Food galore, figure-friendly meals, unique Pinoy crafts and fashion finds at Ayala Malls' amaZING app
MANILA, Philippines — I love shopping at Ayala Malls; it's my go-to mall. If malling or marathon shopping is a form of exercise, you can say I'm a pretty fit person. I like hopping from store to store to check out the items, especially those on clearance/sale and the newly arrived merchandise.
Lately, however, I discovered the sheer joy of shopping (and dining) from the comforts of home with Ayala Malls' simply amaZING app. Now, I just let my fingers do the walking when I shop online via ZingShops and ZingEats, the all-in-one access to Ayala Malls' well-curated shopping and dining establishments.
Navigating Zing is like walking through central mall spaces in search of a window that piques your interest. Once you decide to enter a specific boutique – via ZingShops, by clicking an icon that leads to their official sites – your store experience and service become unique to that one particular brand.
Same goes for restaurants. While restaurants in physical malls each have their own menus and distinct manner of service, it's the same for restaurants you can access through Zing. From the ZingEats directory, you are led to their official online ordering systems, where they serve, customize and deliver your favorite food in the way they know best.
Browse, click, shop!
I simply scroll through Ayala Malls' offerings from the participating labels and merchants which can be categorized as follows: fashion, sports, beauty and health, jewelry and watches, furniture and home essentials, gadgets and appliances. Easy-peasy! Just browse, click and you're directed to the various brands' online stores, no fuss, no muss!
Among the participating merchants is Pinoy Artisano that boasts customized crafts such as tokens, plaques and trophies.
Supporting social causes, Pinoy Artisano (Filipino artisans) also carries distinctive brands featuring stylish local and international collections.
Let's turn to Eco Shift that's got a wide range of plastic-free personal care items, like shampoos, conditioners, lotion bars, etc. Yes, say no to (single-use) plastic!

It's good to be well
All's well at Well+Good, a lifestyle site that's dedicated to everything related to wellness, with healthy recipes and tips for healthy living.
If you're looking for your honey, Manuka Health (from New Zealand) could be your one and only! It's a healing honey that's full of antioxidants, is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.
If you're searching for a hero (of healthy drinks), there's Bayani Brew with its organically grown fresh tea sourced from the Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm in Angat, Bulacan. Feel like a hero because you're also helping farmers earn sustainable income while sipping that tea-licious lemongrass or moringa dalandan brew.
