Home & Hearth Review

Grace Home

Grace Baja is the lady behind The Spoiled Mummy.  

She is a multi-tasking self proclaimed Super Mom who has an eye for taste and beautiful things. She enjoys traveling, cooking, entertaining and I’m happy to share that she has recently launched her first line of Grace Home.  

 

A lot of people have been asking me why I decided to go the retail route and why of all things, a home line… The story, the idea and the inspiration behind #GraceHome is up on the blog now. Read about it and let me know what you guys think at www.thespoiledmummy.com <link on my Ig profile> #GraceHomeManila

Her new Home Line will be launched with three parts.  She has carefully formulated the yummiest of scents in her new candle. Combining the essential oils of Rose, Talc, and Basil, in a hand poured Beeswax candle that surely evokes a sense of luxury. It’s clean, feminine, and has a touch of that “baby smell” which all of us mothers would love to bottle.    

In an intimate brunch for her blogger friends, Grace shared with us the thought and process of creating her home line. She shared the reasons behind choosing the scents, the packaging, the colors, and what she wants the consumer to feel when they use her products in their home.

From walking into a room that smells fresh, but is not overpowering, to being able to lightly spritz her home sprays even on their clothing, and using the marble coaster that comes atop each candle as either a snuffer or a coaster, she was sure to detail the reasons why her deluxe home products speak volumes of her personality.

 

Brunch with @thespoiledmummy, in her gracious home for the #GraceHomeLaunch. Grace has put together a lovely line of candles, home sprays, stationery, and carefully curated finds from her many travels. If you are interested in learning more, be sure to check out her first ever trunk show, this Saturday from 1-6pm at @makatishangrila in the Isabela Foyer. #GraceHomeManila #bloggerswhobrunch

I have often said that the art of hand written notes and letters is dying in a day and age when people prefer to send texts and emails over taking the time to put pen to paper. Grace believes there is an importance in hand written notes as well, and she does something about it by creating stationery on high quality paper with a gold stamp which not only looks and feels classy, but comes beautifully packaged.

The third facet to her new business venture will change over time as Grace travels. She has often been commissioned by good friends and family to purchase hard to find items when in foreign countries. She delights in “hoarding” these beautiful items that are for the home and even for the dinner table. More often then not, she shared that she ends up giving away these treasured finds as pasalubong. 

Simple yet beautiful additions to the home that are colorful as well as functional can be found in the treasure trove of items she was able to bring home from Turkey.

Even the frosted glass bottle with simple gold lettering for her home spray was a detail that she wanted to be sure her products have.

Is there anything more delicious than the smell of Christmas and the new found freedom as we anticipate celebrating the holidays with our families again?

@festivalmall has hosted a series of musical shows since November 5th that include Ace Banzuelo and Silent Sanctuary. Check out Michael Pangilinan on December 10th, too!

Best of all-I love it when the places we know give purpose to their celebrations. Thank you #FestivalMall for partnering with @dsapi1  this holiday season. 

Thank you for sharing all the different ways we can celebrate the holidays with you!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
