Shakes and Smoothies

By Heart2Heart | Health and Fitness, Recipes | 2 Comments

I loved the smoothie I had in Alive! In fact they had so many others to choose from

After lunch and the spa, I joined the workshop where they taught us how to make a healthy smoothie!

This is coconut juice which is not in the recipe

very very delicious and very simple to make and very healthy!!!

This reminded me of the juice my Mom has every morning!! It is more GREEN than this green smoothie of the Farm. And I think this is the secret to her youthfulness and energy! She has more energy than her kids all combined!! I call her the Energizer Bunny because she literally just keeps going and going and going! 🙂 This is her recipe. The cook prepares everything but she is the one who puts it in the blender/juicer herself EVERY MORNING! My Dad used to take this but he gave up but Mom continues to take it.

2 stalks celery

1/4 cucumber

1/4 ampalaya

1/2 green pepper (small) green capcicum

1 whole green apple

3 parts of broccoli

And this is my friend, Renee’s juice

And I received this in an email about healthy juices

Piaget Partners with AmfAR On the Inspiration Gala in Sao Paulo and in New York

Calvin Klein collection designer, Francisco Costa receives Piaget Award of Inspiration

Piaget is proud to support amfAR on their glamorous, Inspiration Gala series, with the latest being held in Sao Paulo, one of South America’s most dynamic cities. The glittering black tie affair honored Calvin Klein’s Francisco Costa, who received the Piaget Award of Inspiration from Hollywood leading lady, Claire Danes, in recognition of his extraordinary commitments to raising HIV/ AIDS awareness and advancing AIDS research.

The Gala dinner attracted a fashionable crowd including Brazilian supermodel Alessandro Ambrosio. Guests were treated to a live performance by singing sensation, Jennifer Hudson. She dazzled the room in a vintage cuff from Piaget, handcrafted in yellow gold with a jade dial, and a pair of yellow gold diamond and gemstone earrings.

James Franco Receives Piaget Award of Inspiration

For the second year in a row, Piaget partnered with amfAR to present the Inspiration Gala in New York. The black tie affair, held at the Museum of Modern Art, honored Oscar-nominated actor and artist, James Franco, and beloved fashion designer and Project Runway star, Michael Kors. Franco received the Piaget Award of Inspiration for his humanitarian work and contributions to men’s style. Kors received the amfAR Award of Courage for his leadership in the fight against AIDS. Piaget’s President of North America, Larry Boland stated, “We are very proud to honor James Franco with the Piaget Award of Inspiration. He is one of Hollywood’s most exciting actors- a true Renaissance man who inspires us all.”

The evening was a celebration of style and attracted many of New York’s most fashionable from the worlds of fashion and entertainment, including Jennifer Hudson, Liza Minnelli, Heidi Klum, Courtney Love, Judith Light, Chanel Iman, Kenneth Cole, Fabiola Beracasa and Olivia Palermo among others. One of the first to arrive was television host and Bravo superstar, Andy Cohen who donned a white gold Piaget Double Jeu for the evening. Celebrated chef, author and former wife of Billy Joel, Katie Lee, hit the red carpet in a vintage Lanvin gown accented by Piaget’s white gold, diamond and Akoya pearl cuff watch along with a pair of breathtaking Piaget diamond chandelier earrings.

Following cocktails, guests were seated for a formal menswear fashion show featuring custom looks from some of the world’s leading designers including Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Hugo Boss, Bottega Veneta, DSquared2 and Thom Browne. Piaget accessorized the runway looks with selected timepieces from its Black Tie, Altiplano and Piaget Polo Collections.

The evening’s dinner festivities featured a moving tribute to Elizabeth Taylor and an exciting live auction where the top selling item was a private photo shoot with James Franco.

The event marked the fourth in the Inspiration Gala series. For 2011, Piaget partnered with amfAR for 4 events for 2011, with New York last June 14^th at MOMA, followed by Paris last June 23^rd and Los Angeles for fall.

To date, the Inspiration Galas have raised more than $1 million for AIDS research.

Piaget is exclusively available at Rustan’s Silvervault Makati.

Congratulations Quito and Pam on your engagement!!! I can’t believe that my baby brother is finally getting married…..

…..but I am happy that he has chosen Pam, who I know is and will be good for my brother. Someone who will take care of him for the rest of his life…… and I know it Pam, because you have proven it once and that’s all it took to convince me

and I was even more convinced when I met Pam’s Mom, who is so soft spoken and looks really really nice. It’s our first time to meet Tita Chato who is from Dumaguete

And first time for us to meet Pam’s sister, Sandra, who is just as pretty as Pam! and she is still SINGLE!!! 🙂

A nice dinner prepared by Tosca at Dusit Thani Hotel. This is our second time to have dinner here, the first time being an engagement celebration as well…. seems to be a nice place to have a special and intimate celebrations

Plastic Bag in Hong Kong

By Heart2Heart | Green, Travel | One Comment

I totally forgot to bring my recyclable bag this trip! I try to travel light and lessen my handbag load so I had to pay for all the bags I used when buying groceries or in Watsons! 🙂 So make sure to always have a recyclable bag!
