Best vacuum ever!

Confession: We haven't really vacuumed the house in a long, long while. We've been relying on walis and dusters, which aren't the most efficient cleaning tools. Plus, they just stir up the dust, so horrible to Vince and me since we have allergies. So why aren't we using the vacuum? Because the noise freaks out the kids, especially Iñigo.

So imagine my happiness when Electrolux came out with the UltraSilencer Green vacuum! How do I love it? Let me count the ways:

1. It's so powerful! 
I tried it out on the carpet and I am very impressed at the suction. It is so powerful, it sticks to the carpet.  And I could really hear and feel the carpet being cleaned. Plus, the vacuum hardly makes any noise that it didn't scare Vito at all. In fact, he even wanted to play with it! 


 2. It's energy-efficient! 
Here's better news: Even though the suction power is huge, electric consumption isn't! The 1250W motor is so efficient—it has the power of 2000W but consumes 40% less energy. 

 3. It's environmentally friendly!
Not only does it consume less energy, but it's also made with recycled black plastic material. Plus, it's designed to clean the exhaust air by 99.9% before releasing it back to our home. I love that! 


 So if you have a problem with hot exhaust air that smells dusty, you'll love this vacuum, too. When I used the UltraSilencer Green, Vince asked, "There's no exhaust?" There is! But the air is cleaned so well, we don't feel or smell that it's exhaust!

 4. It's designed well!
Even though more than half of the plastic used to make the UltraSilencer Green is recycled, it doesn't look recycled. In fact, it looks so sexy. But it doesn't just look good, it also is designed to be efficient. 

 And the best reason of all is... 

5. It's so quiet! 
Here is a comparison of our old vacuum and the UltraSilencer Green:


See how Iñigo reacts to the noise? But with the Electrolux vacuum, he barely even noticed it! I love it!


Clean house, clean air, no noise, kind to the environment and to the budget, the Electrolux UltraSilencer Green is the dream vacuum for every family! I super love it!


The Electrolux UltraSilencer Green retails for P13,995 and is available at selected branches of Anson's, Robinsons Appliance, and Metro Gaisano. If you buy now, you get P500 off the SRP and there's 0% interest on a 6-month credit card installment plan!

I got the pink!

Zalora ships fast! I ordered Sunday midnight (so technically Monday morning) and I got my iPad and phone cases Tuesday lunch! Wowza!

Packaged in Zalora-print tissue paper.

The Paperthings plastic boxes are cool, too, although I think hardly necessary. But that's just me.

My pretty pink goodies! They are made of recycled leather, which is "ground down leather scraps that are a by-product of leather manufacturing." I'm quoting from the information card, which is also made of recycled leather. It's kinda like them saying, "No tree was hurt in the making and packaging of this product." Which is of course not true but kinda cool anyway.

Recycled leather does not smell like real leather. But it still smells great! It's kinda stiff, though. I need to push in my gadget and pull it out with force. I'm hoping that with regular use, the leather will soften up a bit, allowing for more ease in use.

The quality is blameless, I must say. Really well made! And that beautiful pink color? Perfect. I'm a-wanting the other colors now but I'm simplifying life this year. So I won't buy. It will be Paperthinks's leather envelopes and leather-bound notebooks that I'll buy next!

Shop at Zalora now!

Topaz Fashion: What I wore some days of this busy week

I keep forgetting to take photos of my clothes! After all this time, I still feel so awkward posing in front of the camera. I keep hearing Tyra Banks's voice in my head: "Are you showcasing the dress best? Is your neck elongated? Is your face fierce?" Top Model has ruined me forever.

My ISO settings aren't correct this week so I have all these fuzzy, grainy pics. Will fix that next week! Meanwhile, here's what I wore...

Meeting. Topshop T-shirt, Zara pencil skirt, Zara ballet flats, Kate Spade tote.

Shopping. K & Company dress, Charles & Keith sandals, Amina Aranaz Rags to Riches woven bag. I'll write about this fun shopping trip next week!

Event. Zara dress, The Ramp flats, fascinator courtesy of SM Babies. The event was for the launch of SM Babies. I'll write about it on Topaz Mommy next week (meanwhile, check out its new look!). 

I must improve my pose! I must improve where I take these photos. I must always do it in light!!!

Anyway, I miss accessories. I haven't been able to use my earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Bracelets dig into my bony wrist when I'm carrying the kids. Necklaces get chewed on. Earrings are pulled at. So I've been left with just dresses. I guess this means I must start using fabulous bags! But let me edit my current collection first. Then we'll see!

Happy Friday, folks!
