CAVIAR AND DIAMONDS RESTORE SKIN’S LOST LUSTER
SKIN CAVIAR CRYSTALLINE CONCENTRE RE-IGNITES TIME-DIMMED DAZZLE
Caviar. Diamonds. These two unassailable symbols of luxury come together in Skin Caviar Crystalline Concentre to help restore that firm, luminous, youthful complexion you thought was gone forever. Extravagant not only in conception and contents, this shimmering, nutrient-rich serum is just as extravagant in what it does to your skin, retarding the aging process and helping to reverse its damage. Your skin will literally reawaken with a glamorous glow.
La Prairie soars to new heights of luxury skincare by addressing the challenge of aging skin both aesthetically and structurally with a remarkable treatment product that helps to re-firm the skin’s elasticity, re-ignite its luminosity, refine its texture, re-plump fine lines and wrinkles and replenish moisture.
NOURISHING POWERS OF CAVIAR AT HEART OF RESTORATIVE FORMULA
Unprecedented concentrations of Caviar Extract and La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex combine with high-performing peptides, an amino acid, stabilized vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids and natural plant extracts to produce a profound smoothing effect on the skin. They enable Skin Caviar Crystalline Concentre to help recover the skin’s youthful firmness, uniformity and elasticity that have been diminished over time.
THE RE-ILLUMINATING DAZZLE OF DIAMONDS
The most immediate action of Skin Caviar Crystalline Concentre is the dazzling glow that comes with the first application. This amazing metamorphosis is brought about by a rare combination of Diamond, Mica and Quartz Crystals, which reflect and scatter the light to illuminate and brighten the skin, dramatically altering its appearance.
This action is enhanced by skin-lightening agents, such as Scotch Pine Extract and stabilized Vitamin C, which help reduce pigmentation by inhibiting the formation of melanin and preventing melanosomes from maturing, as well as soothing the skin.
Hyper-nourishing Skin Caviar Crystalline Concentre serum is designed to be used before applying La Prairie treatments, such as Extrait of Skin Caviar Firming Complex or Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, to re-firm, re-ignite, refine and re-plump your skin and restore the beauty dimmed by the passage of time.
La Prairie is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza Rustan’s Cebu

My good friend, Lilli Ann, fixed up her apartment in Rockwell. She showed it to us before turning it over to her client. She is not an interior designer but she amazed us all by furnishing and fixing it up herself and then she was able to rent it out for a very good price. Her apartment has a very nice view of the Fort, Manila Gold, Makati Skyline, Bel Air, Rockwell Compound and the Pasig River.

Entrance and hallway to her apartment
Lils told us she set up the dining table and the client said he wanted it to come with the whole set up 🙂
Lils made sure I took a photo of her chandelier which had mock candles 🙂
The client specified a flat screen TV 🙂

We always look forward to Sunday lunch at Gerry and Tina’s especially when it is burgers and hotdogs
Tina even has an assistant taking the temperature of the burgers
Hotdogs
Chili and the other condiments for the hotdog
Condiments for the burgers
Some of our creations…we like it because we get to make our own burger and put the garnishes that we want
Tina’s homemade ice cream, cinnamon and vanilla to go with the apple pie baked by her cousin
And look who joined us for lunch- Paloma the Chihuahua ( Paloma The Chihuahua March 22, 2009 ) with her new sister, Sparkle
This is the collection of sleep masks my husband, James, has accumulated from all the different airlines. Well, all of these are now just set aside in the closet because he has found something better than all these…
He saw a sleep mask which I got from Rustan’s and it had cats embroidered on them…he tried them and loved them….he did not mind that it was feminine…anyway no one sees him when he is asleep 🙂
So he asked me to buy him more in Rustan’s Essenses ( Essenses May 2, 2009 ) where I got them…he told me to keep stock so I had to buy four pieces to make sure he will always have one…I also got one for myself and got used to wearing sleep masks while sleeping…I noticed that I sleep better with the mask on 🙂
Another one of Mom’s seaside meals. She has everything matching from the napkin rings, to the dinnerware and to the tablecloth. We had crab and mantis fresh from seaside!
Wow!! Yummy sidings for the crab. My favorite was the taba ng talangka! Mom said to make sure it is from Milky Way…THE BEST!
I went to peep at the kitchen and I saw the mantis before it was cooked
And to go with the seafood, Mom prepared Mongolian Barbeque
Everyone has their own mixture
Mom is lucky to have a great cook to assist her in all her meals- Manang Flor! Here she is cooking the mongolian mixture of everyone
