Zen Zest summer scents
I've always admired people with the chutzpah for business, and in this case I was glad to meet in person Ms. Michelle Asence-Fontelera, the lady behind the popular Zen Zest soaps & scents which we can find in the major malls. She's not even 35 yet and it's admirable how Ms. Fontelera has transformed Zen Zest into a major brand in the market today. Hers is a story of how you can turn your passion into a success. As a young girl, she was always into perfumes and looking good. Then, she thought of getting into business as a way of getting out of a broken heart. In ... Continue Reading...

Indulgence by Irene quezo de bola cheesecake
While selling at the annual bazaar Best Food Forward, a nice little red box took my breath away. Just a look at the little logo and I knew that this was the quezo de bola cheesecake other bloggers had been talking about: Indulgence by Irene. The name is sweet, but the taste is even sweeter. This is a really good cheesecake: dense and with the rich texture of indulgent quezo de bola (probably where it got its name from). The last quezo de bola I tasted was really cakey, like mamon, sponge cake or (gasp!) bibingka. It's pretty obvious that Irene knows how to make ... Continue Reading...
