The Mind Museum’s Dinosaurs Around the World

     Kenzo is fond of dinosaurs. He likes watching YouTube videos of dinosaurs and their history. It's nice to know he's interested in science and how these creatures had lived their life on earth.Millions of years ago, dinosaurs were seemingly larger-than-life creatures that roamed the Earth before our early relatives ever did.

     Fast-forward to our present day world, and people are still entranced by dinosaurs and their domination over the Mesozoic landscape. They have even infiltrated pop culture references as they continue to fascinate with their immensity – both in size, and in their diversity. Do you want to travel back in time to the prehistoric age? Let your children discover what life on earth is all about that time- it's time to go on a journey to the world of Dinosaurs! More of Dinosaurs Around the World – Passport to Pangea 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.
