THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Soft Look for our Home

02.02.2013 by Leah //

Now that February is in (my birthday month, yey!), I thought of using these throw pillow cases and curtains that we bought months ago from SM and the Landmark: That's the curtain at the left, throw pillow cases in the middle and at the right. Would you believe that the throw pillows cost only P50.00 a piece?  An incredible price for such luxurious fabric!  I really love the ... READ MORE

Celebrating Christmas 2012 & New Year 2013

01.07.2013 by Leah //

We celebrated Christmas and welcomed New Year at our home.  Compared with last year,  this year's celebration was more upbeat - with AJ and I entertaining friends over at our apartment and then there's my little nephew, Liam, who also spent the holidays here in the Metro (much to the delight of my parents!). To prepare for Liam's coming, my dad re-decorated my old room and ... READ MORE

Decluttering our home before the New Year

12.29.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I took the day off yesterday to declutter our little apartment in time for the New Year.   The first time we did this was last year (our first year as a married couple) and have found it to be both therapeutic and fun!   So we vowed to do this every year on the week after Christmas, just before the New Year sets in. Now that doesn't mean I've been an OC my whole ... 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 ...
