The eternal question for most motorcycle and MX riders is goggles or glasses? Protective motorcycle glasses and goggles offer different advantages both in functionality and style. While some riders prefer the visibility eyeglasses offer, others want more full-face protection. Though much of this comes down to personal taste, here is a quick comparison between the benefits of motorcycle glasses and goggles. Seeing Is Believing Eyeglasses offer a multitude of benefits for riders at all times of the day.

Additionally, photochromic transition lenses can adjust to changing light levels as you ride. Finally, like your favorite motorcycle jackets , riding sunglasses add undeniable flair to your look.

Summer has officially started. It simply means packing our bags, getting out of the house and enjoying a much-deserved vacation. With the right research and timing, no one has a concrete excuse of not being able to afford a vacation. We have so many options nowadays including the free seats offered by airlines and no more fuel surcharge. I have always dreamed of spending one summer vacation is a mountain haven but I do not have the courage to go mountain climbing. I want to be close to nature yet keeping the luxuries. Something cozy, inspiring and perfect.  So, do you have any guesses about our #WHERETONEXT destination?  Well, it's part of the 7,107 islands of the Philippines and it's going to be at the SADDLEBACK HAVEN. SADDLEBACK HAVEN is a villa 2,800 feet above sea level. It is a 45-minute drive from Davao City.  Photo Credit: Saddleback Haven/ AIRBNB It features cool climate, fresh air, and lush greenery. The view at night is also breathtaking. 

Yes!!! It exists. Bench's ENVI line is made of bamboo fabric. It's considered to biodegradable, sustainable and eco-friendly while providing a smooth and comfortable feel. Bamboo is proclaimed as the world's most renewable material: it's naturally pest-resistant, grows incredibly fast and can actually help rebuild eroded soil. It takes just three or four years to go from seed to harvest and because the root network is so big, you don't even  need to replant - it just shoots right back up again. Bamboo, therefore, can be grown without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Interested to get one? These Bench ENVI Low-rise boyshorts are currently ON SALE at Bench  Ayala Malls Capitol Central  for only Php 100 (Original Price is Php 179.75) ** The packaging is made of plastic but it's reusable. This resealable plastic can be used to keep your valuables or documents. For me, we use it as money envelopes for budgeting.

Shopping for gifts is fun but challenging if the person you're gifting can afford or has everything she wants. T his is one of the reasons why I love the handcrafted pieces from this Bacolod-based Artisan,  Happy Crafter Ph . It makes gifting easier and more thoughtful. Every piece is unique and there will never be other pieces the same as the one you have. This is the beauty of having artisan pieces. It is made with love and each piece is special, thus making every piece art  in itself. How it is made? For nature collections, plants are made to dry anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
