Mamanee Celebrates 40 + The Grand Lass Giveaway!

This year marked my 40th year at life and I celebrated with mixed emotions. One, my mother-in-law had just passed away and two, at 40 I started to think about where I was at in life (nag iinarte kumbaga). 

I asked myself questions like "May na achieve na ba ako?" and "Maabutan ko pa kaya mga apo ko?" - Yup, I was totally in that mode. 

Give-away Part 1| Mamanee's Birthday Give-away with Papemelroti!

Lasses!I am shrieking in delight by finally hosting this wonderful give-away that I am so proud to have partnered with my teener-bopper inspiration: Papemelroti!

 

I have featured them previously when I had went to their main branch and met the very inspiring Patsy Alejandro-Paterno and also when my princess and I went to visit their Gateway Cubao branch which has a DIY section where you can decorate your purchased notebooks and journals for free.

Remember when I visited Papemelroti's main branch and met a true inspiration? 

The sales lady behind the counter told me that I should take my princess to their new branch in Gateway Cubao where they have a DIY corner and she could play with stamps there.

  

Feature| Papemelroti: My First and last love in Crafting and Stationery

I remember scribbling sweet nothings onto paper and sending them to my high-school boyfriend. Stationery sets were such a big hit back then and for 10PHP you could buy the scented type.

I then was introduced to Papemelroti by my highschool bestie Dyth. My first encounter with their store was in SM Megamall during our field trip. I was in awe with the cute designs, affordable tag prices and the brown colored textured paper which we fondly called "supot ng pandesal".
