• Where food brings people together

  Bertucci's

  23 August 2005

  This restaurant has the best oven-baked bread rolls! Don't get me wrong there food is great too and are reasonable priced but the warm bread is simply indescribable. I recently went there with friends who I met in London and it was nice to know we were at a place where food brings people together.

• Lovemark to many people

  New Jersey

  24 August 2005

  New Jersey is a Lovemark to many people. It is a very culturally diverse and has a little bit of everything from malls to bowling alleys and who can forget about those wonderful diners? I mean famous people are breed here, such as Bette Midler, Jay Leno, Frank Sinatra, Tom Cruise, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen. I know people bash NJ because of the Turnpike...but no state is perfect but I think NJ is pretty close to it.

• The most stylish clothes

  H & M

  25 August 2005

  I simply love H & M. They always have the most stylish clothes and fun accessories! From shirts to skirts to a fun hat and dangling earrings. I like the stores in the USA but they don't compare to the mother stores I have seen in the UK. Hope more stores will open up here.

• Good drinks equals happy customer

  Surf City Squeeze

  25 August 2005

  Surf City has the absolutely best smoothies! I always get the strawberry-banana smoothie and it's heavenly. It's sweet but not too sugary and best of all healthy too. They have protein shakes and everything can be made into a smoothie there. Good service and good drinks equals happy customer.

• Thanks Alienware for being there

  Alienware

  25 August 2005

  I have a Silver Sentia laptop and it is great! All my previous laptops always had problems, technical, viruses, etc. so my friend recommended Alienware computers. It is sleek, stylish, and performs better than any other laptop I have had. Thanks Alienware for being there when other laptops have failed.

• Just draws you in with the most alluring eyes

  Aishwarya Rai

  27 August 2005

  If I was to nominate the most beautiful woman in the world it would be Aishwarya Rai. Not only was she Miss World in 1994 but she is also a famous model/actress. When I was studying in London I saw her in 'Bride & Prejudice' and read an article about her in a magazine. She has a humble nature and is very down to earth. Aishwarya just draws you in with the most alluring eyes and is naturally beautiful. If any one woman should be a Lovemark it should be her.

• Close to my heart

  Butlers Chocolates

  01 September 2005

  Butler's has the best chocolates I have ever tasted in my life. I was touring Dublin and ran into several Butler's shops and they simply have mouth watering chocolates and their hot chocolate drinks just send you to 'Cloud 9'. I wish there were some shops in the USA...but till then I hold Butler's close to my heart.

• Simply marvelous

  Bruges

  01 September 2005

  While studying abroad, I toured many places but no place was anything like Bruges in Belgium. It is not the usual city tour like Barcelona or Paris, but it quite wonderful little quaint place. There are water canals that run through Bruges and the architecture is simply marvelous. If anyone is looking for a break from the loud and cramped world, they should visit Bruges.

• Naruto...pass it on

  Naruto

  11 October 2005

  Wow, what can I say about Naruto, it really brings out the child in you. I thought I over grew anime but when my friend introduced me to Naruto, I fell in love with it after the 1st episode. I don't know what it is about this show, but it motivates me to do my best as well. Just by watching the characters work so hard to overcome obstacles, it gives me a sense of hope to achieve anything as long as I put my mind to it. I love it so much I introduced it to my siblings who love it too now. Naruto...pass it on.

• Sandwich-making into a new level

  Pret A Manger

  12 October 2005

  I was on my way to a job interview in NYC and low and behold I see a Pret A Manger before me. I stood there for a bit and reminiscence about my trip to London when I first went into a Pret A Manger. The sandwiches were delicious and the service was quite good as well. I was so happy to see a Pret in NYC...they took sandwich-making into a new level.

• The idea is fanta-bulous

  Bazura Bags

  29 October 2005

  I came upon these handbags when I was shopping on the internet and thought the idea is fanta-bulous (something between fantastic and fabulous). Not only are these bags stylish and cool, they are also environmentally friendly! These bags are made by the women in Philippines from recycled juice bags and there is such a large variety to choose from. Thanks Bazura bags for truly being a Lovemark.

• Build-a-Bear builds connections

  Build-A-Bear Workshop

  24 November 2005

  Build-a-Bear builds connections. Emotional connections. I brought my little sister there once and to be able to create a bear of one's own is a wonderful experience itself. The smile on her face made my day. It is such a satisfying feeling to create something that you love. Build-a-Bear is definately a Lovemark. Maybe they should change the name to Build-a-LoveBear.

• Makes me feel as if I'm living in a dream

  Anna Sui

  13 January 2006

  I love Anna Sui "Dream". I purchased it when I was in London and simply love it. It has a wonderful, delightful, and sweet scent. It is simple, elegant, and makes me feel as if I'm living in a dream.

• Quality over quantity.

  Donna Karan (DKNY)

  12 April 2006

  I simply love my DKNY Jeans! DKNY clothes in general are so stylish and true New York-wear. I just recently got DKNY jeans and they are most comfortable pair of jeans I've ever had. I mean they are a little pricey, but sometimes a girl must choose quality over quantity.

• Living in a painting

  Florence, Italy

  21 April 2006

  Of all the cities I travelled within Italy, I would have to say Florence is the best. The aesthetic nature of the entire environment just takes your breath away. So wonderfully designed it's as if I was living in a painting. From the Ponte Vecchio to the Duomo, Florence is full of archaic wonders.

• I didn't want to leave

  SABON

  06 May 2006

  I ran into this soap boutique in Soho NY where the employees were so nice and hospitable. I had to go in to check out the products. Not only are they beautifully crafted, the soaps are all natural. I bought a few and they gave me samples! I didn't want to leave it just smells so wonderful in there.

• A delightful drink

  Crystal Light

  13 May 2006

  I simply love these drinks especially the Crystal Light On the Go! It's so convenient when I'm in a rush I just take the packets with me and add with water and voila - a delightful drink to put a smile on face and just make the day go by nicer.

• When I walk into Ikea I'm walking into home

  IKEA

  28 July 2006

  I simply love Ikea for its warm environment and inviting nature! When I walk into Ikea I'm walking into home because everything in display can be touched and walked through it's so different from other furniture stores. Not to mention it is affordable and stylish. Ikea must be my second home from home.

• There was leg room!

  Emirates Airline

  28 July 2006

  Emirates is a great airline. The staff were very hospitable and there was leg room! Leg room is very important for comfort and I thank Emirates for realizing that.

• A lovely city indeed

  Barcelona

  12 January 2007

  Barcelona...a lovely city indeed! I remember all the fond memories you have given me. Your parks were full of life with children laughing joyously. I remember a delightful row boat ride we used by the pond. The people are delightful and always cheery. And who can forget the architectual genius of Gaudi’s structures which are scattered throughout Barcelona?

• I always come back ...

  IKEA

  09 February 2007

  Words can’t express how much I LOVE IKEA! It is just phenomenal, the simple to innovative designs of their furniture and housewares. Other furniture stores don’t have the warm comforting feeling that an IKEA showroom can provide nor do they have the IKEA cafe either. Every time I make a trip there I always come back with something new, and because of their incredible prices I always come back with more than one item.

• Dream

  Anna Sui

  16 March 2007

  I always see ads for Anna Sui perfume so I decided to buy ’Dream’ one day. The name itself is the perfect description of the heavenly scent that comes out of this perfume. Everytime I put it on, it reminds me of a clear crisp day where the sky is blue and the light is shining upon me as if it was my own special day.

• Something indeed

  Napa Valley

  16 March 2007

  Napa Valley is something indeed. I have a small troop of friends that I always travel with, we took a trip to San Francisco and got a car to drive to Napa Valley. It’s a beautiful drive and break from the city and the wine tasting...what can I tell you about the wine tasting? It’s truly a fun and delightful experience. The environment, the various wineries, and the quality of the wines are just spectacular! I brought 2 bottles back because the winery we went to only sold out of Napa Valley. I cracked open one of the bottles recently and it tasted fresh, sweet, and always brings back fond memories of the Valley.

• The creamy center...

  Cadbury

  06 April 2007

  This Sunday will be Easter, the holiday where I always become nostalgic for Cadbury chocolate eggs! It seems they are only available during the Easter holiday. I remember the first time I had it was as a young child at a circus with my class. I was upset because my chocolate egg was crushed in my bookbag, but no worries because my teacher gave me 2 eggs to make me feel better! The creamy center always fills me up with a sweet, warm feeling inside.

• Ah the ultimate shoe wear

  PUMA

  13 April 2007

  Ah the ultimate shoe wear. I remember them in the 80s where all the hip people wore them because they were so stylish. Two decades have passed and they still reign supreme in the trend-setting world. I don’t know if it is the sillhouette of the Puma, the movement of the stripes, or just the overall feel when you where them that makes you feel proud to have Pumas.

• Certain degree of cool

  Diesel

  13 April 2007

  The connection I have with an evocative memory usually reminds me of being clad in Diesel jeans. They are a beacon of aloneness - when I can be without frenetic stress - and I chose to wear them over and over for the exact reason. Strangely, this feeling nevers wears off, which suggests that it is a deeper connection to time, place, comfort and a certain degree of cool. That kind of encompasses how we should all live, through the lens of a pair of jeans, somehow, and suprisingly, it works for me!

• A role model for all

  Virgin Atlantic

  07 September 2007

  Richard Branson is quite the innovator. When I’m on a Virgin Atlantic plane, I can look forward to friendly service and an enjoyable flight. They provide complimentary hospitality packets for long flights to make passengers feel comfortable all the way to their destination. I love the bright cheerful colors and the best part is Virgin cares about the environment with their option to offset carbon emissions! Comfort, relaxation, and environmentally aware, Virgin is a role model for all airplane competitors.
