It’s Christmas break and with the children getting bored with their new toys, how about making a run and meeting new friends over at Jack’s Loft in Eastwood to see mascots, party planners, balloon twisters as they show you the new tricks of the trade re kiddie parties?

Not only will your children experience getting entertained, you also get the chance to help flood victims in Mindanao through your donations.

Do you believe in magic, witches and wishing on a rainbow? Do you want to see magical creatures? You can do all these and more at The Wonka Imaginarium, Atrium, EDSA Shangri-la Plaza from December 1 till December 4 which is made possible by our favorite candy store, Candy Corner.

The Wonka Imaginarium is inspired by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you haven’t read the book nor seen the movie, I suggest you do that 😉

When you look up and see these train, ice cream and peppermint candies ceiling festive decorations, you are near The Wonka Imaginarium.

When you see this fountain, you are there.

Purchase at least PhP100 worth of candies like Laffy Taffy, Nerds, Runts and Gobstopper plus so much more at the Wonka Imaginarium store or at Candy Corner’s Shangri-la Plaza store to get a Golden Ticket.

Be amazed at larger than life 3D art installations when you enter the Wonka doors:

A big pot of candies! Yey!

Grasshoppper!

Ladybug

Giant Mushrooms!

Details on The Wonka Imaginarium display.

Enter this magical door while the Talking Tree and a pink Laffy Taffy in person  assist you and your friends:

Don’t panic! This is going to be fun, I promise!

Wow, it is a different world in here!

You’ll get to meet a beautiful witch when you pass through that cosmic world and…

it is a surprise happy ending and you’ll get to know what happens next when you go see The Wonka Imaginarium with your children.

Nature Republic, Korea’s famous cosmetic store recently opened its third branch in the Philippines when it inaugurated Nature Republic at Ground Floor, Main Building at SM City Fairview last November 11, 2011.

Ms Marjorie Lee and Mr Tad Huang for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Nature Republic SM Fairview store blessing and opening.

The two other stores are the flagship outlet at Festival Supermall in Alabang and Nature Republic SM North EDSA, The Block.

What sets Nature Republic apart from other cosmetic companies is that uses state-of-the-art facilities for their products that use the most natural ingredients for world-class and superior quality products. These are incorporated in different Nature Republic products: Blue Lagoon water from Polynesia; Glacial Water from the Alps; Deep Sea Water from Greenland; Ocean Area Pine Tree from France; Hawaiian Hibiscus; Madagascar Butdelria; Morocco Monoi; gold Caviar; North American Kawai; and other similarly exotic and efficacious extracts and substances

The price range is good because most of the products are affordable starting from PhP60 – Php300. There are pricier products that range from PhP1,000 – PhP2,500 or thereabouts.

Jang Geun Suk (JGS or Sukkie) is Nature Republic’s major endorser. *hears shrieks*

Here are some of the products that can be bought at Nature Republic stores:

Sheets or Facial Masks

Nail Polish

Body Wash

Skin Care for Men

Aloe Vera Gel ( I bought a jar and the kids love it, so does my feet 😀 )

Best Seller Items

Lip Colors

Facial Colors

Skin Care

One can spend a lot of time (and money too, LOL) inside this store. After the doors were opened to the public, so many people went inside to buy stuff.

I did too! I got several items that I am currently using: Aloe Vera Gel and Cheek/Lip tint 🙂

Smart C+ is one of the bottled drinks that my children absolutely love. They like grapefruit/pomelo flavor best.

Smart C+ brand ambassadors Divine Lee, Liz Uy and RJ Ledesma. Not in photo are Anton del Rosario and Rissa Mananquil.

Smart C+ is a great choice because it is made with real fruit juice without artificial coloring, added preservatives and artificial sweeteners. The three citrus variants are Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush and Pomelo-Grapefruit. Every bottle of has 500mg of Vitamin C which helps in strengthening the immune system and repairing cells and tissues brought about by the daily stresses we deal with.

If you want to have your own “I Choose____” shirt, visit Smart C+ events at TriNoma Mall’s Cinema Lobby on September 17 – 18 and at the Market! Market! Activity Center on October 14 – 15, 2011. You only have to pay PhP200 for six bottles of Smart C+ and your “I Choose___” t-shirt that you can design to show what you stand for.
