When Suharts and Rins are here we are so busy 🙂 Lunch hosted by Tita Menchu and Lucy (cute dog) Katigbak. Group photo with slippers
Japanese style where you have to remove your shoes and wear slippers.
Lite Tikoy from Tita Viv for Chinese New year. She is so cute 
So happy to see Tita Viv Yuchengco @canarymum 🙂 who always looks so good everytime I see her. One of her secrets is Izumio #h2hizumio @naturallyplusphilippines and Another secret is her beauty salon called Vivify @vivify_salon in Jupiter street. She now offers microblading and she is the perfect model. She is a permanent fixture at the Makati Stock Exchange soon to move to BGC. Tita Viv is a trove of information so i also like getting info and finds from her. She has a doctor for everything and she will even help you get an appointment in an instant. There’s no better wisdom than experience and age. Love learning from friends – to me they are blessings from God #h2hbeauty #vivifysalon #h2hpeople
Homecooked healthy and yummy meal by Tita Menchu.
Pako salad, Inihaw na baboy, Chicken inasal and Tita Vivian’s Pancit palabok. Super enjoyed our host, Tita Viv @canarymum and Marlene. I learn so much from them and enjoy the super funny stories – i could listen all day #h2hpeople #h2htablesettin
Discoveries and learnings from Tita Menchu! She’s so detailed and so hands on in everything she does. She has the same name as my mom and they are friends 🙂
Yummy garlic crispy chips which she got in Isetann Singapore
Homemade pako salad- she said she just puts the pako in a strainer and pours hot water over it then adds the onions and tomato. And since she’s “OC” the onions and tomatoes have to be cut a certain way
I asked her how she marinated her yummy Chicken inasal – its Claude Tayag inasal which comes in a bottle and you can buy in the grocery. Yum!
LOVE the Cold handtowel idea in the tablesetting which smelled so good. She puts the colognes or perfumes that she can’t use. Which i believe is not offensive because you really tend to choose your scent sometimes.
Super love the crochet glass holder which can’t be bought anywhere 🙁 because it was made by a former maid. It’s so thick and so snug and looks so elegant. If someone can please copy and sell
Volvic which is mountain spring water is the best drinking water 
I like the slipper idea. In my future home im hoping to follow the Japanese home where they have an area before entering the home which has a cabinet to put shoes then you change into slippers and there’s a step before entering the home proper. That’s why i collect hotel slippers:-) I’m going to follow all these!! Lovegetting ideas from friends. 
Oh and we got a taste test of the latest Carmen’s Best @carmensbest of @pacomagsaysay which is Sugar free and will be launched soon #h2hhouseholdtips #h2hfinds#h2hicecream

I love Lola Sally! She shares so many valuable tips. She’s in her 80’s yet she looks great! Her beauty secret is Pond’s 🙂 She carries with her quite a big bag because she has everything in it! She is prepared!
Every bag she has, she keeps the price tag haha!!! So she knows where she bought it and how much!
What is inside?
She organizes her things in little plastic bags 🙂 
She uses anti bacterial wipes on everything especially in the airplane – she says you have to wipe everything to be sure it is clean.
She keeps track of how much cash she has
Of course photos of her family back home in the States and of course her great grand kids
She grooms herself at all times 🙂
Nothing is complete without God

Rustan’s Flower Shop
Congratulations to my sisters Maricar and Pam of Lady Scott Jones! 😉
Last month I bumped into Mariana in the supermarket and she told me about a workshop. I really believe that that was not by chance and that I was meant to be in this workshop because it has brought so much happiness and peace to me.
Lia Bernardo was talking about sanctuaries and I realized that Rustan’s is one of my sanctuaries. When I’m here I’m so at home and I’m happy when I’m here with all the staff so friendly, the store always so clean with nice music and looking at all the beautiful things from all over the world is just happiness
In the photo are peonies which she loves and an Acrila dresser which is Lia’s sanctuary at home where she fixes up herself. Just listening to Lia is already happiness and so relaxing
In Rustan’s Home Lia Bernardo talked about creating sanctuaries in your home. Buying things and surrounding yourself with things that you love and that make you happy. Sometimes I feel we are pressured to put things in our home that we think will make other people happy or what maybe our interior designer likes. But in this sanctuary that Lia was talking about it has to be something personal to you.
When Lia Bernardo was talking about creating a sanctuary in your home, I knew right away what spot that was in my house and how I unconsciously created it. My husband always closes the door of my sanctuary because he thinks it’s weird 🙂 and I have to keep telling him that no one has to like it but me! And I’m so happy I have this place all to myself so I can put here everything that I want without having to please anyone . So anything pink and hearts and all my trinkets are all here. I love this place and it’s my happy place. No one bothers me when I’m here
Create your own sanctuary at home for your well being. Thank you Lia. We learned so many things. Blessing for the day. Lia is a Well being and Personal growth consultant. She does workshops on personal growth in the healing house or people can host their own retreats. I wish I could listen to her everyday so I will always be inspired and peaceful and happy.
She is also a partner of my cousin Katrina offering Elixir healing mists which can be used as personal fragrances or home spray. Contact liabernardo@gmail.com. She also has her own website which was recently launched! ( Click below to go to her website and follow her )
My Mom has a food notebook which lists down all the food she has in the house. It is categorised ! This way she can just look at her notebook to know what is in her pantry /storage. It also indicates the Best Before or expiry dates of each food item
Aside from food, she has albums with photos of the home items she has also in storage
Each item has a photo and it indicates the quantity and the location where it is stored
White dresses, linen and….chocolate? Premium detergent brand Ariel demonstrated its expert cleaning power in a deliciously unexpected manner as it invited selected ladies to a luxe lunch celebrating one of laundry’s worst enemies – chocolate.
(First Row, L-R) Baus Rufo, Romina Nañagas, Kathleen Go, Joanne Rae Ramirez, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Ana
de Ocampo, Techie Hagedorn, Sari Yap, Liza Ilarde, Mia Borromeo, Joy Ortega, Malou Romero, Nicole Whisenhunt, Charina Sarte, Mandy dela Rama, Nicole Ortega and Chef Florabel.
(Second Row, L-R) Bambina Olivares, Alicia Sy , Mukta Maheshwari, Mons Romulo, Trish Panlilio, Rica Lopez de Jesus and Rorie Manzano.
In an intimate gathering held at the newest branch of renowned Filipino fine dining fixture, Florabel, last April 15, Ariel demonstrated its superior removal of even the toughest stains.
“As they say, chocolate goes with everything, and we agree! But sometimes, there is a tendency for us to see it as a guilty pleasure—something we only treat ourselves to on special occasions or even ‘cheat days.’ For others, chocolate can mean a tricky, gooey, dirty affair.
But today, Ariel challenges us to let go of those worries and dare to face tough stains! We encourage everyone to indulge in decadent chocolate without the worry.”, Procter & Gamble Brand Manager for Fabric Care- Philippines Mukta Maheshwari emphasized.
“Finally, Ariel’s 1-wash clean has been upgraded to further enhance its tough stain removal ability.”, shared Maheshwari. “When it comes to the dirty business of washing and cleaning, tough stains are problematic. We’re constantly on alert—from our morning coffee to the makeup, sweat, that ends up on our clothes. And because some of our most common run-ins with tough stains happen in the kitchen or at the dining table, Ariel is here to relieve us from those tough stain worries. This brings us to today’s special ingredient —chocolate!”
Among the “ladies who lunch” was lifestyle columnist Mons Romulo, who remarked, “It’s really fresh for a brand like Ariel to present their product in such a unique way, where we see before our eyes how Ariel delivers its promise of removing even tough stains.
Stains – even tough ones like chocolate – are inevitable. Ariel promises to take the tediousness and strain away from laundry by guaranteeing effective tough stain removal in just 1 wash.
In a partnership with Ariel, gracious host and top chef Florabel Co-Yatco was challenged in creating a chocolate-infused 4-course meal – delicious for the guests and a true test for the well-loved detergent brand. “The kitchen can be one of the messiest workplaces of all, and it takes significant effort to keep not only my environment clean, but also myself. But with Ariel, I don’t have to worry about tough stains that are inevitable”, chef Florabel shares.
Salad: Prosciutto chévre, dried mango & strawberry salad with dark chocolate vinaigrette
Soup dish: Purée of green asparagus with white chocolate curls.
US Angus beef shortribs with foie gras in dark bitter chocolate sauce
Dessert trio: Milk chocolate mascarpone mille-feuille. Dark chocolate tartlet with mango chutney and white chocolate pistachio ball
Plenty giveaways for us
Our models for the earrings 🙂
In between chocolate courses, Chef Florabel put Ariel to the test. A white fabric, stained with the dark chocolate balsamic vinaigrette that could be a nightmare for regular detergents, was no problem with Ariel’s 1-wash clean. Ariel’s fast-acting enzymes break down tough stains – and the scarf returned spotless – before the lunch even ended.
Ariel’s latest upgrade features improved sudsing action, stain removal performance and a fresh clean scent all at an affordable price of Php 7.50 SRP per sachet. Ariel is available at all leading supermarkets nationwide.
