Flowers are already pretty as they are, but it wouldn’t hurt to jazz up a plain vase with something you might already have on hand: seashells (Finally! A use for those beach souvenirs.) First, lay out the shells on the table and decide which ones you want to use. Do you want to work with similar ones or experiment with your own pattern? Arrange the shells on the table according to how you want them on the vase. Use hot glue to permanently attach them to the vase. Now you’ve got a beach-inspired arrangement to brighten up any corner.
Getting loko over Chocolate…..
There are times when my taste buds crave for sweets. Even if I’m still in the office I’m already thinking of sweet foods like chocolates, candies and cakes. After work I immediately go to the mall along with my hubby and grab the most appetizing sweet temptation of all (chocolate bar). Can you just imagine the texture of chocolate, its aroma and the sweet blend of milk, cocoa and sugar? But not all chocolate bars on the market are created equal so I make sure that I choose the best. And guess what I never failed, I always pick the best tasting chocolate bar. I know that this craving is something to get rid about coz it really adds up to my pounds but what can I do? I even heard that if a person eats a lot of choco, the hips get big and it is obvious among the people who consume lots of chocolate…
One more thing accordingly we Filipinos have a sweet tooth, so would that mean of getting rid of my tooth? Ouch…. Well anyway my craving is not that serious and I wouldn’t let myself get enslave with chocolate… That is all for now enjoy your choco…..

Party on Cue
Set up for a fun backyard party without having to search endlessly for the citronella candles, the barbecue lighter, or the grill tongs. Organize like a pro, with “stations” for entertaining supplies, so you never have to waste time hunting for them. Tuck everything into a portable container (like that nice picnic basket you never use) and park it near the door to your patio. Cushion breakables with something soft.
pet love!
All your pet really needs is love, exercise, and a dry place to sleep in. A cushion or dog bed protects him from the cold floor that can cause discomfort in older dogs, especially those suffering from arthritis. Always have a bowl of fresh water nearby. A chew toy or dog bone can keep his teeth marks off your favorite shoes.
Feng Shui Your Apartment!
Most of us who live in high-density urban areas know full well that small living spaces are a fact of life. No one likes minimal square footage, but most of the times, a small apartment is not as much a choice as it is a necessity. However, with a little help from three basic feng shui principles, we can come up with a relatively simple plan to give our small apartments a little weekend makeover which will prove beneficial for both the state of our wardrobes and our spiritual wellbeing.
Rule number one: no more clutter. “Clearing clutter is a logical step to accomplish your goals. Keeping your home and workplace clean and organized promotes happiness, efficiency, and peace of mind” advises Jayme Barrett, who specializes in techniques for personal fulfillment and author of bestselling book “Feng Shui Your Life”.
Whether we’re talking shelves or counter tops, the basic rule of thumb is “minimalism”. Remove every single object from such surfaces, dust them and then reorganize all the items you need to keep visible. Focus on your dearest photos, the objects you care about most and which have positive connotations. But remember – not too much of them.
Next, reorganize your wardrobe. Coordinate your clothes after a certain code – whether it’s color, season, and type and so on. Personalize as much of the process as you possibly can, in order to create your own world with your own rules – something which is bound to keep the feel-good factor up and running.
Then, it’s time to put aside the dusting cloth and focus more on feelings. Barrett explains that “Feng Shui is based on the idea that everything is energy, therefore ‘energetic’… and that every object in your life has a memory association, as well as an energy attachment that consciously or unconsciously affects you”.
In other words, don’t let any photos of your exes linger around. Put anything that you associate with a painful break-up or emotionally distressing episode in your life in a box and store it out of sight if you can’t stand the thought of throwing them away completely.
Finally, it’s important to identify the places in your apartment where you’re more likely to spend a lot of time seated – your desk, the living room couch, your favorite kitchen chair. Whether it’s framed movie posters or world maps, they make for excellent inspiration and will remind you of positive experiences and projects you may have for the future. There’s always room for a little more color in your life, and this is the best way to get it. Just have fun purchasing the posters and putting them up – then enjoy the results of your hard work and you’ll feel better already.
plain pillowcase?
Hey guys if you are looking to replace your plain pillowcases, I tell you don’t buy new ones just yet. A little work with scrap fabric will do the trick on your old pillowcase. Trust me this really works. Here’s how to make: first, measure the opening of the pillowcase. Then, cut the printed fabric in the same length, and about five inches in width. Have half an inch allowance on all sides. Take the plain pillowcases and sew the printed fabric onto the edge of the pillowcase. Well, you can always do some variety, such that you can use square cut outs of various sizes. And, follow the above procedure. Isn’t that simple!
