Precious Moments Favors

Precious-Moments-Trinket-Favor

Whims and Likes is running on its 2nd year on January 2010.  indeed we’re happy that we were able to reach our market with an outstanding feedback.  my most enjoyable part in the process of each order is the packaging itself, i must admit that every favors ordered, i always fall in love!  with those cute and dainty figurines, colorful and pleasing candle giveaways… if i were to receive it, i will definitely like!

almost all the products were patronized but the most ordered favor is the Precious Moments figurine.  somehow, i understood why… the trinket just speaks all the qualities of every darling moppet.  innocent, cute, personable, angelic and irresistible.  this is a 1978  Precious Moments trinket figurine collection that lulled last 1981 and was reintroduced on 1998.

i could say that the figurine is an  epitome of perfected colors of faintest yellow, lightest purple, minty green, yummy pink and a well finished designed just sealed the deal.  it’s all about a little lad who generously gives free puppies, that classically personifies the message that’s scripted inside the trinket box which says ” God Loveth a Cheerful Giver”.

ain’t it true?… giving is the only saintly doing that us human can possibly do.

khloe-1

one of the kardashian sisters (khloe)  got married to lakers’ lamar odom last weekend (09-27-09).  250 star-studded guests (as expected)… flocked a beverly hills mansion as the venue of the event.  many are raising brows when the couple jumped in tying the knot just after a month of being together.  for me, the hell with what other say!… it’s a couple’s prerogative, there’s no such thing as getting-to-know stage anyways.  it takes forever to know one!… getting hitched immediately is the thing that float their boat!

good luck!

a june bride from ‘girls next door’

August 4th, 2009

hank-kendra the name is Kendra Wilkinson, one of the three beautiful women of the reality show  ‘the girls next door’.  i    just watched the complete wedding ceremony awhile ago from E-channel and yes the ceremony melts my heart.  ’twas held at the playboy mansion last june 27th, 2009… hugh hefner open heartedly honor the request of the couple to hold the wedding in latter place.  i admire the girl!… nothing superficial about her, she seems so real… i find the man very adorable and very affectionate to Kendra… the hubby’s name is Hank Baskett, a known football player who hail from New Mexico.

there are tons of reality shows in local and cable channels, by the way this is the “it” thing nowadays … i noticed one thing though that most of them are– “FAKE!”  with the likes of The Hills, Laguna Beach,  The Real Wives… so on and so forth.   it’s very rare to see a couple who stars in reality shows that i feel genuinely are in love but this couple is different… none are arrogant nor they portray being cool, well they don’t need to try hard on that aspect since the couple is indeed cool.

the bride was presented by his only brother- Colin… on the first dance, the groom cried and on the night before the wedding day the man was the one who uttered… “forever” he wants it to be… you’re a lucky girl Kendra!

an afternoon Tea Party

July 18th, 2009

there’s something about Tea Theme Party that is very appealing to me.  the kind of get together that encompasses the semblance of calmness, teaparty comfort, light-mood and tradition.  tea party as reminiscent of Victorian era  can set the mood of women to put-on some  unassuming gesture of being a lady.

i grew up surrounded with girl stuffs being the only lass of five brood.  my mother took pleasure in pampering me with dolls, stuffed toys, cookware toys, sanrio knickknacks and dresses… this is how i started my relationship with girly things! … and i still do!… no wonder i find it comforting to watch the movies that inspired by Jane Austen’s novel.   it depicts women in a feminine yet highly principled way, stimulating discussion either in group or between lady friends were always accompanied with a cup of freshly brewed tea and tiny pastries… oh! lovely.

what  draws me to Tea Party? … well… the hat, the dress, the china wares and of course the fine sandwiches and pastries often serve with tea.  i wouldn’t mind to have a ravishing  petite sandwiches made of pumpernickel or wheat bread, a sumptuous slice of pound cake or strawberry shortcake, an inviting scones and tarts or  a delectable blueberry and banana walnut muffin…  the inviting presentation of these bite-size sandwiches and pastries in a stack-up trays and colorful china teaware that is set in the garden, patio or simply in the comfort of your living room… that is what i call a simple yet grand comfort.

tea and the tiny bits of delicacies are the best companion of conversation, the tradition that passed vastly from Chinese as early as 2737 BC to  Japanese then Europe in 1652 then in America in 1690… presently, Tea Party is widely used as a simple way of entertaining guests at home,  hotels and some restaurants.

i recommend for you to experience the Tea Room of Huntington Botanical Garden located in San Marino, California.  it’s a very awesome place and the room is in the amidst of the luscious garden.

i hope one day i could host a tea party for my dear friends or i hope to receive an invite for this theme… i will gladly attend and enjoy my cup of tea!

“my super sweet 16″ cable show

July 14th, 2009

i was browsing on cable channels recently, out of boredom obviously and I came across the show called “my super sweet 16″… oh, i finished the sixteenshow, by the way… to summarized it in one word!— it’s “crazy!”

you could see how bratty and demanding the celebrant was, well of course with the willing and tolerating parents, i may say.  her sweet 16 is far way more than an average wedding celebration.

from expensive gown, tiara, reception and of course a brand new BMW sweet 16 present, friends were howling with envy and eye popping moment from the teenagers when the car was presented to the sweet sixteen celebrant.  every teenager yearns to drive their own wheels and it doesn’t hurt if it’s a beamer or benz.  i’ve never seen a sweet 16 celebration as grand as this with an easy total damage of $200,000.00!

given this money, would you dare  throw it on something like this? I surely know… I wont!
