LUSH CLEANS UP AT CHRISTMAS! 

There’s no place like Lush for stocking up on Christmas goodies for family, friends, loved ones and yourself!  This year, there’s a whole shop full of individual treats and stocking fillers, along with luxury gift options, that are freshly handmade and contain environmental and animal friendly products.

And not only that, but the majority of our little festive gems are solid and sold unpackaged.  This means there’s no need for preservatives or packaging, which helps to clean up the planet as well as the lucky recipient of these products!

BALLISTICS

Lush’s classic invention, which fizz around the bath emitting the finest ingredients and essential oils at the peak of their potency.  Each one of these festive fizzers is formulated to help you through the season and emerge virtually unscathed.

 

NEW!

Snowdrops (Php275) …a refreshing, invigorating bath ballistic with essential oils of mandarin, grapefruit and peppermint.  If the festive rounds of parties have taken it’s toll, then this can help.  Peppermint is a stimulating decongestant and good for fighting mental fatigue.  It also helps to soften the skin and soothe aching feet and headaches.  Mandarin works to banish depression and perfect for people feeling a little fragile!  There’s also a dash of grapefruit to uplift and revive tired souls.  It soothes the body and good for eliminating toxins.  Topped with sugar crystals and iridescent glitter, it’s like bathing in an invigorating glacial pool.

Twinkle (Php275) … newly star shaped and aquamarine in colour, with a trail of gold stars trailing across it, Twinkle shimmers and sparkles across the bath.  Made with vanilla absolute, clary sage, lavender oil and benzoin, it’s wonderfully calming, soothing and yet stimulating.  It helps clear the mind and leaves you twinkling like a festive fairy.

LUSH CLASSICS

Christmas Party (Php275) …Cognac is the tipple of choice in this festively fizzing treat that will get you tipsy with good cheer.  Orange oil shares its sweet and uplifting benefits if you’re feeling a little low and it’s also a good skin regenerator.   Stars, glitter and coloured confetti are the decorations that make bath time go with a swing as you drop it into a bath of warm running water and fizzle back to the top of your game.

Jingle Spells (Php275) … you’ll be jingling all the way through the season, as this magical little purple star-topped fizzing ballistic works better than an alka seltzer delivering the best antidote to any and every excess.   The essential oil blend of fennel (a great treatment for hangovers) and tangerine is an excellent detoxifier and all-round tonic and blood re-energiser, while juniperberry oil helps revive the mind.  Cast one into a warm bath and you’ll feel like a new person.

BUBBLE BARS

The solid alternative to bubble bath, choose one of Lush’s yuletide Bubble Bars that are made with fresh ingredients, highly effective moisturisers for the skin and the finest essential oils.  You’ll be left floating in a winter wonderland of fragrant bubbles!

LUSH CLASSICS

Christmas Kisses (Php245) … A fantastically festive bubble bar slice that looks like Santa’s hat.   It’s got a little cinnamon stick stuck through so you don’t get confused!   Made with clove leaf oil, patchouli oil, cinnamon leaf oil, lime oil and benzoin, Christmas Kisses is the ultimate hot toddy.  It’s healing, warming, uplifting and calming for the senses, as well as easing any tension or emotional stress. 

(Vegan)

 lush-christmas-kisses.jpg

Candy Cane (Php245) …This bubble gum sweet smelling classic is back again for this season – it’s making it’s usual appearance in white and pink stripes. There’s still the same abundance of bubbles for the fun-lovin’ girl and the same soothing, comforting blend of vanilla to leave the skin smooth, silky and gently fragranced.

(Vegan)

 candy-cane-bubble-bar.jpg

Ruby Red Slippers (Php345) …“There’s No Place Like Lush…”  A wonderful, vibrant red slice of Lush bubble nostalgia dipped in, what else, but bright red glitter.  Relax in calming rose oil, which has a soothing action on the skin and clears toxins from the body; tangerine that works to activate tired, aching limbs; and sweet, honey-like carnation is a good herbal tonic.

(Vegan)

SOAPS

The solid, more environmentally friendly alternative to shower gel – as there’s no need for plastic bottles, which end up in landfill.  All Lush soaps are now made with our new palm oil free soap base of rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and coconut oil.

 

NEW!

Christmas Cake Slice (Php295 for 100g) … a giant slab of Christmas cake that you can wash with, complete with marzipan and icing, this soap looks and smells delicious.  Containing incredibly softening almond oil that’s easily absorbed and non-greasy.  Almond oil is rich in vitamin A and E, so works to protect and nourish the skin.  Organic aloe vera extract soothes, while vertivert oil helps to replenish moisture in dry skin.  This is a great soap for keeping hands soft and supple throughout the cold, harsh winter months.  

(Vegan)

LUSH CLASSICS

Snowcake (Php275 for 100g) … a Lush classic and best seller, this fantastically creamy soap smells like the irresistible almond icing on the Christmas cake.  Lather up with gorgeous rose absolute, that soothes dry and stressed skin, and berry scented cassie absolute.   A slice of pure Christmas in a bar.

(Vegan)

lush-snowcake.jpg 

Angel’s Delight (Php275 for 100g) … Lush’s fruity seasonal soap, adorned with moons and stars and all that glitters - everything to delight angels and mere mortals.  Refreshing, cleansing and detoxifying orange oil, tangerine oil and gardenia stimulate the circulation and improve the condition of the skin.

Pepato

Pepato is one of my most favorite restaurants!  Most of the dishes being catered by Cibo are from the menu of Pepato.  YUMMY! I like the fact that you can order tasting portions of the pasta so you can have small portions and not have to eat the whole order.  Now that I am looking at my photos, i want to go back again!

Lemon Cafe

We had some time to meet up for lunch with our good friend Gil and soon to be bride Christine, who were in Boracay over the weekend.  It was so nice to see them.  We had lunch in Lemon Cafe which was also in the recommended list of Jigger and May. We had a light lunch since we knew we had another big event that evening.

Footsie’s Foot Spa

With all that partying and photo taking, the following day we went to D’Mall and as soon as we saw the word “SPA”, we just entered and had our foot spas and relaxed……. I was really tired from standing and going all around the place taking photos…this was the perfect remedy :-) dsc_2108.JPGdsc_2101.JPGdsc_2098.JPGdsc_2100.JPGdsc_2103.JPGfootsiesmenu.jpgdsc_2104.JPGfootsies-bag.jpg

Wedding of the “Century” Part 4 -David Morales

The night was not over yet, After the wedding reception was a party.

I was not able to take photos of the party but I took shots of the set up before the party since we tagged along with Jigger.  He is really on top of everything.  It is amazing how they converted Tides into the party venue.  

We bumped into the dancers that Jigger flew in all the way from Embassy, Manila. All dancers were all happy to see Jigger upon their arrival :-)

As everyone knows, I am not one to party late at night but I made sure I went to see the world famous David Morales perform.  It was a great party!  Even Tito Joey and Tita Hilda came over and danced with David on stage.   

We now call David, David Morales- Antonio.  He became so close to Jigger and his family and it was so nice how he expressed his love and appreciation to the family.   Not only was he the DJ who performed but he became family and a good friend to many…

Wedding of the “Century” Part 3 - Reception

It’s amazing how the series of events happened one after the other…all so well organized and so elegantly done.  Jigger covered every single detail of his wedding just as he would at work.   From the church was cocktails then the reception.  It was a difficult task for me since there were just so many details and beautiful moments to capture.  I could not stop and go all over the place.  Even the food, there was an abundance of choices.

 The reception did not end after eating dinner, the highlight for us was the program they had which showed the videos which were very unique.  Instead of the usual video about the couple, the couple prepared a beautiful video dedicated to their parents.  Then another video, Wedding by the Ocean’s, which was such a creative presentation.  After which were the speeches by friends and family which were truly touching and so emotional that we were in tears and I am sure the others too.  We could go on and on listening to all of them.

This wedding proves that what makes a beautiful wedding is not only the beautiful decor and the food, but the feeling you get and  the love that you feel between the couple and among all their friends and family.  The overall experience of a beautiful wedding and the emotions that it brought out…We will never forget this day.
