The yoga bags were created using natural Philippine fibers and indigenous...
Read MoreThe Friendship Kayak Expendition
The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world, making it a natural playing field for water sports and adventure tourism. It’s no wonder that Singaporean adventurer and Guinness World Record Holder Khoo Swee Chow chose the Philippines as the place to attempt another world record on his list.

Read MoreEcko’s Limited Edition Star Wars Hoodies Available in the Philippines
It’s fairly obvious from my online handle that I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I’m not crazy enough to spend loads of money on collectibles, but I wouldn’t mind buying one expensive item that will allow me to literally wear my fandom on my sleeve. When I got wind of Ecko’s limited edition Star Wars hoodies last month, I knew I wanted one. They’re a geeky yet...
Read MoreRobinsons Exclusive Sale at Megatent
I don’t like going to mall sales because it’s impossible to find parking or get a cab, not to mention that I hate having to crowd-surf to reach the stores I like. Fortunately, Robsinsons’ Mall is holding another sale, but at a bigger venue this time. The Robinsons Visa Warehouse Sale is happening from October 23 to 25 at MegaTent, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City so you can shop...

Read MoreNew K-Swiss Designs Available in the Philippines
90′s fashion had a lot of iconic pieces that are still all the rage among kids today: plaid polos, ripped jeans, and the classic K-Swiss white sneaker. If Chuck Taylor sneakers were the first canvas basketball shoes, K-Swiss’s signature look of five stripes and D-rings was the first leather tennis shoe in 1966. It’s a timeless design that represents individualism and style,...

Read MoreThe Inti-Mate Bra Converter: Bye Bye to Awkward Bra Straps!
All girls have, at some point, gotten irritated at their bra straps. They slide off your shoulders, they look awkward with racerback tank tops, and they peek through certain sleeve types.
