Chef Javs Prepares His First Degustation

By | Foodie, For kids | 2 Comments

We were surprised when one day Chef Javs said he wanted to prepare a degustation!  He must have been inspired by something for him to do this.  He wanted the whole family to come but just a few could make it on short notice.  This was five weeks ago so it is a delayed post.  He did not want me to post it because he feels it’s not so good, but I told him that it was very good especially for his first time.  

I went behind the scenes to check on my Chef 🙂

He comes out to explain each dish

Our first dish,  Potato tortilla with potato foam and crispy potatoes and green onions.  He used the whipper to make the foam – so you can say this is molecular gastronomy 🙂

When Mom saw this dish, she rushed to bring out her caviar and added it 🙂

 Cheering for Chef Javs!!  We are so proud of our little chef!  chef-javs-prepares-his-first-degustation-20.JPG

Salmon with Cream cheese in Phyllo pastry – it was a big big portion – we told the Chef that he should make his portions smaller 🙂  He doesn’t realize that we do not eat as much as he does! 🙂

Say Hello to Beautiful Underarms with Dove Deodorant

By | Beauty | One Comment

We had a fun Dove event a few weeks back.  Heart2Heart loves Dove not only for their wonderful products but because of their advocacy on making women confident and bringing out their beauty inside and out 

At Atelier 317

With delicious cocktails 🙂

We talked about underarms!!! 🙂  All women are conscious about their underarms and Dove makes women confident and feel beautiful!       

Women shared their underarm stories

Dra. Anna Palabyab, Dermatologist, gave us some tips on how to care for our underarms and recommends using Dove as part of our daily beauty regimen

Gabbie Agarrado who is in charge of research and development for Dove tells us about the product and challenged us to take the 7 Day Dove Challenge

And I did!  🙂  And it really works in just 7 days!!!!  You have to try it to believe it.  It’s a great product because it is not only a deodorant but it moisturizes and cares for your skin.  

There are 3 different variants depending on your skin typeThe blue one is the original scent ( above )

For whitening

Patrice Salas @ 18

PATRICE SALAS Save the date by Niceprint Photography from niceprint photo on Vimeo.

Time flies so fast!  I met Patrice when she was 10 years old.  She was in the same school as Jaime at that time.  And now, she is eighteen years old!!!  Already a lady!  A beautiful one.  Thank you Tito Ernie, Tita Chichi, Jun Jun and Rhoda for making us a part of this momentous occasion in Patrice’s life.  We will be waiting for the next one, when it’s Patty’s turn

 As you enter the ballroom there were paintings displayed, apparently for raffle to the guests!  Wow! 🙂  

We came already after dinner and everyone was finished eating 🙂

Patrice is so lucky to have Jun Jun and Rhoda as he siblings!

Happy to bump into Jorenz and Ria

Anthony with his son but missing Ana

The highlight of the evening was the fashion show 🙂patrice-salas-at-18-invite.jpg

I like what Tito Ernie said when he acknowledged Rhoda his eldest daughter who organized everything.  He not only talked about Patrice but also talked about Rhoda.  He did not take away attention from her by focusing only on Patrice.  I was so touched by that
