Glenda Candleholder

My Tita Nena Vargas Tantoco gave me one of these candleholders. It’s made out of trees that fell from typhoon Glenda in Sta. Elena.

Glenda Candleholder (1) She taught the gardeners how to make it and they make them during their spare time. Tita Nena sells them and she buys some from the gardeners and it goes to the Sta. Elena employees fund. Isn’t she amazing?

I visited her in Sta. Elena and saw reindeers made out of the trees that fell from Glenda

She has a new design which is a Mother and Child also from the remnants of Glenda. How beautiful!! For orders Pls call her secretary Baby Perez at +63 939 905 2676 or +63 917 832 6540

Choose Messy Bessy It’s a No Brainer

By Heart2Heart | Green | No Comments

Super love this video of my sister in law, Krie for Messy Bessy. It was made by her Kuya, Jun Reyes under the direction of his son Nicolo

Because of your support in 2014, we’ve been able to provide education and employment for over 50 young adults, who otherwise would never have been able to graduate from high school and college.

Please allow me to share with you this short video that details the milestones that you were very much a part of.

This was made in their new studio which hopefully we can visit one day

Indie.go is a production company, and they also built the first hollywood-standard studios in the country.

Here’s an article on his new venture,

Nespresso cups, Toilet Paper rolls, Magazines and Pull rings

By Heart2Heart | Giving Back, Green | No Comments

I am a sucker for recycling things! I feel bad seeing things go to waste. I am sharing this in case you still don’t have a venue to send your old magazines, nespresso cups or pull rings. I met a nice lady who helps many NGOs and foundations – Philippine Community Fund ( PCF ), Invisible Sisters, Kaibiga, etc – by simply giving them these items. Many of you have magazines and maybe drink soda and for those with restaurants , you might want to collect the pull rings. Please contact Nena Ortoll at +63 918 918 5099

Sample items made from magazines

Even Nespresso cups can be recycled

Even Nespresso Cups are being recycled!

Please send the pull rings in this manner so it is already organized and clean

In her backyard where she collects them before having it sent or picked up by the foundations

I googled what you can do with pullrings and there are so many. Even pinterest has many ideas

Tita Nena has her staff make these holders using the foils of snack bags – clover chips, chippy etc. She gives them as gifts to friends abroad

Look what I saw from Gaita!!

I also donate my toilet paper rolls to another lady!! I must have accumulated this for two years. I heard they make them into christmas decorations. I am so happy they just don’t go to waste 🙂

I googled and wow what you can make with toilet paper rolls 🙂 [email_link]

Driving to the Countryside

By Heart2Heart | Green, Nature, Travel | No Comments

Aside from the millions of things you can do in the city of London, there is so much more to explore outside the city!!!! Castles, towns, and all of them beautiful!! I really need to live here or come more often! 🙂

Just driving and looking at the views is already a natural high for Heart2Heart. Again everywhere you pass is always so clean, organized and always in place. I took these photos while the car was moving so it might not be too clear.

Rapeseed fields which they use to make rapeseed oil

As we arrived in the Cotswolds area, the roads became very narrow. Quite scary if another car was coming from the other side. But how beautiful the sides of the road!!!!

It changes as you go along

We stopped first at Burford an old town

It’s always more fun with good friends 🙂

This was my favorite!!

Homes made of limestone

Cole Haan 🙂

Kensington Gardens

By Heart2Heart | Green, Travel | No Comments

Out of the 432 public gardens, I was only able to go to one this trip!

The garden which is known to have been covered with flowers when Lady Diana passed away

I got this photo online ( www.mirror.co.uk )

Kensington Palace

While walking, Rina showed me this portion which is a mini meadow 🙂 The wildflower meadow

You normally see these type of scene in a movie or in a commercial but I took these photos candidly of children in the meadow

Love the flowers

This is a maze leading to the Orangery – I could not get a photo from the top so this is the best I could do

Sunken Gardens

Love this!!

Enjoying the sun

There was this tree that was a natural shade. It was so beautiful. The branches and leaves were falling reaching almost the ground. If this were in the Philippines, people would probably race to get it and use it as a picnic ground – where here everyone loves the sun! 🙂

View from the side

Another gigantic tree perfect for shade but no one was here 🙂

London Gardens and Topiary

By Heart2Heart | Green, Travel | No Comments

I love London because it is a city where everything is beautiful! Look to your right, to your left, back, front, up – there is so much to see. It’s a city that does not feel like a city because it has a lot of greens which Heart2Heart loves 🙂 I tried to research to get some figures and this website seems to document it the best from what I saw http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/

There are 609 public parks,

432 public gardens,

242 squares and 226 garden squares in London!

Aside from that they have botanical institutions, churches with gardens, private gardens and vertical gardens!! I love how they decorate the frontage of hotels and homes with beautiful greens and topiary. I particularly like the topiary 🙂 Pardon the photos as we are always moving in the car
