I was so intimidated by this new way to apply fals I was so intimidated by this new way to apply falsies by @kissnyph. I kept thinking to myself that I needed to have a special occasion and a lot of time to apply. So last Saturday, I made the extra effort to apply the Falscara from #KissNYph for our virtual event with Best Buddies.  Check out my stories to see how easy these were to put on!

If only every day can start with a warm cup of hot If only every day can start with a warm cup of hot chocolate and freshly made bibingka. Deliciously easy when my friend @girliebesa shares her @apetitph treats!! She also makes a wonderful holiday ham that I love even when it’s NOT a holiday. Because who wants to wait for a holiday?!?! Good Morning IG Peeps! What’s one thing on your to-do list that you already checked off?

I had the privilege to visit Madrid a couple of ye I had the privilege to visit Madrid a couple of years ago for a Best Buddies Global Staff Forum. I was able to extend my four day trip by a few more days to see the city and stay with my friend’s family while taking in all the beauty of Spain’s capital. More than anything, I enjoyed the simple flavors of the food. Tapas and wine. Bread for days. And the ways that I felt like I was “noshing” (because I’m from NY) nonstop. When I was ready to come home, I messaged @manila.gent and told him to buy extra weight for me going home from our travel agent. Can you guess why?

Because I wanted my family to enjoy all of the delicious treats that I enjoyed while I was there. 😋 From the chorizo to the jamon, the Manchego to the Torta Del Casar and the cute little breadsticks and membrillo. I bought paprika to give as gifts and hoarded saffron for my cooking adventures with @sinfullysabrina.

@thetastefulselections has all of my favorites from that trip, plus caviar from Italy, and cheddar from the UK. They also have steaks, award winning olive oil and more. Next on my list are trying more of the stuffed olives. They all look so interesting!

And for us to know His perfect will. Happy Birthday @manila.gent. I hope you enjoyed the simple celebration the kids put together for you. Love you.

I have often referred to Gelli as the canary in the coal mine. She has a read on the situation in our family before we do. The past few days she has been on edge. Irritable. Whiny. Weepy. Agitated. And impatient beyond belief. 😕 It didn’t help that yesterday was her first day back to school and she had said repeatedly, “No Zoom School, Mommy.”

Yesterday was tough. I woke up and wanted to attack my to-do list for Best Buddies and writing (which is pretty much nonexistent, save for my column with One Mega) but when I saw Gelli’s mood, her demeanor and her inability to sit still, I knew I had to stop what I was doing and just be present for her.

Praying for healthier safer times. So that when this kid’s energy is all over the place, we can throw on our sneakers and go play outside. And when everyone is getting antsy in the condo, we can just get in the car and take a road trip to some greener spaces. It does wonders for both of our souls.

For all the city dwellers here in the Philippines, what are you doing to break the monotony and reset your energy? How are you helping your littles manage the stress they are so obviously feeling?

And since this was the first time to dine out in nearly 10 months, I was bordering on trying to enjoy this very special treat, and putting my mask on after my mouth was full to chew. Oh and I may or may not have given people the evil eye if I felt they were too close for my own paranoid sense of comfort. 🤦🏻‍♀️
