Great time to make a splash

CEBU, Philippines - As the weather begins to heat up, there's one thought prevalent in most people's minds - it's a great time to make a splash. It's also time for finding that perfect beachwear that complements one's style and personality. And just in time, Anemone presents its newest collection of swimwear that's sure to liven up the beach getup.

Anemone's new swimwear collection celebrates the vibrant colors, rich textures, and bold patterns that remind of the sunlight and shadows of the bright days. The collection includes classic and fun silhouettes mixed with modern prints, nature-inspired prints, black-and-white prints with pops of colors reminiscent of sunsets, and tropical paradise prints with splashes of coral, seafoam, and neon colors.

The fabric is carefully designed and engineered to give utmost comfort and protection. It features the highest rating ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) 50++ to provide maximum sun protection against potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. UPF indicates how effectively a type of fabric shields skin from UV rays.  Anemone also carries a special swimwear line called Anemone Control which features an innovative 'control lining' that provides support where needed for an extra boost of confidence. 

Designed and crafted in the Philippines for women who love to swim and bask in the sun all day long, Anemone has expanded its market to include kids, and just recently, girls aged 13 to 24 who love the same fun, beach-loving aesthetic of the brand. This has given birth to a new line of swimwear called Anemone Junior, which is specifically designed for tweens, teens, and young ladies, with styles ranging from US size 00 to 8 (3XS to L).

The brand has also grown to provide fashion and lifestyle solutions by adding resort wear and beach accessories to its product line.

Anemone is available in all Nothing But H2O stores in the Philippines, and online via @anemoneswimwear on Instagram and www.nothingbuth2o.com. In Cebu, Nothing But H2O is located at the 2nd Floor of Ayala Center Cebu.

A Dose of Table Manners

.  Wash your hands before coming to the table.

.  Come to the table properly attired.

.  Keep all four legs of your chair on the floor.

. Do not reach across to dining companions for the salt and pepper shakers; ask instead that they pass it to you.

. Do not take the last helping without first offering it to someone else.

. Do not eat before the others begin, before your host is seated, or before the blessing.

. Ask to be excused from the table to go to the rest room or when you have finished eating.

. Do not ask what's for dessert while everyone is still eating the salad.

. When dining out in a restaurant, do not get up from the table and wander about, nor create bizarre and potentially explosive concoctions from the condiments on the table.

. Treat the server cordially and with respect, saying "Thank you," when your meal is delivered.
