By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

The brand U is a private label by Rustan’s for the young adult market, offering apparel and accessories that complement the young, urban, and casual lifestyle. Inspired by European fashion aesthetics and design elements, U’s concept gives individuality and personality to the wearer, while not forgoing quality and value for money.  While it is important for the younger generation to be “in style” and to be “effortlessly fashionable”, it is important that the clothes of they wear are durable, appropriate and affordable.

U is all that, and more.

The brand provides its young customers the opportunity for creative expression while still meeting the young generation’s demand for wearability, functionality, and a look that is just right for their age.

This season, U Girls’ collection splashes out color upon color that spells out Y-O-U-N-G: from hot pink twill blazers over ditsy floral dresses, to cerulean blue shirt-dresses over striking orange washed-twill shorts! Hype it all up with large leather bags in explosive reds and oranges, and chic tie-die wedges or fun striped peep-toe pumps. This collection is not only super stylish and chic, it’s perfectly ideal for school atmosphere!

U Boys’ summer collection introduces the fashionably sporty look, perfect for the uber C-O-O-L: Knit hoodies in electric blues and bright greens over fresh white-and-blue striped tees paired with classic dark-washed denims. New jackets in dry-fit cotton fabric over classic striped tees are totally “in”! Complete the look with a textured-twill and leather messenger bag, and you’re ready to go to class!

Visit to the Huggery

By | Celebrations | 6 Comments

We went to Asian Hospital to visit Santino.  Heart2Heart likes the name of the nursery, they call it the HUGGERY 🙂

So adorable, Santino!!! WELCOME TO THE WORLD CUTIE PIE!!!

The happy parents – Paolo and Trina.  I heard from Tito Raffy that Pao can’t keep his eyes off Santino, he forgets to eat! And Trina recovered so well, she does not even look like she had a baby…. Her tummy was all baby! 🙂

We even have giveaways for visiting 🙂

Heart2Heart has a funny BABY story to tell.  Two days ago, Bulgin, a friend of ours was telling us about his technique for having a baby!  People have been pressuring James and I to have another baby so Bulgin told us about his technique.   He swears by it and he said 7 of his friends who he told it to already got pregnant!!!  I am mentioning it here for those who are having a hard time having a baby….I believe they are safe and there will be no harm in trying it

Bulgin said, the MALE has to do just two simple things:

 go cycling/biking

and take Pharmaton everyday for one month, Pharmaton is just a multivitamin so I don’t think it will be harmful to take it

 I told Bulgin that I would be featuring his technique!!  

 Then to continue the story – This afternoon, I was talking to the new daddy, Paolo, and I mentioned to him about what Bulgin told me…..and Paolo told me that he also took Pharmaton which was recommended to him by his father in law!!!!  But Paolo told me that he did not have to bike 🙂 but he took Pharmaton with Rogin E which is also another multivitamin.  So he took 1 Pharmaton and 1 Rogin E a day.  Trina told me she also took the two vitamins but took them alternating each day.  And after a month, it worked!!!

I have been reading the captions for Pharmaton and Rogin E and it always mentions de stressing – and I know that stress is one of the reasons for not being able to get pregnant….hmmmmm….

  Paolo’s technique seems easier since you don’t have to bike! haha!!  So you can try any of the options!

Please pass this on to your friends who you know are close to giving up, who knows, it might just work!!
