I spotted these dainty flower pots and tin pails in princess-y colors of pink, purple, apple green, rose red and white. Prices start at P50.00 (okay, make that ... READ MORE
The Good Stuff #2
It really delights me to know that most of you here share my love for food, washi tapes, DIY projects, travels and even jewelry! That's why I wrote "The Good Stuff" last February. It's meant to be a regular feature here in The Bright Spot, wherein you'll see my random food and shopping discoveries. Or rather, those that I forgot to make detailed kwento about. So here ...

Upcycled Christmas Paper Bags
Since our city adopted a ban on the use of plastics in establishments like groceries, stores restaurants, I have been collecting the paper bags that are used as packaging for the stuff we buy. And since it'll be only 8 weeks before the "-ber" months set in, I thought of "up-cyling" them into Christmas paper bags! I used the typeletter stamps I bought at 168 Mall in ... READ MORE
Getting back into the groove
How's your weekend? Mine was full of catching up - with housework, that is hehe! I did a major housecleaning yesterday and it felt really good - moving around like I'm having a workout =) Which reminds me, I am starting to gain weight already (what with the many food try-out invitations I've been getting!) so I have to seriously start exercising again to burn those ...

I happily found these at the Office Warehouse bookstore at the Landmark last weekend: Wood-mounted rubber stamps with floral and vase designs!

This set is also available in another style - animals - but I don't think ... READ MORE
DIY Pad Thai
We love Pad Thai! Those who have been reading my blog for a time would know that because I've featured this dish a number of times already - but never as something I've made myself hehe! I was finally able to make one last weekend, thanks to this ready-made Pad Thai paste (Kanokwan brand) and rice noodles that I found at the Landmark Supermarket. I just followed the ... READ MORE
Soft Look for our Home
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
