Goodies from Bali

By | Finds, Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

In our rooms when we arrived, we all received the native bag, hat and fan and beside it was this 🙂  From the bridal couple.  This was why we were in Bali, to celebrate a special occasion.  

img_0946.jpg

Pam told me that she tried this in the resort when they first visited and she asked them to pack it for the guests so we could enjoy it too…and boy they are addicting!! 

img_0947.JPG

Since Pam paid an arm and a leg for those ( haha ) , during my shopping tour, I went to the grocery to look for it and I found it!!! I bought one, tried it to see if it was the same and it was so I got everything on the shelf and brought it back home to share!  It is not exactly the same as the one at Bvlgari Resort but it is close.  Here they are and you can buy it at my favorite store where you buy all the other delicious things 🙂  This is all that is available what you see in the photo so hurry and get some!  They are addicting!!

goodies-from-bali-04.jpeg

I also saw this beautiful things dangling from the trees in the resort and I found them too!!!  Sorry the photo is not too clear

hanging-decor-bulgari-resort.jpg

So i brought home some.  You can hang them on trees, use them as decoration, as a curtain 🙂

goodies-from-bali-01.jpeg

They come in different shapes 🙂

Our Favorite Things at Lush

By | Beauty, Finds, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

After our lunch at 2nd’s ( Previous entry:  2nd’s June 8, 2011 ) and after talking about all our “finds,”  we rushed to Lush which is a short walk from 2nd’s at Bonifacio High street.  We are all Rustan’s loyalists even if we do not work there anymore.  Only Luzanne is left still working in Rustan’s.  But we always still shop at Rustan’s and LOVE RUSTAN’s!:-) 

I was happy to know about the products at Lush because sometimes I just enter because of the smell and everything looks nice, but I just don’t know what to buy.  Now my girlfriends showed us their favorites which are tried and tested:-) 

our-favorite-things-at-lush-04.jpg

Sultana seemed to be a favorite of many.  Lucille said that you can even use it as a car or drawer freshener.  Lush has all these really nice smelling scents.  We even tried washing our hands with this soap and the after smell was so good 

our-favorite-things-at-lush-02.jpg

Karma is also a recommended body soap by Des and Luzanne 

our-favorite-things-at-lush-01.jpg

This is the hair wash Luzanne recommended.  Very effective for temporary hair loss 

our-favorite-things-at-lush-03.jpg

Det said to make sure to buy the tin can to put the soap so that it will last for 100 washes! 

our-favorite-things-at-lush-05.jpg

Det said that any of these massage bars are good!

2nd’s

By | Finds, Foodie | 4 Comments

I am so happy that our get together is more regular now and we are more up to date on each other’s lives.   Lucille, who is like the mother of the group 🙂 just arrived and planned it.  The last time was at IMCKavino

Previous Entry:  IMCKavino February 26, 2011 

I have been hearing about this place and good thing the girls chose it. It used to be the former Magnet Cafe and it is right across Cav at Bonifacio Highstreet

2nds-01.jpg2nds-03.jpg2nds-026.jpg2nds-04.jpg2nds-025.jpg2nds-05.jpg2nds-06.jpg2nds-07.jpg

WE WERE COMPLETE!!!  And you can see the waiter’s reflection on the glass taking our picture 🙂

2nds-023.jpg2nds-012.jpgimg_0423.jpg

Our two very strong girlfriends – Luzanne and Des.  I really admire them for their courage and strength in their fight against cancer.  It’s interesting to get first hand real life experiences from them and seeing how each of them is coping in different ways.  Like for example, Luzanne chooses to use a wig and Des prefers to use a bandana.   And despite what they are going through,  they can still be very open about it and laugh with us about it.  I am so happy that they make us part of their lives because we want to support them and let them know that we are behind them and love them

Compliments 🙂  kamote chips

 I will be sharing here at Heart2Heart the recommendations of the girls.  I love listening to their “finds”

Ever since I introduced Clipa to Lucille, she told me she bought so many already in Rustan’s.  I heard that they have sold thousands of this bag accessory already!!

Previous entry:  Clipa December 14, 2009

I liked it because it was pink

2nds-014.jpg

apparently it is a special color  and proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

thinkpinklowres-271×300.jpg

and Lucille was raving about Holly’s fresh yoghurt and of course I do not doubt this recommendation because anything Holly’s is good and FRESH!

 Previous Entry:  Holly’s Really Farm Fresh Dairy Products Feb 4, 2009

 img_0594.jpg

Luzanne’s recommendation-Lush New Hair Shampoo bar.   She said it really works!!!

img_0452.jpg

 Des’ Recommendation – Sultana Soap from Lush

img_0451.jpg 

 Brenda’s recommendation is of course her very own flourless chocolate brownies which she is in charge of producing!  She brought us samples and it was very good!

2nds-021.jpg

Dette’s recommendations -Sniffles Balm for babies but adults can use it too, good for cold and headaches

2nds-020.jpg

And Ilog Maria’s femine wash which all the others agreed was the best!

Rimowa Travel Advisory

By | Finds, Pink, Travel | 5 Comments

A few weeks ago, I saw this!!! I got so excited because I had just recently held a Rimowa luggage used by Dad and Mom and I loved how light it was and how easy it was to tag along in the airport.

rimowa-luggage-custom.jpg

Then a week or so after, I saw this!!!!  It was James birthday and he gave a me a gift on his birthday!!! Hmmmm…. where can you find a husband like that?? 🙂  Today we travel and I bring along my pink luggage and will not have to worry too much about luggage allowance on the plane where sometimes just the luggage alone already weighs 7 kilos- so you have 13 kilos left for things to put inside! Not only will it be light but hopefully I will be able to spot my luggage on the carousel from far away….unless someone bought the same ones 🙂
