Day dreamer and Believer

Life Update? Uhm! I'm a business woman already!!! I've been very busy the past few weeks because of the online pastry business that I have opened 3 weeks ago. It was such a big break for me because I am able to fully enjoy what I am doing and it led me to meet new friends and find new inspiration to continue and dream bigger for this small local business. Anyway, speaking of being busy, my routine completely changed since the day I started baking. I wake up at 6am to prepare for everything and finishes all the orders by 12 noon. 1 in the afternoon is my schedule for deliver and I come back home at around 3-4. The time when I got back home is the only me time that I can give for myself (can't still imagine I'm working already!!!) and that one thing I can't erase from my routine is working out. I'm guilty of a ruined workout schedule (I cut it to 2-3x a week from doing it everyday during the previous months) and also guilty of a ruined diet because I eat cookies a lot!

There are times when I feel like I’m bloated before working out and I've searched through the internet what I can use during workouts and trainings to help me direct my body shape. I'm happy I found waist cincher for women! It's a plus plus that it's not only used for workouts but are also designed elegantly so that it can be combined with different kinds of tshirts and dresses of your own preference.

Two workouts that I'm fond of doing are ab and butt workouts, thus, more planking and squats!! I've seen myself getting faster results in doing planks but finding it hard to work on my butt. I personally want to have a well rounded butt because you all know how good every clothes can look if you have it. I came across this article "How to Lift buttocks with tape" and would want to try the suggestions and everything in between in this article. You should def check it out too!

Lastly, I also discovered the use of shaper panty! When I saw it online I didn't knew I had used it before! I used it sereval times in my previous pageants and special events to help me accentuate my curves especially in fitted dresses. I just feel confident and more composed whenever I see myself well made up and standing pretty in all angles.

Hope you're all doing good and safe in your home! Let me keep you updated with a new post again this week!

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share with you a new hobby that I’ve failed twice (and thought would never do again!!) but decided to try it again and not give up on it. I’m talking about baking!! I’ve tried baking twice, 2 years ago, but I suck at it and told myself that I would never do it again. Fast forward to 2020 when this pandemic hit us, everyone started being creative and started making money out of their passion. I swear, seeing choco brownies, dream cakes, donuts, oreo cheesecakes (you name it!!) being sold by my friends all over my feed makes me drool and crave for it every single time. I came to a point wherein I bought once a week something that I’m badly craving and realized that it’s very unhealthy for my savings. I realized that, why not learn how to do it in on my own? It’s actually hard to start without any equipment. I don’t have measuring cups nor whisker nor even an oven to use! Good thing is that I have an auntie who owns twice of these equipment and lend me her old ones. (If you’re interested in baking and would want to try it but doesn’t have anything to use, try asking for your relatives who has some spare). I started buying the basic ingredients and tried first the easiest recipes.

First recipe was choco brownies. It’s supposedly a no bake brownies since I’m afraid of using an oven but it was already beyond it’s cooking time and it haven’t set yet. I decided to put it in the oven and set it for 5 minutes. My first attempt after 2 years turned successful because it tasted really good (even if my no bake brownies failed hahaha) Yaaaay!!! Here’s the recipe that I followed for my choco brownies.

On some days I visit at my Ninang’s to annoy her to bake with me. Hahahaha!!! I message her beforehand that I'll be coming with my ingredients with me. Even if she's always busy she always makes time for me. I always want to bake with her so that I can try different recipes because she’s my idol and she’s a pro! We planned to bake a S’mores cake but things didn’t turned out as planned and decided to make the most out of the ingredients that we had at the moment. We ended up baking banana cupcakes instead. Ang layooo sa s’mores nooo! Hahaha! But it smelled really good and tasted delicious! Here’s the recipe that we followed for our banana cupcakes.

Lastly, I decided to make oreo brownies and nutty choco brownies. I purposely made it as pasalubong for my fam and my bf’s fam. It was the easiest no-fail that I can do para masarap naman ang pasalubong ko! Ahahahaha! As you can see I also enjoyed taking food flat lays lately and it’s also one of the reasons why I decided to start baking again. Got it from my Ninang!!

I hope you enjoyed this post and it somewhat inspired you to start something out of your comfort zone. There’s no harm in trying! Ask for help from the experts or learn from youtube tutorials if you really can’t get it. Baking will excite youuu!! I ordered some baking tools already and hopefully soon I’ll have my own oven! Any suggestions on what should I bake next?? Feel free to comment down below! :)

Hey guys! It's already half of the year and almost everyone of us is experiencing summer already! (Well, it's always summer everyday here in the Philippines because we experience a tropical weather.) I have started going out again (after months!!) to run errands and groceries and I couldn't be happier to see the world outside the four corners of our house. In this time of pandemic, one thing that I really miss when going out is dressing up! I was surprised to see people in casual summer outfits roaming around as well those in summer dresses! I couldn't be more excited to dress up in my cute summer clothes too while hustling in the grocery. Haha!

My go to summer look would always be in bohemian dresses because it perfectly screams out my personality. I love boho prints so much that almost all the dresses in my closet are in boho and floral prints just like this one. I love the v-neck detail of this dress too as it steps up the whole look in a sexier level.

Another go to summer piece that I love are short mini dresses. Living in a tropical country and experiencing summer all throughout the year made me appreciate shorter dresses. It gives me the feeling of being relaxed and it doesn't make me sweaty at all. It also accentuates the long legs making it look sexy. I also love the fact that short dresses gives a casual, chill and chic vibes just like this short dress above.

Last summer look that I want to achieve is the monochromatic trend look. Dressing up in one color in an outfit sometimes seems hard and tricky. It's hard to play with one color but with proper outfit matching everything will look polished and sleek. Brown, white, black... I know these colors are the preferred ones in achieving the look but I'd like to see myself in a different one, in a silver dress.

Remember, Summer dresses doesn't have to be expensive to be called beautiful. I can attest to that because I have a lot of good yet cheap summer dresses from online stores! Happy Wednesday my readers!! Stay safe and healthy!

Pizza, anyone?? I'm feeling (literally) full and happy since this week started because things were slowly falling into place. I'm slowly being able to cope up with my goals again. It's a long hiatus when I was in bukid actually. All I did was to free my mind from all the worries, relax and just enjoy the moment. I think this is my way of releasing my anxiety. Now that I'm back home I finally decided to start moving and continue working on the goals that I set for this year. As for my blog, I have prepared a series of drafts waiting to be posted. Mostly are topics about fashion and food! I'm also back on playing the piano and made a promise to upload a cover either on my youtube channel or IG TV before this month ends. :)

Out of being productive and boredom, I'm happy to find new inspiration and ideas to try from Pinterest. Watch out for my next blog posts and see for yourself what I've been up to while being locked up at home. Cookie stuffed mallows in ice cream dip by yours truly! :)

I'm so fond of my mom's mini garden at home. She has this collection of mixed plants that she asked from different friends and people. She's collecting cactus and succulent plants and I must say that everything looks so cute! Napa photoshoot tuloy ako! :))

I miss dressing up too. I've been feeling myself lately and I couldn't be happier! I cleaned my closet when we got back home and decided to come up with an outfit to wear on a whole day in front of my laptop (while watching The King on netflix) Sayang naman ang mga pang-alis kung hindi magagamit. Haha! Wearing SHEIN from head to toe. Ahhh, I wanna go on a roadtrip with my friends alreadyyyy!

I don't know if being in quarantine made me slimmer or chubbier but I'm not really worried though as long as I am able to try and eat the foods that I am craving! I'm an innocent victim of how delicious this pizza is! I had it customized based on my preferred toppings. Plain 4-Cheese, bacon, chicken and green pepperon a thin crust. Yummy!!! Thanks Micah's Catering! I paired it with my favorite original and honey mustard chicken wings (which I wasn't able to include the picture here huhu). Sushi Bake and Yema Cake you're next in line!!!
