Wondering how to give your favorite luxury bag a second life? These restoration spots in the Philippines might just be your best-kept secret.

If you're looking to restore your designer bags to their former glory in the Philippines, especially around Metro Manila, Mom Violy can recommend E Restore Leatherworks for affordable price. Mom Violy went to visit E Restore on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, with Carmina. Getting a Louis Vuitton bag repaired—especially the shoulder strap—can be tricky and pricey, so finding a reliable place like E Restore Leatherwork in Greenhill's is a win. They’re known for handling luxury items with care, and it’s great to hear Mom Violy had a positive experience. One-week turnaround for a luxury bag repair—especially with color-matching the shoulder strap—is quite efficient.

Actually my instant oatmeal is local made in the Philippines yes it is Quaker Oats with Banana Flavoring since I don't like it plain. I need to substitute it to what I normally eat in the United States. I had e...

There Is a Thin Line between Posting and Sharing

There Is a Thin Line between Posting and Sharing Sometimes you come across someone who will ask what you've have been doing today being a blogger you tend to get comments from your friend. Normally I would tell them I have been posting in Carmina Lifestyle. I would hear a smirk tone voice on the call saying you're just bragging that you have a whole lot of money.  People tend to read think differently when you want to express to share what food you have discovered or places you've recently traveled. There is a thin line between postings and sharing knowledge is what I've come across to explain to everyone who is misjudging what anyone would post. We can come across someone saying bad things about a person saying they want just attention when they post something. We come to someone who says we're just bragging. I hear oh you’re just driving for attention in reality posting and sharing are quite different meaning to anyone. We can see our friends post so...
