As we all plan out our menu for the last big celebration of the year, you might want to know the benefits of good fats and smart grocery shopping. The New Year’s eve, just like the last week’s celebration the Christmas Noche Buena, comes with a full stream of delectable dishes which may not be as healthy for our bodies. That is why it is important...
The only way for me to make my hair look presentable on Christmas and New Year is to have it colored and rebonded. I have a friend who owns a salon and offers home service but this year, I decided to try a more affordable alternative. So I got myself a MetroDeal voucher offered by Sir George Salon for a hair rebond which costed P999 instead of P4000 (credits to Sir George salon for the photo in Facebook and in this blog). I’ve tried using vouchers from MetroDeal before so I thought why not do it again. I had to get my needed hair...
Aside from buttered corn or sauteed corn with mushrooms, do you know other corn dishes perfect to serve as snack? Here’s a cheesy dish with Jolly Corn Kernels as the star. It’s an easy baked dish where you just need to layer the ingredients then bake. My family loves this dish because aside from whole corn kernels, it contains cheese and bacon bits. Ingredients: 2 cans Jolly Whole Kernel corn 1/2 cup flour 1-2 cups cheddar cheese 1 tsp sugar cooked bacon bits 2 eggs beaten 1 cup milk salt and pepper to taste Drain the Jolly...
Ever since we got married, my husband and I opt to surround ourselves with at least several potted plants where we live. We just need to have plants to surround us and luckily, my husband has a green thumb and he is diligent enough to take care of our plants. We’ve always believed that plants give us something more than oxygen. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul. — Alfred Austin Just recently, I was invited to the top-off ceremony of the third building of Larossa. Larossa is the premiere project of Primehomes,...
My family have always loved taking photos, of ourselves, our extended family members, friends, and of course for our blogs. But rarely that we get our photos taken by a professional. I remember our first family photo shoot was a budgeted one, when my girls were only toddlers. It was taken in a photo studio inside a mall. I had the photo framed and though it was obvious that the studio was a so-so, I still treasure this one because of the memories it brings. Family Portrait by Matt Lee Shoots This year, it was a great opportunity for us...
Imagine, we only have a few weeks left and it will be Christmas Day. It’s that time of the year again when our skills and patience, not only in cooking, are tested, but also in keeping our kitchen organized and clutter-free. With a little bit of planning and a few kitchen tools and essentials, we can pull it through. I’ve done it for many years, lived without help since my daughters were born, prepared several dishes in time for Noche Buena, and still manage to have enough time to glam up and enjoy the night. How? Keep A List Allot...
Our family’s health is of the utmost importance for us moms but sometimes, because of lack of knowledge, we only make actions to treat diseases when we are already seeing the symptoms. When it comes to asthma, we should it take more seriously because the health damages can alter someone’s life forever. Good thing though because of scientific advancements, asthma can be managed well by most parents given that they have the right tool that is always available when needed. I was recently gifted with an Omron Compressor Nebulizer...
