THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels from Sophie’s Mom

03.25.2012 by Leah //

This is our favorite breakfast food lately:  Cinnamon Raisin Bagels from Sophie's Mom! I finally got one of their fancy pastry boxes!  I love the combination of red and baby blue colors in their monogram logo. The bagels are big and full and packed inside.  I prefer them slightly toasted before eating.   They're oh-so-good I could finish a whole piece in one ... READ MORE

1st Blog Give-Away Winner!

03.25.2012 by Leah //

Congratulations to Ms. Rebecca Nunez!   She won our 1st blog give-away! In her email entry, Rebecca said that she liked most my posts about weddings - and she enjoyed reading about my suppliers' ratings and my posts about celebrity weddings too!  Her entry made me reminisce about our wedding preparations last year, which actually started this blog.  This blog was created ...

Better than Magnum Ice Cream

03.23.2012 by Leah //

Much has been said about Magnum Ice Cream and the hype it created - thanks to Twitter and Facebook, and getting gorgeous models to promote this high-calorie sweet (check out Chuvaness' story about the big launch). Like the many others, we immediately bought some as soon as they became available.  I got the almond flavor while AJ opted for the classic one. The ... READ MORE

Purple Oven {Revisited}

03.21.2012 by Leah //

Last Saturday AJ and I chose to hear mass at the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.   It felt really good to be back there after a long while.  Of course, a visit to this Shrine won't be complete without dropping by at Purple Oven, which I blogged about last year but surprisingly is still getting more page views than all of my food posts combined hehe! Armed with ... READ MORE

351 blog posts... 80,000+ page views and... 30 followers (and still counting...) It's been an amazing year and I wish to thank everyone for reading my posts!   I can't believe that my 1-year old blog has registered more than 80,000 page views in just a year!   That makes me so happy! And because it's The Bright Spot's 1st birthday, I will be giving away Human Nature ... READ MORE

Book Clutches by Olympia Le-Tan

03.18.2012 by Leah //

Olympia Le-Tan is a genius!  Who would have thought that felt-appliqued canvas clutch bags in the shape of books would be such a hit?    The book clutches serve as beautiful homage to some of literature's best books and celebrities have been seen carrying some of these "intellectual" clutches at the red carpet.  Truly a style pop wonder! Here are some in my "book list" (all ... READ MORE

Bag of Beans

03.17.2012 by Leah //

We celebrated my dad's 65th birthday last Monday at Tagaytay City.   We left Manila at around 9:00 a.m. and was there just before lunch time.    After taking a short tour of People's Park, we headed off to Bag of Beans for a late lunch (side story:   we were supposed to eat at ViewPoint but could not find it so we ended up here). This is not the first time I've been to Bag ... READ MORE

Pretty in Rose

03.15.2012 by Leah //

Rose Gold is the precious metal at the moment.   Net-A-Porter is currently showcasing fine jewelry online and I fell in love with these enchanting but modern pieces made of hard-to-find rose gold: Arabesque 18-karat rose gold diamond ring from Diane Kordas:     Filigrana 9-karat rose gold lace earrings by Laurent Gandini: Arrow 18-karat rose gold diamond necklace by Anita ...
