Part 2 - @raw.tura 5th anniversary post. Some of the homes and spaces we were lucky to have filled. It has always been a dream of ours to fill in spaces with pieces we liked but we never imagined that we will be the one making it.

It’s never easy to start a business. It’s not always good. Like any work, it comes with challenges, stress and unplanned events. But you all keep us going. We are thankful for all of the trust and love that you show. Thank you for supporting local and thank you for the patience. ✨ Always looking forward to what’s ahead and seeing ideas come to life!
Honored to have ARC Botanical Gin and ARC Barrel Reserve Gin recognized and awarded two medals at the prestigious and highly competitive World Spirits Awards 2019!
This year’s annual awards were held at the Nardini Distillery, in their amazing “Bolle,” in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.
Historically dominated by world-class artisanal distillers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, this is the first time a distillery from the Philippines has been represented at the WSA. Mabuhay!

Like Ms. Catriona Gray’s mother, my mom also once dreamt that I become a beauty queen. I never really saw myself as one though, it was never my desire.. at saka, height pa lang bagsak naman na ako e! Pwede din doktor, sabi niya, which was never gonna happen because I don’t even like the sight of blood. Tapos naging pag aartista na lang nauwi ung pangarap ng nanay ko for me. Ayun natupad naman, even though it was never my first love kaya naiwanan ko din. My mom is very different from me though, we have always clashed. This is why we don’t have the Hallmark kind of mom and daughter relationship. I believe she still secretly thinks I am a failure for leaving showbiz to be “just a house wife” or a “full time mom”. My definition of success is different from hers. “Success” to me (and one of my favorite preachers) – is completion and fulfillment (of the original intent) of the purpose for your existence (why you were created). In other words, success is not about making a lot of money, it's not about having a big house with a nice car by the lake. Success is not having a lot of friends, nor accolades or even plaques on the wall. Success is very very simple, discovering your purpose and then completing it before you die. In other words, success must be measured by why you were created. Success is therefore, “PURPOSE FULFILLED”. — Soooo, will Aislah be the Ms. Universe in her generation Daddy said “not a chance!”.✌ One thing I know, of all the wonderful things she is meant to be, a Filipino Aislah will always be.✨✨ #ProudlyFilipino #PinoyPride #AislahRose (SHOUTOUT to @bababum.ph for Aislah’s book #TalesOfTomTomManila, thank you!!❤️❤️) — And to the mama patrols, don’t worry, we aren’t playing with the Sungka yet.
