Remember how Paul and I went to check out the MaArte Fair at The Peninsula Manila last year and while it's an annual fundraising event showcasing a perfected curated line up of local vendors and artists selling their home and fashion masterpieces, I stumbled upon two food finds namely Tsaa Laya  and Buen Provencho by O&M  as I was making my rounds then. This year, MaArte oPen House  will open on August 16 to 18, 2019, once again, at The Peninsula Manila  and they got not 1, not 2 but 6 exciting food vendors joining in the mix! We were so lucky to be invited to an intimate afternoon tea party where we got to sample some of the products that will be up on sale this coming weekend. There's Green Babes  which was established in 2011 and is the brainchild of good friends Bopeep Arroyo and Zerla Mayuga. They have been sourcing various delicious products all over the country and for MaArte oPen House , be ready to try their Organic Eggs which, I promise you, will blow

This weekend was pretty productive! I never thought home shopping could be both fun and stressful! For the past two days, I have been at SM Megamall checking out linens, bed covers, mattresses and a lot more! All these in preparation for our future rooms that need to be furnished pretty soon. I realized that no amount of time spent going over the beautiful pages of Real Living is enough to prepare me for the great battle... to be in front of close to a hundred choices. SM surely wasn't kidding when they said they got it all for us ! After our last shopping session today, I took some time out to chill out at The Stick House -- my newest discovery located at the basement of SM Megamall Bldg A. They have around 7 possible flavors and more combination as you first choose your stick -- would you like to get a gelato or a sorbet. Then you choose your toppings: Coffee, Hazelnuts, Almonds, Pistachio? You may also opt to dip your gelato stick into their delicious chocolate syrup.
