Feature: Locally and Merci Buco Juice Drinks

      I'm a juice and tea person. I don't drink soda that's why when we dine out, my default order would always be iced tea or fruit juice. I also have a stock of my favorite teas and juices at home that I enjoy drinking during meal times. I've tried all the flavors available on the market but haven't explored on our 'own' flavors.

      When I say 'own', those are the local fruit flavors that can be found here in our country. Some flavors are hard to find before because you can only get them where they are produced but now a brand called Locally brought the best of Philippine flavors here in the metro. Know more about Locally and the exciting flavors they have in every can and bottle!

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Molito, Alabang Now Open

     It's time to sweeten up the holidays as Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory opens their second branch in the south. Experience pure joy inside the cozy factory themed store and delight your senses with the chocolate-filled window display. I was literally in chocolate heaven last November 28, 2017, when I attended their grand opening.

     I don't have any idea about Rocky Mountain when I got the invite that's why I was so surprised to see the shop's display of unique chocolate treats like hand-dipped caramel apples, freshly dipped bananas and cheesecakes, and larger-than-life-chocolates.

Feature: Cecon Vitamin C + Cecon Supermoms Event

     It's not easy to be a mom but it's the most rewarding job that a woman can have and be proud of. Imaging the household chores and other tasks to look after the welfare of the family. Tiring, exhausting, but at the end of the day it's fulfilling. As a stay-at-home mom where I do a lot of chores all day, every day, I've learned how to be strong physically and emotionally but there were times that all my "pagod" is taking its toll on me.

     Even a supermom is getting tired after a long day of work that's why it is important for us moms to learn how to take a break, relax, and pamper ourselves once in a while. Weeks ago, I was invited to an intimate event for the moms who dedicate their lives to their family- The Cecon Supermoms event. I'll share the highlights of this inspiring event below :)

Feature: JBL Jr. Headphones

     Kids these days are so into gadgets. I presume that kids of this generation would love to receive a new iPad, mobile phone, game console, or accessories that they will use in the gadgets that they already have. We cannot blame technology if our kids will choose these over stuff toys and other playset but we can control the pros and cons a gadget brings.

     My son, Kenzo loves to watch YouTube videos. He's into race cars and musical instruments. He's into music as his dad while he also loves to play games like momma. On a long road trip, I know he needs a headphone that delivers remarkable sound so he can still enjoy the trip while watching videos or listening to music. Enter JBL Jr.- brightly colored wired and wireless lightweight headphones that let kids enjoy music, movies and more while providing the promise of safety and durability.

Penshoppe Anti-Bullying Campaign #IAmDifferent Launch

     I believe that we are unique, we are all different. Even identical twins can still be different emotionally that's why I support Penshoppe's latest campaign to raise awareness against bullying. According to the study, one is being bullied because he/she thinks and act differently. 

     I can still remember the time when one of my classmates was being bullied. He was teased and physically assaulted by other students from a higher level. It's a traumatic experience for the person being bullied and it will bring impact later on his life. Know more about the local retail brand's campaign on bullying and what you can do to help raise awareness in your own little way below.

Cole Haan 2017 Fall Collection at Ayala Malls The 30th

     What qualities do you look for or consider when buying a pair of shoes? For me, it's always comfort because I have a very, when I say very it's very, very, sensitive feet. I get blisters and corns easily that's why I always make sure to buy the style that will take me to many places, literally.

     I never thought that an expensive brand such as Cole Haan has designs that are fashionable yet comfortable to wear. Extraordinary comes to life when Cole Haan Philippines opened their 7th store at Ayala Malls The 30th and I'm one of the lucky guests who got the first dibs on the reveal of their 2017 Fall Collection. See photos and highlights of the store opening below :)

     The store follows the design of the brand’s stores in the United States. The neutral color palette that's traditional and modern best describes the 107-square meter space. It is well lit that's why I was able to take a nice photo to show the details of the shoes. The display includes men's and women's footwear, apparel, handbags and accessories.
