Limelight’s 2025 Planners – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
With 2025 around the corner, I’ve recently been on the hunt for a planner for the New Year. And I think I found my next fave with Limelight’s 2025 planners. Not only are the planners based on the MBTI personality types, but they also offer more than just to-do lists, such as daily reflections, goal setting, and prompts for mindfulness. A planner based on my personality? Yes, please.
Lumix TX90 – Bianca Lao, Brand Associate
I recently purchased the LUMIX TZ90 and found it to be a great digicam. It has a zoom of 60x, making it perfect for concerts. So, if you’re looking for a camera that you can use to capture good memories (in great quality), as well as one that you can use in concert to take videos and pictures – then find this camera. You won’t regret it.

JisuLife Handheld Fan – Precy Tan, Copywriter
I’ll be honest—I didn’t get the hype around the JisuLife Handheld Fan at first. It seemed like just another portable fan. But then I borrowed one from a workmate, and wow, now I completely understand. It’s compact yet surprisingly powerful, making it perfect for this moody weather. Whether it’s a scorching afternoon or a humid evening, this fan is now my go-to. I honestly can’t imagine stepping out without it!
Beaded Phone Straps – Bernice Ignacio, Multimedia Art Intern
I’ve been really into customized ~anik-anik~ lately and beaded phone straps are definitely one of them! I didn’t realize sooner how convenient it is to have one—especially when I can’t find my phone in my bag or when I need to secure my phone for when I film something.
