We went to a baptism of our friend and there was this cool set up by the entrance

It was a photo booth where anyone can just pose and have their photo taken

  You hire them by the hour and you can take as many photos as you can within the time frame

They even have props for the adventurous and fun ones!

 Anyone can just pose and have their photo taken which later on will become your souvenir from the event.  Since this was our group photo and we all wanted a souvenir of our photo, we had to take 24 shots of ourselves since it fits 4 photos per card…

What a cool idea!  You might want to hire them for your next party or event 🙂

Accupleasure Head Massager

By | Finds, Great Inventions, What's New at Rustan's | 10 Comments

We gave out this head gadget for Christmas to some friends and many were asking where we got it…Heart2Heart would like to share this with you….try it and you might like it too 

The best way is to have someone else do it to you.  Try it also when you are very tired…suddenly you will want to just have an Accupleasure head massage! 

Available at Essenses at Rustan’s 

*********************** 

Head Massager gently stimulates millions of nerve endings on the scalp, as well as acupressure points that create a pleasant tingling sensation.

This process will ensure an endless release of endorphins, the body’s own natural painkiller. Head Massager will provide a soothing pleasurable feeling while you relax. Some claim it eliminates headaches on the spot. You will love the tingly sensation of head massager! Enjoy.

Arf Arf Confectionery

I LOVE these dog biscuits!!  Not because I have a dog that loves them nor do I love eating them but because it was through this that I got to meet one of friends who is now one of my dearest.  

Three years ago when I was planning the Dog party of Javs, I had wanted to give out dog biscuits as a giveaway.  So I emailed Michele to sponsor some for the loot bags and immediately she said YES!  From that day on, we never even talked about dog biscuits, but became friends!

sc000e72d0.jpg

Michele is my friend who cooks as a hobby and she invented these dog biscuits which she has been selling for ten years already.  She told me that before she made these biscuits, she tried all the other dog biscuits out there and she did not like any so she made her own.  Aside from dogs loving these treats, her son, Luigi, used to eat these biscuits when he was teething.     

It comes in small and medium sizes

and it is VERY HEALTHY!

 Available of course in only THE BEST – Rustan’s Supermarket and Shopwise

and in other major supermarkets

I got to meet the beneficiaries of her special treats : 

GORDY – the Shih tzu, 10 years old – Michele quality controls all her biscuits and puts only the whole bone shaped pieces – any that are cracked or damaed are not included in the package – so Gordy gets to eat those.  

What a CUTE FACE!!!!

and there is BOB-BOY!  Bob is the name but they call him BOB-BOY pronounced as “baboy!”  So funny this family! Bob-boy, the Golden Retriever, was so happy to see Michele, he was jumping all over her.  He is a trained dog and would SIT when told to but he was too excited and could not sit still when Michele was telling him to…He kept jumping all over her and running all over the place

 michelepets1.jpgmichelepets2.jpgmichelepets3.jpg

Aside from her two dogs, she has other pets.

Hamsters – Bob 1 and Bob 2 – Luigi likes the name Bob!  🙂

Then there is Freddie, the squirrel.  Michele told me that she would literally put him inside her shirt when he was a baby because she would take him with her everywhere she would go!  Usually squirrels just go all over the place and run so fast away from people- this one sticks to Michele and knows her!michelepets5.jpg

michelepets4.jpg 

I love these shots of Freddie clinging on to Michele 

 michelepets6.jpg

 

And this is my favorite named pet- FRAP!  which stands for Frappuccino, named after Starbucks’ famous Frappuccino drink. But since Frap is a girl – it is Frappuccina but Frap as nickname 🙂

 michelepets7.jpg

They are all so good natured and all know her.  I believe that the personalities of the pets reflect the personality of their masters.  You can tell that they are all well groomed, happy, caring, loving and very affectionate.  And that is my friend, Michele, she is all that plus more, that is why I love her!

Commando

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

What a great innovation in undergarments! Now available at Rustan’s Ladies department Makati. 

commando_header2.jpg

THONG

The commando thong is your everyday prescription against fatal fashion faux pas: from muffin tops to panty lines, we’ve got your cure. Refill often.

commando-thong_header1.jpg

TINY THONG

The commando tiny thong one-ups the G-string with no string, no G (what does G mean?!?), just lots of comfort for when less is more. Touche.

commando-tinythong_header.jpg

GIRL SHORT

The commando girl short is a cross between a boy short (who wants to look like a boy?) and a panty. Its flattering design elongates your gams and graces your cheeks.

commando-girlshort_header2.jpg

CYA

The commando c.y.a. panty is not just for corporate girls. Its classic bikini style fires panty lines and puts you on the fast track.

commando-cya_header.jpg 

 

TANK

Comfort. Coverage. Sleekness. Stretch.  As invisible (or visible!) as you want it to be, the commando™ tank is ideal for your sheerest tops and slinkiest sweaters, letting you layer without lines.  Paired with your favorite pajama bottoms, it’s even luxurious enough to put the beauty in your beauty sleep.

CAMI

Sleek.  Strappy.  Stretchy.  Simple.  Less a revolution than an evolution, the commando™ cami is the lower-coverage-but-still-wildly-wonderful sister to the commando™ tank you’ve come to know and love.

Never Lost

By | Great Inventions, Travel | 2 Comments

180420873503_0_alb.jpgWhen we are travelling on the road, I am usually the navigator ( better term for backseat driver ) of James….So i always have to make sure I have directions or a map.  Directions you normally can get by buying a map, calling the place up, going through their website or asking a friend…..until we discovered Hertz NEVER LOST!  No need to bother anyone!  Even the navigator needs a navigator so this gadget is my new best friend in the front seat.   The best part of it is even if you make the wrong turn or get confused, it will recalculate the route and then you are back on track.

 It is also a directory..when you are driving and suddenly get the urge to eat in Taco Bell,  just go to the yellow pages and look for the nearest Taco Bell.  You need to pay a little more to get this gadget but it is WORTH IT!  NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT IT!
