Fuelled by the brand’s commitment to create thoughtful designs that cater to every stage of a woman’s life, Love, Bonito launches its newest Embrace collection. From routine medical checks to nesting errands, the refreshed maternity essentials are thoughtfully designed to bring every expecting mom through her journey in comfort and style. Look forward to ultra-soft and breathable fabrics to combat unexpected hot flushes due to changing hormone levels, maternity-specific details to accommodate belly growth as well as nursing-friendly details for breastfeeding moms.
Zaynie Maternity Nursing Tencel Button Dress in Navy Blue
Between all the bodily changes and uncomfortable symptoms, the last thing any mom would want is for their clothing choices to contribute to the discomfort. The refreshed pieces from the updated Embrace collection are made from materials like soft Tencel, lightweight muslin, breathable linen, and high-stretch knit, all of which feel gentle on the skin and are suited for both indoor and outdoor wear.
Moreover, we recognise that moms are constantly on the lookout for investment pieces as they might not want to spend a fortune on maternity clothes just for those few months. As such, the collection stars apparel with adaptable silhouettes and nursing-friendly details that increase the longevity of each item.

Martial Law under the Marcos regime was one of the darkest times in the Philippines. With historical revisionism and disinformation rampant in various social media platforms, it is just right to present our fellow Filipinos, especially the youth, with facts surrounding this time. While it is a very difficult topic to talk to children about, we must revisit these memorable moments in history and teach the truth.
If you’re ready to talk to your kids about what life was like under the dictatorship of the late Ferdinand Marcos in an age-appropriate way, Adarna House has made their #NeverAgain Bundle available for pre-order. Get five books at 20% off for only P436, from May 11 to 22, 2022.
The books available in the bundle are: Si Jhun Jhun, Noong Bago Ideklara Ang Batas Militar, Edsa, The Magic Arrow, Isang Harding Papel, and Ito Ang Dikatadura. The #NeverAgain Bundle will be shipped on May 23, 2022. Pre-order here.
Hey! I Am Yogost (Yogost), the proud maker of the bestselling classic yogurt and purple rice drink, officially launched its Alabang Town Center (ATC) branch last April 2022.
The launching of the ATC branch is a powerful testament to Yogost’s commitment to providing more delicious and healthy drink options to customers. Now, more people can enjoy specially made selections that can enrich satisfying pauses and meaningful moments with family, friends, and loved ones.
Located on the 2nd level, Expansion Wing of ATC, the new branch is Yogost’s sixth outlet in the Philippines, and it is set to become Yogost’s flagship store in the south metro area. It will be the central hub for the brand’s incredibly yummy drink options that Filipinos have enjoyed and loved over the past years – selections lovingly created to promote healthier and happier lifestyles.
Customers can freely order from the branch via in-store visits, the Yogost website – yogostph.com, or favorite delivery apps like GrabFood, FoodPanda, Pickaroo, and Kraver’s Canteen.
Key leaders and executives of Yogost Philippines hosted the launch, led by Justin Lim, who oversees the brand’s marketing efforts in the country. Representatives from the Ayala Malls group and notable influencer partners also graced the event with their presence, affirming their support for this important milestone.
In his address, Justin Lim said, “We are genuinely thrilled to open the ATC branch and start offering fresh drink experiences that allow our customers to experience the best of both worlds – great taste and good nutrition.

An addition to good and healthy food options in Manila, Sante is the newest restaurant under Visum Ventures, the group that brought Koomi, Manila’s favorite drinking yoghurt, to the Philippines. The company has always believed that healthy eating should not be bland and boring. Sante which means health in French and is often used as a toast to wellness, is the premium casual location for their Zig brand, known for their healthy dishes.
Upon entrance, you will notice the chic and cozy space which you can enjoy with their refreshingly healthy food that can take guests from brunch to cocktails. A few of their healthy breakfast options include their Signature Mini Croissant Cereal that has housemade mini croissants, fresh strawberries, edible flower, and made even more unique with the T2 Tea-infused Very Berry milk. If you want something more savory, the Mushroom & Truffle Sourdough is not one to be missed. It has fresh mushroom, drizzled with truffle oil and topped with fresh parsley on freshly toasted sourdough bread that is also made in-house.
An easy favorite of mine is their Tuna and Avocado Tartare. It’s extremely simple with only fresh tuna and avocado drizzled with sesame oil and topped with micro greens. They have more interesting signature dishes like the Pumpkin Risotto that is topped with goat cheese and balsamic glaze; the Chicken Marsala that has juicy chicken breast with cream and Marsala wine and topped with fresh mushrooms; and the Beef Pot Pie, a homey dish that will surely bring you comfort.
To end the meal, choose from their signature desserts. Start with Mike’s Mess which is Mike Hilton’s, Visum Ventures Group’s founder and CEO, take on the Eton Mess. It has fresh cream, strawberries, and passion fruit in a crunch meringue — it’s sweet, fresh, and has different textures you’ll be sure to enjoy. There’s also the Mango Crème Brulee Cheesecake that is delightfully light and airy, it is a T2 Tea Mangoes & Cream tea-infused cheesecake that has macadamia and almond dacquoise crumbs.

Known for their finest apothecary skincare, beauty brandKiehl’s celebrates its love for the Philippines by launching limited-edition packaging specially-made for their Lazada Philippines Super Brand Day 2022.
Lazada Super Brand Day has been Kiehl’s’ most-anticipated sale for the past few years, currently topping as the number one skincare brand on the e-commerce platform for two and a half years running. Proving that the brand upheld their position through strong initiatives, they were able to come out as the top beauty brand in Lazada in various occasions, including #1 Super Brand Opening in 2020 and #1 Super Brand Day when they celebrated their 170th anniversary in 2021.
In addition to their Kiehl’s Loves the Philippines initiatives, Kiehl’s has continued to stay true to their commitment to the planet and people. Over the past decade, Kiehl’s has supported multiple local NGOs that are focused on communities and environmental causes such as Save Philippines Seas. In 2019, they partnered with celebrities Richard and Raymond Gutierrez where proceeds were used to develop Earthducation Kits, a project done in partnership with the Department of Education. These kits are toolboxes to empower educators to turn any space into an eco-learning space, promoting environmentalism and advocacy to students, even during the pandemic.
Kiehl’s is once again partnering with Save Philippine Seas by helping fund the Earthducation: Change the Current initiative. The Earthducation initiative aims to teach 150 public school teachers about climate change and how to take action. Through this, a total of 30 teachers will receive P15,000 to implement projects within their community. With the help of key opinion leaders, Kiehl’s is pledging PHP 1,000 for every media publication that publishes an article and every influencer that posts about the initiative.
On May 24, the brand is also hosting a Livestream party counting down to the Kiehl’s Super Brand Day, where every view will be equivalent to PHP 1 donation to the initiative. In this online music festival streaming on LazLive and Facebook Live, local household names Saab Magalona, Jim Bacarro, and Curtismith will be performing.
For this year’s Lazada Super Brand Day, Kiehl’s is highlighting Filipinos’ cult-favorite products by creating limited-edition packaging that is exclusively available in the Philippines. This was unveiled to select media publications and beauty influencers in a launch event on May 4, 2022.

Kiehl’s is dressing up the beloved favorites in the new packaging, including:
