Mother's Day Gift Ideas by SACHIKA TWINS

Mother's day is approaching and we all know, being busy can block our creativity when it comes to choosing the right gift for MOM. She should always and especially on Mother's Day, feel nothing less than the QUEEN of your world.

Here are some gift ideas that we think all mom would appreciate although mot moms are happy with a simple phone call, a card, flowers or a visit. In addition to those, add one the following:



1) Spa Day Gift Card


Moms are always busy taking care of everyone around them, and although they would appreciate a spa day, unless forced upon them, sometimes it is the best way to get them to get pampered. Spoil your mama!





2) A dinner date with Momma


 Get Mom to dress up and take her to her favorite restaurant or types of food. She'll love your company, the food and how special this makes her feel.





3. The fleece SleepPhones headband



Sometimes mom needs a little de-stressing and unwinding before falling asleep. There's no better way to do that than with music. The fleece SleepPhones headband has a built-in wireless speaker so there's no danger of keeping your partner awake. It connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Music sure soothes the soul. $99.95



4. Morocccanoil Hydration Essentials



We have been using these oils on our hair for years and just love how it leaves our hair so smooth and silky. All moms would enjoy these essential oils! www.Moroccanoil.com $72.60



5. Keurig K10 Mini Single Serve Brewer 



Your mom can now prepare a fresh, delicious beverage with this Keurig K10 Mini 20211 brewer, which features 6-oz., 8-oz. and 10-oz. brew-size options to suit her needs and shuts off automatically for safe use. The compact design offers flexible placement options. We love this ORCHID color too! 
www.bestbuy.com , $99.99



Hope these suggestions will make 
your MOM feel like the QUEEN she is!!!

It's The Year of the Rabbit!

February 3rd 2011 marks the Chinese & Vietnamese New Year which will be dedicated to year of the Rabbit. Those who are rabbits are said to be lucky, talented and articulate. Contrary to popular belief, Chinese New Year is not only celebrated by the Chinese, but also by countries with significant Chinese population and influence including Indonesia, Macau, Phillippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan. Not to mention  our very own nation, Vietnam!  The fifteen day celebration is one of the most important holidays and is celebrated with symbolic foods, family, festive decoration, and gift giving to bring good luck for the New Year and to welcome Spring.

Over the fifteen day celebration families visit their elder family members, have large family meals, shoot fire crackers, make wishes and offer prayers to bring wealth and success. The last day of the celebration calls for major festivities which is celebrated as Chap Go Meh or  the Lantern Festival. Families walk through the street carrying lanterns. Families light candles on their doorway as a signal to help guide  lost spirits home. 

Lantern Festival in Chinatown





This last day is also seen as the Chinese version of Valentine's day. Normally, single women would write their contact number on mandarin oranges and throw it in a river or a lake while single men would collect them and eat the oranges. The taste is an indication of their possible love: sweet represents a good fate while sour represents a bad fate. Hey, maybe we should try it one day and see if it works!




Happy Chinese &Vietnamese New Year 
to all of our SACHIKA fans !

To-Tam: In 5 years, I see the SACHIKA brand everywhere, literally LOL. I would have accomplished a lot more. I'll have many properties, a dog, many cars including a Porsche Cayenne Turbo 911 lol...

11) Hi there Sachika twins! Love your have fun attitudes and your work - was introduced to your collection by Queen Buzz. I'd like to ask what kinds of jewelry you like to wear the most! Also, if you're interested I can send you some pieces courtesy of jewelry dose daily! Just email mdoan@melissadoan.com if you're interested - i look forward to hearing what your fave jewel styles are!!! <3 Melissa www.jewelrydosedaily.com www.thehighmaintenancebohemian.blogspot.com

Thank you Melissa! Very nice website and blog you have! As fashion designers, our taste for jewelry is very broad. However, we have a preference for precious metals and statement pieces.- pieces that speak to people and are bold and fierce. Most of the time, less is more.

12) Hi Ladies I really admire your hard work and determination. Congrats on all your success. It must hard to date being so successful and twins. Can you describe your dream man? Thank you. Lucas

To-Nya: Thank you Lucas. We believe that hard work does pay off. It's a little more interesting being twins and dating but we both consider ourselves unique and very different from one another so  I guess it is as easy or as difficult as it is for a non-twin person. My dream man: He is a real gentleman, intelligent, very athletic, ambitious, caring, loyal, fun, adventurous and optimistic.
To-Tam: Thank you Lucas for those kind words. My dream man? huuumm  He can cook, give great massages and carry me in the streets when my feet hurt!!! lol...j/k!!!...I'd love someone who will be like my partner in crime, with great chemistry, mutual understanding, who is respectful, faithful, a gentleman, caring, affectionate, intelligent, witty, funny, fun, adventurous, positive, athletic and ambitious.. LOL

13) What do you wish for the most right now? 
 
To-Nya: Right now, I really wish to have this contract signed. It involves a lot and requires a lot of reviewing and care so we do have to take our time.
To-Tam: I can't wait to close this deal!!! 



14) Chocolate or Vanilla?

To-Nya: What about both? It depends of my mood. But I do like everything Vanilla! :)
To-Tam: I used to prefer vanilla but I think now I'm leaning more towards chocolate :p


15) Would you rather date an NBA Player or a Singer Sensation? LOL

To-Nya: I would rather date the one whose personality is more compatible to mine...the one who is closer to my ideal ;)
To-Tam: What about a guy that can sing & play ball? lol...Just kidding...I'd rather date the one who is a better match for me and who makes me feel good. =)


16) Short guy big dick or Tall guy small dick?

To-Nya: This is non-sense!
To-Tam: Are you serious??? What about everything else?..


17) How do you balance your work with your social life and still make time for yourselves?

To-Nya: When you lead the type of life where you are doing your passion everyday, you quickly realize how you are continuously gratifying your person and making room for YOU! It is such a great feeling to be living ( breathing fully every minute) and to be working everyday towards bigger dreams. The lines between hobbies, social life and work just become blurry. Whenever I am out, I am networking while enjoying myself...and when focused on work, I surround myself with a friendly and warm environment. Everything is within your power, your reach and your mind! Just believe!:)
To-Tam: Everything we do is work & fun because our work is our passion! We love what we do and we live our life with passion so work is not work it's like a playground lol!! SACHIKA is a lifestyle! We believe in enjoying every step of the way and we are definitely living our life to the fullest! Everywhere we go, even when it's work related we get to meet so many interesting & amazing people. Work & social life is now all in one.


18) Which are you top 3 clothing brands and why?

To-Nya: SACHIKA, SACHIKA and SACHIKA! LOL...but seriously, I haven't worn anything else other than SACHIKA since its launch ( Jan. 2009). I'd have to research more before I speak! :) I like feminine, sophisticated and simple clothes.
To-Tam: I do like BCBG, ZARA & MARCIANO. (simple, functional, feminine)

Thanksgiving This Year for SACHIKA-THROWBACK

SACHIKA TWINS- Working as Twin Models when we first moved to New York.

"For this Thanksgiving, let's NOT forget where we started...Everyone starts somewhere and everyone deserves A SHOT! Keep your eyes on the prize and never lose focus! "

Thanksgiving Day, informally known as Turkey Day is a holiday to express thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation to God, family and friends for which all have been blessed of material possessions and relationships. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Frankly Thanksgiving should be everyday but let's grab this opportunity to highlight the ones we appreciate :)



Thanksgiving 2010


This year 2010, marks our fourth year since our move to the big apple , NYC from Montreal, Canada.

Looking back, we've come quite a loooong way! Our constant fight was to figure a way to be able to do what we love and are passionate about every day. It was hard when we first moved here, we had to work very hard to adjust to the cost of living in New York compared to Montreal, where we grew up. Through modeling, waitressing, cocktailing, bartending, real estate, we've been through tribulations that brought us closer to achieving our dreams. No matter what we did, we always worked with integrity knowing that "hard work pays off"..and we never ceased to believe...

Throwback!!! SACHIKA TWINS were cocktail waitresses at G-Lounge...



Throwback!!! SACHIKA TWINS were cocktail waitresses at KUSH Lounge...

Working in the hustle and bustle of NYC, it is very easy to get distracted from sanity, 
personal growth, well-being and mental rejuvenation. For this year's Thanksgiving, your
SACHIKA TWINS are taking a day to remind ourselves of the true values in life 
such as family, true friends, love, health and the simple good stuff in life that are so very often 
overlooked and taken for granted in The Big City. 

Let's face it, no one can make it by 
him/herself in this world...we all need each other and one another and the day we believe
and invest in strong relationships, we become strongly armed!

Thank You to our family back in Montreal for always supporting us. You guys never left our hearts despite the distance.

Thank You to our true friends who remained by our side through the years. You guys are GOLD!

Thank You to all our loyal fans, customers and dedicated followers...we promise to always deliver.

Thank You TEAM SACHIKA! We love you guys so much! Thank you for being part of the team! <3

Thank You for the good health. Without health, we wouldn't be able to live our dreams!!!


SACHIKA TWINS are living the American Dream!


THANK YOU NEW YORK !!!  WE LOVE YOU!



Here is our gift to all of you for this Thanksgiving 2010:


" Whatever The Mind Can Conceive, It Can Achieve!" Don't ever give up on your dreams....keep pushing, always do your best as the best will result from it, be thankful for what you have, remain humble and LOVE LIFE as it will only LOVE you back!"

-SACHIKA TWINS



Have a Wonderful and Safe Thanksgiving Everyone! :)

Quick DC trip getaway...love nature


















Ahhhhhhh its sooooo good to get away from New York sometimes...to see some greens, to hear some quietness and to breathe some fresh hair!!!

DC was the perfect destination for a quick getaway!!!
On the bus and a few hours later, we were in DC :)

Our brother Lance brought us to Virginia...Always good to see our friends/family, we ate some amazing authentic Vietnamese food in Virginia and went biking/kayaking in DC to see some of the most spectacular architecture! What a relaxing getaway, love it when the win blows on my face as I bike...it feels GOOD...
Here are some photos of our journey...
