Tod’s and Metro Society Give back

By | Events and Launches, Giving Back | One Comment

October 17, Tod’s Boutique, Ground Floor, Greenbeltl 4 Ayala Center 6:00 pm

Luxury  Italian leather goods brand Tod’s – distributed in the Philippines by Stores Specialists, Inc. – is no stranger to charity work. Among their most noted projects recently is their team up with CAA and Men’s Vogue in an art auction that benefited Project Angel Food in 2006. Tod’s has also partnered with several celebrities such as actress Laura Linney and W Magazine for an event that helped Habitat for Humanity last October  2006; and Lucy Liu who designed a multi-colored Tod’s Marlene bag, the proceeds of which went to  UNICEF also last October 2006.
Here in the Philippines, this isn’t the first time that the brand is fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. This year Tod’s has teamed up with Metro Society Magazine for a charity event to benefit Bantay Bata 163. There was a silent auction of two gorgeous exotic-skin bags from the brand: a Marlene Pochette Micro Evening Bag and a T Bag Bauletto Mini. A portion of the proceeds from both sales of the two evenings and the auction pieces will be donated to Bantay Bata 163.
With its commitment to the high standard of quality, Tod’s is sure to craft nothing but the most beautiful products – and give back to the people while they’re at it.  [email_link]

 

TraveLife

October 5, Friday 32 Mc Kinley

Congratulations to Liza Ilarde, Editor in Chief of TraveLife Magazine!  Liza was also the Editor in Chief behind one of the top magazines in the country, Mega magazine.    They were one of the pioneers in the industry.  I noticed that when sharing albums with friends, one of the popular subjects is travel photos. People always want to see where you went, what you did and what you ate. Many always ask for travel tips before they leave for a trip.  So this magazine for sure will be very helpful. 

To quote from the Publisher, Christine Cunanan: 
“It’s the only dedicated travel magazine published on a regular basis.  It is written for the Filipino market by passionate Filipino travelers with real experiences and stories to share.  It’s an original Filipino publication that aims to go international.  Apart from Nationwide distribution, we are already available onboard the first and business class cabins and lounges of most major airlines flying out of Manila.  TraveLife is literally going global. ”

September Mothers Club

“Get Fit in 10 Minutes!” by Coach Jim Saret
Get Ready for the Holidays with a Festive Meal by MARY GRACE Dimacali (of the famous cheese rolls & ensaymadas)Thanks to Ola and Gigi for organizing this month’s Mothers Club.
We realized we should have been in our gym outfits so we could do the 10 minute workout of Coach Jim Saret….but I was so amazed when our host, Mimie, actually changed into her outfit and demonstrated for us. She is a perfect host and I love it because she is always “game” to participate and lead the group. We were very impressed with what we learned from Coach Jim and how he convinced us to do this 10-minute workout everyday, but after “getting fit in 10 minutes” we go back to eating and gaining back the calories we lost in the 10-minute workout! 🙂 Mary Grace of course did not reveal her secret recipes for her famous Ensaymadas and cheese rolls, instead she taught us some very interesting dishes which were all very simple to do, yet delicious. Another fruitful day at Mothers club!
