Party Bags for Christmas Goodies [Update]

12.08.2012 by Leah //

Remember the Wilton-brand Christmas-themed party bags I bought last September? I used them to wrap the Christmas goodies I am giving my office colleagues this year.   Look how cute they turned out, even if they're not filled with edible treats! I decided to give useful (instead of edible) gifts to my office colleagues this year and so I got them these: I used ... READ MORE

It’s that time of the year again!

12.01.2012 by Leah //

December is here and it's finally beginning to feel like Christmas!   My Instagram is now teeming with photos of our preparations and anything Christmas-y, and here are some of them: The happiest season of the year is indeed here   =) ... READ MORE

My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tea Party

11.30.2012 by Leah //

I had always wanted to host a tea party at home, and was all the more inspired after AJ treated me to an afternoon tea at Manila Peninsula last August.   But I was so busy at work and was doing all those traveling I just couldn't put my mind and time into it. But I found my perfect opportunity when my friend (and kumare) Denise sent me a message one day asking when are we ... READ MORE

Dalmatian Dog Bone Invitations for Liam’s 2nd Birthday

09.29.2012 by Leah //

When my nephew Liam turned 1 in October last year, his parents threw a cowboy-theme party for him and his guests and I made the simple, Western-style invitations for them. This year Liam will turn 2 and he will celebrate it in school with the Dalmatian dogs as theme.   You see, Liam loves animals, and is most fond with "Aw-Aw" - a dalmatian dog stuff toy given to him by his ...

How to Clean your Saladmaster Cookware

08.04.2012 by Leah //

One question that I asked our Saladmaster consultants before deciding to get my Saladmaster cookware was how to clean these titanium steel babies.  If the method is going to be different from that of ordinary cookware, I might have some misgivings.  Ate Jane assured me that it's not gonna be an inch different from the way we clean our cookware and somehow that sealed the ...

The Multi-Tasking Lemon

07.19.2012 by Leah //

Can you guess what these are? Lemon peels! I'm having them dried under the sun when I took this picture last weekend.  I learned from Real Living's pocket magazine, Handy Hints and Instant Makeovers, that placing dried lemon peels in kitchen corners will keep insects away.   They also ward off silverfish (those little silver creatures you find your closets) and are a ...

Beautiful Lomo Pictures

06.29.2012 by Leah //

I am really loving lomography pictures and I'm so glad I can turn my ordinary photos into lomo-ish ones, thanks to Google's Picasa.   I love the combination of strong hues, fish eye and blurry effects  - they turn fresh pictures into vintage-y old ones.  Here are some that I took and then turned into classic lomo pictures: All pictures were taken from our apartment, except the ...

Stanhome Try It

06.28.2012 by Leah //

What a funny name for an all-purpose cleaner! Don't be deceived though, by its uncreative name, because this super concentrated cleaner from Stanhome World is really effective. Just see how I was able to turn this dirty monobloc chair ... ... into a clean one in minutes, without the use of soap and water! I have actually just cleaned the top portion when ... READ MORE
