Oh Lulu Belle!

"Hi Fran! You should try Lulu Belle here in Rockwell, it's so pink! You'll love it."
This was the message sent to me by a friend who knows just how much I love the color pink. I quickly replied back asking her what is Lulu Belle and where exactly it's located. Thanks to my friend and fellow bloggers Anton and Lori, I found out that Lulu Belle is the newest venture of the FIC group.

"It's FIC's newest dessert place that specializes in yogurt. It's located at the top floor where the billiard and bowling center used to be"
 My jaw dropped as I read my friend's reply. What?! Has it been that long since I've been to the Powerplant Mall? I'm really intrigued and excited to check both the mall and Lulu Belle out.

This afternoon, Paul and I found ourselves strolling around the mall. We made our way from the ground floor up to the newest area that houses a number of stores for kids and (perhaps even for) the kids at heart.



I love the facade of each store with tall glass doors and signages displayed up high. Right in the middle is the new Kidz Station where we saw a lot of tiny tots happily running around. Finally, I saw Lulu Belle. True enough, the store has a very clean, pink and white ambiance with a cute logo of a happy looking flying cow in between the names "Lulu" and "Belle".

We entered the store and were warmly greeted by a team of servers donning pink and white checkered aprons. I guess it was pretty obvious that it was our first time, perhaps our confused looks on the menu easily gave ourselves away. Thankfully, one helpful server offered to give us a sample of each yogurt flavor to make it easily for us to choose. Trying the strawberry, natural and green tea, I liked the strawberry yogurt the best. It has just the right amount of sweetness against the naturally sour taste of the yogurt. The green tea was a bit too powerful that I was a bit overwhelmed with the sweet, sour and bitter taste all mixed into one tiny cup. Finally, I had my chosen flavor.

The next step was to choose whether I want it served in a cup or blended as a smoothie. I figured out that I might as well get it in its natural form on my first visit.


The third and final step was to choose a topping. I'd say, this was pretty challenging. With more than twelve toppings to choose from, I had a hard time choosing just one that I ended up with two of my favorites instead: almonds and frosties.

Finally, my cup of yogurt was served:

Hooray!!

Ohh..I love the creaminess of the yogurt! I really enjoyed digging into my cup as Paul and I continued our window shopping around the mall. I guess I was loving it so much and once again, it showed that Paul couldn't resist but to take a couple of scoops from the cup for himself. (hehehe)

I love you pink Lulu Belle Ü

Lulu Belle is located at the 3rd floor of the Power Plant Mall (Playground Section).

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
