Successful Stories with AMS Daily

Our good friend Alpha Sanford, creator of AMSDaily, a blog that evolved from a 30-day motivational conversation with her siblings, is a Filipina living in Massachusetts with her family. Founded in 2011, AMSDaily shares stories of extraordinary people from different backgrounds.  One of AMSDaily’s visions is to tell stories of remarkable Filipinas whose mission in life is to serve others and to live better. These individuals are inspirational success stories in their own rite, while proving their value to the community through working hard with passion, goals, and vision.

These stories are anecdotal tips on personal development. With the momentum resulting from a surge for women empowerment in the United States, she decided to take stories from her motherland, the Philippines, to show the world the understated efforts of Filipina women to inspire and encourage more of their own, like many of their counterparts from developed societies, to take control their own futures as a step towards becoming a truly progressive and nurturing society.

For the second time, Alpha features me again on her website. You may read the full online interview at this link. Thank you Alpha!

“Each handmade piece created by Palamuti was inspired by the uniqueness of the modern, empowered woman. Who better to represent us than real women in the real world? The objective of Palamuti’s Style Advocates is to find women with different personalities; women who exude confidence through their personal style. We want their stories to be shared with people with a love for art, beauty, hope and change."

Occasions of Joy

Joy wears Tanya Cordero, El Nido Likha, Rose Necklace over a black top. 

Joining bazaars has given us the opportunity to meet new people- from new customers, fellow artist-entreprenuers and bloggers. Joy Mendiola is the woman behind the blog "Occasions ofJoy". It was in 2012 when we joined the Global Pinoy Bazaar, a yearly bazaar organized by Yabang Pinoy, that promotes and cultivates a "community of entrepreneurs and consumers that value Filipino craftsmanship and culture." 

I shared the booth then with a fellow handmade brand, PiTaka , which was the brainchild of Ana Janer Locsin. It was our second time to join the yearly bazaar and I remember having the best moments and memories when I first joined. We met new friends and this second round was not a disappointment as well for it was when we met Joy. 

 

Joy is wearing our Willow Necklace when she covered the Property Brother's Event.

Joy featured us in 2012 on her blog,Occasions of Joy. It was not until recently, during the first quarter of this year, that we have reconnected over a cup of coffee at one of my favorite places in the Metro, Coffee Bean in Shangri-La. I asked her to help us to promote our revamped website, which features not only our works, but the creations of other Filipino women artisans.  Our meeting was like catching up among two old friends who haven't seen each other for a while, and Joy has been very supportive of Palamuti and our other artists ever since. Last February, Novie and I with Stephanie Lopez gave a workshop along with others on Occasions of Joys 5th anniversary. Paola Germar provided gift cards for the kids while Kim Basa sponsored giveaways for the volunteers, teachers and principals. 

She's definitely a fan of Steph Lopez's wire art necklace and this mom is rockin' it! 

Joy has be wearing our handmade pieces and continue to do so. Today is her 42nd birthday and this super woman deserves a shout out from us for bringing joy not only to her family but as well as to those people around her.

Mother's Day Palamuti

Enjoy 15% off on selected regular items! Use voucher code MOTHERSDAYPALAMUTI upon checkout.

Mother’s Day has been celebrated since the time of ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of ancient goddesses. The earliest known celebration in modern time however, can be attributed to the Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday”, which traditionally fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent. The holiday came to change in the 20^th century, and through the passage of time, it shed its religious roots and become a worldwide secular holiday.

Meet Christine & Gail: Fashionable, passionate sisters and mothers of Cayetano Legacy Collection, USA. 

Most countries around the world celebrate Mother’s Day, the dates, traditions, and stories of Mother’sDay vary from place to place, but traditionally, we usually present a gift to mothers, (and women) to show our appreciation. Keep in mind that Mothers Day is a time to celebrate the joys of having a mother. Reflect on her hopes and dreams, and plan out your gifts based on what she wants. You need not give the most expensive and luxurious present, but something unique, original, and heartfelt will surely be appreciated.
