(*wink) source: Starbucks Philippines Like last year they included a stainless tumbler and a coffee mug.. This year we are in for two exciting tumblers. Collecting of stickers starts on November 2, 2022.  

Yes, you read this right:  Fashion styling for women at 50 (and above).  As women enter perimenopause or menopause there are changes in body shape and composition.  But that does not mean we cannot be fashionable anymore (me included coz I am 50.. haha).  As years pass by each of us,  did a lot of fashion experiments, there are hits and miss.  But the bottom line is  we already know what's our signature fashion style really is.   Arms and stomach are typically the areas that we are worried about.  What's important in styling is to highlight your assets and conceal your flaws.  If you are not confident with your abdominal area you can wear an A-line dress.  Big arms?  Don't go for sleeveless top.    Basics are our BFFs: Trousers, jeans, blazers, crisp white top, jacket and the popular LBT (little black dress).  These pieces will not fade away.  source google.com source: Google.com Don't be afraid of colo...

@everydaywithmochi Still on high with the recent achievement of my baby boy - Mochi.  I am so grateful to Club Media Asia Inc.,  Zoetis Pet Care PH and Simparica Trio for this one of a kind opportunity for inviting Mochi to be a part of the 50 Most InPawential Dogs of 2022.  This event was in line with the 1st Anniversary of Simparica Trio here in the Philippines. Meet the rest of the Most InPawential Dogs of 2022: The two day event (photoshoot) was held last October 4 & 5, 2022 at Bulb Studios.   It was a fun shoot.  At first Mochi was a little afraid (of course it was his first time): I carried, whispered to him ("Just pose and smile at the camera my love.") and assured him that Mum will not leave.   Being the most obedient boy: when I put him down he started posing (with the help of his fave squeeky plushy that we normally use whenever I take his photos at home) . And that was a proud moment for mama.   Mochi met Zeus an American...

When running out of space on your iPhone?  I recently discovered this Kingston Data Traveler Bolt Duo flash drive for Apple iPhone and iPad.  When your iCloud and iPhone memory reaches it's full capacity you really need to have a flash drive to back up your photos and videos.  While Android users can easily use USB-c flash drives, for Apple users it's hard because there are no flash drives with lightning connectors before.  Well now there are a lot of these lightning connectors flash drives available in the market.  Kinda felt like a  yesterday person because I just learned about this Kingston flash drive with lighting connector. (haha). - Better late then never, right?! To use this, you need to download the Kingston bolt application on the Apple app store.  After installing the application you can now connect the Bolt drive in your iPhone or iPad. With the Kingston bolt you can transfer, capture and view the things that your backed up on your USB driv...

source: Google Maltipoo is a popular cross breed between maltese and toy or miniature poodle.  Even though they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) (because they are not pure bred) these dogs are considered designer breeds.    I have a Maltipoo and his name is Mochi. He is two years old now and I wanted to share my experiences with him if you are planning to get one. Here are the 10 things you need to know in owning a Maltipoo: Low shedding - that is why they are considered a hypoallergenic breed.  It does not shed that much so they are safe for allergy sufferers.  Based on my experience, some members of my family have allergies including me but luckily we don't have allergy attacks having a maltipoo in our home.  As per AKC there is no such thing as a 100% hypoallergenic dog.  Dander which is attached to a pet hair is what causes most dog allergies in people.  Since Maltipoo's coat is silky and soft it allows dander to fall out....
