WE'RE GOING BACK TO CALIFORNIA!!
2 years ago, we we're invited by my talented designer friend Noble Creations Online to attend his fashion show. It was an amazing experience. I had so much fun with the community. We felt welcomed even if we just came from a small town in Tennessee.
Now we're coming back to attend Manila International Film Fest and we're so excited to meet our followers there!
So if you live near Artesia CA, COME AND SEE US on March 8th (details in the photo)! 🥰

Introducing…

The Mabuhay Collective!

The Mabuhay Collective is a collection of Filipinx creators that are moving the needle to create space for us to be creators in our own right through representation of our culture.

We are a group of Filipinas of mixed ancestry, backgrounds, experiences & ambitions.

Danielle Thomson, owner of created the .sampaguita.skin for this box along with her Sampaguita lip balm.

Sampaguita, which is Tagalog for Jasmine, is the national flower of the Philippines. Not only is it incredibly fragrant & soothing, it’s healing.

Cat Byrne, owner of makes deliciously decadent Vegan & Gluten-Free desserts that is a wonderful balance of our American & Filipino childhood desserts & snacks.

Cat has made deliciously addictive Ube Pretzels. I will guarantee that you love them & if you don’t, your tastebuds are broken.

Camille Wall, owner of & is a branding expert & she knows how to optimize SEOs for your website to drive traffic to your business.

Camille has designed a flawlessly beautiful glass cup & straw with the icon Filipino Sun, sure to get you tons of compliments on your drinks!

I, Phylis Masaya, will include one of my sweatshirt designs. I will have my iconic, “Lumpia is Life” hoodie available, along with some other designs for this collaborative box.

We also have the Filipino Sun enamel pin by Sari Sari Tindahan Cali, & these stunning earring/ear cuffs by ! Hit them up if you need a Filipino inspired graduation stole.

Filipino Star ships nation wide, so you can have them in time for your graduation in May or June!

We are so excited to bring you this collection. We have poured our blood, sweat & tears into creating just the right items to show you how talented & amazing these Filipinx creators are.

We hope that you support us by buying one of our limited edition boxes & very limited quantities available for the Month of May for AAPI month.

We’d love to know what you think of this collection.

IT IS MAY & OFFICIALLY AAPI MONTH!

I love May b/c it’s Spring & the summer is just around the corner.

There is excitement & anticipation in the air with upcoming graduations, weddings, baby showers, amazing events, pop-up markets, festivals & concerts. It’s also when so many people plan summer trips & vacations.

I LOVE THIS MONTH & THIS TIME OF YEAR!

What I love even more is now we get to celebrate a HUGE community… Asian American & Pacific Islander communities.

I feel, due to so many social changes, we have more awareness around these communities, which is great, but we need to continuously celebrate to get people who are not on board to understand the plight of these communities previously.

As an GEN-Xer, at almost 45 & getting into perimenopause, I did not see representation of myself in media, films, books and TV and now that I’m getting older, I’m loving the fact that I get to see people of similar cultures, faces and things that represent my people not just Filipinos, not just women, but women of color that happened to be part of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities.

I don’t know if the work towards more representation will ever end, but I love the direction that we’re going in and I want to keep going with this whole theme of being prideful of your origins regardless of where you are in America. We are all Americans but we have different roots and we want to celebrate where we came from and I no longer have to be embarrassed about my food or how it smells now Filipino food is trending, so much that anybody who reposts, shares or creates content around Filipino food and culture actually starts to go viral and gets a lot of views.

I don’t want Filipino and Asian culture to just be a trend. I want it to be something that people are aware of and it’s here to stay.

As a Filipino American and as an Asian American woman, I still have a lot to learn about all the other cultures and the foods that encompass AAPI month, so I post this not just in celebration of the culture I’m born into, but other cultures that I also want to be aware of and hold space for and give voice to.

That being said, I have exciting things happening for the month of May!
