THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Can’t have enough of Longchamp!

05.12.2013 by Leah //

I know, I know. I have said before that 2 Longchamp Le Pliage bags are enough for me.   But I couldn't resist buying a third one when I learned that my officemate is selling them at really friendly prices (almost the same price as my first Longchamp bag which I won at eBay). And since my 2 Longchamp bags are both in short handles, I decided my 3rd bag will be in long ... READ MORE

Ritual: An Organic Grocery Store

05.09.2013 by Leah //

AJ and I were at The Collective again last Friday (after my work)  for a repeat meal at Wingman.  This time, we were  in the company of my cousin, Mae Anne and my second mommy, Mommy Caro, who is also one of our wedding Ninangs. Here they are  getting ready to devour the chicken wings! We had a big, big dinner at Wingman.  We ordered 2 dozens of  chicken wings, a salad, 2 ... READ MORE

Alphabet Stamps

05.04.2013 by Leah //

I seriously got carried away with this stamping project I did 2weeks ago that I have started my own collection of wood-mounted rubber stamps! And look what I found at 168 Mall last Wednesday:  alphabet stamps!  I got myself 3 sets in different typefaces.  Had there been more typefaces available I would have probably gotten them all, too! I found them at the same stall ... READ MORE

Summer Heat Relief Efforts

05.01.2013 by Leah //

I did a little shopping last weekend to help me combat the heat wave we're having right now: Although I always have my hair in a bun using big hair claws,  I still feel hot and uncomfortable. With the weather at 34-36 degrees Celsius everyday, the simple hair bun doesn't help anymore.  So I tried a mid-high hair bun using the hair claws and while that greatly helped in ... READ MORE

NOVICA, the online shop with largest collection of artisan handcrafted jewelry, including pearl, turquoise and handmade silver treasures is now a site partner of The Bright Spot.   I fell in love with their jewelry collection the first time I saw them and I know you would too.  And for something that's handmade, they're not that expensive. Below are some of my favorites from ... READ MORE

A Treasure Trove at 10A Alabama

04.17.2013 by Leah //

Last Sunday, AJ and I braved the summer heat to check out the Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair at 10A Alabama Street.  I've read countless blog posts about this fair which is like a treasure trove of handmade and DIY products by creative and resourceful artists.  Here you will find lots of paper craft, handmade jewelry, craft materials, handmade dolls, etc.   You will also find ...

Shopping Galore at 168 Mall Divisoria

04.12.2013 by Leah //

I love Divisoria!  This is my shopping mecca for clothes, housekeeping items, art and craft materials and everything in between.  Like other 168 Mall shoppers, I am drawn not only to the variety of commodities available and their wholesale prices but the place itself - it's clean, organized and air-conditioned, just like in a mall! What I enjoy most in shopping at 168 Mall ... READ MORE

Menggay’s Kasoy (Cashew Nuts)

03.28.2013 by Leah //

My family and I were at Antipolo City earlier for our annual Station of the Cross reading.  It has been a tradition of ours to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage / Immaculate Concepcion Parish at Antipolo every Maundry Thursday, even if it means traveling 1.5 to 2-hours from our home in Makati. After the reading and offering of prayers to Our ... READ MORE
