Treasure Jar

Last Friday, I wished for a new guitar. Not for me but for the youngest child who is bent on learning how to play the guitar. She has her eye on a certain brand. I’m sure when the daughter is adept enough to play she would be asking for gretsch guitars.

When we were still homeschooling, she learned to play a recorder all by herself but somehow this skill was forgotten due to the rigors of regular schooling. I hope she can re-learn when they have flute lessons in 4th grade.

Music is the language of the soul, so they say. My children grew up hearing music and learning songs that children their age probably don’t know. Here is one of my youngest daughter’s favorite song: That’s All I Want From You

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.

TOMS Will be having a Give Fair at TriNoma on December 4, 2011:

TOMS One for One: for every TOMS pair of shoes you buy, you give a gift of a new pair of shoes to a child who needs them. This is probably one of the best gift ideas for Christmas.

Instead of giving our children gifts that they won’t use for long, why not give them a pair of TOMS shoes? This does not just show that we are thinking of them but of other children who will benefit from having a new pair of shoes.

Do you use eye shadow? Do you use those eyelash curling thingamajigs? You probably said “yes” to both questions.

Do you have long eyelashes and have no need to attach false ones? Have you ever wished that there is something like “best eyelash growth enhancer” that will help you have longer and thicker eyelashes like these?

You can play on your eyes to make it look like you have long and thick eyelashes by asking your favorite makeup artist for help.

The use of eyelash curlers and mascara can help. I think. I’m sure there are lots of other eye makeup paraphernalia one can find. Am a noob with makeup.

If in case you don’t have a makeup artist, there are videos in the internet that can teach you how. Go, look for these videos and have those longer and thicker eyelashes that you are looking forward to having.
