeena, it is living a positive and balanced life.

For Fabio and Ellen, it is creating healthy habits as a family.

For Teejay, it is finding time to recharge amid a demanding schedule.

Different stories. Different journeys. One common goal.

To live healthier, happier, and more balanced lives.



 

The Real Luxury

As the event came to a close with a special mug-signing activity featuring the celebrity endorsers, one message lingered in the minds of those present.

The real luxury today is not necessarily having more.

It is having time to breathe.

Time to rest.

Time to reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.

In a world that constantly tells us to keep moving, BlueWater Day Spa's "Summer Unwind" gathering served as a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do is pause.

Because wellness is not just about escaping stress.

It is about building a life where health, balance, and happiness become part of the everyday journey.

Convenience is another key factor. Located within Metro Manila, Alami proves that luxury relaxation does not require long travel.

8/08/2019 06:30:00 AM

Feel like a queen and be like a queen, Bb. Pilipinas Universe Gazini Ganados is the newest face of Bluewater Day Spa. After winning the Bb. Pilipinas, reigning as a beauty queen stresses that much, there's a lot of hard work that comes with the title. It is not just all beauty and pageantry but also preparations on the physical and mental aspect. A holistic wellness no matter the circumstances thrown like comparison among peers, pressure from the public to always look gorgeous when ever and where ever, basically a beauty queen 24/7.


With this kind of stress what are Gazini Gandos ways in facing and easing stress?

1. One of which is her way of facing it with her good attitude and positive mindset. It is indeed the right perspective that makes it easier to face stress. 

2. Of course, after winning the Bb. Pilipinas title, Gazini needs to have healthy eating paired with regular exercise. With this it lifts off your mind from stress.

3. A time for her loved ones. Of course having a time to mingle and converse with your loved ones ease the tension brought by too much work. She made sure to have a schedule. 

4. Another part of this wellness thing is for Gazini to have a 'me' time and that's of course through her favorite spa, BlueWater Day Spa.

Making time to indulge in wellness and pampering treats like the Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Traditional Filipino Massage to detox and soothe her tired muscles form a full week of engagements is something she looks forward to.

To give you a bit of info about the Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage, it is a favorite among celebrities and models like Gazini who, aside from leaving feeling refreshed, are also able to detox through such treatment. This is a relaxing method to keep her from getting bloated or feeling lethargic with the regular release of toxins.

While the Traditional Filipino Massage or Hilot is great for easing muscle tension especially when you're like Gazini who works out a lot, constantly moves around, and like a Queen, is always wearing heels. This treatment is a much deserved treat after another long week.


More than just taking care of her looks, beauty queens like Gazini also put a high importance on wellness to always be at their best in fulfilling their queenly duties.

Thanks to BlueWater Day Spa, Gazini, as well as so many others are able to enjoy such treatments as they aim to give themselves the best care as they work on being their best selves. Because beauty is not only what's visible from the outside, it also comes from within us.

The Comida Ilocandia & Spaoay Experience

10/02/2012 12:04:00 AM
The places in the north have something people in the will surely love. Not only the beautiful scenic spot but quite the culture as well.

Been in the north once but it was the far north and I just got the glimpse of the Ilocos region, the Ilocandia. Though it was just a few minutes stay I was able to enhale the scent of the place. The authentic Iloco breeze. It was great but I'm hoping something more. Just don't know yet when will I be able to go back and have that long experience in the heart of the Ilocandia region.

Ilocano style of pancit.
