There’s been a backlog of blog posts ever since the house move, so I’d just like to give the heads-up to the following products I tried recently:
Havaianas…. I Heart! Summer is for flip-flops and I adore the pairs of Havaianas I got recently, especially the one with “Blogger Ajay” spelled out on the straps. The latter is a result of the “Make Your Own Havaianas” event I attended recently in the Rockwell Tent. In the past, I would have shunned a signature brand for my tsinelas (slippers) since it’s just tsinelas anyway. But I like how Havaianas lets you express your individuality with a large selection of styles to choose from. At the “Make Your Own Havaianas,” you can embellish your slip-ons with Swarovski studs, letters in the alphabet or symbols like headphones and further customize them with lacinhos (“little laces”). The Rockwell Tent was filled to the brim with Havaianas fans and am sure next year’s event will be another hit.
D & G IS FOR DAVID & GOLIATH! I love my PJ’s and I blog, in fact, in my pajamas. So when David & Goliath gave bloggers like moi a chance to try their products, I didn’t choose a tee but their pajama line. Yes, they do have them and unkempt me is shown here wearing their “I Only Have Ice For You ” PJ. Don’t really know what this means (since am not turning frigid anytime soon :D) but David & Goliath has made a name for their wry sense of humor anyway. The brand recently unveiled their Little Losers line-up where you can choose from tags like “Mr. Fartface,” “Mr. Tightwad” and ” Ms. Spoiled Brat.” Hurray! They even have a “Bloggers Suck” tee. David & Goliath has freestanding stores in Bonifacio High Street, Power Plant Mall, TriNoma, Robinsons Place Midtown, Greenbelt 5 and inside Rustan’s Makati.
Zen Zest is a Filipino home and beauty brand I patronize. Bought in fact their room and linen fragrance as gifts last Christmas.Their publicist Claire recently gave me their coconut conditioner and shampoo to try and am now using it. I guess they got me at the word ‘coconut’ and I just love the familiar coconut scent. For Father’s Day, Zen Zest is offering a 20 per cent discount off special packages of their coconut oil and aromatherapy items. Check it out!
My favorite breakfast at the moment is the McDonald’s Hamdesal. You know how some people say that McDonald’s bread wins over Jollibee? Well,a m simply floored (floured?) by their pan de sal version. It comes in ham, ham & cheese, & ham & egg flavor. W00t! The best things in life cost less than a dollar (39 pesos), with free coffee to boot!
Oooh love those personalized slippers! I’d put siguro “Wifely Steps.” Hahaha!
ayan pala ang sample ng hava na yan ha. chipipay ako kaya spartan pa rin nabili ko dun sa palengke, hehehe
Hi Tones. Oo nga ang hirap mag-isip ng ilalagay..ang haba ng pila at ang daming tao..kung ano na lang maisip, hahaha. Wifely Steps is nice..it’s taking it literally.. as in “one (Havaianas) step at a time;)
Hi Keng. Ako rin naman Spartan/Havana girl…but some Havaianas wouldn’t hurt either. Am collecting tsinelas that’s why 😀
I love David & Goliath too! I have a few of their tees, my favorite one being the “You Go Girl, and Don’t Come Back!” one. :p
As for Havaianas, eck, I have too many to mention.
Hi Lori. A friend gave me D & G long before it launched here in the Philippines..I think it was “good in the sack” 😀
Am not one to go crazy over signature brands, so yes I’d think twice before stocking up on Havaianas 😉
Ahem, “I only have ice for you” is a pun from a classic popular song, “I Only Have Eyes For You”.
Good Song 😉
/lecture off 😛
Yes, we know it’s a pun, that’s for sure 😛
Is it on Eye-Tunes?
