I love Weekend Markets. It is a place where you can discover new finds and new things to try. It is filled with budding entrepreneurs, passionate to share their new found baby to the world in terms of product and services. It is a good place to check out new food trends that will eventually be the next big thing.


I was invited to the 6th Mandala Park Weekend Market. Mandala Park is Litton and Co.'s wide and green open space which is transformed to a weekend market every month. It aims to treat visitors to a slew of homegrown merchants that is eager to promote the local culinary scene.


The merchants that weekend was well curated and diverse. There were different stalls that offer international food fare that will surely satisfy your craving.

Snacking is one part of our eating habit. Sometimes, because of our busy life, we settle for snacks that are high in calories like fast food and processed food. Fret not because Mug Shots are now available in the Philippines! They are tasty and at the same time convenient to eat. No, you don't need a mugshot and feel guilty while eating these snacks

If you follow my blog, you have read my view of Saladbox and my not so good experience. I have long forgiven and forgotten about my not so good experience with them and decided to move on, yet a box on my doorstep is a big surprise. It's like an ex who suddenly pops out of the blue and revives all the feelings you have that were long buried deep in your heart.


A pink box came in on the latter part of January. Let's just say that Saladbox's courier was too busy that they delivered their holiday box too late. Whatever reason they have, the important thing is my 3/4 Saldbox subscription came. And the redeeming factor, which made me giddy and excited all over, was it was a dainty Benefit box.


Saladbox teamed up with world renowned brand, Benefit for their holiday box. Saladbox have hinted the collaboration in their social media sites, and I was one happy gal because I was one of the few (I guess) who got these boxes. Let's take a peek of what's inside this dainty pink box:

Food Bazaars and Hawker Weekend Markets are sprawled everywhere and shaping up the foodie scene. For a limited number of days, you get to choose from a variety of dishes from different vendors at an affordable price. Most of the vendors that join these bazaars are budding entrepreneurs that has a product they wish to test out in the market.


On their second installment, Valero Eat Street is again opening their doors to eager foodies to give them a glimpse of the food scene in Salcedo. The foodie festival was held at Signa Residences Makati, a posh residential place squeezed in Makati CBD. Valero Eat Street is at the al-fresco atrium of Signa Residences, which made the whole deal comfortable despite the scorching humid heat.


Of course, I can't pass this opportunity up when Zomato invited me as one of their VIP guest to check out the scene. It is literally a foodie's dream! Here's what's waiting for us VIPs that day:

Another Zomato Foodie Meet-up!

I love going to Zomato foodie meet-ups because I get to know other fellow foodies and bond over good food. So despite my crazy schedule, I was able to squeeze some time and marched to Greenbelt for a foodie meet-up.


Mr. Pizza is considered Korea's number 1 pizza chain. They have hundreds of branches in Korea until they decided to bring it here in the Philippines. Mr. Pizza Greenbelt is the first branch here in the Metro. I only have heard of Mr. Pizza, thanks to SNSD's Lion Heart video. I was wondering  about the difference of a Korean pizza as compared to our own local pizza.


As you enter the place, you'll  be greeted with a pizza counter where they make the pizza and a loft seating area at the left side. We were ushered to the loft area which was overlooking the pizza counter. You can clearly view how your pizza's gonna be made. My lion tummy was excited! Here are some of the items we tried that night:

Beauty Treatments have been on the rise because more and more people (including men) have been consciously making an effort to be aesthetically pleasing to one's eye. Gone are the days that you have to go under the knife just to get the instant results you want. With the advancement of technology, the rise of Radio Frequency and Laser treatments are one of the known treatments to address pressing beauty concerns with less downtime, non-evasive and instant results.


Clarence Dermatology Center is one of the beauty clinics that specializes in anti-aging, slimming, and other dermatological issues. They've been up and running since 2009, personally managed by dermatologist Dra. Joan Clarence Morallo.

I remember 3 years ago, I went to their clinic to try their Lipo-Cavitation treatment for me to achieve that bikini-ready body. They started by offering basic facials, diamond peels, RF and Lipo-Cavitation. Now, Clarence have moved to a bigger location offering a wide range of treatments to cater different beauty concerns utilizing the most advance technology.


Recently, they invited me as they launch of 2 of their newest machines, the Cynosure Palomar Icon and the Alma Beauty Reform Machine. These two machines have the most advanced laser technology that delivers instant results with almost no downtime.
