Christmas Segragation

By | Christmas, Green | One Comment

 Oh my gosh! I am segragating during christmas! 🙂  Is there such a thing as Christmas segragation?  

I am so busy watching over the mess I don’t get to open gifts! I open them after the kids have opened theirs 🙂  I am nagging them to put ribbons together, torn wrappers and boxes etc etc

All gifts that come in paper bags, I set aside and keep for reuse

 I don’t have the heart to throw!!  I keep all the ribbons and try to reuse too

 I used to collect the Rustan’s boxes and ribbons and return them back to the store so they can be reused, but recently I keep them because I love the boxes!!  I can use them to store things in my linen cabinet or pantry

 Then of course wrappers have to go because they are torn already – though they can be used for stuffing too

Ho Ho Holiday Packages from Kalikhasan

By | Christmas, Green, Proud to be Pinoy! | No Comments

Heart2Heart is happy to meet another young entrepreneur, Malou de Joya, who makes eco friendly products!  Malou told me that she started by supplying hotels and resorts with soaps and other toiletries for their resorts.  Now, she has her own line which I love because it is very Filipino!

I got to try most of the products and I also received a gift from my friend Michele – the Itch Away holiday pack which is so useful!

I am so glad Jaime took it for a day – he is very independent so he just travels around the city – usually the bus or underground- but I prefer this 🙂

I saw the same thing in London!

It was nice to be back at Balik Bukid!!  I love coming here even just to see what everyone is doing – selling, buying, eating, zip lining, boating, horseback riding and many more nature activities.  Heart2Heart wants to live with Soul and maybe one day would want to live in Sta. Elena!

Bambee’s Juicer

By | Foodie, Green | 2 Comments

In one of our velada meetings, my good friend, Bambee, introduced me to her Hurom juicer.  She claims that it’s the best juicer in town!  and probably the most expensive too! 🙂

It’s available in Rustan’s department store!

She made one of her juice recipes for us

And here she is about to dunk the first cucumber and very happy to serve us healthy drinks 🙂

It separates the pulp from the juice

The pulp she says she still uses them by making them into cakes or other pastries

Yummy!
