IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Christmas season is always best if you spent it with your family. You get to laugh, enjoy good food and the company of your loved ones. And this is how me and my family spent it. We first ate a sumptuous dinner then we attended a mass. After the mass we went home, took pictures and ate our noche buena. However, Christmas eve is not about preparing lots of food, it is by celebrating its true meaning. Which is to share your blessings and happiness. Just like what the priest quoted, "It is easy to think of Christmas, it is easy to believe in Christmas but it is difficult to act out Christmas."
DIY: TSHIRT CUFF
Being a fashionista doesn't mean over accessorizing or buying all the latest trends in the market. You can still be one, if you know how to use your resources. Just like what I did with my old shirts which I turned to tshirt yarn into tshirt cuff. This was really a great idea especially if you have old tshirts stocked at your closet. Now, I'm gonna show you how...
(the brown and pink cuff is another style)
Materials:
Tshirt yarn
Scissors
1. Prepare 6 tshirt yarn. (to know how to make a tshirt yarn TSHIRT YARN) Color depends on you. (mine is, 2 pinks, 4 violet) You should make a knot first and taped it to a table.
2. Make a knot with the left yarn in first then the right yarn.

FEEL THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WITH PUTO BUMBONG
It's the month of December and Filipinos have the longest celebration of Christmas. When speaking of December, one thing is on my mind...to eat Puto Bumbong! It only started last year when I fell in love with it. Here in our city, I seldom see someone cooking or selling it. Thus, when I saw it in our plaza I decided to have a try and I liked it.
Actually, Puto Bumbong is a Filipino delicacy that's traditionally served during the Christmas season. It is a steamed glutinous rice cooked in a bamboo. The purple color comes from the mixture of sweet rice and black rice. It is served with butter or margarine, sugar and freshly grated coconut on top.
I really loved the taste of it. It's chewy and I can taste the sweetness of the margarine,sugar and coconut. It only cost 20 pesos and your good to go. A must-try filipino delicacy.

Recently, I have fell in love with zumba. I have been dancing for a week now and I had fun doing it every morning. However, I was a little bit uncomfortable with my workout attire. As a workout or gym lover it is important to wear the most comfortable outfit whenever you are in session. The reason for this is that having the suitable clothing helps you move easier. Thus, I decided to do this diy. So, here it is....
Materials:
Old tshirt (the bigger the better)
Scissors
1.Get your old tshirt.
2. Cut the neckline and bottom hem. Put aside the bottom hem. For the sleeves, cut downward starting from the shoulder and curve outwards down below the armpit seam. It depends on how thick you want your straps. Do the same to the other side.
3. Cut how low you want your front neckline.
4. Do the same to the back neckline, but this time make it more narrow.
5. Using the bottom hem, stretch it out until it becomes one long fabric. Knot the string a few inches above the bottom of the v-shape. Wrap the string upwards until you reach the top and make a knot. Trim the loose ends.
6. Lay your shirt sideways and cut diagonally. This will give your shirt a high-low look.
7. Done!!!
This diy was very helpful to my daily workout. I can move freely and comfortably. I hope you guys could try this too. Simple, easy and not time consuming. Actually, I have already made 3 workout shirts and I enjoyed wearing them.

VINTAGE FASHION ROCKS
Few weeks ago, I was hooked to do it yourself (diy) fashion. What caught me the most was the diy for old tshirts. I kept surfing the net until I decided to create one. Thinking we have lots of old tshirts, I started to open plastic bags where the shirts where kept and search for usable ones. After a few minutes, I found vintage items which I can add to my wardrobe. These items were my mom's outfits during the 90's when she was still working. I continued to look for more until I was able to find these great and gorgeous pieces:
Floral Jumpshort
Long Sleeve Dress
Checkered Blazer
High Waist Skirt
Maxi Skirt
