The hubby and I were interviewed by Rowena Wendy Lei last December for Good Housekeeping March 2010. And I was finally able to get copies yesterday! Yey! It is our first time to be featured and allow us to just relish the moment! The hubby and I basically talked about how we ventured into monetizing blogs and shared some bits and pieces how we make money online.
The article is pretty lengthy. Here’s just to give you a peek..

More and more ladies are putting their interest on gadgets alongside their passion for beauty, makeup and fashion. I would often find myself putting my loyalty to brands that deliver and this applies to both beauty products and kikay gadgets. It is more than a year now since I last changed mobile units. I love my Smartphone in Ruby Red and its endless functionality. And after so many years of changing units every few months, a year is saying a lot already!
Now I know you will understand why I cannot yet stop raving about my gorgeous limited edition Karim Rashid Eee PC Asus netbook in pink. Hot Pink! Its color cannot be more me and I love it to bits!

I am a fan of comfortable and trendy sandals and flip flops. I have outgrown one good brand after another. For some reason, I always find the branded ones to be the most comfortable. From my Marks and Spencer black sandals which readily adjusted to my feet when I was preggers to this Sketchers Dressy jewel toned sandals (above picture). I bought this last September 2009 for P2,900 (approx. $65) and have not had one bit of a problem until last month when I felt the suede that’s holding the thong together snipped while I was in Eastwood mall strolling with the hubby. I figured it has served its worth. It was the pair that I wore throughout the typhoon Ondoy. My poor sandals did not lose its luster even after the flood- the jewels still intact. I did however had to clean the soft sued thoroughly after it got submerged in the flood more than a couple of times. Which I think might have caused the suede getting snipped.
Kikay Corner was picked by the Asus team during the Asus EEE PC Seashell Karim Rashid Collection (1008P) Philippine Launch held last night at Icon Intercontinental Hotel, to receive this fab of a netbook. There is probably no netbook more Kikay than this. I love it to bits!
My dear hubby owns an ASUS netbook (1005HA), so I know how this little monster performs. I love that I now have a matching all girly, pink, just the way I want my netbook to be. Karim Rashid, one of the world’s leading designers definitely made this particular Eee PC Seashell more appealing and hip. To achieve this distinct and gorgeous look, ASUS’ industrial designers have had to pioneer a plethora of material, production, and textural innovations, such as the combination of rubber paint, in mold roller (IMR), and metallic materials to create thoroughly unique finishes.
Glossy Hot Pink
Hot Pink is the new black for fashion and a shock of punchy pink is just the thing to brighten any ensemble. This positive and very orgulous color clearly communicates the idea of immateriality, entropy and energy of a strong optimistic presence. The Hot Pink Eee PC™ 1008P—which recalls a fashionable woman strolling down New York’s Fifth Avenue—has a metallic silver bottom layer and a transparent Hot Pink IMR upper layer.

Regular readers know that Kikay Corner’s leaning has always been towards all natural and organic products. This is why I couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to witness the AHAVA Launch and Boutique opening last February 25, 2010.
AHAVA originated in Israel on the rich mineral resource of the Dead Sea. AHAVA is the sole company that has the license to extract these rich resources from the Dead Sea.
AHAVA is the Hebrew word for “love.” AHAVA came to skincare out of love for our native magical environment. Living and working by the Dead Sea, it’s easy to fall in love with the area’s unique topography and mystical charm. AHAVA then began to discover impressive healing powers of its natural resources.

Essensity was launched by Schwarzkopf Professional last year, boasting of natural ingredients. And you can say, with my leaning to all natural beauty products, I was all too thrilled. All the SLS, silicones have what have you, chemical based ingredients have started scaring me off from the moment I got hooked studying the cancer causing SLS and SLES ingredients in most shampoos and even body wash and soaps.
Essensity is a line free of artifician fragrance and all those crap we usually see in commercial shampoos. While I love that this shampoo is all natural, it’s performance is not really spectacular. I have found that out of the 3 all natural shampoos that I use at least 2 of them cause hair fall. Yes including this brand. But I’m not saying that it does cause me hair fall, it is going to be the same for everyone.

While I’m sure I know a bunch of you guys have heard about celebrities having their body parts insured, I still get amazed every time I read about any of them. The astounding amount of money for a single or pair of body part/s, I’ll type a few of them away for you.
David Beckham for one has his legs insured for an astounding $70 million! Read the rest of this entry »

Shopping is fun. That’s something most girls would agree with me about. But that is not to say that only women love shopping. Men love shopping as well. In this age of consumerism, it really is easy to fall trap if we are not careful. Shopping is not bad in itself. It is the most natural thing, even as we consume things we use on a daily basis. The thing is to be wise at doing it.

Statistics tell us that women have achieved a lot in the workforce and based on the current figures as well, the projection of how women will dominate the corporate world is almost inevitable. Now this is not saying that this is not a good thing. It can actually be good for companies even as they anticipate the kind of team they are going to have and probably design a plan that will help them accomplish more. This then becomes a win-win situation, to say the least.
