Be dazzled by the Disneyland Diamond Celebration Merchandise

It's a shopper's paradise at the Disneyland Resort this year, because it's Disneyland's 60th Anniversary, and the Diamond Celebration Merchandise collection has hit stores around the resort! Over the course of the celebration, Disney will release more than 500 merchandise items, including apparel, accessories, headwear, home décor, souvenirs, toys, pins, D-Tech, collectibles and more.

On our recent trip to the Disneyland Resort, the boys and I had the chance to meet with Summer from Disney's Merchandising Department, to take a look at some of the merchandise that Disney has released for the Diamond Celebration.  These items are now on sale, only at the Disneyland Resort, for a limited time.

Check out our video below!  It was so much fun going through the whole table of items!  My favorite has got to be the Dooney and Burke shopper tote.

Take a closer look at some of the items that Summer showed us in the video:

Mickey and Minnie Diamond Anniversary plush

Caramel apples, cake pops, marshmallow wands, photo album, autograph book, mug, and popcorn bucket (you can see more special popcorn buckets in my Disneyland Diamond Celebration Treats post).

The Diamond Celebration version of the classic Mickey ears.

This is the Made With Magic paintbrush that Jammy was holding. Turn it on, and the tip glows with changing colored lights.  Press the button with the magic wand icon in order to change the color of the Made With Magic Mickey Ears and Made With Magic Mickey Mitt.

That's only a small subset of the items available!

Items for the home include pillows, frames, blankets, and mugs.

Fashion items include shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, caps, hats, scarves, and jewelry.

I couldn't resist trying on the sparkly Minnie ears!

Pins, pins, pins!  You know we love trading pins!  The 60th Anniversary pins are a great commemorative item because they are so inexpensive, starting at just $9.95 for a pin, $9.95 for a lanyard, and $5.95 for a plastic pouch.  Stay tuned for a separate post featuring a closer look at the 60th Anniversary pins!

Which Diamond Celebration merchandise item would you most like to own?

UNIQLO opens in the Great Mall of the Bay Area

I remember the first time I saw a UNIQLO store.  It was in San Francisco, about 4 years ago, and I couldn't understand why there was such a long line to get in.  It's not Disneyland, people!  I didn't join the line.  A few months after that, I found myself back in the same place, and this time there was no line to enter the store, so I went in.  And fell in love. NO WONDER there was a long line!  What awesome clothes!  Lots of basics, lots of classics, in a rainbow of colors!  And oh, the prices!  The lines at the checkout stand were crazy, but this time I didn't care.

At the time, UNIQLO San Francisco was the only store in the Bay Area, but I didn't care; it was worth the drive. I'm addicted to their jean-style leggings, which are so stretchy and comfy and easy to wear over a sweater or long tank top or tunic.  When UNIQLO opened at the Valley Fair Mall, I rejoiced..... and rejoiced again when I heard that UNIQLO was opening at one of my favorite malls: the Great Mall of the Bay Area!  I had the good fortune to be invited to the opening party, and I had a great time:

When I got to the Great Mall, partygoers were milling outside the new store entrance, sipping drinks and watching a taiko performance.  The Mayor of Milpitas, the General Manager of UNIQLO, and the General Manager of the Great Mall (as well as some live mannequins, all dressed in the latest UNIQLO wear!) were all in attendance.

After the taiko performance......

.... the store was officially declared open!

The UNIQLO staff was lined up to greet everyone.  I must have been the third or fourth person to step inside the store!

UNIQLO has been garnering rave review ever since it started in Tokyo, and now it's all over the world, including Milpitas!

To celebrate the store opening, select items were on sale at crazy discounts, like these jeans for $3.49.  Yes, you read that right.

Everyone in attendance received a gift card to shop for their favorite UNIQLO fashions (they have mens', womens' and childrens'!) as well as a cute UNIQLO tote bag.  The store opened to the general public the next day, and the first 150 in line to enter also received the tote bags.

UNIQLO is definitely worth checking out, whether you're in Milpitas, in San Francisco, at your local UNIQLO store, or online!

Spring Style with Tea's new Bali Collection

Our samples from Tea Collection's new Bali line have arrived, and I couldn't be more excited! Their boys' clothing is fun-loving and cool enough to appeal to 3Po and Jammy, but it's sophisticated enough for a grownup's sense of style. Even Alfie wishes they made everything in adult sizes! The latest collection is inspired by the jungles and temples of Bali, so everything is colorful and bold -- but it also has a vintage vibe that tones down the cartoon-y feel.

Their Monkey King tee was inspired by the Ramayana Monkey Chant dance. 3Po loves it because it's apple green (green is his favorite color), and I love it because of the monkey mask graphic.

Here are some ways to wear the Monkey King tee: layered over a lemon yellow shirt, or underneath a button-down shirt. The brown ticking stripe shorts are also part of the Bali collection, as is the Roll-Up Safari Shirt.


It didn't take Jammy long to figure out which one was his favorite item in the collection. The vehicle on Katut's Motorbike Tee reminds us of the little 50cc and 100cc motorcycles that putt-putt around the streets in the provinces of the Philippines.


We paired this tee with the Kecak French Terry shorts, also from the Bali collection. You might think the plaid fabric looks stiff and itchy, but these shorts are true to their name: they are made with soft, stretchy French terry (not terrycloth like in towels!) that feels so comfy.


If it gets cold out, ask your son to slip a Desa Stripe Hoodie underneath his tee. The outfit goes really well with the Ikat Ripstop shorts, which might look plain and boring, but if you click on the link and look closely, you'll see the fabric actually has a subtle Indonesian Ikat print.
One of the things I love best about this collection is how Tea has managed to infuse each piece of clothing with a bit of Balinese culture, whether it's the material, the print, the graphic or the name. You can read all about the rich cultures and environments all around the world that serve as Tea's inspiration for their clothing on their blog -- just head to the Behind the Design section and prepare to take a trip around the world!

Introducing Tea's Bali collection

Like a fresh breath of spring air, Tea Collection's new Bali line for boys and girls has arrived! The new collection is full of bold designs and bright colors that make me feel like I'm back home in the Philippines. Here are some of my favorites:

Green is 3Po's favorite color, so this alligator shirt is a no-brainer. He lives the winter out in short sleeves, so this shirt works year-round.

Sturdy blue jeans go with anything!

When gale-force winds blow, 3Po finally does get chilled -- but he won't wear a heavy jacket (the kid has lava for blood!), so he can put this cute lime shirt on top of the alligator tee and still look cool.

For girls, I'm loving this Lotus Batik Knot Dress, with the stylish cross-wrap front that Tea Collection is famous for, but Tea has given it a small (and literal!) twist at the waistband. The batik print looks so feminine, yet sassy!

Don't forget leggings to go underneath. Your girl can wear these capri-length leggings with some high boots so she stays warm during the winter months, then wear them with sandals in the spring and summer.

A beautiful magenta colored hoodie finishes the outfit off to perfection.

Hang on, why do I need to put together my own Tea outfits when they can do it for you? This Magnolia Batik 6-piece set has everything your daughter needs to mix and match for spring!

Check out the new Batik collection at Tea's online store -- and if you don't find the size you want, be patient, because they are gradually adding sizes for every product! They'll be fully stocked up by tomorrow, so you can order to your heart's content.

Casual Chic with Shabby Apple

Shabby Apple is well known for their feminine, flirty, fashionable dresses. Women of all shapes and sizes can feel pretty in a Shabby Apple dress! Their holiday collection, Tinseltown, is certainly all you need to look festive and glamorous at all those holiday parties, and their vintage-style dresses are perfect for so many occasions.

However, women also need to know that Shabby Apple doesn't just make party dresses, or date dresses, or lunch-out-with-the-girls dresses. In fact, Shabby Apple dresses can be worn for no occasion at all. I'm not suggesting you should be cooking dinner in a gorgeous Madison Ave or even more casual (but equally gorgeous) Pina Colada dress, a la June Cleaver. I'm saying Shabby Apple has dresses you can go grocery shopping in, or chasing after your kids in the playground in, or hiking (okay, walking) in a forest in -- while still looking gorgeous. Here are some of my favorite casual Shabby Apple dresses:

The El Dorado -- easy, breezy and beautiful. How about that nature hike?


The Atlantic Fog -- wear this instead of your sweatpants set (it's just as comfy) and you'll be the most fashionable mom in your playgroup!

My current favorite -- the Da Vinci. In fact, I've raved about it so much that Shabby Apple actually sent me this dress so I could try it for myself! You've seen how it looks on the model above, now here's how it looks on a "real" person like me:

The Da Vinci is the cutest, most comfortable t-shirt dress ever! It's made with soft, thin jersey cotton that feels great from the first time you wear it. I've washed and worn it many times in the 4 weeks that I've owned it, and it has yet to pill or fade. The skirt does tend to cling due to static, but I've found that rubbing it down with a dryer sheet can help straighten things out. I love the puffed sleeves, a-line skirt and waistband because they give the dress a feminine touch.


Here's a photo of the dress, close up. The front kangaroo pocket keeps things casual, but you can easily dress it up (without feeling too overdressed!) with a black belt, boots, and chain necklace strand like I did. In colder weather you can add leggings or skinny jeans. You can just as easily dress it down in warmer weather by leaving out the accessories (except maybe a wide-brimmed straw hat) and slipping on a pair of flip-flops. I just know this is going to be one of my favorite summer dresses!

Last tip: I would definitely order a size down as the website recommends for this dress. The dress you see on me is a size medium, and my other Shabby Apple dresses are a size large.

What to expect when you get a spa treatment (courtesy of the Spa at the Four Seasons Silicon Valley)

The holidays are a busy, stressful time of the year, and Silicon Valley is a busy, frenetic kind of place. Who would have thought there would be a place right in the heart of it that you can escape to and get away from it all? The Four Seasons Hotel at Silicon Valley is located right off the busy, noisy 101 freeway. Right across the highway there's a huge strip mall with retailers like IKEA, Best Buy and the Home Depot. All around the place, people and buses and bikes and cars are hustling and bustling -- but from inside the hotel, you would never know. And once you step inside their Spa, you literally enter an oasis of calm and peace.

Last week the Spa at Four Seasons Silicon Valley invited me to try one of their spa treatments and experience their luxurious service. I'm not a regular spa-goer (although I probably would be if I could afford it!), but I love indulging in a pampering session as a special treat. I've been running myself ragged lately, so in keeping with my newly adopted mantra of Taking Care of Me, I gladly accepted -- and I'm sharing every step of my experience on this post. I know that many of you already know the drill (and some of you may even have a treatment every second Tuesday), but some of you may never have been to a spa and are wondering what the heck goes on in there! You might be hesitant to ask around (for fear of people saying, What? you've never been to a spa??), so this post will give you a general idea.


1) We started with a delicious lunch at the hotel restaurant, Quattro. I'll blog about their superb food in a future post, but for now I'll just say that it was everything a pre-spa lunch should be: nourishing, hydrating, but on the light side. The spa can actually put together a package for you that includes lunch, but if you don't avail of that service, just try to eat light before your treatment.

2) After lunch, we left the restaurant and headed to the spa. Once inside the women's locker room, I was given a spa robe, a pair of slippers, and a locker to put my things in. You are supposed to disrobe for spa body treatments, but if you are extremely uncomfortable about being totally naked, they will give you some disposable underpants to put on. In any case, you're wearing a thick spa robe, so you're not walking around in your birthday suit.

3) Before my treatment, I spent about 10 minutes in the steam room -- this isn't the case for every type of spa treatment, but the spa director suggested it for mine. The steam room is entirely optional, and spa guests can use it before or after their treatments if they wish. If you do use the steam room, just remember to stay well-hydrated (the Spa has a dispenser of iced water right outside the steam room) and watch the clock, because you shouldn't stay inside a steam room for longer than 12-15 minutes. If only there were some sort of clock inside the steam room! I had to keep poking my head outside the door to peek at the clock (maybe they did that on purpose, so people wouldn't stay inside for too long?).

4) Once I got out of the steam room, a spa attendant came to fetch me, and led me to a private spa room where I'd be receiving the treatment. I didn't take my phone into the room (yes, that's how relaxed and unplugged I was!), so I couldn't take a photo of the room, but here's a photo from their website:


Soft instrumental music was playing in the room, and my spa attendant dimmed the lights down even further, so everything was soothing, relaxing and utterly calming. And the treatment hadn't even started!

5) The attendant left the room so I could disrobe and slip underneath the sheets; she returned after about 5 minutes, and started the treatment that I had selected, a Body Sculpting Cellulite and Colon Therapy treatment. Here's a description:

Redefine and smooth your silhouette. A detoxifying fennel and birch peel-off body mask works in combination with specialist massage techniques to deeply cleanse the body’s systems, firm and smooth skin, stimulate circulation and reduce fluid retention. Cleansing of the colon through abdominal massage helps to detoxify the body from the inside out.

Pretty radical, huh? It sounded like quite a technical treatment, not something a first-timer or infrequent spa-goer would try. And abdominal massage? Colon Therapy? Gulp. I've always been a bit nervous about massages, because every time I get a hand or foot massage during a manicure or pedicure, they hurt. I didn't relish the thought of pain coursing through my body, but I decided to be a bit adventurous and put my trust in the Four Seasons.

I'm so glad I did! There was no unspeakable torture, just a wonderfully relaxing experience. The first thing the attendant did was lightly brush my body down with a cactus-bristle brush, in order to exfoliate the skin. Then she lightly massaged my legs, arms and abdomen. It didn't hurt at all; it felt absolutely wonderful! I think it was the first massage I've ever truly enjoyed.

Next up was the body wrap. The attendant slathered a body mask of fennel and birch all over my legs. The body mask was very cool and wet; the attendant warned me that some people find the smell a bit strong, but I had no problem with it.

Once I was covered in goo, she wrapped my legs up in plastic, then moved on to the Colon Therapy. She asked me to inhale slowly, then exhale, and as I exhaled she moved her hands over my abdomen in an upward, sideways, then downward motion, following the path of my intestine. When she first did it, I tensed my ab muscles because she was applying a bit of pressure, but once I got familiar with what she was doing, I relaxed, and it didn't hurt.

Next, she moved on to a head massage. I thought the pressure was a bit too much when she started massaging my temples, but before I could work up the energy to ask her to ease up, she moved on to massaging the nape of my neck, and I immediately dissolved into a contented heap. I drifted in and out of sleep throughout the entire 1-hour treatment, and before I knew it, the attendant was scrubbing the goo off my legs, and it was over.


6) After my treatment, I spent a few minutes relaxing in the spa lounge, sipping a cup of tea. It was a cold, rainy day, otherwise I probably would have spent some time at the pool, which is right outside the spa area. The Four Seasons Silicon Valley pool is amazing (I was there for an event a couple of years ago), and if you go to their spa, you should make sure you leave some time at the end of your treatment to relax.

7) Time to re-enter the real world -- but not without indulging in what I'm going to call their Rainforest Shower. The spa showers have showerheads directly above you and on two sides of the shower stall, as well as a handheld showerhead, so you are literally sprayed with water from all sides. I could have stayed in that shower all day! Here's a photo of it (the spa locker is not far from the showers so I quickly grabbed my phone and snapped this photo):


I left the Spa relaxed, but rejuvenated at the same time. It felt absolutely wonderful to have someone taking care of me for a change, and it's the perfect way to stay sane during the holidays! I highly recommend the Spa at Four Seasons Silicon Valley, and if the spas at the other Four Seasons locations are anything like this one, you should check them out!



If you live near the Four Seasons Silicon Valley, here are some great spa specials you can take advantage of (check your local Four Seasons property for spa rates, treatments and specials):

Count down to Halloween with Pottery Barn Kids

I love giving our home a Halloween makeover; starting October 1 I begin to cover our windows and walls with spiderwebs, ghosts and other fun Halloween decor. Over the years I've amassed a sizeable collection of Halloween decor -- candles, figurines, wall hangings, tablecloths, and anything that will get us and our visitors into the Halloween spirit.

Our latest decor item comes courtesy of Pottery Barn Kids -- they sent us a Halloween Countdown Calendar to make the suspense of waiting for October 31 easier and more fun. It's perfect for our back kitchen wall, where a poster of Napa Valley usually hangs:



In previous years, I've hung plastic Halloween posters, with ghouls or witches on them, the kind you can get at drugstores and dime stores. They're cheap-looking, and no matter how long they hang, you can never get the folds out! This calendar is much better. I love the whimsical, handmade, vintage look! It came with a hanging pole (we covered the nail in the wall with a little rubber bat) and it's made with heavy felt, so it hangs down nicely. You can also personalize it with your name at the bottom for an extra $7.



However, it's not just a great Halloween wall hanging; the Countdown Calendar has 31 little felt pockets sewn in so you can hide little toys and treats, just like an advent calendar. The pockets are pretty small, and you don't want to stretch the felt, so you won't be able to tuck in a king-sized chocolate bar -- but that's a good thing. I've placed little erasers and plastic spiders and rubber witch fingers and stickers, and my 3 kids are going to take turns retrieving the day's toy. The Oct. 31 pocket will have a small chocolate inside, and it will belong to ME.

The Pottery Barn Kids Halloween Countdown Calendar is on sale right now for $44.99. Remember, the sooner you get it, the more fun you'll have with it!

Southern Living Style

It has been almost seven years since our big remodel (we added a second floor to our home, nearly doubling the square footage), and after seven years of use, certain areas are starting to show wear and tear, notably the kitchen, the living room and the guest room. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, the living room sofa needs upholstering, our kitchen cabinets need refacing, and so on. It's the perfect opportunity to revamp and refresh these areas, so we've turned to some books and magazines for inspiration. One great book is Southern Living Style. Even though our home is in the Craftsman style, I've found lots of inspiration for how we want to update the look of our home!

About the book:

Introducing the most comprehensive design book from Southern Living magazine, the arbiter of all things Southern. Southern Living Style is the definitive guide for creating unique, but approachable spaces infused with Southern sensibility.

Gracious hospitality, warmth and effortless elegance signify great Southern style. Like the consummate host, the well-appointed Southern home embraces guests and draws them in to linger. Tour the most inspired rooms that have graced the pages of Southern Living magazine in this 288-page guide and learn how to adopt a similar air of timeless ease, based on your personal style and budget.

Key features include:

• Defining Southern Style: From heirlooms to monograms, discover new ways to celebrate traditional icons.
• Reclaim It! Tips to turn grandma’s attic finds into updated treasures.
• Solutions: Top Southern designers offer solutions for design dilemmas.
• Style on a Budget: Identify individual style and build a room around a single inspiration—the color of a scarf, the pattern of a fabric, even a tag-sale relic.
• Why it Works?: A piece-by-piece deconstruction of rooms to show the key components required to achieve a particular look. From family friendly to classic, discover what to start with, top with and add to make a room personal, stylish and functional.
• Southern Style File: A black book of editors’ favorite designers, retailers, and more.
• Defining Southern Style: A glossary of helpful “decorator speak” terms.

I love this book. I could leaf through its pages again and again, and here's why:

* The photos. The photos alone are a great reason to buy this book. They are absolutely gorgeous! Every room featured looks like it came straight out of a magazine -- which, of course, it was, since they have all graced the pages of Southern Living magazine.

* This book is not just for show: it's a great reference for anyone planning for a decorating project, no matter how large or small. It's filled with practical tips and advice for pulling together the Southern look.

* The authors deconstruct each of the rooms featured in the book and point out some key components in the room, so you can do the same with your own rooms.


My favorite sections are the kitchen, bathrooms and kids' rooms because even though our home is by no means Southern (we have a Craftsman home), there are so many ideas we could apply to our own home (like decorating the walls of your bathroom with antique paintings!). Southern Living Style is the perfect idea book as well as the perfect coffee table book, especially if your home is also decorated in the Southern style. But even if you don't you'll want to spend time browsing through the book. That casually elegant, comfy, shabby-chic mix of classic and modern is so inviting, it makes me want to jump into the pages and move right in!
