Tis the Season to #StartCreating perfect cup with Nescafe Red Mug

After attending the Nescafe Red Mug launch, I have summed up my coffee-buying habits and found out that in my 2 1/2 month visits to my favorite coffee shop, I could have bought a coffee maker and create all the foamy coffees 24/7 at the comfort of my own home. But  the question lies in how much time do I have to make a gourmet coffee with my busy schedule?

Then I discover the wonder of NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine which is convenient and easy to use, and let you create a wide range of delicious and foamy cup. You can customize and adjust the coffee flavors to suit your own taste. Whether you enjoy your coffee strong or mild, you’ll be able to make the perfect cup for you, every time.

 In just two minutes, with the Nescafe Red Mug, you can have the premium coffee season with chocolate, vanilla or any recipes you have in mind.

The NESCAFÉ RED MUG was launched last Nov. 4 at the Blue leaf Pavillion and graced by celebrity ambassadors Denise Laurel, Raymond Gutierrez,  Bianca King and Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes which she co-hosted. The ambassadors were all game enough to make their personal coffee creations.

We, together with the celebrity ambassadors created our own gourmet of a coffee, with our celebrity partner Ms. Bianca King, she showed us how to whip up her personal creation "Bianca Double Choco Mocha" with Nescafe classic, chocolate syrup, Milo, and Nestle Coffee mate as the main ingredients, which we finished creating in less than 2 minutes. Our team finished first!

The NESCAFÉ RED MUG which was developed in Switzerland boasts of a coffee chamber with a unique cyclone that brings out coffee aroma and flavor. It also has a foaming jet technology that creates foam with ease, inspired by the barista steam jets you see in local coffee shops.

Glossy in NESCAFÉ’s signature red, the sleek NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine is sure to add
an element of style to your buffet table or kitchen counter. Whether you live in a studio
apartment, condo, or house, this compact machine is suitable for any home.

It’s the scent of NESCAFÉ CLASSIC that puts a smile on Denise Laurel’s face. “I love the
smell of coffee in the morning. The smell alone is enough to perk me up. Having a cup in the
morning is like getting a warm, fuzzy hug from my fiancé Sol,” she adds. Denise’s coffee
creation with NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine, a Hug in a Mug Latte, mixes cookie butter with
the flavor of NESCAFÉ CLASSIC and NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE. “It’s my very own pick me up
when I get home from a long shoot, tiring day, or anything in between! It’s so fun to use and
you can have fancy coffee in a snap!”

Raymond Gutierrez likes his coffee on the rocks. “I usually don’t have much time to myself
since my work keeps me constantly on the go. So my coffee moment first thing in the
morning is really just enjoying a nice, iced glass of my own creation, the Vanilla Chilled
Coffee made with NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine. My coffee officially starts my day.” Having a nice iced coffee prepared in a jiff anytime Raymond needs it, helps in keeping him relaxed despite his busy schedule. “It’s also the perfect thing to serve to friends when they come over and hang out!”

For a foodie like actress Bianca King, it’s all about taste and creation. “As with most of my
culinary creations this is something that I have tweaked to achieve the best possible drink.” she shares. “I love being able to create a gourmet cup of coffee at home anytime I want with the NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine,!” Her culinary coffee creation, Double Chocolate Mocha, blends flavors of NESCAFÉ CLASSIC with the creaminess of NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE and the sweetness of an extra helping of chocolate.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I am a creative spirit. I love putting my own spin on things
to make anything and everything I do uniquely me!,” said Tessa Prieto Valdes. “Christmas is
just around the corner, I decided to theme my creation with NESCAFE RED MUG Machine around my favorite time of the year. So this creation is my Christmas Cinnamon Cappuccino.” Tessa loves the foaming feature because it makes her feel like a legit barista when she uses it. “It’s so fun to use, and you can have a fancy coffee in a snap!”

Hundreds of aspirants and seasoned models trooped down SM Mega Fashion hall for the biggest casting call ever on May 15, 2014 to show that they have what it takes to be a part of TRESemme's 2014 Runway Show as TRESemmé, the official hair partner of Asia’s Next Top Model, mounts the biggest casting call to hit the country.

These models will have to prove their hair can rule the runway as they strut their stuff in front of a panel of TRESetting expert judges: top model and PR maven Apples Aberin, sought-after fashion show director Robby Carmona, and TRESemmé TRESetter Liz Uy. These judges are renowned for their ability to spot trendsetting style, the perfect walk, and salon-gorgeous hair.

The event’s host, TRESemme TRESetter Raymond Gutierrez reveals that the show itself won’t be easy. It will be filled with simultaneous pop-up runways, so the models will have to stand-out with their confidence and attitude when strutting their stuff on the catwalk. “We’re also on the lookout for those with looks that can adjust to various fashion styles,” says Judge Liz Uy. “We want models who can emulate High Street, Glam, and Couture styles to highlight the different segments and hairstyles of the main fashion show.”
