Fun Divi Finds ...



I went to 168 Mall in Divisoria today and these cute erasers brought out the kid in me. There were so many designs to choose from. These were my top 3 faves. Best of all, only P25/set. 



These bright and colorful SPORKS caught my eye in one of the stalls of 168. This 3-in-1 (Spoon + Fork + Knife) set is fun and functional for only P70. 



Last week, we were at the HK airport when I spotted these pocket-sized chocolate treats. The Hershey's Extra-Creamy Milk Chocolate Pearls had a chunkier texture compared to the smooth and luscious Godiva Milk Chocolate Pearls but the Hershey's pearls are only 10 calories per piece! Yey!

Grocery Goodies ...


This week's grocery finds ... 


These baked Goldfish Graham Snacks from Pepperidge Farm have become our new fave snack. Mom-approved: made with Whole Grain and No Artificial Preservatives. To create the S'mores - stack the Honey Graham and Chocolate Graham with a goldfish Marshmallow in the middle! 
Price: P99.50 - SM Hypermarket 



Found this creamy, great tasting Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream by Tillamook at S&R (BGC). Best served in-between freshly baked Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies! A definite must try! 



We are a family that loves cheese and that includes our 5 year old daughter. I really like the new flavored cheese cubes from The Laughing Cow because they are easy to take along during road trips. Available in a variety of flavors: Onion, Ham, Bleu Cheese, Plain and Curry. 
Price: P102/ box of 15 cubes - SM Hypermarket



I can't wait to try the Apple and Sage Pork Chops, Spanish Chicken Skillet and Garlic Lime Chicken Fajita Spice Mixes from McCormick Recipe Inspirations. These pre-measured spices with recipe cards make cooking quick and easy. Price: P85.50 /pack -  Rustan's Supermarket

The first of my Fab Finds ...

I have been travelling a lot lately and my favorite toiletry kit has seen better days. I was at the mall during lunch and I saw these really pretty travel kits at Beabi that I had to have. I bought this 2-piece set for P 795. 

This Magnetic Key Holder always gets compliments. I purchased this at Dimensione, Boni High Street. I kinda wish I bought more to give as presents to family and friends. Price: P1,500

By far the best Chocolate Chip cookie mix I have tried! My daughter and I enjoy baking these because all you need is half a stick of butter and 1 egg. The cookies come out chewy and they are sooo delicious, we like dunking them in a glass of cold milk. Available at S&R (BGC).
We usually walk over to the nearby mall for our lunch break and get back smelling not-so-fresh after being out. I found this personal smoke and odor eliminator at True Value, Powerplant Mall for P250 that does the trick. I'm always just a spray away from smelling clean and fresh.
 I 
I have been hunting for a waterproof and smudge-proof eyebrow powder. A friend of mine recommended a specific brand at Beauty Bar called Christian because she had been using it and was happy with the results. It is easy to apply and is true to its promise. I like Irid Brown among all the available colors. Price: P1,395

A must have for mosquito magnets like me. MoskiShield Mosquito Repellent Patches are available at major groceries and even at National Bookstore. These patches are 100% Natural and DEET free. I really like the scent because it is not overpowering like some other mosquito repellents and the designs are cute too! Price: P149.75/ box of 3 packs

Choco-on-the-go!  I found this pocket-sized Meiji milk chocolate at Waltermart. Now, I buy these every time I go grocery shopping. This is a great little pick-me-up during a busy work day. Price: P40/ box
Another Beauty Bar find - These handy Post-It type Lint Removing Sheets are a fashion staple for me because I wear black to work everyday. Just the right size for your bag or makeup kit. Price: P285 for a pack of 2 




  
An officemate brought some Snyder's Honey Mustard and Onion Pretzel Pieces to work one day and I've become hooked since. Good thing I can get my regular supply from Rustan's Makati or SM Hypermarket - Price: P51.50 



I sampled several brands of Choco Pie just to find out which one I like best and I have to say that I prefer the Orion brand. What makes this my favorite is that it has the perfect combination of chocolate, cake and marshmallow and doesn't fall apart when I bite into it ... how can I resist? Only P 64.50 for a box of 6. Available in all major grocery stores.
