Belle De Jour 2019 Launch Weekend Event - A Fun-filled Experience



   Last October 20 - 21,2018, Belle De Jour launched their 2019 collection in a magic-filled weekend event. I expected a lot beforehand since they have been teasing everyone about the activities the attendees will experience throughout the weekend. In addition, the schedules they made all of us pick was good to get us all pumped up. From workshops, tarot card reading, glitter tattoos, to self development talks, I couldn't sleep for days in excitement.


I went last Sunday, October 21, since I had work the day before. It was a bummer, really, that I only got to attend the last day since my ticket is good for two days. Moreover, both days have different events so it was really best to come in both so you can experience everything. Nevertheless, my experience was still worth it.

 First, the event location was big enough to fit everything. I was skeptical at first because it was held inside a mall. I thought that with all the events they had lined up, the location wouldn't be able to be enough. However, Estancia Mall was perfect. The place was really spacious and everything was placed smoothly. The booths were side to side with each other but the space was still breathable. 


To be honest, I loved everything. From their setup to their photo booths. Plus, the tickets they gave had the schedule we picked beforehand. There were also stubs for claiming the perks ticket holders can get - photobooths, tarot card reading, free Baskin Robbins ice cream, bag stamping, and many more. The activities that I loved, on the other hand was the Goldilocks Cake Decorating, Tarot Card Reading, and the IG photography lessons by Kenneth Amparo. 


Here are some of the photos from the event. The Tarot reading was really entertaining since they asked us to give three questions and they will answer thoroughly through the cards. And since I'm an avid horoscope reader, I really loved the reading. Although, everything you hear should not be taken very seriously. Remember, you make your own fate. *wink wink*


I had my scoop of coffee...sorry, I forgot the flavor, lol. But I loved it though. HAHA. I'm just the kind of girl who forgets the name of the food but remembers the taste. So please bear with me. 


We also met some new friends in the event. Kudos to all the event organizers since they made the launch an interactive one! I had so much fun connecting with other people as much as enjoying the workshops.


Lastly, here is my masterpiece. Yup, what an artist, right? Lol. I know it's a disaster but I loved the experience. That's what matters, right?

To end this, I did a little clip to give you a little taste of my experience from the Belle De Jour 2019 launch.

Taters x Cheetos: Cheetofied Perfection


Last Wednesday, January 25, 2016, Taters Enterprises, Incorporation and Cheetos held an event "Taters Cheetos Snack Fest" in Glorietta 2 Activity Center to announce the collaboration that would make cheese and snack lovers jump for joy. It was filled up with good music, ambiance and food that the guests surely enjoyed, including me, of course.


The place was filled with decorations which seemed like you were in a "fiesta" inside the mall. A lot of people can be seen excitedly chattering and trying out the different snacks offered. Game booths are also available in the place which is really incredible because it brought fun to the whole experience.


The whole event will not be compete without a program, of course. It was the main highlight of the day. They introduce each snacks with interactive videos and games. Overall, it was really a surreal night.

In this big celebration, they showed the five different scrumptious and delectable cheetofied snacks that has the traditional Taters pop and cheese melting Cheetos crunch combination. These snacks include:

*Drumroll please*

CRUNCH N' POP


You know when you're in a movie and have your usual popping Taters popcorn which gives the whole experience another level of satisfaction? Well, with Crunch n' Pop, you'll have more than what you expect. Imagine a Cheetos- flavored popcorn with Cheetos itself, a Cheetofied experience indeed! In my experience, pairing this up with a good ol' softdrink is a way to go!

CRUNCHY OVERLOAD



This is the most classic and familiar snack combination for me since I love fried potatoes so much. (Hello, french fries). Crunchy Overload is the epitome of its name, full of crunch. With Cheetos flavored Tater chips and Cheetos crunchy, you're mouth will be left with the crunch of joy and cheese.

CHEETOS CHICK-A-CHIPS



Ahh, my second favorite snack among the five variations. Cheetos Chick-N- Chips includes a perfectly fried combination of chicken fingers, Cheetos crunchy, and Cheetos Tater chips. All of this are balanced with Cheetos dip - a melted cheese dip. I find this snack complete and balance which is really great for long hangout periods.

 CHEETOS FISH N' CHIPS


This snack is almost the same as the Cheetos Chick-n-Chips, but instead of chicken they included fish in this food variation. The reason why I loved Cheetos Chick- N- Chips more is because I want chicken more than fish. It's based on your preferences, really. Nevertheless, this is also a delicious and worth-it snack.
CHEETOS BBQ CRUNCH DOG


This, my dear readers, is my personal favorite. It's a combination of Cheetos- Flavored Chips and Beef Hotdog topped with Coney Island Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Cheetos Dressing and Cheetos Crunchy. I love this snack because of the tinged of spiciness which the hotdog have. Its the perfect partner for the Cheetos- Flavored chips. Plus, this is more of a meal than a snack because you'll be full after one serving which is really worth every penny.

 Are you hungry, yet? 

I am!

Don't worry!

The cheesy fun doesn't stop in Taters stores because the Cheetos Snack Fest has loads of surprises on Taters' facebook and Instagram accounts, so make sure to go online and follow us (@taters.snackleague) - they're giving VIP passes, Chester Plushies, and prizes galore!

What are you waiting for? Come live the dangerously cheesy life with Taters and Cheetos! Promo is on a limited-run from January 25 to May 15, 2017.

La Dolce Vita With New Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut


Calling out all Chocolate lovers, you'll definitely love this post.

Take a moment to imagine this.

The sun streaks break through the window aligning your bed suggesting that it's morning already. You hear a "Creeeak" as you move to change your position hoping to extend your sleep. A blaring "TUUT TUUT TUUT" jolted you from your sleep as your phone starts its alarm. Grunting slightly, you get up to start your day. As you make your way to your kitchen, you smell the aroma of roasted, buttery hazlenut and creamy chocolate. Alas, you see a freshly hot Swiss Miss chocolate cup waiting for you. Ahh, a great start for a great day.



Last November 25, 2016, Friday, Swiss Miss released its latest flavor - Chocolate Hazelnut. A mix of hazlenut and chocolate which creates a drool-worthy hot chocolate. 



This flavor - Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut - is symbolized by "La Dolce Vita" which is an Italian phrase for "the sweet life". It's also known as the Italian's celebration for their passion, romance and life's luxuries which embodies this new flavor.


And with "La Dolce Vita", Swiss Miss - the world-famous chocolate powder drink, introduces its newest flavor - Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut -  which represents the romance and passion of Italy.
This affordable treat for chocolate lovers can be experienced in every way you can imagine - from hot and cold to adding it in your dessert to on-the-go beverage.


Cathy Castro, the Swiss Miss Asia marketing manager, states that "We are proud that the Philippines is the first ever country in the world to try this new flavor. The new Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut flavor is truly a very exciting flavor because of hazelnut's unique taste and aroma."


The first ever global Swiss Miss ambassador who lives "La Dolce Vita" is none other than Anne Curtis, the princess of all media - an actress, host, and award-winning endorser.


"Work is important, but we should also allow ourselves the well-deserved indulgence by enjoying life and rewarding ourselves after hard-won victories - big or small. With Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut, this is possible anywhere - at work, at home or even while travelling!," said Anne.


Experience La Dolce Vita by enjoying life's little pleasures and rewarding yourself with the new Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut.


Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut is now available in leading stores and supermarkets nationwide. For more updates, visit Swiss Miss Philippines on Facebook and follow them on instagram @SwissMissPH.

Madison Galeries Mall: A New Attraction in Alabang


Luxurious feel, clean design, and tons of shops and restaurants to visit...

Madison Galeries just launched it's grand opening last September 13, 2016. It's a new lifestyle mall built by Wamrus (TKG) Realty, Inc. located at 398 Don Jesus Blvd, Cupang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila. It's easily accessible by both commuters and car owners.

How to get there:

It took me 45 minutes to get there from SM Sucat, the meeting place my friend and I decided. We went there smoothly using UBER but I know a way to commute there (if you don't have a car and don't want to take a cab) using sucat road; just ride an FX to Sucat Highway (ranges from 15-40 pesos depends on where you are) and jeepney to Alabang (it will pass by Madison Galeries).

Just to make sure that you're not going to get lost, here's a map:

The mall has a very luxurious and welcoming feel to it which make you want to dine and hangout with your loved ones. The structure and position of shops are not confusing at all since it has a box design. I like it that way because it's so frustrating as a customer to get lost inside when you really want to just chill and have fun.

View from the balcony

 Moreover, the balcony is amazing because the view is great. In addition, Madison Galeries is placed in a peaceful location, void of irritating street noises. It would be amazing if restaurants are placed there so as people who want to have that romantic date can appreciate it.



I don't have tons of pictures on the interior of the mall but as you can see here, it really has that clean look going on. Plus, the lights are not irritating to the eyes. What I first noticed when I entered was THE TILES. It's gorgeous. It balances the minimal design of the mall, making it look elegantly beautiful.

So what you need to know as a customer, is the shops and restaurants you can find there.

Here are the list of their partners so far:



 They have fitness, food, banks, salons, grocery and even DAISO (yaaay). So I guess I would definitely go back since it's close to where I live.

Just a quick run-through to the grand opening I went to. It's actually the first event I was invited into as a blogger so I'm really happy about this. It was a very successful event; great food, program and freebies.

Dunkin Donuts Thermos Mug (Idk how to call it haha) - on-the-go hot coffee or tea
Umbrella
Sleeping Bag from Outdoor Gear - Great for outdoor adventures
Gift Certificates from Boulangerie 22 (Restaurant for cakes and pastries), Isabella Nail Salon & Foot Spa, and Manila's Best Coffee
