4 KIDS Events Gather Review

Back to School Happy Packs from Pylones Philippines

What is Pylones?

It’s a tower. It’s a flow of energy. It communicates across borders. It’s collaborative. It is optimistic. And in this case…It’s extremely colorful. 

Eiffel Tower magnets, cheese graters and color changing mug-The mug will change color if you pour something hot into it!!!

The Eiffel Tower is a great example of what a Pylone is. Eiffel Tower magnets, cheese graters and color changing mug-The mug changes color depending on the temperature of the liquid inside.

I have seen the Pylones store in SM Aura and wondered what kind of fun quirky things were inside. Unfortunately, until just recently, I did not have time to go in and explore their wares.

Happy Pack themes were Artsy, Boy Scout, Girly Girl, and Nerdy. After taking the survey, we figured out Gia's pack was a tie for Artsy or Nerdy-and since I know she wants her own laptop, I opted for the Nerdy Happy Pack.

The SoMoms were invited to check out the new Pylones store which opened in Glorietta 5 to learn about their Back to School “HAPPY PACKS.” While we were waiting for the rest of our group to join us, we were free to explore the store and check out all of the colorful gift items that one can purchase. I found myself giggling while I was snapping pics with my iphone, because so many of the items in the store are things I would want for myself, simply because they make me happy!

How cute are these? As I explored the store I saw that I could piece together a grooming set made of a kitty and three women! Aren't these so much fun! Clockwise: kitty nail brush, lady tweezers, lady nail clippers, and lady nail file.

This manicure set would be a perfect gift for someone who likes to have their nails done all the time.

This pen and sticky pad set was part of the Artistic Happy Pack. I love how the Happy Packs had themes!

Amadine Laloi, the Sales Export Manager for Pylones was in town to tell us a little bit about the company. After chatting with Amandine for some time, I learned that she was heading off to other Asian countries to check on their other stores. She travels quite a bit but truly enjoys the work that she does with Pylones. She was able to give us a brief history on Pylones that I found not only informative but fun.

Amandine shared that it takes a full 2 years from the idea of a product to the design and manufacturing of said product.

 You can even see the history of Pylones scattered all through out the stores as they stand today. The big steel drums (Look at the Happy Pack pic up above.)  that you see in almost every store (no matter the country) are the reminder of the company’s bracelet beginnings. Pylones started with the latex bracelets in 1985 and they were sold simply, on consignment. 

Amandine shared with us that the first products of Pylones were latex bracelets. This was one of the cuter ones. It was a lizard. Thanks Mommy Fleur for modeling it!

As the company grew, so did their line of products. Maintaining their premise of providing “creative, optimistic, and graphic collections, Pylones designers have been inspired by the environment and the story of humanity, which ultimately creates the universal language of the objects.” Amandine also shared that the most popular items in the stores are usually based on animals or human shapes. She also shared the company philosophy that customers should leave their store with a positive shopping experience and a smile on their face. 

I have grown very fond of owls since Evangelina was born. I love this feeding set, bib, and lunchbox!

While many of Pylones products are made in China, it is the glass rings that are still manufactured in Paris.  The cloud ring is definitely my favorite. Maybe I should go back for it for my own treat to myself for Mother’s Day!

I think I should go back for one of these rings. Thanks Neva and Tin for modeling how fun these are!

If you would like to visit any of the Pylones stores to find out which Happy Pack is the perfect fit for your Back to School Kid, you can take this test so you know which one to ask for.

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.
