Something Sweet & Nutty

Healthy You Trail Mix

I've been craving for something sweet & nutty (salty) lately.  Since the imported mixed nuts are expensive for personal consumption, I tried to do my own mix - argh! fail.  Thank goodness I spotted this Healthy You Trail Mix pack while doing our last minute grocery.  It's perfect for my snack cravings and budget!

My Top Picks: Best Android Apps This Holiday

OHHTHAT! TOP HOLIDAY ANDROID APP PICKS

I have to confess, this Holiday cannot be complete without these handy Android applications.  Times have changed, indeed! :)

Bath & Body Works Manila

Bath & Body Works - White Tea and Ginger Lotion

I recently discovered White Tea & Ginger lotion from Bath&Body Works.  It has a refreshing fragrance that is agreeable to my highly sensitive nose (floral scent gives me sniffles).  Best of all, it's available locally at SM Department Store along with other Bath & Body Works products! :) Ohh, love it! 

How's your holiday so far?  Had to cut mine short due to work, but parties & reunions are not yet over! Meaning, it'll be a week-long kainan and get-together after office hours before 2012...  Happy Monday!

PHILIPPINE HOLIDAYS: Last few in 2011

With PNoy willfully veering away from the last Administration's image, we had no or rather a few long weekends this year.  Too bad, Christmas and New Year both landed on a Sunday! Meaning, we might go back to work half asleep... x_X  But on a bright note, the President can still change his mind. (fingers crossed!)

December 25, Sunday – Christmas Day (regular holiday)

December 30, Friday – Rizal Day (regular holiday)

December 31, Saturday – Last Day of the Year (special non-working day)

Anyway, how's your Nochebuena preparations so far? Thank God I don't have to cook, less stress though I sure am going to miss the chaos.  Like last year, H & I will spend Nochebuena with my family and guess what we're bringing? Yup, Dairy a Queen Black Forest cake! H & I enjoyed the Blizzard so much, we're sure the cake will be twice the delight!  Ohh, I can't wait for Christmas!!! :)

Ohhthat! Gorilla Shoes.  Spotted this uniquely designed barefoot running shoes in the mall several days back.  I've been hearing about this trend early this year but didn't bother to check it since - well, it's weird!  Anyway, I finally did some research and found some cool stuffs that may be worth to give these funny-looking shoes a second look.
