Everything was good but my favorite was her chicken which is like an Iberian chicken but less complicated.  It’s a Garlic and lemon chicken.

Marinate for a few hours with garlic, lemon,  olive oil, salt and pepper and leave it in the refrigerator. Then bake in the oven for 45 minutes then leave in oven for around 30 minutes Yum!!!!

Looking for a peaceful and cozy place in Tagaytay to have a good meal, Read today’s Food and Leisure section of the Philippine StarCooking with leave and love in Tagaytay cafe voila Philippine Star July 23 2015More photos and the menu here 🙂

It’s so romantic here, my couple friends had to HHWW haha!!

Ned and Janet Horani Cafe Voi La Tagaytay

Tita Ica told me that the theme of the place was supposed to be Swiss which explains why the facade of the building looks like this, but she managed to mix everything with what she wanted to create and she says it is an extension of her home- When you go inside that is how her home feels and looks like.  She is in a way sharing herself and her home with the people who come to try her cookingCafe Voila by Ica Manalo Sebastian (37)

I remember one very important message from Tita Ica that day – she told me that if you want something or you want to do something, you can always do it if you really want to.  It’s very true and can be applied to many things in our life.  Don’t say you cannot cook or you cannot build your own dream home, because if you really want to, you will do it 🙂  Cafe Voila by Ica Manalo Sebastian (33)

Visiting Pratt Institute

By | Education | No Comments

We visited Pratt Institute where our cousin, Mia de Jesus, just graduated from.  It was already night time so we were just able to pass through Pratt’s Sculpture park.

Pratt’s sculpture park was recognized as one of the 10 best college and university campus art collections in the country by Public Art Review.Pratt (2)

 Seven Hearts by Noel Copeland at Pratt Institute Campus. A social statement about universal love consists of a series of 7 hearts coming from a central shaft. “Pratt Institute – Founded in 1887, Pratt Institute is a global leader in higher education dedicated to preparing its 4,600 undergraduate and graduate students for successful careers in art, design, architecture, information and library science, and liberal arts and sciences. Located in a cultural hub with historic campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Pratt is a living lab of craft and creativity with an esteemed faculty of accomplished professionals and scholars who challenge their talented students to transform their passion into meaningful expression”Pratt (1)

 An interesting thing at Pratt Institute. They are called the Cats of Pratt.  Ownerless cats going around the campus and students and faculty take care of them. Pratt (13)

 We went to the engine room in the main bldg of the school and we saw one! Pratt (14)

 The ribbons are awards won by the cats and they are displayed on the engine room window. The engine room provides heat and hot water to the campus since 1958. “The cats have become legendary at this school of art and design in Clinton Hill century old steam plant housed in the basement of East Hall that many call their home” (New York Times)Pratt (15)

House of Laurel Cruise/Transition 2015 “Theory of Congruence”

By | Fashion | No Comments

 Last July 18 was the first day of the launch of Rajo’s Transition collection which is in between Summer and Holiday.  His work is exclusive having only 6-8 pieces per design and 1 per colorTheory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 4Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 8Rajo Laurel dares to venture into the thought process of bringing focus on things he doesn’t like for his Cruise/Transition Collection 2015. This interesting philosophy has brought his imagination to Math and all its concepts on numbers, lines and dimensions.Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 9

The Theory of Congruence in mathematical definition is an agreement, a coming together of similar objects and when translated into Fashion speak, is a mix of well connected pieces forming a singular aesthetic.Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 1Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 2Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 5Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 6Theory of Congruence Rajo Laurel 2015 10

Designed to be a palette cleanser in between our Spring /Summer and Holiday collections, House of Laurel attempts to go neutral using colors such as Beige, Taupe, Olive, Navy, Wine, Gray and the staple, black and white.

Laurel foregoes the usual abundance of details and ornaments and sets a relaxed mood for his clientele with easy fabrics such as cotton, linen, creppe, and printed silks. The silhouettes are more experimental and streamlined but still adhere to House of Laurel’s code of aesthetic – elegant ease.

Customers will expect a level of exclusivity with one of a kind pieces as the fashion house continues its trademark of one design in eight different fabrications and sizing.

Our Rajo! Brand offered only in Power plant mall Rockwell , explores a younger and more dynamic interpretation of the collection at a more retail oriented price point.

Here Comes the Sun by Artdeco

By | Beauty, SSI Group Inc | No Comments

 Super love the Art Deco Here Comes the Sun limited collection. I’m so white/pale and this is just what I need! And even when it’s raining I’m sure many Pinays would still like to have that tanned look. And you don’t have to tan 🙂 if you have Art Deco’s Here Comes the Sun from Beauty Bar – Bronzing Powder compact, Sunshine glow fluid, Sunshine blush, Sunshine eyeshadow, Khol Kajal, Art Couture Nail Lacquer, Spray on Leg foundation and Sunshine Lip gloss.  Discovering many things at Beauty Bar and loving them!!

here comes the sun artdeco beauty bar philippines

I asked my friend Laura how to keep my face from looking so white after putting Armada sunblock and she said “use a bronzing powder and blush” And so this Art Deco Sunshine blush and Bronzing powder from the Here Comes the Sun limited collection are perfect!!! It gives a natural complexion and its fragrance, lanolin and mineral oil free. The bronzing powder comes in beach walk and beach party

Art deco blush and bronzing powderAs we enter the rainy season, we are not quite ready to let go of our sunny summer vibes- still dreaming of the sun, the beach and the bikini. This limited collection Here comes the sun by ARTDECO ensures to arouse that holiday feeling all year long, allowing us to keep the glow and keep the bronze. Warm earthy tones, brilliant coral and intense orange conjure up a seductive summer look. The products, which are available in new packaging, make every woman feel as if she has been kissed by the sun. It’s as if the Maldives are a short hop away.

A naturally bronzed and matte finish is achieved with the fragrance- and paraben-free Bronzing Powder Compact. Inca oil is quickly absorbed and preserves moisture. Pea extract regenerates the collagen structure. The lanolin- and mineral oil-free Bronzing Powder Compact with SPF 15 is available in two color variations: No. 02 “beach walk” and No. 04 “beach party“.

The ultralight Sunshine Glow Fluid “sunshine glow” conjures up a refined, sun-kissed finish. The gently shimmering fluid containing vitamin E and hyaluronic acid makes the skin radiant. The fluid can be mixed with a day cream or foundation to perfect the natural skin tone and make the skin more voluminous.

The limited Sunshine Blush “good morning sunshine” features a highly brilliant color and good durability. The three soft colors ensure a naturally beautiful complexion. Vitamins C and E nourish the skin and mineral sericite leaves the skin feeling good. The Sunshine Blush is fragrance-, lanolin- and mineral oil-free.

Beauty Bar_Artdeco (2)The new Sunshine Eyeshadows impress with a good ink transfer and long-lasting, intensive color strength. The pleasant texture consisting of fine pearl and selected pigmentation is linked to an ultimate color result. The eyes gleam in gentle earthy tones such as No. 15 “coconut”, No. 21 “sand beach”, No. 26 “blazing sun” and No. 31 “sun bath”. The design specially developed for ARTDECO allows the fragrance-, lanolin- and paraben-free Sunshine Eyeshadows to take on the appearance of a prized piece of jewelry. The powder eyeshadows are dermatologically tested.

The new paraben-free Khol Kajal, a tapered lip liner, impresses with its consistent color output and deep black color pigmentation. Achieving a dramatic or smokey eyes look with the Khol Kajal is child’s play. The Khol Kajal feels good and is easy to use even for the uninitiated. The Kajal wears out evenly during application because it is self-sharpening. It dries upon application.

 Beauty Bar_Artdeco (3)

The new Sunshine Lip Gloss, which is distinguished by good durability and a pleasant feeling, provides shiny lips. The active ingredient complex of encapsulated collagen and hyaluronic acid promotes the firmness and smoothness of the lips; their volume is increased. The gloss can be applied easily and precisely thanks to the flock applicator. The Sunshine Lip Gloss is available in No. 3 “glossy sunrise” and No. 5 “glossy sunset”.

 Beauty Bar_Artdeco (4)The Art Couture Nail Lacquer, a high-tech nail lacquer, enables a long-lasting, brilliant shine thanks to its patented ingredients. The high pigment content ensures rich colors with high opacity. The highly effective gel-based film formers provide a short drying time. The length, width and rounding of the brush made of high-quality Tynex fibers guarantee speed, a high degree of precision and flawlessly lacquered nails. Nourishing active substances such as amino-peptides, panthenol, vitamins A, C and E as well as phycocorail, a moisturizing seaweed extract, improve the nail structure. The shimmering coral of No. 926 “couture beach life”, the warm orange of No. 933 “couture summer breeze” and the bright pink of No. 936 “couture sun-kissed” complete the summer look.

 Beauty Bar_Artdeco (5)The limited Spray on Leg Foundation, the must-have for the summer, conjures up attractively tanned legs. The tanning spray conceals minor irregularities, is quick-drying, water-resistant and long-lasting. Vitamin E and green tea extract nourish the skin. The Spray on Leg Foundation is available in three tanning shades: No. 3 “sand”, No. 5 “sun tan” and No. 8 “desert sun”.
