THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Post-Christmas Sale at Pottery Barn

01.04.2015 by Leah //

It's officially the last day of my 2-weeks holiday vacation, and the start of the post-holiday (or end-of-season) sale in most stores here in Manila.  Ba't ba kung kelan ubos na ang year-end bonus eh doon nagse-sale?? Thankfully, I just did some serious de-cluttering at home and found a lot of items that I no longer need or didn't want to use anymore.  This taught me ... READ MORE

Cath Kidston (finally) opens in Manila!

12.06.2014 by Leah //

I may not be present at the opening of the first Cath Kidston store in Manila yesterday (k'se hindi naman ako invited, hehe!), but I made sure to check it out first thing today when it opens to the public.  I'm glad that AJ and I were there early; I was able to roam freely around the store and get a closer look at the merchandise (and take pictures too). Here's my #ootd ... READ MORE

Christmas Gift Ideas at The Landmark (Year 2)

12.02.2014 by Leah //

Just in case you are not finished yet with your Christmas shopping, and you don't have time anymore to look at bazaars for unique and affordable gift items, then check out The Landmark Department store in Makati for their myriad, pretty and really affordable gift items. Here are just some of the "few" items I spotted last weekend at the Home Section (4th floor) - with prices ... READ MORE

Going “Natural” this Christmas

11.11.2014 by Leah //

How are you with your Christmas shopping, folks?  Can't believe that we only have one month (and 4 15 days) before Christmas! I'm finally done shopping for my inaanaks last weekend, and have completed wrapping the gifts for my office colleagues.  I actually started last September pa, and every weekend I would look forward to wrapping some gifts for those in my Christmas ...

GIGA opens in Cebu!

10.10.2014 by Leah //

Good news to all GIGA fans in Cebu: no more waiting for your next trip to Manila to buy GIGA products, or for your friends to get them for you.  GIGA officially opened their first kiosk store at SM City Cebu last September! I first learned about GIGA through my sister-in-law, Juvvy of Mommy Juvs, who uses GIGA products on her and my nephew, Liam.  My family's personal ... READ MORE

Smitten with PiP

10.06.2014 by Leah //

A few days ago I featured this Dutch shop called PiP Studio which I likened to Cath Kidston because of their colorful and detailed prints and illustrations. Click here for my post on "PiP Studio". I was particularly drawn to their birds series, thus everything in my PiP Studio 'wish list' is adorned with these winged beauties: (Interested in the same products? ... READ MORE

PiP Studio

09.23.2014 by Leah //

If UK has Cath Kidston, then the Netherlands has PiP Studio. Ms. Ellen of The Pseudoshrink introduced me to this brand which, like Cath Kidston, has an extensive array of  pretty products ranging from kitchen items to home decorations to stationery and homewear, among others.  The brand is also known for its colorful and detailed illustrations of flowers and birds which I ...

The Travel Club’s Trade-In Sale

09.20.2014 by Leah //

The Travel Club's Trade-In Sale is on and will be having its last day tomorrow (Sunday)! I've been looking forward to this sale since we have 3 bags here that AJ and I no longer use and at the same time, we wanted to buy another Healthy Back Bag for our travels. With the Trade-In Sale, we can swap our used bags for new bags at really great discounts. Note, though, that ... READ MORE
