Holistic lifestyles, smart homes, kitchen designs and resort residences at MLTV
On the 10th episode of the Season 8 of Modern Living TV, hosts Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi and Bianca Gonzalez-Intal brighten the week with life stories you love — from the holistic lifestyle of an actress, model and style icon to smart home solutions, chic kitchen designs and a resort-inspired abode that now livens up the city of smiles.
HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE OF A MODERN WOMAN
A creative visionary with more than 15 years of experience, Teresa Herrera Anthony has created a solid foothold in the fashion and entertainment industry as a TV host, actress, model and certified style icon. Today, her story has become an inspiration for those wanting to adopt a holistic lifestyle. Long used to the fast lifestyle, Teresa’s life changed when she became a mother.
Teresa begins, “I was one of those women — I have to admit to a fault that a lot of my identity was tied to how productive I was, like how much work I can get done by a certain amount of time — and in motherhood there is no such thing. It’s life and it’s about balancing, but it’s just being able to do what you can for that day and not to be so hard on yourself,” she admits.
Motherhood has taught Teresa to be conscious about her and her family’s health. To relieve herself from the stresses of life, she found a way to find a place of calm. “A few years ago, I found meditation as one of the most important tools for me to be aware and bring myself back,” she recalls. At the end of the day, for Teresa, it’s all about making the right choices for your body and your soul. SMART HOME SOLUTIONS
Steph and Brian take a tour at the new concept store, Modularity Home to find out which unique pieces, when combined, can make for a truly practical and smart home. For example, a singular device can control the home’s lighting, thermostat, home theater and can even become maintenance-free. “Modularity Home actually began after the study and research of three brands Elica, a special range brand: Valcoccine, a high-end kitchen brand; and Sonos, a very
good wireless speaker,” shares Brian. These brands, and other equipment and appliances at Modularity Home were developed with careful engineering and craftsmanship. Also present are high-tech products that can provide in-house entertainment to give life to the home. CHIC KITCHEN DESIGNS
The kitchen is the heart of the home and for most people especially those who cook it can be the busiest place in the house. At Eggersmann La Cornue, Modern Living TV design expert Jie Pambid shows the latest in kitchen essentials and kitchen design. Manager Archie Nacpil, an interior designer by profession, emphasizes the importance of establishing an efficient work triangle—the cooking, working and storage area. Next, he talks about each of the elements that must be considered for every area. In conclusion, they emphasized the importance of determining the cooking area, washing area and the potential of very good storage.
