Alex Gonzaga Launches Bag Line with Secosana

It's an early event today as we rushed to Privato Hotel in Shaw. Secosana finally launched their collab with Vlog maven Alex Gonzaga. The well loved sister of Toni Gonzaga and daughter of Mommy Pinti had been working for months to design and conceptualize her collection. She has her own aesthetic, own identity and what better way to show that but by making her own set of bags.

Alex says "It's been 6 months since we started all these. I am so happy they turned into reality. I wanted bags but didn't know their brands, so in this collab I wanted it vintage and stylish, they gave me design freedom so I got to do this with them. For Mommy Pinti she could use a paper bag, but I would recommend she use our biggest one since she likes to carry a lot of stuff."

She adds "I am classic all the way, I love the colors which don't go out of trend. You can pair it with anything. I like the light ones, neutral colors, it can still be for all ages. When they presented it to me, I already liked it because of their craftsmanship and time spent making these bags. I didn't vlog about this because it was all in the bag, I guess there are trade secrets, and people generally don't cara about it (she kids) we only showed the final look. If you wanna see the journey, you can see it on Secosana's Facebook page.My personal favorite is the mint green bag."

The bags will be put up on sale for one whole week at secosana.com.ph. Then it will be sold in their stores nationwide. Honestly, they look pretty good. I'd be getting one for my Mom.

Dream Gifts for Dad at Baseus

Christmas is just around the corner and if you're like me, you probably don't know yet what you would be giving Dad for this holiday season. Now don't you worry, because our friends from Baseus has the perfect one you could give your Fathers who always carry around his gadgets in his car, you're going to make his life easier. You should only do this if you want to be the favorite son/daughter LOL!

This is the Baseus Christmas Car Accessories Gift Set. This actually costs almost 2 thousand pesos originally, but since Baseus is in a giving mood, they're going to be generous this Christmas and slashing a ton off its price.

They've got a fancy Fragrance Holder, a Car Mount for your mobile phone, a Charger for your lighter port and a 3 in 1 cable for all your phones. 

It comes in this fancy Christmas themed box which houses everything. 

You pull it out and it's got the Fragrance Holder and USB plug which fits in the lighter port of your car.

This green snowflake box comes in  the center, it is glued in on the slot above so you have to take it out to get to the Car Mount. 

I love how it's got three heads, like a hydra. You can charge your iPhone with the lightning cable, your Android phone with the mini USB, and other ones which has got the USB C. I actually have three phones for coverages, now that just means I don't have to carry around 3 separate cables anymore. 

I also love the braided 1 meter cable because it would be so difficult to destroy, including the shielded ends of it. This actually is something that most iPhone users can relate to because we often change em every few months/weeks.

This is the USB plug which you can stick into the lighter port on your car. It's got two usb ports so if you're a Grab driver, you can lend the extra one for your passengers. Which reminds me, this would be perfect for you too!

This is the Fragrance Holder, with its sleek modern looks, it could fit any model of a car and even your home. I would be sticking it into a dashboard, so finding out it's got adhesive already is so convenient. It's kinda permanent and if ever we need to put it somewhere else, we can buy the double tapes from stores. It's also very easy to install.

Roll the bottom to the left and open it up. It's got a knob on the center. Twist it and place the scent ring on it. Twist it back then put the cover back. Push the top part so the scent permeates on the car. I love how lemony it is! Haha!

I'm gonna have to buy refills of it, I haven't checked if it is available in Baseus, it would be nice no?

This already would cost a lot in reality but since it is bundled and prices have dropped at Baseus, you can get it all for Php 1,290. Oh and the phone holder/car mount is better than the usual ones.

It sits below the box of the cable which I had to remove.

What I like about this is the clamp at the bottom so you get less occurrence of drops in case you're a little clumsy. It's sturdy and has a ball head, you can point it to your preferred direction, also the base has adhesive on it. Make sure you decide well since it is permanent. You might have to buy additional adhesive if you placed it in the wrong place.

Baseus has so much in their store and this is just one of them. I bought wireless chargers from them and still use it til now. They also have warranty depending on the device you purchase, it is quite reassuring. This would be a good thing to give Dad, your boyfriend, your friend this Christmas. It could work for women too, technology is for everyone anyway!

Baseus stores are at the 3F of Trinoma Mall, Cyberzone of SM Southmall and SM Fairview. Go rush to their stores while sale items like these are still there!

HORSE Not Good at 15th PH Feng Shui Convention

Year after year, Ms. Marites Allen and Frigga Charmed Life has hosted successful Philippine Feng Shui Conventions and yes, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The west has already deemed this very Asian geomancy and included its very sense into design. After all, there is no harm in following your stars and it keeps you from harm. It's older than other sciences and has been followed by millions of people. I mean, why not right?

During this year's convention, the Horse isn't that much lucky in wealth, health and love. Albeit naturally lucky in other years, this 2020 is a lot different because your overall well being will be compromised. She said you must at all cost prioritize your health above all else. Although she deemed it unlucky for us born in 1990 LOL, she suggests to overcome this using several health and longevity amulets, anti illness charms and counter measures to make your months/year favorable. 

The Jade Wulou is something she suggests for March so it would appease illness. 

For a smooth and victorious month, she suggests you wear these earrings for April. It has mystic knots and a victory emblem so your business and life will flourish. 

For May, she suggests you to get this 9 charm necklace. This would be good for your career, wealth, luck, power and authority, longevity and success.

The 9 charm blue bangle (which I wanted but wasn't in my size) would be good to wear in February. Although an unfavorable time for horses, this exterminates evil, adversities, obstacles and protects you from dangers of travel.

For June, she suggests you get this Tree of Life Bangle/bracelet which will give you financial support, boost business and increase your income.

To repress evil intentions of other people, you must have this Red Chung Kwei so you wouldn't be victims of robberies and injuries. I need this in my life LOL.

For September, you need this Ultimate Amulet Medallion to protect yourself from everything negative. It has auspicious symbols in it to attract luck, success and happiness. 

For those who need help in romance, get these Mandarin Ducks which will help you in fidelity, loyalty in marriage and monogamy. There are others which were not available there but will be in Frigga boutiques in malls nationwide! 

Although the year seems not to favorable for me, I am glad I knew it beforehand and got to learn things that would ward off bad luck before it happens. Thank you Ms. Marites Allen for always being so nice and accommodating each time you hold the Feng Shui Convention. I'll try to be well equipped so when I go out in the real world I have all these Feng Shui advices and use them to my advantage. I can act on it because I learned things from you, that is priceless.
