Its gift giving time this holiday season. For me, as a Mommy, is a whole year round of gift giving. There are too many celebrations for me and not just one. Not only for my family alone but for the whole set of relatives, friends and colleagues.

There was a time that I encountered one of the store here in the Philippine way back few years ago that offers gift registry for my son's birthday. It was explained that if ever someone will buy gift for my son they will suggest the gifts that my son like to received. Yes, it is more efficient and a big help because you'll know personally choose what you needed the most. So with this kind of  way of gift giving is really appreciable.

Today where apps are more prevalent than before shows different kind of ways but there's one that I'm sure will help much, the THINGS I LIKE app. It is a modern app that changes the usual way of receiving and giving gifts to your special someone.

Slippers is just one of my weaknesses, I love slippers very much.  I am a type of person that like flats and if to choose from flats to heels, well I'd go with flats.  Since the day before Mother's Day, again based on my previous blog posts, there were lots of surprises came in for me.  Here is another surprise that came into our doorstep that I love most.

Banana peel surprise came 1 day before Mother's Day and I really love it! They gave me a color red Sutton with a touch of blue which made me wow!  Looking at it matches my white feet perfectly. I like it very much because its trendy and I feel like a teenager though I am a Mom already.


Banana Peel products are made from eco-friendly and non-harmful materials from the thong down to the sole. Non-toxic paint is used to produce trendy prints. Banana Peel promise to responsibly deliver quality slippers that last in rainy days and sunny days!


Another thing that made me love Banana Peel even more is because because they also gave slippers to my 2 kids.  I can't count now how many banana peel slippers have I bought for my kids and for me also, but kids, they just grow really fast, right mommies?  If you become a mom you'll definitely experience buying slippers from time to time.  It's either they've outgrown their slippers or it gets damaged because of their hyper activity.  Luckily, that my kids are both boys, so its not hard for me to choose slippers for them.



I am so thankful for the gifts that they sent, they make my family very happy, especially my hubby, because he is planning to buy slippers for me for Mother's Day, fortunately, Banana Peel is there to the rescue. Thank you very much from the bottom of my hearts.

To give you more information about Banana Peel, they are the first flip flop concept store in the Philippines. They are the only banana peel that nobody slips in because they are what the customers want to slip on. They believe that slippers are not only considered apparel, it is a lifestyle.

They have taken an oath to only provide trendy designs that cater to the ultra chic, the athletic and the classic without sacrificing quality. They have reacquainted the plain flip flops by bringing the thongs to life with colors and prints because every sole has every “you”.


Banana Peel envision their company to not only be “Everyone's Favorite Flip Flops!” but also “Everyone's Must-Have Flip Flops!” Actually, I covered their event last January when they launched John Lloyd Cruz as their new endorser, read here: Mag Of My Life

Gift giving is really abundant this recent holiday season and you can actually see gifts everywhere. It is the way of giving to the person that you love and treasure more them in your life.

My Family gave gifts to our relatives, inaanak and friends last Christmas. I am so happy that in the early age of my kids, they are fond of giving gifts and sharing even their toys to others.

It seems that giving is just one way of sharing your life to others and in return they too shares their lives to us. There was an instance that one of my blogger friends, Gracee Bongolan of itsmegracee.blogspot.com told me that I am a kind person that's why I received more than what I give to others. One example is when I gave an item to my friend and then the next day I received the same item but this time the return is much more than what I gave. It was 3 times more, imagine that?! What a great experience, right?

Another thankful and grateful experience is that recently, I did get another gift and it was truly a generous gift from Unilever. So I'm thanking Unilever and Startworks Family for that wonderful gift. It is not only for my family but for our extended family as well.

It is timely that it is the first gift that I receive to open my journey for this year, though it was supposedly last December. I consider this now as an early blessing for the year 2014

I just hope and pray that this is not the last of the blessings but just the beginning of a wonderful, blessed and fruitful year.

Guess what just came into our door step? Well it's just the Limite Edition Gift Set of San Marino. It's a yellow fin tuna fillet in olive oil.

Recently, San Marino, the country's number one corned tuna brand launched the premium San Marino Limited Edition Gift Set. It is elegantly packed great as perfect hearty gift product for your loved ones. Each gift set contains four cans of San Marino Yellowfin Tuna Fillet in Olive Oil 180g which is rich in Omega-3. Spread love by sharing prime cuts of Yellowfin tuna fillet, one of the most premium types of tuna, packed in pure olive oil to your family and friends. San Marino Limited Edtiion gift Set is available in selected supermarkets for only Php 320.00 per set.

Here's an additional info about San Marino brand and what Kris Aquino says about it.

Having been aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the country, Kris reveals one of the many ways on how she keeps her health healthy. “I eat foods which has lots of Omega-3. One product that I love is San Marino Corned Tuna.”

Every 180-gram can of San Marino Corned Tuna has 1125 mg of Omega-3. Omega-3 which is naturally-found in tuna contributes to having a healthy heart as it lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. It also reduces risks of heart attach and other cardio-vascular diseases.

“Another reason why I love San Marino Corned Tuna is because it has less oil than the usual tuna flakes in oil products and has lots of tuna.” Kris adds, “And San marino Corned Tuna has absolutely no preservatives.”

“I am definitely recommending San Marino Corned Tuna to my family and friends. I want them to have healty hearts too,” Kris imparts.

To combat the increasing incidences of deaths from heart disease, Kris airs her plea for Filipinos to take care of their heart. “Almost 300 Filipinos die of heart disease everyday kaya alagaan natin ang ating puso.”
