9 Layer Sans Rival by Jo Escueta

By | Yummy! | No Comments

 Another discovery from Eds @manayesg – A 9 layered Sans Rival made by Jo Escueta. I thought it was a sans rival crepe cake.   Heart2Heart loves Sansrival!!! It’s very hard to order this because the baker only bakes on Friday and Saturday. 9 Layer Sans Rival by Jo Cabangon (1)

 This Sansrival is the crispy type which apparently Eds likes while I like my Sansrival a bit chewy. 9 Layer Sans Rival by Jo Cabangon (3)

Ariel Loves Chocolate

By | Foodie, Household Tips | No Comments

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.

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.

Ariel  (4)

“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.

Ariel  (16) “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.

Ariel  (1)

Ariel  (12) 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.

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.

 Shower your mother with love and affection on the one day a year dedicated specially to the most important women in our lives. Rustan’s Department Store allows you to give both mother and child the best they deserve with countless promotions from exclusive brands and activities that will bring the whole family closer together. The Mother’s May Diaries, a month-long celebration, spoils these superwomen as they’re meant to enjoy the finer things in life.

Take your mother on a shopping spree to Rustan’s and replenish her wardrobe with the latest styles from their women’s wear that caters to any occasion. A gray Sinequanone skirt with playful ruffle detail and Sergio Rossi blythe flats, topped with an MZ Wallace Tiger Eye Iris bag would be a nice addition to her selection of every day wear. But for special date nights with dad, a tailor-fit lace dress from Adolfo Dominguez paired with a glamorous pair of Christian Louboutin Pigle Follier and elegant handbag from Coccinelle – or perhaps she’d prefer a gold Rafe clutch? You can also choose to go with a flowy kaftan from Natori topped off with a Ti Sento Bangle or Ziio Bracelet if she’s planning an island getaway for the family soon.

Mother's Day_2015 (2)
If she loves to accessorize, you can’t go wrong with statement pieces like the iconic Loewe puzzle bag in bright orange for added quirkiness or a bright blue Pedro Del Hierro sling bag. A playful Trina Turk Turquiose wallet and a Longchamp Le Pliage Heritage bag are also some of the pieces they will surely adore.

For pieces that accentuate the home, Lladro and Meissen offer delicate porcelain pieces that symbolize genuine love between mother and child as a tribute to her. While it’s tradition for parents to pass on heirlooms to their children, why not add to the collection some delicately exquisite pieces from Bernardaud and Lalique.

Mother's Day_2015 (5)

If you’re planning to give something extra special this year, take it up a notch by surprising your mom with fine jewelry and ardent adornments like silver earrings from Adami & Martucci or John Hardy, and gold rock candy lollipop necklace from Ippolita. The elegant pieces from Yvel and Mikimoto would very much delight her if she loves precious stones and pearls. But if that’s not enough, nothing says ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ better than luscious pickings from Rustan’s Silver Vault. Pick from a wide selection of exquisite diamond earrings from Damiani, beautiful Carrera Y Carrera white gold pendants, and sophisticated rings from Tamara Comoli and Marco Bicego.

Lladro Mother’s Day 2015

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Established in 1953, Lladró is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of artistic porcelain. The brand is distributed in more than 120 countries around the globe, with its main markets in the US, Japan, China and India.

After almost 60 years, all Lladró pieces are handcrafted in the workshops of the biggest little atelier in the world, the exclusive production facility located in Valencia, Spain. Every creation is characterized by a unique sense of style, and it is the result of a painstaking handmade process of creation, from the first sketch to the high-temperature firing at the kiln. The end result is an artistically perfect figurine that conveys its message through a unique language.

Lladro Mother's Day 2015 (4)

Time has come to celebrate the most valued women in life: mothers. Lladró has especially picked the most exquisite pieces in its collection dedicated to mothers all around the world and the unique bond between mothers and their children. Bringing into porcelain the most precious moments of life, Mother’s day is the perfect occasion to express the love and gratitude towards mothers.

Lladró, the world renowned creator of fine porcelain art, is proud to present its flower related Collection.

All Lladró creations are born from the inspiration, talent and skill of artists who dedicate their lives to the expression of universal sentiments and the deepest emotions in porcelain.

Lladro Mother's Day 2015 (1)

I want to be like you is a very special mother and child scene. The mother gives her daughter a pleasant surprise. They look at each other as they are about to enter into a spontaneous and loving embrace. In the poses of the two characters, the sculptor has captured to perfection the spontaneity of the moment, making it a piece full of life in which we almost expect to see the two to finish their embrace.Lladro Mother's Day 2015 (2)

Mommy’s little girl is a very special mother and child scene. The mother is explaining something important to her daughter and she is sitting on the floor to be closer to her. The playful gestures between mother and child transmit the close connection between mother and daughter. This charming scene is also very realistic because of the posture of both characters. The mother, because it is believed that to communicate better with children one should place oneself at the same height as them. And the daughter because she is not seated, more like a restless child who is taking a break from playing in order to listen to something important Mommy wants to tell her.

Delicate flowers in porcelain are the emblem of the Lladró brothers’ success in having incorporated all the exquisite beauty of flowers into their creations.  Petal by petal, each bloom is gradually formed in the sensitive hands of the superbly skilled Lladró artist.

BLOSSOMING OF LIFE

This motherhood is far from being the depiction of a classic or realistic scene. Both its style and its decoration are an idealization of this beautiful phase of life.

An original motherhood with an Art Nouveau air. A distinctive feature of the Art Nouveau movement from the late 19th century was the combination of feminine and vegetal ornamentation. The style is also referenced in a number of details, like the mother’s wavy hair or the loose folds of the dress, blending with the floral background.

LET’S TALK ABOUT HAPPY MOMENTS WITH MOMLladro Mother's Day 2015

If you think back on the most important moments of our life, your mother is surely there with you. Your first steps and falls, your first triumphs and failures… are also hers. That’s why we say thank you to her every day and, very specially, on Mother’s Day.

Lladró presents a selection of pieces to celebrate this day that speaks to us of those special moments. And as each mother is unique, there is a Lladró for each one of them. For those who like flowers, for animal lovers, for those who love decorating the home with style, and the many more unique mothers worldwide.

Creations that share the magic of Lladró porcelain, that transport us, like a time machine, to our most cherished memories. Memories to turn to on Mother’s Day, to remember those times we spent with her and to share a new experience with mum that we will remember forever.

Lladro is available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-la, Rustan’s Alabang and Rustan’s Cebu

Our Azure story has a variety of swim shorts and slim boarshorts and bike shorts, all of which can be teamed with any of the 4 rashguards in the story. Our Turq Camo story also proved popular internationally, combining turquoise and camouflage into a fabulous collection of boy’s favorites. For the older boys we’ve increased the coloured rash guards and matched them with various unique boardshort prints like Shorebreak.
