Post-Christmas Sale at Pottery Barn

01.04.2015 by Leah //

It's officially the last day of my 2-weeks holiday vacation, and the start of the post-holiday (or end-of-season) sale in most stores here in Manila.  Ba't ba kung kelan ubos na ang year-end bonus eh doon nagse-sale?? Thankfully, I just did some serious de-cluttering at home and found a lot of items that I no longer need or didn't want to use anymore.  This taught me ... READ MORE

DIY Gift Tags from Shopping Bags

12.28.2014 by Leah //

In case you didn't know, I have a penchant for keeping ribbons, shopping bags, paper bags and pretty gift wrapping papers so you can just imagine the stash I collected last Christmas.  I hate putting into waste reusable papers so I try to 'save' all that I can whenever I open gifts. (You can read about my past projects on re-used shopping and paper bags HERE and ... READ MORE

Christmas at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

12.26.2014 by Leah //

The hubby and I spent Christmas Eve at the newly-opened Hyatt City of Dreams Manila.  It's our first time to celebrate it away from home, but were at the same time excited and giddy over the new place that we are about to explore!  We adjusted our Christmas schedules for the 24th and the 25th to be able to make the most out of our stay at the new Hyatt.  After all, hindi mura ...

12.23.2014 by Leah //

Like in the past years, I shopped for Christmas gifts as early as September, and wrapped everything by November (well, almost!) so that when December kicked in, I only have to busy myself filling our weekend calendars with get-togethers, while experimenting in the kitchen for new dishes to serve during our family’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. So when Alaska invited ... READ MORE

Roast Chicken with Italian Sausage and Bread Stuffing

12.22.2014 by Leah //

Our sumptuous lunch today:  Roast Chicken with Italian Sausage and Bread Stuffing. The idea for this recipe came to me last Thanksgiving after seeing pictures and pictures of Stuffed Turkey in my Instagram feed.  So I looked it up online and saw this easy-to-do recipe for turkey stuffing at epicurious.com.  I waited for my Christmas leave at work to try the recipe (para ...

Our First Christmas Tree

12.20.2014 by Leah //

How nice is it that the first Christmas Tree AJ and I will have at our apartment is actually the very Christmas Tree that I wanted to have.  I already saw this exact wooden Christmas tree complete with wooden ornaments some years ago but I didn't buy it then 'cos feeling ko may magreregalo nito sa akin hehe!  Then another Christmas came and I still didn't buy it kasi ramdam ko ...
