have your books signed by pogi

books, events, book signing

No, i was not referring to the little man, but we do call him that at home, too! But specifically to RJ Ledesma who wears many hats + who just wishes he had just as many heads.

This multi-faceted man is also a man of many talents. Aside from hosting television shows, weddings and events, organizing the Mercato Centrale group of food markets, editing a men’s magazine and writing a weekly newspaper column, (and yes, he was ‘Joey’ in the Royal Tru-Orange that came out in the eighties), RJ is also the author behind four best-selling humor books Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me (2008), I Do Or I Die (2009), Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Me? (2010) and It Only Hurts When I Pee(2011) from Anvil Publishing.  His third book, Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Me, was a National Book Award Finalist in the 30th National Book Awards. His books are a collection of his “Pogi from a Parallel Universe” columns in the Philippine Star.

Join RJ Ledesma as he signs all four of his books on Friday (September 14) from 5:00pm-6:00pm at the National Book Store booth of the 33rd Manila International Book Fair in SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

Summer rugs from top designers

home, home furnishings, mum's thoughts

The world of interior design works much like high street and designer fashion, though it tends to move a little slower. The same few names have ruled the roost for a few years now, but recently we’ve seen a few newer (and not so new) names have been making some headway and selling more and more of their designs.

Since a lot of people don’t know much about what’s hot in interior design, but are becoming more interested in decorating their homes a little more luxuriously, there tends to be a bit of crossover between the designers that are fashionable on the high street and the designers who are popular in people’s houses. One such name is Calvin Klein, whose collection of modern rugs is fast becoming a commodity, much like his iconic boxer shorts and fragrances.

home, home furnishings, mum's thoughts

With fashion houses like Calvin Klein being as large as they are, it’s somewhat strange that we’ve not seen this kind of crossover sooner; vast amounts of experience coupled with an eye for colours that will look perfect in any home all year round means that one day the new ranges of soft furnishings may become as famous as the Calvin Klein originals.

Calvin Klein’s Sahara range in particular is ideal for summer, and features a linear design which is accented with faux silk to add a little luxury under foot. With bright, block colours, and a large variety of styles and materials across the ranges, any of the new line of rugs will add life to a living room in winter, and keep any summer day sunny regardless of the weather. Many are expecting the new Calvin Klein rugs to take off, so there’s no reason we can’t expect to see plenty more massive fashion brands featuring on our lounge floors this time next year. Check out these fashion rugs from modern-rugs.co.uk to start looking for the most posh rugs for your living room, if you haven’t already! 😉

mum going green, eco-friendly stuffs, pink stuff, Human Heart Nature, products, product reviews

I  have been using this all-natural feminine wash by Human ? Nature for a while now + I have no complaints. I simply love it + the fact that I know that no harmful chemicals are used in creating this product made me love Human Heart Nature even more. I feel cleaner, fresher + safer! I recently bought one for my stash + this 200ml bottle gets me covered for the next 2 months.

Anyway, this is just a quick post since I have to be offline now to tend to the little man, but I shall update this post later on with a rather extensive review of this product! See you + happy Tuesday everyone! 😉
