RACKS Opens Two New Stores With NEW LOOK!

I have been thinking of putting up a MOMMY PEHPOT list page. A list of restaurants, products and places that got me raving for days or weeks. Still a work in progress but I already have a list! Included on the list is RACKS.. because of so many reasons!

Reason number 1: It’s one of those restaurants that keeps us full without hurting our budget. Imagine a bill of less than 2000 PhP for 6? We love ordering Racks Sampler, it got all the grills that we want. And we love the mud pie and the cheesecake for desserts

Reason number 2: The ribs! Need I say more?

FYI: Aside from the lip-smackin’ good baby ribs and the slow-cooked classic pork ribs, RACKS also serves flame-grilled Angus beef rib eye seasoned with signature steak rub paired with red wine au jus. For those who prefer chicken, the juicy hickory-smoked chicken and the good ol’ crispy Southern style fried chicken are go-to options.

Reason number 3: The sauce, which you can take home by buying a bottle or two! It’s worth it, I promise!

Photo exhibit: Friends from ARC PR and RACKS sent some BBQ sauce to us.. timing that our last bottle of the extra hot sauce is almost empty!

Reason number 4: The staff are really nice and RACKS is very family oriented.

Our favorite branch is their EL Pueblo branch.. because it’s the nearest and parking is easy!

What’s new with our favorite ribs restaurant?

RACKS recently opened its 15th and 16th branches:

RACKS Timog Avenue
RACKS Evia Lifestyle Center, Alabang

The new brances debut a new cozier look!

“We’ve decided to change our look to make the RACKS experience more enjoyable and authentic,” says Chukri Prieto, RACKS’ Managing Director. “A lot of people don’t know this, but RACKS stands for Real American Country Kitchen Style. We serve classic southern country dishes and we want that reflected on our restaurants’ design. In essence, what we want to do is to create a warm, homey atmosphere where people can sit back, relax and have fun while enjoying great comfort food with their significant other, family or friends.”

“We’ve committed ourselves to really upping our game this year,” shares Prieto. “We want everyone to watch out for the surprises we have under our sleeves. We’re going to be so much bigger and better, all in the name of providing everyone a more authentic and comforting experience.”

Other RACKS branches:

Festival Supermall
Greenhills
Paseo de Magallanes
Paseo de Santa Rosa
Robinson’s Manila
SM Fairview
SM Mall of Asia
SM Megamall
SM North
SM Pampanga
SM Southmall

Love RIBS as much as we do? How do you want it served? Hot sauce or just regular Barbecue sauce?

The Beauty Miracle That Is Pantene

I was given a sample of this Cosmopolitan Beauty Crush and perfect timing because my hair screams for a MIRACLE!

My hair is usually manageable, in fact it’s a wash and wear kind of hair. No conditioners needed, no blow drying and yet it looks like it just had a rebond. Lately, I noticed that my hair is not as good as it was. Example.. I love twirling my hair and sometimes make a knot out of it… usually, the knot unties naturally but not anymore! I had to cut a portion of my hair (good thing it was at the end) because the knot won’t let go. That’s when I realized my hair needs treatment and that’s also the time I got my hands on Pantene Miracle #PerfectTiming #Destined

I got this yesterday and tried it as soon as I can..

Miracle indeed! Look how tangle-free my hair was! (watch the short vid) That’s my wet hair after using #PanteneMiracle, normally my hair is a mess after a shower but with Pantene 3 minute Miracle, I don’t even need to come my hair! #beautybyMP
A video posted by @mommypehpot on Jan 28, 2015 at 11:24pm PST

Watch the video! Normally, after a bath, my hair would be messy and full of tangles.. but look!

What I like most about Pantene Miracle is the smell. I used this around 9 AM today and the smell is still the same.

It’s also easy to apply ~~though a bit hard to dispense.~~ After sometime, I realized it was not really hard to dispense as long as the bottle is kept uptight. A little squeeze will do to get the amount that your hair needs.

A tube is 180 ml and cost 159 PhP. If you want to try it, you can avail free samples from www.everydayme.com.ph or you can get it from Zalora at 50% OFF! (Click the banner for the link)

I bought 14! Because it’s really THAT good!

In fact, in a recent survey among Filipinas, more women rated the new Pantene 3 Minute Miracle as very good and excellent compared to a regular conditioner. 8 out of 10 women gave 3 Minute Miracle top marks, making it superior in:

1. Improving hair health
2. Helping repair damage
3. Leaving hair smooth
4. Strengthening each strand of hair
5. Preventing split ends
6. Providing immediate results

As of now, I can say it really leaves my hair smooth. My hair is less tangled and when I comb it, I noticed less hair fall due to breakage. As I have said, it really smells good. I still have to see if it can really improve my hair’s health and if it can really strengthen my hair. I don’t think I have to wait that long since Pantene Miracle is specially designed for daily use.

Do I recommend it? Oh YES! YES! YES! This is the best hair conditioner I have tried. I don’t usually recommend hair products, as I have said, I don’t need one.. and I tend to be LOYAL to a brand. That alone would tell you that this product is really that good. So gooo! HOARD!

EDIT: It’s the best conditioner and I’m sticking with it!

Do you color your hair too? Does it need conditioner too? I suggest you give Pantene 3 Minute Miracle a try!
