Teavana

Teavana, opening the doors to health, wisdom and happiness.

I am not new to drinking tea. But i don't do the loose-leaf tea and such. I find it to be messy and too much work to do. I used the tea bags and let it sit in the hot water and drink it. It's as simple as that.

While i was window shopping yesterday, i walked pass by teavana store. They sell different types of teas. I went in and tasted the sample and i loved it. I used to try it everytime i pass by their store but never got the chance to purchase one.

This time i was convinced. I talked to the lady and inquire how to make them and all the details. I have been drinking tea since i started with my 'mini' diet.

I end up getting 3 kinds of teas. The Fruit Diet Tea Blend , a combination of both White Avuvedic Chai and Samurai Chai Mate.

If you want to learn more about these teas, you can visit the Teavana.

Eating Less and Drinking More

I have been on a mission to lose my baby weight since last year. But i always fail. It's either i get unmotivated or uninspired to just try and do it.

In the last couple of weeks, i tried to do little exercise and i am doing healthy diet as well. I found no progress since then. I felt frustrated again with all the efforts and i am not seeing any good results.

But i keep doing it. I continued with my little exercise which is 30 minutes run in the treadmill for at least 3-5 days a week. I drink a lot of water, green tea and fat free milk. During the day, i eat at least 3 bananas and fruits to keep me filled and avoid carbohydrates like rice.(which i tell you is very hard for me. But i will tell you now, i keep cheating on diet during weekends. I know, it's bad. haha!

I tried to avoid weighing myself so i don't get frustrated. I told myself to just keep going. It will keep me healthy and weight loss will follow.

Last week, i got the courage to weigh and face the scale. I am happy to report to you that i have finally see results of my hardwork. I have actually lost 5 lbs.

I started out with 112 lbs and i am now between 107-108lbs. My target is 105 this time. So, i am so close to the target. However, i noticed that i am actually on my pre-pregnancy weight now, but i sure don't look the same as before. My question now is, HOW COME?! Do i have to target 100lbs to get back the shape that i have before?

Oh well, i just have to keep going. Keeping my fingers crossed..

It's Daddy's Bday...

We celebrated my hubby's bday simply...We went to cheesecake factory resto for dinner.

Nothing much really...We've been having too much partying this year that we wanted to have a family bonding kinda bday for him.

Here is a video my baby and me made for daddy...and few pics...

What's for next year...

I have been thinking where to go for vacation next year.  I am almost sure we are going back to the westcoast to attend my hubby's cousin's wedding in June.  We will be staying there for a weeklong for sure or even more.  There's a lot of plans on that occasion that i can be more excited.

I also want to make a weekend fly to Chicago.  But not on winter though.  Winter sucks in Chicago, i know how it is.  Too cold...

I want to go to hawaii, but flight takes too long, better be flying home if that's the case. wahhh!

Lastly, we've been planning to go to Orlando, Florida for those themeparks.  Well, at least that's not too far from us.  

Which one should we consider first?

tell me what are your plans?

I am Bringing back the Flares

When i was in College, I adore flare jeans.  It gives me the nice long-legged look and the curves without looking too boring.  With the new trends and style, skinny jeans is IN.  But flares never gets old and out of style.  It's always 'IN'.

When i saw Melissa Rycroft from the previous the Bachelorette in Good Morning America show, i spotted her jeans.  She was wearing True Religion.  And i must say, it looked good on her.  Why not on me?! waahhh...

With my research, she was wearing the True Religion Brand Jeans in Women's Joey Super T in Dark Laguna.  Okey, call me whatever you want, i am obsessed and i want the exact match of that same pair of jeans.

But this jeans retails for $319 plus tax.  Do i really need it?  Go figure!

Worthy of a Standing Ovation

Yes, i want to make everyday worthy of a standing ovation.  Not long ago, i was window shopping at the mall.  When i passed by Michael Kors boutique, the sales lady handed me with a card tester.  I was not paying so much attention when i got it as i thought, duh, this will be another 'hold-up' scheme. haha!  While i was walking out the store, i sniffed it.  True to its name, it has a scent with award worthy glamour.  Michael Kors Very Hollywood.  It makes everyday worthy of a standing ovation.

This is the newest addition to my perfume collection.

Now, tell me what's your all time favorite perfume?

Fall-ish shopping spree

I went for a little shopping spree for my daughter.  I bought some fall-winter clothes for her.  I spent not much coz we went to an outlet store.  I used my discount coupon plus most of their items were 50% discount.  

I also went to my favorite stores but only bought a few.  My most favorite pick was the jeggings.  It fits perfectly.  It is called jegging because it is a pair of jeans that fits like leggings. 

 I also bought a shirt and 2 sweaters.  And lastly, my hubby grab for me the michael kors very hollywood perfume.  We are set for the cold weather.  I can't wait to wear 'em...

A 'not so' happy weekend

As most of you don't know, i am a work from home mom.  My life is pretty occupied during the weekday.  I do pretty much all chores, look after my baby and work at the same time.  I find no 'alone' time for myself.  I am most of the time in my computer.  I can call it my other half, and an outlet for me.

I always thank God for Fridays.  My hubby comes home early from work on Fridays.  We could spend a 'so called' family time together.  And that would be the start of our fun weekend.

During the weekday frame, we plan what to do over the weekend.  Something exciting but I'd prefer to plan something special for the baby.  This time around, it's not for me anymore, it's more on for the baby.

But this Friday was different.  A friend of my hubby called mid-week and wants to stay over the weekend at home.  That was fine..  I thought it's fun.  And it's always been fun when people come over to visit us.

Something happened last night.  I don't have to tell you in details.  It's this normal husband-wife arguments.  No, it's not even argument, i would say when both of you become 'sensitive' at the same time.  When neither one wants to give in and be patient.  

I hate fighting over nonsense things.  I usually just let it go and be by myself.  Normally, i would just sleep it in.  Then, i'd be fine the next day.

But as i've said, this time is different.  I was hurt and the pain didn't go.

I thought of sharing my feeling to this blog.  When i know this is what blogging is all about.

That's my little story of my not so happy start of my supposed to be 'happy weekend'...Tell me what's your story.  I'd love to hear it.

Tory Burch 'LeeLee' Flat

The leaves will soon turn into colors.  Fall is coming out very soon.  When i think of pre-fall season, i think of flats, ballet type shoes. I am on a mission of finding the perfect and comfortable flat shoes for fall.  I came across with this shoes.  It is not cheap.  But i think it is beautiful and i love it.

This flat retails for $235.  Maybe i'll have it or maybe not.

If you love me, i'll take that in size 6. hahaha!
