Top 5 Brands At The Blogapalooza That Will Stretch Your Peso

Our Top 5 Picks!

The Blogapalooza, held at the One Esplanade a week ago was an event where businesses get to connect with bloggers and vice versa. It's also an opportunity to meet up with fellow writers in the industry and establish relationships which we didn't exactly do last Sunday haha. We left pretty early and most of the bloggers I knew online arrived after we were gone, some even by the time we were already home. Oh well, there's always next year and other blog events at that. For now, let's talk about the businesses that joined in!

Stretch Your Peso is all about a lifestyle of value hunting and not all of the booths at the event fit our blog's niche, so to speak. We've been known for our health advocacy as well, so other than the lechon and homemade leche flan that Dave and I tasted, the other food products just didn't cut it. There was one booth that I definitely kept my distance from, since I'm allergic to perfumes, I didn't want my sinuses acting up haha.

We quickly weaved through One Esplanade to check out all of the booths but only talked to the representatives of the products/services that we knew would interest us and our valued readers. Here's our top 5 list of brands at the Blogapalooza, which in our honest opinion will absolutely stretch your peso:
