About a month ago, I met a pretty lady, Kathy Sarabia Babst.  She mentioned to me about her latest business venture with her best friend named Kathy also 🙂  Kathy Gregorio Anover.Â
 They are into bespoke jewelry.  Kathy Babst is part of the Sarabia family in Iloilo that has a jewelry business there.  So, we are sure she knows her business.  As everything now is bespoke and personalized, the two Kathy’s can manufacture to your specs .  This is one of their items – lockets
 Dara was there too and she too had a beautiful locket! Art Deco Luxe Locket
 And I got one too 🙂  Beautiful! Thank you Kathy & Kathy
“Forrest Locket, one of the four designed from our Sentimiento small Batch Luxe Locket Collection. Â The detail and craftsmanship of this design reminds us that well made products are a result of passion and handwork, sentiments we feel you also believe in”

I have a friend and yes she is “looney” 🙂  At first she was knitting….. Then when the Rainbow Loom craze started, she made this!  I thought Rainbow looms were for kids? haha!! Then now she’s making Frappuccinos 🙂  I LOVE IT!!! That’s mine!! The pink one 🙂 She has a following in instagram!

She even has a Youtube account where you can watch all her tutorials!! OMG!!! Â She is so amazing to document this! Â So for you Rainbow Loomers out there, my friend, Ina is an expert loomer! Click below to go to her youtube account
 Here are the photos from instagram of some of the things she has made!
And because of this even Rainbow Loom has recognised her works!!!! WOOHOO!!
I got excited when I saw this sign in Rustan’s Supermarket!
I went right away to check it out. Â It’s at the back parking area of Rustan’s Makati by the steel carpark
 How convenient that you can do your grocery and have a blow dry as well!  One stop!
So glad the owner was there, Lea Labre. Â She told me that she had just recently come back to the Philippines after living for a long time abroad. Â So this is her first business venture since she got back. Â Good luck and more power Lea!!
Received this from my good friend, Michele Dee.  I LOVE it that it’s manufactured with LOVE! 🙂  Good with bread, crackers, eggs or cheese, or with steak.

Yushoken is finally opening a Makati branch at V Corporate Center Soliman street Salcedo Village!!! Â What a relief! Â The Ramen boys go all the way to Alabang but now its so near us.
We went last Friday so it was not yet open but yesterday they opened to the public
 Here’s the Ramen Bar 🙂  Interiors by Noel Bernardo Soft opening Menu
In Japan Ramen bars, there are vending machines where you can choose your orders and push buttons and then you have to pay and get a receipt to claim your orders.  Here there is a manual version 🙂  So the first step when you enter is to pay for your orders with the cashier Then get your receipt/Claim stub which you have to give in the bar James goes all the way to Alabang to have this. Tsukemen Tokusei which has a fish broth.  I don’t really eat ramen but when I tried this, I liked it!!!  I am slowly getting to like ramen every time I go with the Ramen boys 🙂
Marvie introduced me to one of her good friends, Elaine. Â They are golfing buddies including their husbands. Â I am so happy to meet Elaine and spend time with these two very nice and lovely ladies.
We had a nice dessert brunch in Marvie’s place at 10am
 It was like we were having a degustation! haha!! But this time it was 4 dessert plates 🙂
 Elaine Tadena de Jesus  – the beautiful homebaker who prepared all the desserts for our brunch
Elaine used to be a singer in two girl bands, Tangerine and Sky.  Of course i asked her to sing for us 🙂
It was when she got married, her husband, Tootsie, asked her to bake for him!  During their trip to Turkey, they fell in love with Baklava and when they got home, Tootsie wanted more Baklava so he asked Elaine to learn how to make it! 🙂  “PUSHY HUSBAND!” haha!!!  That is our joking term for him.  So Elaine had to try many recipes until she perfected it.  After that she baked other things and now it’s a business 🙂
 Our desserts!
New York Cheesecake
 White Chocolate Cheesecake – I call this a Giant Oreo! 🙂
 A new creation and recently launch – Banana bread. YUM!  So moist!
 And here is the Baklava for Pushy husband, Tootsie 🙂  This is the cashew and it comes in Pistachio and Almonds
 I love her platter 😉  She is married to a de Jesus but unfortunately we are not related.  They are the de Jesus who owns a farm of chickens that lays the fresh eggs that goes into all the baked goodies of Elaine
Marvie served us a special Chinese tea to go with all the desserts we hadContact Elaine
So happy to see Marvie and her husband Hubert.  Hubert is the cousin of our very good family friend Tito Edwin and Tita Dorothy who we love so much 😉
 I visited their home 😉
Stockings of all the cousins
Marvie’s collections
 Plus collection of umbrellas! 🙂  She says they are always prepared because umbrellas always get lost somehow
 Golf clubs 🙂
 Marvie introduced me to her Abssynian Guinea Pigs!!  This is one of her hobbies.  She also sells Guinea pigs 🙂Â
The hair of these guinea pigs are really nice because she really takes care of them. Meet Lolo the stud 🙂  He rapes all the lady guinea pigs to breed them
Meet Beyonce the brown Guinea pig!  So pretty and she was pregnant at the time I visited them and a few days after she gave birth to two babies 🙂 Â
One of the secrets to having beautiful guinea pigs is feeding them the right food which is grass 🙂  They are the lawn mowers in the house.  So here you can see the patch where they ate 🙂  They should not be fed feeds but grass and the peels of fresh fruits and vegetables.  So they are good pets because they recycle the peels 🙂 at the same time it benefits their health and beauty 🙂
She has bunnies too 🙂 If you want to have a Guinea pig too, Pls contact for payment & pick up arrangements 09209030199 viber what’s app or email marvieswarehouse@yahoo.com
