CBTL Kiddie Enterprise Fair




I remembered years ago (okay fine!  Many years ago!)  I wanted to work in several well-known food chains but the opportunities weren't there!  I guess, there were so many competitions back then and HR would look at me with one eyebrow raised saying: "You're Chinese!  You don't need the money!"  (yes guys, true story yan!)  So what did I ended up doing?  Teaching kids during summer even when school starts!  I'm a professional Tutor AMW Friends! :P

Today, with millenials having more opportunities due to technology, I'm glad to say there are companies who took this opportunity and "brew" them into something even more wonderful!  

Brew Your Best Year from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
            


This is the CBTL's Community for encoursing customers to be the best versions of themselves by putting together a Business Bootcamp for Kids!  Designed to teach kids the basics of business in an interactive and experiental way, it is a two-party activity that aspires to mold the youth into becoming the next generation of entreprneurs who will continue to pave the way for a stronger economy!

For the first part of the bootcamp, Coffee Bean Kids underwent an Entrepreneurship Workshop facilitated by their partner institution, The Ultimate Learning Accelerator (TULA). During the workshop, the kids learned the foundational knowledge and skills needed to start their own small businesses. To provide an avenue where the kids can apply their learnings, the Business Bootcamp will culminate with a Kiddie Enterprise Fair. During the fair, the Coffee Bean Kids will be selling food and retail items with one goal in mind: to create successful business ventures and return their parents’ investments through their earnings.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® invites everyone to support the Coffee Bean Kids during their first business venture at the Kiddie Enterprise Fair on September 3, 2016, Saturday! The event will take place from 11AM-6PM at the garden area in front of their Bonifacio High Street store. The brand will also be selling their teas at a special rate and promises exciting surprises for all attendees.

AskMeMom: My Ultimate Dream For Kyle Nash





What is my ultimate dream for my son Kyle Nash?
Well, I can't say just one in particular but off the top of my head, I have so many wishes for him ---
  • I wish he will be respectful.
  • I wish he will have more friends, true friends to guide him by.
  • I wish he will be a responsible citizen.
  • I wish he would be successful in whatever path he plans to partake.
  • I wish he grows up to be like his dad --- Loving, caring, a gentleman.
The list could go on and on!  
But to jump-start making my hopes and wishes for him, I spend and invest a lot of my time and effort in making sure he is equipped with the right tools to be the best he can be!


That explains why I am extremely hands-on with him.


In his earlier years until today, I take time and effort in teaching him the basics --- on how to be patient, on being respectful to people around him, in being grateful in little things he receive on a daily basis and a lot more!


On to the academic side, I also take time to teach him the basics --- reading, writing, speaking and listening.  It wasn't an easy ride, everything is done at his own pace, I never force him to do things he doesn't like to do because he only gets to be a baby and toddler once, and I want him to have a pleasant experience like I did when I was growing up.

Happy Skin Glam Squad Launch and Product Details




As a make up artist myself, I have my own "MUA Squad" that I look up to and follow on Instagram heavily for inspiration.  They are (in no particular order) --- Juan Sarte, Mickey See, Denise Go-Ochoa and Jigs Mayuga.  There are a few more but the names mentioned are definitely on my top list!   So when I got an invite for the launch of the Happy Skin Glam Squad Collection, the brand's latest collaboration developed together with the Filipino makeup masters mentioned above, I knew I had to clear my schedule and be there!

The collection feels like having your own professional makeup artist who glam up top celebrities (in the country) at the comfort of your own home!  It doesn't hurt that they are housed in a super chic and glam rose gold packaging!



It was a refreshing event as I get to reconnect with fellow Beauty Bloggers and good friend Sophie Uy from Happy Skin.

The Tony Moly Cheektone Single Blusher in P05 Reminds Me of....


...NARS ORGASM!
Well, not exactly but close enough!  I own 2 Nars Orgasm Blushes (1 personal and 1 for professional KIT) so I guess, I do have a tiny bit of right to say, they are similar!

Tony Moly Cheektone Powder in shade P05
I own 2 Cheektone Single Pans of Silky Colors in this shade and in Lavender.  They are known to be a highly-pigmented powder that enhances complexions with natural color; finely-milled formulation that adheres closely to skin for long-lasting wear.

Well, that's according to Tony Moly, what do I have to say about these blushes?

What's New with Project Pie as they Turns 3?



You can build your own Pizza, now pasta and your own Loyalty Card!
That's 3 wonderful news for 3 lovely Project Pie Years!


How did I learn about Project Pie?  Well, there's one branch near Mr. AMW's office and I remembered "asking him out" for a date 2 years during lunch break.  It was a fun experience creating my own pizza and I find it a great idea since I really have some "favorite ingredients".
