More Flowers

I had loved taking picture to any natural beauty. My mother-in-law does planting a lot of flowers since we move this big house. I did plant few but most of them perennials which is I plant once then they come back every year. So, I don’t plant over and over. My mother-in-law is one of her hobby and favorite is planting and seeing the beauties of plants. They look worth it because they are so beautiful.

Trash & Empties.

These products are empties and I loving them all. When I ever love the stuff and works well to me I’m absolutely purchases them again.

They’re a lot of things that we thought we need them but in my experience these boxes, price tags, papers from things that we purchase are cause to trash full. I don’t keep them but I put them in recycle trash.

Here again throwing stuff. I’m pissed throwing stuff in the trashcan but what else I can do if these product are not work and already are expire date. I really don’t regret throwing them to the recycles. Oh the pants had a lot of holl and I can even gift them away. Of course, recycles, right?

Shop & Gift

I went shopped to walmart, T.J Maxx, Ross, Bath & Body works store. I bought few stuff that I going to gift to My Mother. She wanted something that she couldn’t find in the island. Luckily, I found what she wanted for in these store.

I had bought purse for my Mother, travel container for myself if ever I travel in the plane, training bra for my daughter of course everyone loves snacks my daughter discover this delicious snacks a vegetable fries we got this snacks at T.J Maxx store.

Bath & body works I like sometimes to go shopped travel size or when ever they had sales or coupons. Their products are not expensive or not cheap. But when you have coupons plus sales I got tempted to shops for birthday gift and for holidays. 

Another purse but bought it at walmart cheap. I also got from walmart this photo cd for my friend, training sport bra, socks, and short and neck pillow bought at TJ Maxx. Wish we had more store to go like target.

Here’s my belated mothers day. I am very lucky that I had sweet and beautiful stepdaughter. She been here for us since were in the united state.

Then I have 1st Nyx soft matte lip cream its more pigmented and creamy than milani is pretty bright but two of this together are good for this season. 

Solved Her Tangled Hair.

Oh getting up like this in the morning it isn’t fun. My daughter had thin hair and easily to get tangled. That most of her problems since she was started long hair. This is her first ever to let her hair long by requested her grandma in Philippines. My mother and that’s her grandma want to see her long hair but if I choose as a mother, I would like a short hair for her so easily for her to get ready in the morning for school because she’s a young to taking care of it and really not easy for her and I don’t even have a patient to taking care of my hair either. Since were planning this year to go visit my family in the Philippines I let have show her hair to my Mother because we been not seeing each other person in five years. 

This detangled spray is such a savior to her hair. When she was brushing her hair she complained but now, we discover this equate brands in Wal-Mart is cheapest stuff too. Were finally found the good hair spray for tangled and no complained and she loving it. Of course, she can brush her hair by herself with out crying and bagging someone.

Here’s the finish look after she brushing her hair. In hot day, she loves ponytails as her hairstyles it more simple and easy. So, she worried free.

Dessert

I cooked cassava cake the other day. When it’s cooked I don’t feel eating them such a boomer because I feel wasting food. I had that bad habit to me I love to cook but not that fun to eating my own cooking. I like to cook for somebody and somebody cooked for me. I don’t know if that makes any sense to you guys but that’s me. And the same day, my mother-in-law, Ellen and Emma made fudge for dessert. It’s about a desert day for everybody and a lot of sweet that we made.

Such a Filipino Goodies from Asian store.

A cabbage plant that daughter brought to our house from school. Were hoping to plant it in the ground when it not freezing. But this time, were still watering in the little pot.

Pure food and Argentina corn beef brands. Finally have few of corn beef its been a long I craving them. I am glad my friend queenie bought it for me in Springdale Asian store

Pure Calamansi Juice – it’s tiny green and taste sour. I love them to mix with anything for dipping sauce.

I enjoyed eating fish. I cooked it the oven with olive oil, butter, green onion and black pepper as a seasoning. It taste good. 

My daughter is a lover of green beans. Any styles we cooked she can eat it. She even not complains if it is meals everyday in our table.

One of my Filipina friends who often go shopped this Asian store in Springdale she and her husband like that’s store. They recommend that to us. Maybe sometimes I would like to go but I still so thankful cause if what I want to get from that store she could buy it for us. I had 2 pack of cassava inside the package, 6 goldilocks and 1 pack of calamansi as always.
