Let's be Taste-Makers!

Hi!

It's been awhile... Sorry! I think there may now be spam viewers trolling my site because despite my MIA status on this page for the past month, my views have spiked!

That's weird, right? So this is me making sure that this page will be more active in the next few weeks.. *pinky promise* ...but if you are a legit viewer, thanks for visiting! :) Mwah mwah tsup tsup! LoL!

So, I am now officially cut off from the corporate world and this is one of the things I enjoy doing -- making desserts!

There's a phrase that I came across the IG feed recently: "let's be makers!" and it's just a great thing to be throwing it out there as an invitation to keep the creativity and passion alive by doing and making something... So I tried doing just that... and this week's episode brings you, "The Joys of Dessert-making!"




(This weekend, Rhea and I will attend a jewelry workshop, so yes, more of "The Joys of Jewelry-making on the next post! I really am so creative! :P)

When it comes to no-bake desserts, it need not be complicated, if you love to eat, then you know what certain ingredients go well together like chocolate + nutella + banana + almonds, or avocado + cream cheese + pistachio, or apple + cinnamon + caramel...

So I've tried 3 desserts for the past week and yaaay! Masarap naman daw! Hehe!

Mangoes though will always be my favorite because of its effortless sweetness! :) My dessert go-to when it comes to this fruit is mango float (graham crackers + cream + condensed + mangoes)... this morning, however, I tried incorporating other ingredients to make it a little different.

What you'll need:
1 whole cream cheese
5 250 ml All-Purpose Cream
1 250 ml Condensed Milk
Cashew nuts (grounded)
Corn Flakes (unsweetened)
1 Mango (sliced in cubes)
1/4 Peaches (canned)
Graham crackers (Honey)

How to's:
1. Mix these ingredients together in a bowl until mixture is smooth: 1 whole cream cheese + 3 250 ml All-Purpose Cream + 125 ml Condensed Milk + corn flakes + cashew nuts

2. In a separate bowl, mix these together: 2 250 ml All-Purpose Cream + 125 ml Condensed milk + Mangoes (sliced in cubes) + Peaches (sliced also)

3. Line the rectangular container with the Graham Crackers, then start layering:
    Layer 1: Graham
    Layer 2: Mixture 2
    Layer 3: Graham
    Layer 4: Mixture 1
    Layer 5: Graham
    Layer 4: Mixture 2
* This depends on your tastebuds... if you love, love, love cheesecakes, then you can do the layering the other way around, but I like it to be sweeter and more fruity so more of the Mixture 2 for me :)

4. Top it with ground cashew nuts.

So there! It's so easy!!! ;) I'll be bringing these to my Bible Study group tomorrow and I hope that they'll like it!

Go ahead, be a tastemaker and share the sweet treat to your friends!

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
