Dhalton Home Showroom Launch

     We all have a dream house and we want to make sure that the furniture we invest are timeless pieces that will last a lifetime. Before, investing in luxury furniture and other home accessories can be tricky. You have to carefully select a furniture gallery that will meet your expectations and demands. There are few names in the world of luxury furniture industry and one of the recent addition is the opening of Dhalton Home.

     In Metro Manila, one stand out exception is Dhalton Home, a European-inflected furniture gallery featuring a consolidation of classic and modern designs. The gallery is located in the exclusive old-rich borough of New Manila in Quezon City, a thirty-minute to an hour drive if you’re coming from the south. Now regaining its reign as the most coveted neighborhood in Quezon City with all the sprawling houses and glamorous lifestyle, New Manila perfectly calls Dhalton Home as one of its own. Situated right within the award-winning Robinsons Magnolia complex, it is far from the dross traffic and congestion. But the gallery more than repays the effort of getting here.

     Dhalton Home showcases superbly crafted furniture pieces, service that is slightly formal and unfailingly gracious, calm and light ambience, and a complimentary consultation service for all its clients. Entering the gallery, you will be welcomed by a doorman, classical music, and seating areas to lounge on. The hues are light sea foam greens, golds, and browns, and the textures are dainty yet regal: exquisite tiles, iron, and light textiles. The interiors are fretted with greens and French doors, and at first sight the gallery calls forth associations that are all sentimental – a lovely Europeanmanor or a garden chateau in a bright sunny season.

     This concept is the vision of its creative director, Geoffrey Chua, whose goal is to make Dhalton Home a world of its own. As an interior designer himself who have worked with numerous A-class clients, he knows how a home can make one feel imperial. So from its brand products to service style, all are designed and planned out to bring a pleasurable furniture buying experience for its patrons. As he did in the overall conceptualization of the gallery, Chua set off on a quest to look for the right designers and manufacturers that would meet the outstanding standards he wants to offer.

     Most of the key pieces are sourced in Denmark where it is carefully designed and set for manufacturing. But what really put its roster of products exceptionally on top are its meticulous details, above quality raw materials and tedious quality-control process. Dhalton puts great value in precision, thus most items are manufactured using top-of-the-line technology and specialized machinery which in turn minimize error and produce superior quality that is evident to the eye. While Dhalton Home also carries products handcrafted locally or in other Asian regions, it follows the same manufacturing standards to stay true to its brand promise of offering only the best to its clients.

     Each Dhalton Home piece is a modern rendition of European charm and classic design aesthetics. The pieces will remind you of those royal manors and luxury estates with dedicated butlers minus the dark hues and bulky furniture. Instead, Dhalton Home pieces are rendered to seamlessly blend with the modern go-go lifestyle of today’s urban dwellers while highlighting their adoration for fine things and sophistication.

     Dhalton Home summarizes that quintessential aspiration of many when it comes to luxury home designing: that is to make every home brilliantly cut-out not just for comfort and style, but to conclude the very persona of its sophisticated, cultured dweller.

• Dhalton Home is far from your regular home store. As a “Furniture Gallery”, all pieces in their store are carefully designed and curated according to the ideals of the brand which stands for modern luxury and elegance. Their pieces are not just products. They are a designer’s sentimental idea, a well-refined craftsmanship, and a masterfully-made creation. 
• Most of the sofas and cabinets are manufactured in Denmark and other parts of Europe, and coordinated with their single supplier in Canada. Items such as the jars and vases are kilned and hand painted in Shanghai. They also have items that are made here locally. Whether they are made in Denmark, China or Philippines, all pieces undergo a rigorous inspection process before it is brought to us. 
• To maintain its precision and consistency, all furniture pieces are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and specialized machinery which assure an almost zero error rate. Their matchless lacquer finish for instance is an output of an infrared lacquer booth that adds a defined mirror-like finish to all lacquered products. 
• The raw materials of their products are also carefully chosen to come up with the most high-quality pieces that don’t brittle with age. In some accessories, we use Paulownia wood which is resistant to fire, decay and rotting. It is also known for its very light weight and durability. 
• To assist its client in choosing furniture and arranging the total look of their space, Dhalton Home is offering free interior design consultation exclusive to its clients. Customization is limited only to key products. Clients are free to choose from designated fabric swatches or paint color accurately set and provided by the designer himself..

     Thank you so much Dhalton Home for having me. It's an honor to be part of the blessing and launching of your first luxury furniture showroom in Robinson's Magnolia. To all my readers out there, investing in fine furniture can be easy as 1,2,3 with the help of Mr. Chua's team and Dhalton Home.

PLDT HOME Presents The Regine Series Landline

     Yes I know mobile phones are the in thing nowadays but nothing beats a classic landline unit at home. Communication is important and sometimes mobile phones can't deliver what a landline phone can give. There are times that a mobile phone’s signal may interrupt a good communication. In line with this, the number one telecommunications provider in the Philippines PLDT made Ms. Regine Velasquez their brand ambassador for PLDT HOME's Regine Series Campaign.

Boasting of a talented lineup of performers, The Regine Series Mall Tour is an event no one should miss out on. During the event, they also had a mini game of fill in the blanks of Regine's song lyrics. The crowd gamely answered all the questions. Truly, Regine Velasquez songs are always an LSS in our ears!

Product Review: Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner

     Hi mommies! Sharing with you this short review of my son's favorite shampoo. He's been using this brand for four (4) years now. He started using Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner when he was two years old. We've discovered this brand when a family friend gifted him a bottle of this oh so good hair care product from Suave on his 2nd birthday. Anyhoo, I thought I will not like Suave at first because the wild watermelon scent is too strong for my liking. I have sensitive nose so during bath time the wild watermelon scent lingers and I find the scent off. I will cover my nose and will be relieved after bath. 

     But as days passed by, I became a fan of the wild watermelon scent. I'm also surprised that our first bottle of Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner lasted for more than six (6) months. So when we finished our first bottle, we bought other scents like strawberry, orange mango, coconut, cherry, and peach. We just alternate the variants every time we finish one bottle. To know more why I highly recommend this brand of shampoo and conditioner, scroll down please :)

Product Review: Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner
Coconut Variant

     Suave Kids® Coconut Smoothers 2-in-1 Shampoo gently combines shampoo and conditioner in one sure and speedy step. Its creamy formula, made with gentle conditioners reduces split ends and leaves hair feeling extra soft.

Product Review: Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner
Kenzo's hair. It's already long. His last hair cut was March and his current hair style is undercut hence looks so uneven on both sides. We'll bid goodbye to this hair style a week from now.

What I like:

• The packaging is cute because there are different cartoon characters/animals printed on the bottle. The bottle is also colorful and easy to grip.
• The price- it's super affordable. This 355 ml bottle lasts up to five (5) months with everyday use!
• It's a 2-in-1 product. No need to buy a separate shampoo and conditioner.
• The scent is divine! Sweet coconut scent lingers the whole day!
• It's easy to use. 
• It's tear-free too!
• The texture is creamy and semi-thick.
• A little amount goes a long way.
• Makes my son's hair is soft and smooth to touch.
• It looks shiny and silky too.
• I literally don't need to comb my son's hair after taking a bath.
• His hair is easy to comb, no tangles at all.
• Gives a bit of volume on my son's thin and limp hair.
• Doesn't make my son's hair oily nor greasy after playing whole day. 
• Even if his hair got wet because of sweat after playing, the smell of coconut is still there. No acidic smell from the sweat.
• There's a batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the bottle.

What I don't like:

• There are times that coconut variant is not available here in our area.

Will I repurchase? Yes! This is my son's HG (Holy Grail) shampoo. This is Kenzo's favorite shampoo and conditioner for four (4) years now!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. I love that this product because it makes my son's hair smooth and manageable. We really love the scent of Suave 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. It's easy to use and I don't worry that my son's delicate hair will experience negative effects. This brand is already a staple in Kenzo's hair care essentials! This brand is budget-friendly for mommies who have tight budget. I highly recommend Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner. Our all time favorite scent is strawberry, coconut, and cherry :)

What's your kid's favorite shampoo brand? Share your thoughts mommies :)

Good Times!~
