April showers bring May flowers

06.12.2016 by Leah //

Sweet April showers. Do spring May flowers. - Thomas Tusser, 1557 I will forever remember May 2016 as the month where I celebrated a lot of milestones - at work mostly, but it's also my wedding anniversary month so I'm really overflowing with love and gratefulness! Let me share with you some of last month's highlights: A tour of the National Museum of the ... READ MORE

A Week-Long (Free) Vacation

11.21.2015 by Leah //

Where and how did you spend your APEC week vacation? I spent mine mostly at home; taking the days off as opportunity to catch up on cleaning and to do the things that were forever in my to-do lists. It was not purely R&R though; I have to check my office email at least once a day to see if there are urgent matters to attend to, update reports and review our ... READ MORE

Oh, Love Co: Lovelier the 2nd Pair Around

12.14.2014 by Leah //

The last time I bought myself shoes was last year, and it a yummy purple ballet shoes from Oh, Love Co., aptly called First Love: You can read about my First Love pair HERE. I knew from the first time I wore my ube-colored flats that this was not the last time I will buy from Oh Love.  I secretly wished for a black ballet flats with bows on top so I can finally put to ...

Easter Sale!

04.19.2014 by Leah //

There is an ongoing sale (and a BIG sale at that) at my site partners' online stores, and I am so tempted to buy, buy, buy even if I don't have an immediate need for them because, alam nyo na, sayang ang sale hehe! But I think these purchases can be justified as 'investments', particularly for my "travel essentials".  You see, AJ and I are seriously thinking of traveling to ... READ MORE

“Oh, Love” Shoes are here!

10.24.2013 by Leah //

I love wearing ballet flats!  Now that I'm getting older, it's no longer advisable for me to wear high and stiletto heels (yea, I used to wear those!).  But I am very picky when it comes to buying them ballet flats because: (1) I have wide feet and (2) the shoes have to be really soft or else I won't last a day wearing them. For the longest time, only my black ballet pumps ... READ MORE

BOGO Sale at Payless.com

09.05.2013 by Leah //

For a limited time, Payless.com in the US is having a Buy One, Get One (BOGO) Sale covering ALL their merchandise! I was browsing through pages and pages of shoes from their online catalog and I instantly liked these 2 pairs: The crocheted slip-on shoes from Airwalk is so cute and dainty, while the navy blue-and-white strip design of Rugged Outback's rain boots is ...

My Wish List at Zalora…

08.02.2013 by Leah //

Today I was inspired to create a collage similar to Daphne's collages which she features regularly in her blog.  I always look forward to seeing the lovely items that she would put up together, and I don't know how she does it but they always look well curated.  So I hope she won't mind me doing something similar for my blog because I, too, loves creating picture ...

Sweet Birthday Gifts

02.13.2013 by Leah //

It's been a week since my birthday and I am still feeling high over the (almost) week-long celebration I had!    Not to mention the sweet gifts I got from my family and friends =) From AJ, I got this FitFlop pair in perfect pewter color.  I've been eyeing this pair for some time and I'm so happy I now have it! I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs.   It's ... READ MORE

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
