Assam Milk Tea Vibes

Last Sunday, I started my day with some handmade accessories: my ceramic earrings from Maria Ceramika and my stainless steel and crystal necklace from Made by KCA.  

I was happy to spot some pretty tiles while ordering milk tea.

I was feeling festive, so I got myself some Assam Milk Tea with Pudding and Pannacotta. This drink simply reminds me of good vibes and simpler times. 

Then, I got myself a bracelet spelled g-r-i-t from Bedazzled Accessories at The Craft Central. It should remind me to keep going during tough times because I’m resilient and resourceful. 

It was day two of the Destash Bash at The Craft Central Cafe! My favorite yarn store, The Attic Yarn and Craftery had a booth there, where they sold affordable yarns and makes.   

I got myself this lovely cup cozy crocheted with love by Ceryl, one of the women behind this brand. I am thankful to have found this brand, and I look forward to more years of friendship with them.  

I also returned to Made by KCA’s booth at the bazaar outside Vertis North. I got myself a moonstone ring inspired by my undying love for Bella Swan of the Twilight books. 

I will forever support handmade because it inspires me to be a better person! I may not have much, but because I have grit and a good eye for local treasures, I know that I will survive anything that life throws at me. 

And at the end of the day, there’s always milk tea.  

Soup and Soul

I have been recently trying to reflect on the important things in my life. It was interesting to review my skills, and it has enabled me to find ways to improve myself. I signed up for seminars, conferences, and workshops to expose myself to industry experts and leaders. I read books, learned to knit, and prayed like it’s no one’s business. 

I also became more selective of the food I eat because I want to make each meal count.

One of my favorite spots for mindful eating can be found in a lot of malls in the metro. Cafe Mary Grace serves a filling version of seafood chowder which always speaks to my soul. It’s a revival in a bowl. I enjoy it with the Mary Grace Tandem, an insanely delicious combo of grilled ensaymada and rich colonial-style hot chocolate. This meal has never failed me, and you have to give it a try.  

You will find your soul and stay for the chocolate. It is truly a win-win situation each time!
