I was very happy to catch up with my highschool friends from Assumption, Lisa and Margie! They were our “Kapatiran” sisters in highschool. It was so nice to catch up with them and see them!! I invited them over to my favorite Persian place:
Previous entry: Authentic Persian Mediterranean Food October 4, 2010
Here is Lisa offering me her kebab sandwich which she calls ” Lisa’s Way.” She says this is the way she likes her persian food and she wanted me to try it so we ordered the components and she made it for me 
Components
She makes them into smaller sandwiches or you can make it also just one sandwich using one pita bread
chicken kebab piece and grilled tomato which she crushed a bit and shredded
tenderloin kebab ( Taka ) and onions
Then motabal sauce- Voila! YUMMY!!!
I introduced to them the french fries which I always order at Persian, it’s a good side dish, you can also put it inside your pita bread sandwiches
Margie arrived a bit later since she is a busy pre school teacher!! You could not imagine how these two shouted when they saw each other, since they have not seen each other in a long time too
Beef Shawarma of Margie
And Lisa even had a souvenir for us – 80’s songs including Mike Francis Thanks Lisa!
And Lisa’s delayed Christmas gift to Margie with their group photo, how nice

Lisa the Starbucks coffee lover, walked 4 stores away to get her Starbucks coffee!!

Heart2Heart recently posted a smoothie recipe.
Previous Entry: Smoothies April 3, 2011
My recipe is very simple and very yummy. Any flavor of Golden Spoon frozen yogurt, I use simply tart. Old Fashioned Vanilla would probably be a good base as well and then just make sure to add a fresh fruit. Like maybe Strawberry flavor would be good to add frozen strawberries. Until this day, I have one every day as my dinner. That is my meal already for dinner.
Lucille on the other hand who is a cook and an expert homemaker has her own recipe too which I asked her to share with us. These are her exact words which I thought was so funny and cute so I kept it as is. She uses fresh Holly’s yogurt for her smoothie

After our lunch at 2nd’s ( Previous entry: 2nd’s June 8, 2011 ) and after talking about all our “finds,” we rushed to Lush which is a short walk from 2nd’s at Bonifacio High street. We are all Rustan’s loyalists even if we do not work there anymore. Only Luzanne is left still working in Rustan’s. But we always still shop at Rustan’s and LOVE RUSTAN’s!:-)
I was happy to know about the products at Lush because sometimes I just enter because of the smell and everything looks nice, but I just don’t know what to buy. Now my girlfriends showed us their favorites which are tried and tested:-)
Sultana seemed to be a favorite of many. Lucille said that you can even use it as a car or drawer freshener. Lush has all these really nice smelling scents. We even tried washing our hands with this soap and the after smell was so good
Karma is also a recommended body soap by Des and Luzanne
This is the hair wash Luzanne recommended. Very effective for temporary hair loss
Det said to make sure to buy the tin can to put the soap so that it will last for 100 washes!
Det said that any of these massage bars are good!
Lush made a killing that day from our shopping! Love the paper bag! Til our next shopping adventure!

Gorilla Perfume was formed to showcase the perfumery of Mark (co-founder of Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics) and Simon Constantine (head buyer for Lush and also perfumer). This father and son team, known for their exquisite perfumes, wanted to remind customers how special their fragrances are, and how perfumes are a form of self-expression. Their blends are often deeply influenced by emotions and music. These perfumes are an antidote to boring mass-market scents and a movement to get people excited about good quality fragrances.
To ignite the revolution, Mark and Simon knew that they had to choose a name that would generate excitement. Taking inspiration from the title of an interview article, they played with the name “The Guerrilla Perfumers.” However, the youngest son of Mark commented that his father was a guerilla perfumer, but his brother Simon was just a gorilla. The father and son wanted a play with the words and with Gorilla Perfume, they knew they found the name they were looking for.
The limited edition Gorilla Perfume collection includes Tuca Tuca, Karma, Imogen, Rose, Lust, Orange Blossom, Smell of Freedom, Breath of God, and Vanillary.
Tuca Tuca
The fabulous and catchy Italian song & dance number of the same name inspired the fragrance when the Lush founders visited
Karma
A Lush classic that is retro yet ageless. At first sniff, it has the power to transport you to the era of Bib Boutique, glam rock, and the age of freedom. Hip and hippy-at-heart spend the day feeling like it is a summer afternoon in the 70s with this powerful, spicy and unique blend of patchouli and citrus. This exotic blend has an ever deepening, calming fragrance, which changes as you wear it.
Imogen Rose
Inspired by Simon’s baby daughter and his love for roses, he created this beautiful, romantic, one-of-a-kind perfume using 100% pure rose oil and garden fresh notes of basil. This fresh and floral perfume opens with a whiff of fresh roses straight from the field. Unlike the typical granny rose perfumes, Imogen Rose is a soft, exquisite Damascus rose perfume that moves quickly into baby soft talc. It produces a warm embracing middle note with tonka and rose absolute. Providing a warm floral finish, the dry down is a scent of sweet amber with vetivert, orris and ambrette seed.
Lust
Unashamedly carnal and sexy, this pure jasmine fragrance is extremely provocative, sensual and erotic. Let lady luck be on your side with this fragrance during your nights out. Finally taking the opportunity to create an all-pure jasmine fragrance, Lust is definitely strongly sexy and exotic. The full bloom of the jasmine flower is accentuated by rich florals and a soft, woody base. To help relieve any inhibitions the perfumes makes use of jasmine, ylang ylang and sandalwood aphrodisiacs. Let lust fill the air for those seductive evenings.
Orange Blossom
To evoke the Mediterranean’s uplifting scent of fresh harvest orange blossoms, this perfume was made to focus and emphasize on this simple ingredient. It starts with a fresh floral orange, neroli and bergamot blend for a fresh blast of the orange groves. As it develops, a sweet honey note emerges mixing ylang ylang and orange flower absolute. Over time, the honeyed and woody tones develop on your skin and you are left with a warm glow. The warm honey and orange fragrance stays to the skin with beeswax absolute and should last most of the day. It’s just absolutely perfect!
This fragrance is inspired by three inspirational people Simon met on his travels around the world. Each of them had stories of freedom through struggle, strength, hope and unwavering determination. It opens with a spicy mix of clove, ginger, jasmine and black pepper. The fragrance then moves into a more citrusy accord of lemon myrtle and lemongrass. It then leads to a warm middle note whiff consisting of fire tree oil and Australian sandalwood. Finally, a sophisticated dry down to sandalwood, orris and heavy Middle Eastern oils such as oudh and frankincense.
Breath of God
After an inspiring trip to Tibet, Breath of God was created. This fragrance is perfect for a person who likes to think throughout the day. Intensely medicinal, it is an inspiring reminder of the fresh clean air of the mountains (lemon, neroli and rose). Although the melon notes should be at odds with the smoky dry-down, it instead adds a transparent quality creating a wonderful olfactory experience. This refreshing scents will remind individuals of life when it was much simpler.
Vanillary
This Lush classic perfume is akin to a grown-up gourmand. Vanilla is such a calming and familiar scent, which can instill feelings of comfort, self-confidence and evoke a sense of inner peace. In this delicious perfume, the sweet and sensual real vanilla and jasmine absolutes are supported by the burnt caramel-like scent of tonka beans. Calming and familiar, this scent slowly warms and develops on the skin and can instill feelings of inner confidence.

I am so happy that our get together is more regular now and we are more up to date on each other’s lives. Lucille, who is like the mother of the group just arrived and planned it. The last time was at IMCKavino
Previous Entry: IMCKavino February 26, 2011
I have been hearing about this place and good thing the girls chose it. It used to be the former Magnet Cafe and it is right across Cav at Bonifacio Highstreet
WE WERE COMPLETE!!! And you can see the waiter’s reflection on the glass taking our picture
Our two very strong girlfriends – Luzanne and Des. I really admire them for their courage and strength in their fight against cancer. It’s interesting to get first hand real life experiences from them and seeing how each of them is coping in different ways. Like for example, Luzanne chooses to use a wig and Des prefers to use a bandana. And despite what they are going through, they can still be very open about it and laugh with us about it. I am so happy that they make us part of their lives because we want to support them and let them know that we are behind them and love them
Compliments kamote chips
Bacon Chicharon!!!
The Safe Burger
Today’s Special Salad – Smoked Salmon Salad Waldorf
Truffled Three Cheese Mac
Beef Rib adobo

Ever since I introduced Clipa to Lucille, she told me she bought so many already in Rustan’s. I heard that they have sold thousands of this bag accessory already!!
Previous entry: Clipa December 14, 2009
I liked it because it was pink
apparently it is a special color and proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation
and Lucille was raving about Holly’s fresh yoghurt and of course I do not doubt this recommendation because anything Holly’s is good and FRESH!
Previous Entry: Holly’s Really Farm Fresh Dairy Products Feb 4, 2009
Luzanne’s recommendation-Lush New Hair Shampoo bar. She said it really works!!!
Des’ Recommendation – Sultana Soap from Lush
