Bench and Furne Onè Launches New Fragrances!

One of the most prolific designers I've seen in the last few shows I've been to. Good thing he's hooked up with Bench to launch a new fragrance properly called UNHOLY. Have you been to a Furne One show? Well if not, this is Amato Haute Couture!

I don't have to tell you the clientele because as you can see this just spells A list. Let's look at some of the dresses.

It's so detailed and pretty awesome; no wonder it's been worn by the likes of Heidi Klum, Natasha Bedingfield, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Shakira among all others.

Every piece was a show stopper and for everyone who saw the  pieces that night, it was not a question anymore if they were talented. Everyone was asking what's to expect next! Then the show started... (which I hope you'll love and feel like you're on the front row) :)

Gorgeous Marina Benipayo still showing her true form on this bit. She was playing on the runway with the other models.

Then she came out... and my jaw just dropped. O_O

America's Next Top Model Cycle 14's Raina Hein

Oh she's just so gorgeous! Her dress was dreamy too!

I wasn't in the center but took some decent shots. This was a dream come true for me because I do love her! =) Who doesn't? =)

What a proper way to end the show. I am so impressed by his collection, let alone this new fragrance that they launched with Bench. This is now Furn One x Bench's collaboration and what they call UNHOLY (P468). There's also Handsome Girl (P398) & Pretty Boy (P398) which have been getting rave reviews on my timeline. You all should definitely try it!

Thank you so much to Bench and Furne One on this awesome collaboration. You are definitely making waves in the Philippine Fashion industry and this is just crazy! I love every bit of it and I'm sure everyone else will!

Swensen's: The Ultimate Ricecream Sundae Experience!

It's been a while since I visited the Eastwood Branch of popular ice cream brand Swensen's. I feel sorry for myself not being able to do so because I literally am a stones throw away from this branch. It's a good thing they invited us over for dessert as they launched their new products in this side of the world! I had goosebumps when I saw what they had on the menu.

Their executives were all smiles as they welcome us to their second branch in the Philippines. It's so spacious and best of all, service is quite impeccable. They took good care of us and showed us the menu. Surprised about the things they concocted which probably has this Southeast Asian flare. Being a brand from San Francisco, they are continually innovating and creating more regional flavors to the delight of their customers. Mango and Rice? This certainly calls for something good!

They immediately made us several servings of the Ultimate Mango Ricecream Sensations! Imagine Mango Ice Cream with Pandan flavored Sticky Rice topped with Mango Cubes and whipped cream. Just describing that made my mouth water. Just check this out!

Oh did I forget to mention the oozing Caramel and slivers of Almonds on it too? LOL just kidding, sorry for making you guys crave too much on this article LOL!

This was Catch Gaviola's (of CatchGaviola.com) plate and my eyes just lit up when I saw what I was going to have. He says the rice was soft and reminiscent of those desserts in Thailand and our very own Mangga't Suman. Though this one had something so good on it, it had Swensen's signature Ice Cream. It was so creamy but not too sweet. They even added whole cream on top. It was perfect for that hot afternoon. They call this Sticky Rice with Mango, I had some for myself of course!

Two heaping scoops of awesome Mango Ice cream and a couple of spoonfuls of Mango and Pandan Sticky Rice, topped with whipped cream, almonds, caramel syrup and a dab of green nata de coco. It's like heaven on a bowl and boy I was easily closing my eyes and trying so hard to remember my name after the first scoop. In the serving sizes I find this so perfect for one person but for ladies, you can probably have this shared with your man. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. This is the Mango Breeze Boat!

If you are in a group or maybe have more appetite that the usual, then your better get this Mango Hurricane! Tons of Ice cream good for around 3-5 people, hot Waffles, Pandan sticky rice, mango cubes, served with coconut mil and mochi balls. It was a humongous serving of Mango good enough for the picky ones because for the price, this is all worth it! On a hot day in Manila I'm sure you can easily finish this!

This is one big goblet. Imagine melted marshmallows, more Mangoes, Pandan Sticky Rice, Waffle cones and oozing rich caramel syrup and mango syrup. When this comes chugging on your table you'll hear some oohhs and ahhsss because you'll surely get your fix of everything good in a Mango and Pandan Sticky Rice combination. Perfect for those who are alone and got a big appetite! This is the one they call Mango Sensation!

If you are just dropping by, don't worry. Swensen's has got you covered. With all the nice things you saw earlier, you can have that same experience in a crunchy Waffle Cone via Mango On The Go. That's how important you are. You just have to make sure that the next time you drop by Mall of Asia or Eastwood City, don't miss the chance to go to Swensen's because you know you want to have the Ultimate Ricecream Experience!
