Question: What happens when the world's top coffee chain teams up with the world's most-sought-after notebook/diary brand?

The answer is ... THIS.

Yup, this Christmas was made extra special (and more classy) by our friends over at Starbucks Coffee as they launched the 2016 Planner in partnership with Moleskine. Paper fanatics will surely go crazy over this as we all know how amazing Moleskine notebooks are. I could hardly use mine though as I don't want to waste any page with my scratchy handwriting. Moleskine notebook paper has this touch-worthy smooth texture and that distinct "dirty white" shade with grey lines on every page.



In the midst of the digital age where actual desk calendars are being replaced by desktop calendars, paper books and magazines are turning to e-books and e-magazines respectively, I noticed though that people still love jotting down their to-dos and daily schedules on paper. Take my sister for example, despite being a loyal user of Evernote, Google Calendars and whatnot, her year will never be complete without having her Starbucks Coffee Planner where she records every single moment of her day. Might be something out of habit but when blackout strikes or no wi-fi is available in the vicinity, it's always good to go back to basic once in a while.

Small size planner is just slightly bigger than an iPhone 6!
Anyway, how can you resist this beautiful thing? This year's planner comes in two sizes and in four attractive colors -- black, red, green and white. I had my eyes on the red one since I first read about it. The red has this nice sexy hue which stands-out amidst all the black and white items I have in my bag yet it's such a classic shade that doesn't really call unnecessary attention to itself.

As you know, these precious planners gets redeemed so quickly so the question is -- how can you get your every own planner SOON? Easy peasy, simple purchase (9) Starbucks Holiday beverages (hot/cold/frappuccino) + (9) regular beverages excluding bottled beverages.

I know that getting your very own Starbucks x Moleskine planner is a treat on its own but the fun doesn't stop there. Take a peek inside your planner and you get these special coupons which you can redeem on the specified month from January to October 2016. It goes from getting a buy-one-get-one treat, a drink upgrade or free bag of coffee beans!

In addition to buying 18 drinks, you can also get your very own planner when you make a bulk purchase worth Php. 7,000. That would be something to consider if you planning your Christmas shopping. Also, every planner redeemed will be equivalent to a donation made by the company to their partner NGOs such as Teach for the Philippines and Philippines Educational Theater Association (PETA). Now, that truly bring out the true meaning of giving this Christmas, doesn't it?

Check out the Starbucks Coffee x Moleskine 2016 Planner in all Starbucks Coffee outlets nationwide. Have a happy ho-ho-holidays to all!

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

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
