Treasure Jar

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 🙂

As I was going through my trinkets the other day, I picked up the many pieces that make up my Bracelet a Breloques. I love my trinkets which are mostly cutesy bracelets and earrings. Of course, diamond rings would be great but I can’t wear these when I ride the train when I go to work, 😀

I remember I wrote a post about it so I tried to go look for the post in the archives. I was surprised that there’s a number 7 in the “Share in Facebook” button because I remembered that I did not share this post using that button.

Wheee! It feels good that there were people who shared this post. Thank you, thank you! I hope you shared it because you liked it 🙂

The Ipanema Gisele Bündchen Butterfly Collection is here! The Ipanema Gisele Bündchen Butterfly Collection is the sixth of the Ipanema Gisele Bündchen line designed by the supermodel. She is also the ambassador for United Nations Environment Programme.

The designs of the Ipanema GB Butterfly Collection features femininity with delicate lace-like weave of butterflies complimenting and prettifying the feet.  There is a butterfly embellishment to make the look prettier than it already is.

GB Butterfly Sandal Fem (black and gold)

Butterflies are best known not just as beautiful winged creatures but also creatures from a metamorphosis from an (icky) crawly creature to a magical winged butterfly. Women, like Gisele who is not just a supermodel but a mom and wife too, go through a series of transformation, just like a butterfly. Along these changes, we strive to make our loves better.

GB Butterfly Thong Fem (white and silver)

A portion of the sale from the Ipanema GB Butterfly Collection will be used to support ISA, a socio-environmental group aiming to promote awareness about climate change.

GB Butterfly Slide Fem (beige and gold)

I find the collection pretty, especially with the butterfly embellishment. I’ve seen other flip-flop designs, some simple, others ornate with black diamonds and other blings, silk flowers and ribbons. For me, simple and practical is the choice.

Butterflies + Ipanema Gisele Bündchen = <3
