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.

I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes toget I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes together so easily. When Sandra Cheng shared that she was willing to share more about her benefits of @easecox.ig essential oils with our buddies, the team and I quickly brainstormed a program flow that was in line with this opportunity to learn. 

Grateful for @monicaemanzano who was so game to share a movement segment from @flowretreats. She thought of @curatedgoodfood who generously shared preservative free dimsum which goes perfectly with our healthy sammies from @h2v2partyneedsandcatering. @komida.foods has been a consistent supporter of our mission and events since last year. We are grateful for their continued mission of providing healthy snacks for our events!

We opened with @joanngue.mlg pranayamic breath work, moved on to a yoga flow with Monica, followed by mindfulness with @enzoarmovit, a gratitude circle, and then esssential oils for beginners with Sandra from Easecox Philippines.

What a wonderful morning spent with our Buddies in BGC! 

Thank you to everyone who made this event so easy to conceptualize and mount! 

PS. If you would like to be a buddy. Please PM me. Bugsy and I are so blessed to have one another and I love that we get to do things like this together!
Colors. My first girl got to go on her first med Colors. 

My first girl got to go on her first medical mission in October. 

Gosh, they grow up so fast. 

We bought her new scrubs for the trip. It feels like yesterday when I was buying her green skirts and black Mary Janes for grade school.

Now she’s all grown. On her way to becoming a doctor.
At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado turned to me and said “Mom, thank you so much for bringing me here. I love Frozen.” 

As Gelli continues to grow up, some things remain the same. Her love for princesses, her love for her siblings, having fun with the family, and music and dance in any form. 

What an enchanted evening we had visiting the Samsung Theater in @_circuitmakati to watch the FROZEN film in CONCERT with a LIVE ORCHESTRA. From the moment Gelli hear the orchestra’s accompaniment to the film, to the vocalists who sang along, she was mesmerized.

Thank you @dotdigitalph for inviting Gelli to experience this up close and personal!! She had a blast!
