Tapioca Oreo Pearl Shake

The first trimester of my pregnancy is taking my appetite on a roller coaster ride. Although, I wanted to throw up everything, but I had to make sure my stomach has something to digest since my body is at work twice as much. I want to nurture my baby eventhough the smell of some foods is killing me.

One of the joys of pregnancy is enjoying your food cravings while your hubby gets it for you even at 3 in the morning. However, one of the pitfall of knowing how to cook is, when I crave something, I make it happen. My usual problem was, most of the food I craved wasn't available here so I had to make my own.



I had a craving for Zagu. Zagu is a brand name for a Tapioca pearl shake I loved way back 10 or more so years ago when still I was still in Manila. I have used and tried different types of tapioca available here in U.S but none of them successfully comparable to this...Boba tapioca is available at Asian store. This tapioca is chewy, sweeter by itself and very easier to cook. And for the shake, just blend ice oreo cookies and milk.


SUCESS!

Not all stories have happy ending. After enjoying my zagu, my morning sickness kicked in and I threw up. Bummer.

Someone Special is Coming



I stared at it for the longest time. I remember it lasted about a few minutes. Now the two purple intersecting  lines made quite an impact that would change my life forever.

Maybe I was reading it incorrectly? Are those really two lines or it was actually just one because I can bearly see the other line. There was a hint of denial. I went to the store and got another one, but this time it will be for sure. I did it again and digitally confirmed, "Pregnant".

I felt my blood drained from my head. Everything stopped for a moment. I was dumbfounded then my thoughts ran like the speed of light. I have summed my baby's course of life from childbirth fast forward to adolescence. Then, my thoughts reverted to "what will become of me?".

When I found out we were having a baby, It wasn't like the movies when I'm over the moon. Tiny cute clothing's and flaunting my bump were my least concerned.

I am growing another human being whom in the future is capable of either hurting me or loving me unconditionally. This stranger would come in my life who potentially could take everything I have and or be my everything.

I only fell deeply in love once. I have sacrificed and loved my husband to the fullest. The fear of losing him eats me, so what more of my flesh and blood? My husband reminded me that this child is not our possession but only entrusted in our care to find its purpose to contribute for the benefit of reflecting God's glory.

Chic Gems

I would like to introduce the hand behind this creative fashion jewelry. My friend Jan Peterson of Chic Gems is an amazing woman who designs her own high quality and just GORGEOUS fashion accessories.
Here is a sample of one of her creations. I got this set of necklaces when she held a special event/generous donation to our church Copper Mountain Assembly of God here in Tucson. It was a fund raising to benefit the ministries our church is supporting. The price asked was from the heart. All the proceeds went to the ministries.



She gave me a lessons on how start a jewelry business. She taught me lot but the most important lesson I learned was to put the Lord's kingdom all business and never count it as loss and the He will bless you and your business.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Prov. 16:3

Peppermint Mallow Cream and Dresslily Giveaway!!!

....meanwhile at the Christmas clearance section at the grocery store, I found peppermint flavored marshmallows. Suddenly I remembered a recipe from one of the ladies at our church consists of jello, cream and marshmallows.




 I am not a marshmallow type of person. However, I like perppermint! It's a shame I was too busy shopping for Christmas stuff and never noticed that there is such as peppermint marshmallows. Oh well.

This recipe for the cream is very easy. Put peppermint marshmallow (amount of your choice) into a cup of whipping cream. Let it sit for a minute or two and whip it at speed two with a stand mixer. If you like chunks of marshmallows, put the marshmallows at you whip the cream. 


I sprinkled crushed peppermint candy to add a little crunch to the dessert.

Just a reminder. The DressLily giveaway is still on going.

Inspiration On How To Wear Faux Fur Vest

Did you ever had I-forgot-I-have-it moment while browsing in your closet? I bet you did!


I got this faux fur black vest as Christmas present from my mumsy a few years ago. She had so much hope in me that I could pull through a wardrobe like this. I don't want to appear too flashy. I have tried the mix and match game with it but to no avail, I wasn't very successful. I found it again sadly hanging in the closet waiting to be worn. I wanted to figure out how to wear it with a little subtlety

I browsed the trusty Google engine and found this photo for inspiration. Casual but sophisticated get-up with a touch of brown leather bag and flats.



...still playing with it and trying on some more ideas.
