Christmas 2018

Making reunions REAL again

Wednesday, December 26, 2018

     Filipinos are all about family. The mandatory family reunion happens not just once or twice a year, but every chance possible. From Birthdays to graduations all the way to the grand Christmas reunion, family gatherings are always filled with food, catching up, and loads of wholesome family fun. 

     Lately, we’ve seen many changes in traditional family dynamics — from a simple meal to dance numbers by the grandkids. Families are reaching out to friends and relatives abroad through technology. While technology can be used to connect people, it can also become a wall between family members.

Cheese Platter Game On with Danes Cheese Ball

Monday, December 24, 2018

     What's one family Christmas tradition that you're excited every year? I bet it's preparing the food you will eat on Christmas Eve. Families all over the world gather to spend the holidays together because there’s nothing like the warmth of home. While no holiday celebration would be complete without family reunions, this is the best time to introduce new and fun traditions to make this holiday season even more memorable than last year’s.

     It’s a tradition that we serve spaghetti and salad on Noche Buena but this year, I’ve decided to make a little twist- instead of preparing pasta and salad, I told my mama to make a small cheese platter for the kids and adults to indulge during and after Noche Buena.

Jergens Holiday Glow Kit

Friday, December 14, 2018

     The cold air that I felt this morning is my sign that Christmas is near. This cool breeze also reminds me that it's time to upgrade my skincare essentials with more moisturizing products to prevent dryness. I have combination skin but cold weather tends to suck out all the moisture in my skin making my legs and arms flaky and itchy.

      Looks like Santa heard my wish of sporting a glowing skin this season. Jergens sent me a holiday kit that will take care of the dryness and give my skin all the moisture that it needs. It will be a pampering kind of holiday because they also include a satin rob and jade roller, yay! Want to have a glowing skin this holiday season? Check out the tips I listed below :)

     I had a conversation with my husband last week on what to prepare for the holidays. I told him that I wanted something special and not the usual 'handa' because I want to celebrate Christmas up a notch with premium food items on the dining table.

     When I say premium, these are the products or deli items that you will not see in a regular grocery or supermarket. The ingredients in making special dishes need imported or hard to find brands that are usually available in premium stores like The Marketplace by Rustan's. But when I think of the holiday rush, all I wanna do is stay at home and order my groceries from honestbee. Do you want to shop for premium grocery items in the comfort of your home? It's possible now that honestbee recently partnered with The Marketplace by Rustans. Check out the premium brands you can score after the jump :)

Hallmark for L.I.F.E. this Christmas

Wednesday, December 12, 2018

     Hallmark has been part of spreading the most precious messages of love and cheer in every celebration- may it be a birthday, an anniversary, or a wedding. I'm a fan of their well-loved cards that have connected and brought smiles throughout people all over the world and this year’s holiday season is no exception.

     Can't imagine that it has been 23 years, over two decades that Filstar Distributors Corporation (FDC), the country’s exclusive licensee of Hallmark USA together with the Leukemic Indigents Fund Endowment (L.I.F.E.) Foundation created a charitable project called “Hallmark for L.I.F.E.” to help alleviate the condition of indigent children with Leukemia. Sharing a brief story of this advocacy below :)
