This little boy is going to be a big brother soon!!:) @markruiz and I are so happy and excited to share this bit of good news on this day when we celebrate life and hope. I am still going through my nausea, vomiting, and mood swings (12+ weeks and counting), but in between those moments, I find time to pause and be grateful for this gift :) Happy Easter everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

This photo brings back so many memories as I was in New York then (a few years ago) with our designer @christian.cera. We were going around with our luggage full of samples to show to potential stockists in the US. :) Selling to markets outside of the Philippines is exciting but also nerve-racking! You have to make sure your quality is at par with international brands and your delivery is reliable and hassle-free. . We were confident then because we knew that our artisans are amazing at what they do so we are sure that the quality of our products would be amazing too. And as for our delivery, we were working with @FedEx, so we were confident about that too! . Fast forward to today, we are getting new International inquiries almost every week! Throughout the years, we had to constantly innovate in order to serve our advocates better. It is also a great thing that @FedEx remained committed to making it faster and easier for us to ship our products internationally! Watch out world, @rags2richesinc will be in your cities soon!:) . #WeavingJoyfulStories #Possibilities

I am very excited for tomorrow because @rags2richesinc will be launching a new collection that is in full bloom (literally) this Summer!:) Hardin will be out in our @iloveuptowncenter and @thingsthatmatterph tomorrow!:) Each piece is handmade AND hand embroidered. Each is also intentionally designed by the brilliant @christian.cera . As always, I will step aside and let our advocates shop first before I do. 😍

My perennial problem is having thin and flat hair. As in super straight and no body. While this suits Victoria Beckham (I mean, anything suits her), it does not suit me. haha super happy to have tried @lovebeautyandplanet_ph Coconut Water + Mimosa flower recently!:) I can achieve this kind of volume even without blow drying my hair 😭😭😭 I love the timing that this came into my life in time for summer too! . One of the best parts about loving a product is knowing that the brand that makes it, is taking steps towards sustainability too!:) Love Beauty and Planet now has a drop off point for their used bottles for recycling @smmakati! There are still much to be done, but glad that LBP is taking steps towards the right direction! . This summer, I am making a commitment too to take more steps towards becoming more sustainable. Small steps matter. One of the main things I ask myself now before doing anything/ buying anything is: will the world be a bit better off if I do this? While it is not world changing, just a bit better off is better than nothing :) We’ll still work towards the big ones, but we don’t forget that small and consistent steps can also go a long way . #smallactsofsummerlove #lovebeautyandplanetph

Today we celebrate the women who paved the way for us and march on to become the women who will pave the way for others :) Happy International Women’s Day! #internationalwomensday #balanceforbetter

GIVING AWAY some of my most favorite things!!:) Giving them away because I have either the electronic versions (for the books) or a few extras, AND it would really make me joyful to see someone enjoy these too! To win ALL of these (Philippine residents only), just follow @reesefernandez, comment below, and tag two friends. Giveaway includes the ff: 1. Shaping the Future of the 4th Industrial Revolution: A book by Klaus Schwab that talks about humanity’s inevitable future that may sometimes be seen as scary but could actually be shaped to be more inclusive, desirable, and compassionate. Professor Klaus and industry leaders talk about how we prepare and even thrive in the 4th Industrial Revolution - which is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres, collectively referred to as cyber-physical systems (@wikipedia) 2. Green Style - Everything sustainable! This super thick book has a wealth of information (and pictures) about the best sustainable designs and innovations from around the world! 3. R2R Vanna Multipurpose pouch - We have some extras at home left over from the holiday gifts we over estimated haha Including this in the package because of course, @rags2richesinc is one of my most favorite companies ever. 4. Earth, Too Mess Kit from @earthtooph and @thingsthatmatterph - but also from us and our overestimated Christmas list :) haha This is the perfect set to jump start your sustainable, zero-waste (or at least getting there!) lifestyle. It has a spoon, fork, chopsticks, metal bendy straw, and straw cleaning brush :) The wrap is made out of recycled denim and for every mess kit sold, Earth, Too donates a meal to a child in need 5. Complete set of the notebooks (all 4 designs) with my art works printed on them :) The print quality is awesome and the paper is buttery smooth and works well even with gel pens. I will ship to anywhere in the Philippines!:) I’ll draw the winner this March 4, 8pm. These things have been sitting around our house for a while now and I am excited for these to spark joy in another home with someone who can love and use them with intention!
