Herr’s Factory Tour

By | Jaric Marketing Inc, Yummy! | No Comments

 We visited our happy place in Nottingham, Pennsylvania- the Herr’s factory. Everyone is invited to tour and see how they make the most delicious snacks in the planet.   You can taste fresh snacks straight from the factory!!

For 10 years now we have been in business with them – a family business like ours. The company is run by 2nd generation Herr family and most of the employees you will meet are all happy employees who have worked for the family for a long time. Kyle our tour guide told us that his parents work for Herr’s too and it’s because of that that he was able to go to college. “It’s a family atmosphere here” said another employee. We are happy we found a business where we love the products and the people behind it!  They have an Angus farm where all the rejects or overrun snacks are fed to the cows so nothing is wasted #Herrs#H2HHerrs #HerrsPh#H2HPennsylvania2017Herr's Factory Tour (2) Herr's Factory Tour (3) Herr's Factory Tour (4) Herr's Factory Tour (5) Herr's Factory Tour (6) Herr's Factory Tour (7) Herr's Factory Tour (8) Herr's Factory Tour (9) Herr's Factory Tour (10) Herr's Factory Tour (11) Herr's Factory Tour (12) Herr's Factory Tour (13) Herr's Factory Tour (14) Herr's Factory Tour (15) Herr's Factory Tour (16) Herr's Factory Tour (17) Herr's Factory Tour (18) Herr's Factory Tour (19) Herr's Factory Tour (20) Herr's Factory Tour (21) Herr's Factory Tour (1)

5 Birthdays

By | Celebrations, New York | No Comments

Even if it was a stormy, wet and windy day in Manhattan, we all met up to celebrate 5 birthdays- Rolando, Adeling, Marden, James and I. Though Rolando and Adeling treated really for their bday and we had pizza. We enjoyed so much especially while listening to the stories of Rolando and Adeling. It was also like a reunion with Marden and Cherry. Looking forward to our next reunion when we go back to NYC ?? #h2hny #h2hnyc2017

Whenever I’m in New York I make it a point to visit Adeling ( in orange) in the office. So happy to also see Gloria, Virgie and Cherry who used to work for Rustan’s Home and now part time for us in New York.  Love them #H2HPeople #h2hny #h2hnyc20175 Birthdays (3)  So happy to also see Rolando in the office. He has been working with the family since Rustan’s San Marcelino time in 1963 as a gift wrapper! He is now 72 years old and still with us for a total of 54 years with the family  #H2HPeople #h2hny #h2hnyc20175 Birthdays (4)  For 26 years that I’ve been going to New York City, this small but terrible lady was there that even when I was alone, I felt safe that she was around. Adeling. She’s been with the family for 45 years since Rustan’s San Marcelino. She is so efficient that the whole family relies on her. She’s so soft spoken and super nice she won’t hurt a fly!! But she’s smart and tough and knows what to do even in the city where everyone is so hard to deal with. She is 64 years old and still goes all over the city doing errands. Super LOVE Adeling !  Truly a one of a kind person.  We love her!   #H2HPeople #h2hny #h2hnyc2017#h2hrustans5 Birthdays (5) 5 Birthdays (6) 5 Birthdays (7)  Another loyal Rustanite! Cherry Coralde. She started in 1987 and we worked together in 1995 and she was handling the kitchenware department and one of the few managers that always reached her targets. She had to go to New York for family reasons in 2004 so she had to leave but she says she would still be in the company had she not gone to the States. This is what I mean about our people – they remain our family even if they are not working with us anymore. Cherry brought this yummy Sour Cream Apple walnut pie from the Little Pie Company in the Big Apple @littlepiecompany as our birthday cake for today’s celebration/reunion  #H2HPeople #h2hrustans #h2hny#h2hnyc20175 Birthdays (2) 5 Birthdays (8) 5 Birthdays (9) 5 Birthdays (1)

Face Care That’s Kind to Skin, Is Now In Manila

By | Beauty | No Comments

Famous for their gentle, skin-loving yet highly-effective products such as their award-winning micellar water and micellar cleansing facial wipes, the United Kingdom’s #1 face care brand, Simple, has finally landed in the Philippines.

Simple champions the belief that face care is not just about how skin looks from the outside. Rather, it is about how it feels—because it is always about how women feel about their own skin that truly matters. With that, the brand offers a range of products that gently hydrates while providing superior makeup removal and skin cleansing, specifically made for women with sensitive skin.

Kind To Skin, Kind To Body, and Kind To Others

To deliver the best results, Simple only uses skin-loving ingredients that are kind to the skin and to the planet. Sourced sustainably, it is free from color, fragrance, and other harsh ingredients that can upset the skin. Still, it delivers its promise of leaving skin thoroughly-cleansed without that tight or dry feeling. Each product works in harmony with the skin for a calming and hydrating effect. At the end of the day, face care should always be as fuss-free, gentle, and as effective as that.

After all, #KindnessIsSimple

Five Skin-loving products for Filipinas

Five of the brand’s most well-loved and multi-awarded products are now available in the Philippines. Filipinas can look forward to finally experiencing the power of the Micellar Water, Micellar Facial Cleansing Wipes, Moisturizing Facial Wash, Hydrating Light Moisturizer, and Dual-Effect Eye Makeup Remover.

The Simple Micellar Cleansing Water (P499/200mL, P799/400mL) is the most advanced facial cleanser to date, yet is gentle enough even for the most sensitive skin. 

Simple SkinCare (1)It contains micelles, which are clever cleansing bubbles that work to lift away makeup and impurities, unclogging pores while instantly boosting skin hydration by 90%. It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested and approved. This product is a cult-favorite in the beauty industry—aside from having a strong following, it was also part of Glamour UK’s Top 15 cleanser and Allure’s Best of Beauty 2015.

For those who still prefer facial wipes, the Simple Micellar Cleansing Facial Wipes (P299) is perfect to refresh and nourish your skin, remove tough make-up and is soft enough for use on delicate or sensitive skin.Simple SkinCare (2) It contains a perfect blend of the purest possible skin-loving ingredients and added vitamins. They’re also convenient, quick-to-use and a fantastic addition to any makeup bag, perfect for when women on the go.

For a deep and thorough cleanse, there is the Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash (P299/150mL). Unlike other harsh cleansers in the market, it can get rid of oil, dirt, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.Simple SkinCare (3) It’s made of only the purest ingredients and skin-loving multi-vitamins to keep sensitive skin clean and hydrated. It’s also 100% soap-free, so even those with the most sensitive skin can benefit from it.

For makeup lovers, there is the Simple Dual-Effect Eye Makeup Remover (P499/125mL). It effectively dissolves even the toughest eye makeup without irritating the eyes. Simple SkinCare (4)The two-part formula consists of oil and purified water for maximum effect—no eye-rubbing required. This means that even women who wear contact lenses can use it without having to worry about their eyes turning red. The best part? It also cares for the eyelashes, at it leaves your fringes hydrated and nourished.

Finally, the Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer (P499/125mL) is the moisturizer of dreams—it’s actually the UK’s #1 moisturizer. Simple SkinCare (5)It’s created with the perfect blend of multi-vitamins, glycerin, and borage seed oil to keep the skin hydrated for up to 12 hour, as it instantly doubles the skin’s hydration levels.
