My Top 5 Picks

Mabuhay!

1. WMF Coffee Pod Machine (available at Alessi stores)

One of the smallest coffee pad machines in the world. This also wins best design for individual coffee brewer in my books! The WMF 1 coffee pad machine will brew a perfect cup of coffee at the push of a button in less than one minute flat. Its one of the most compact coffee machines in the world.

It's now on sale at Alessi stores!

2. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Red Square

It instantly coats lips with rich pigment, imparting a velvet matte finish for seamless color. The long lasting yet non-drying formula is enriched with special emollients for a creamy texture, while a combination of unique silicones ensures long-lasting, velvety color for hours.

Must buy: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in"'Red Square". I own two orange-colored lipsticks: YSL Rouge Pur Couture and Mac that both look great when you first apply them but feathers out quickly. I love NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in "Red Square" because doesn't feather out compared to my other lipsticks. I also love the jumbo-size lip pencil! I want to buy more colors.

3. YSL’s Chyc Cabas

The "three B's": big, bold, and blue

I'm back to black so this bag adds a pop of color to my wardrobe.

4. Belkin TuneBase FM and TuneBase Direct (available at Anson's)

If you drive your own car, this device allows you to pick up a call on your iPhone while in the car, hands-free. Both TuneBase can also be used to listen to music from iPhone in your car.

I listen to the radio while I'm in the car so this particular car phone charger is perfect for me.

Features:
* Listen to music from your iPhone while it charges
* Talk on your iPhone and answer calls, hands-free, while driving
* With one push of a button, TuneBase FM’s ClearScan automatically finds the clearest FM station

5. Modern-Twist Kidz Placemats (available at Alessi stores) 

Modern-twist brings art to even the littlest table. Made from silky food-grade, hand silk-screened silicone, the mats won’t crease or rip. The mats are ideal for travel and mealtime activities.

Since both my kids doodle a lot, I got them their own placemats:

"Day at the Pond" for Dylan

"Hide & Seek" for Aryanna

The mats are doodle-friendly with the use of washable or dry erase markers—save paper/save trees, just clean off with a damp cloth or rinse. Color again and again.

• Free of BPA, lead, latex, phthalates + other harsh chemicals  
• Non-porous + germ-free surface
