[DIY] Gift Baskets for Birthdays

May 20th, 2013 . No Comments »

Another delay most from March 2013. It was another girlfriends’ birthday of mine. If you read my last post – it’s almost the same concept but with different things inside this basket and is decorated a little differently. Overall – one word to describe it “FUN”.

What’s included: A set of body gel, a necklace, and a bath scrub.

This is the second basket I’ve done for the year of 2013 – there’s going to be more blog posts about DIY Birthday Baskets coming! Stay tune for more. Reason why I DIY my birthday gifts? It’s fun and it’s unique. You won’t find it anywhere else. I love to bring my creative side out and I love to give!

[DIY] Gorgeous Birthday Gift Baskets

May 15th, 2013 . No Comments »

Another post from back in March 2013 – I love DIY projects and sometimes my hands do get itchy from not putting a basket together. It’s just too much fun for me. The displaying process and wrapping process. I enjoy every bit of it. I love to be creative when it comes down to thinks like this. I love to do it myself and put the time for it. I just love the extra things I do.

This basket I put a set of shower gels, two La Senza Panties, and a bag of bath salt.

I haven’t tried these bath gel/shower body gel myself but they smell really yummy! I should of got one for myself thought. Hopefully my friend love what’s inside this basket and actually enjoy it. Every girl needs a bubble bath and I can’t live without one each day.

Here’s the finishing product – the wrapping part is the hardest. Hopefully she’ll love what I put together for her. It was indeed a fun project – stay tune for my next DIY birthday baskets! Not hard to do – took me about 20 good minutes? Totally worth my time.

[DIY] Mini Pillow Key Chains ;; Cross Stitching

May 10th, 2013 . No Comments »

Most of my blog posts are delayed – so this is another blog post that was from March 2013. It’s been almost a year since I touched my cross stitching supplies. I miss cross stitching – I’m just not motivated to go back to it yet. When I am – you’ll see more posts about these mini pillow key chains / cell straps. Anyways – I made a set of these for a friend’s birthday.

Making these mini-pillows is fun but very time consuming. I can only work on it when my munchkin is asleep because there’s needles involved and I don’t want to poke him by accident. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get back to making these soon!

[Shopping] Shutterfly Photo Book Review + Coupon

May 5th, 2013 . No Comments »

Ever heard of Shutterly before? I’ve never did till I took Santa photos with my son and hubby. They gave us a $10 Shutterfly coupon with our purchase. Here’s a little review about Shutterfly. If you think $10.00 coupon is good enough for you to purchase a photo book from them – you are absolutely wrong. When looking through their website – I know exactly that I’ll probably need to pay an extra of couple bucks. I forgot about shipping. So this little photo book cost about $12.00 even with the $10 coupon deducted. Isn’t it a bit pricey for a photo book this size? But never mind – I chose all the pictures already and I didn’t want to not get it.

The quality of the papers were good but to me – it’s not worth it. I made this book in December of 2012 and it came a week later. Really – I don’t think it’s worth the money at all because of the price. I could get one a lot cheaper and a bigger size too.

But overall – my mother-in-law love her birthday present. I planned so far up ahead that I got this ready for her in December when her birthday is in March. Can’t help it – that’s just my personality for planning things ahead. Would you order from Shutterfly?

Working Out at Home

May 1st, 2013 . No Comments »

After weighting myself a week ago – I got very mad and disappointed at myself. Well to be honest – I knew this was coming and I should of done something about it earlier. But it is never too late – I don’t need to wear plus size yoga clothes yet – so that’s good news. From a size extra small to now a medium is quite a big change. I miss how my body used to be when I was in high school. It’s my day 6 work out so far and I’m doing pretty good. A bit on the slacking off side but I must work harder to get what I want. No more excuses on this! I need to get in shape!

[Online Shopping] Stylish Royal Blue Spring/Fall Jacket

April 30th, 2013 . No Comments »

Been wanting to get a winter jacket like this for awhile but I stopped myself because I have around 3-4 winter jackets already. Since Spring was around the corner – I got myself a spring/fall jacket instead. No more BLACK color for my jackets. About 95% of my jackets are BLACK and I’m getting sick of that color already – too boring.

There’s a couple of colors to pick from but I chose royal blue – royal blue has become one of my favorite colors to wear lately. This jacket is very light weight and is stylish too. Love the material – definitely a good buy. I’m thinking of getting another one in pink or purple? Gotta spice up my closet with different colors too. Online shopping has been ‘convenient’ yet dangerous to me. I’m getting an habit of receiving mails literally every day. This is just oh-so-bad!

[Online Shopping] Blue Baby Shoes

April 25th, 2013 . No Comments »

Look what I got for my cutie pie. Yep – more shoes! This is probably the fourth pair of shoes we bought him. I couldn’t resist on the cuteness. Soon – he’ll have a shelf full of shoes. Who say boys can’t have a shoe collection right? Now thinking – if I had a daughter – I would of gone more crazier.

It’s too cute – I even bought an extra pair for whoever is having a baby boy next. So please friends – have some babies soon so my munchkin will have more friends to play with! *wink wink* Anyways – a little review about this pair of shoe. It’s very soft and easy to wear. I bought both pairs at 12cm length – that’s the largest size. Not too bad – fits my munchkin perfectly with extra room. Hopefully he can wear it for 2-3 more months. Baby grows too fast – that’s why I bought him a size bigger. Overall – I love it!
