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. And ₱4,000 for restoring a Louis Vuitton piece sounds like a fair deal, considering how meticulous that kind of work can be. Mom Violy said she can bring all her Louis Vuitton and still be original. Mom Violy also purchased some cream to take care of her bags purchasing at  E Restore Leatherworks . Price may varies depe...

Freshly Baked Banana Loaf from The Boss Bakes

Carmina wanted to purchase some banana loaf for Mom Violy since she had already have her groceries ready for pick up. Might as well complete everything that Mom Violy loves eating banana loaf yet she doesn't like it too sweet and having any nuts in it. Out of the blue Carmina was checking out her Grab on her phone to see what was new in the list given. She saw The Boss Bakes and looking at their menu and saw they have Banana Loaf for PHP 180.00 ($3.46) not including delivery fee and tip to the rider. Carmina had received a white box that was moist up and when she opens it the banana loaf was still hot. It only means they bake the bread before it is being delivered to you. Banana Loaf from  The Boss Bakes is moist and easily sliced when being hot from their kitchen. Carmina had shared and sent half to Mom Violy and shared some with Manang V to try.

Kopico Cafe Mocha Twin Pack

Carmina discovered a new Kopico Cafe Mocha sold in a Twin Pack at the grocery store. Those who are in a tight budget and would like to venture into coffee here is something you can try for yourself for PHP 12.00 ($0.23). Carmina's observation is reminds me drinking hot cocoa not coffee from the rich mocha taste. It is not bad for the price. All you need to do is pour the Kopico Cafe Mocha and boiling water inside your mug you have instant coffee. Carmina purchased Kopico Cafe Mocha Twin Pack from  Anson Supermart  through Grab Mart. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Kopico Cafe Mocha Twin Pack from Anson Supermart in Quezon City, Philippines.

Did you know there are a Buko Pandan Taho, Blueberry Taho Fruitee and Mango Taho Fruitee?

Did you know there are a Buko Pandan Taho, Blueberry Taho Fruitee and Mango Taho Fruitee? Carmina had mentioned to Manang V that there are different types of taho we normally get to eat not just the local taho that has the syrup and tapioca balls. Anyone who loves eating Buko Panda will surely love to try the Buko Pandan Taho that comes with individual plastic containers of the syrup and tapioca balls. The only things you can do are transfer to a bowl or eat from the container where it came, add the syrup and tapioca balls. One order of Buko Pandan Taho can feed two people Carmina had shared the other half with Manang V for our breakfast. Carmina's Review: Buko Pandan Taho has the same flavor of Buko Pandan just the healthy version being made of soy beans. You can easily adjust the taste by how much syrup you pour on to while serving for yourself and someone. Carmina had tried the Blueberry Taho Fruitee and it gave me a taste of blueberry cheesecake just it was made of taho not cre...
