 Heart2Heart put up a temporary store at the 2nd floor of Golden Spoon in Paseo de Magallanes, Makati.

There is no store name but I would call it or classify it asheart2hearts-favorite-things-5.jpg

 

 

Do come and visit and check it out 🙂  Most of the things here are either

1.)   Bargain items – things at really cheap cheap prices – they sell fast though 🙂

2.)   Charity or Foundation items – items which I sell to help other foundations or charities

3.)   Just simply my favorite things or gadgets 🙂

 There are many more items coming in slowly, so do come and visit regularly to see what is new.  The store just opened

 Heart2Heart loves Luflee, Aero and all those air chocolates!  So there are a few pieces of the new Hershey’s Air delight and Air delight kisses!!

Cura V

By | Shopping, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

Cura V’s proclivity towards diversity can be attributed to the brand’s guardians – the five remarkable women who not only founded Cura V, but who continuously and tirelessly scour cities to meticulously sift through the fray and discover treasures to add to the store’s collection:
