Or are you eating one right now? 😊 Aha! If you haven’t tasted one, I suggest you try it (maybe a bakery near you is offering them). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The moment I saw this on my Facebook feed, I knew I was going to order a box or two. And I did. For some reason, this food trend is familiar and I had a feeling that I already know how it would taste. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, at first, I tried it from a baker from our neighbor village. It was satisfying. And then I also decided to try the one from <i>Mix-Up Breadhaus N’ Variety Store</i>. I did not go to Cabuyao, Laguna though – I got it from a reseller. It was a smooth transaction. </span><br />

<b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Milky Cheese Donut = Big hug </b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let’s talk about the taste. The first bite felt like a big hug. Comfort. And goodness. It was that good. Or maybe I’m just a cheese and creamy flavor lover? Anyway, that’s my take on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After finishing one (or maybe three?), I stared at the remaining pieces. And that’s when I remembered something. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I finally found out why this food is familiar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Why the milky cheesy donut is something that I know. It’s because I have tasted it before.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s because of my seatmate and her name's Em. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was in senior year and it’s the first year that we became classmates. We were seatmates and she would sometimes bring some milky cheesy donuts with her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That’s how I know how it tasted because she would share this food to me. She was cool like that. If my memory serves me right, she would sometimes buy two pieces and one would be for me because I absolutely love them! And she knows that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Yes, these were made by my husband. I asked him to make a batch for today (when I was making this blog).</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then there were times when I would ask her to buy me some for myself, too, so she doesn't have to share hers anymore. It was great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Until one day when she said that the bakery where she bought this yummy goodness doesn’t make them anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was sad but that was that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was forgotten because you know, senior year. Lots of things to think about like studying, prepping for finals, making sure my notes were complete, and of course, thesis, and more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, this food trend made me remember Em’s kindness. And coolness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Why am I sharing this story? Simply because now that I’m remembering all of these, I’m also reminded of the importance of being kind. How kindness can go a long way. How it impacts the person you’re being kind to. That after many years, I was reminded of the kind acts she’s given me. It stays. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Be kind to one another, guys. Let's be kind to one another. It's important. </b></span><br />

It's soooo cool how she was able to save a lot of money using this challenge. I decided to give it a try!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7kJoJmtzQTfaIQzfh50dPDEs6ze3CsAvduB1Wy2KYgNI9wvHl9oIjazSUbUUx1X8zRpjU8IMycYtEwXjsYtHBd0JRUD5mXc5O1LE7hetO7gbwRA2zD2e4veMk2E6MV4eSWEun4rVjKAp1/s1600/50-peso+saving+challenge.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So how does it work? Apparently, every time you will get a 50-peso bill, you will have to save it. That could be tricky especially since I don't earn a lot. But I was very interested to see how much I can save. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I decided that I will try this "Ipon Challenge" (saving challenge) for a month and I started on February 20th of this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>My experience with the 50-peso saving challenge</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Was it easy? </i>Definitely not. But I did my best not to spend the 50-peso bills that came my way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Did I always get 50-peso bills?</i> Sad to say, no. But then again, I have a strict budget when it comes to groceries, medicines, etc. And so, I will just encounter a 50-peso bill as a change when I buy something. And it's not that often -- I realized that now. I'm a freelancer; I work at home so I am almost always at home. But I go out for coffee with my family or when we go for groceries, or other errands. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A helpful tip that I can tell you to be absolutely successful in this challenge is to have a specific mindset when it comes to 50-peso bills. For me, I imagined that they were <i>'invisible' </i>and therefore, I should not be spending it. You cannot spend an invisible money, right? Right? RIGHT?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, was I successful? I would say, YES. This was a SUCCESS! I guess, it was easier for me because I work at home and I do not always have to go out and be in a situation where I really have to spend a 50-peso bill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">How much did I save? This is a very exciting question. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>What did I learn from this challenge?</i> I have to say, self discipline. Also, you really have to be determined when it comes to challenges like this one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Will I continue doing this?</i> Possibly. I mean, it was fun. And I see it as a good start for bigger savings so I would probably continue this type of saving challenge. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've been following Neri Miranda on Instagram for a while now. Why? Well, I admire her energy and enthusiasm towards life, business, and family. That's how I knew about <b><span style="font-size: large;">Neri's Not So Secret Garden</span></b>. I wanted to visit it because from the photos, the place looked so relaxing and just somewhere nice to spend quality time with the family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, a few weeks ago, we decided to visit and dine at Neri's Not So Secret Garden. It's pretty easy to find, well, because of Waze (and Google Maps). We looked for the blue door because I was following Neri's instruction from one of her posts. And there it is. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As parents, we all want what's best for our kids. We learn to be patient and understanding to our kids' needs. I'm no expert when it comes to parenting; up until now, I still believe I have a lot to learn as a parent, and it's definitely interesting to learn more about my kid. So, if I think there's a program out there that can help my child grow, teach him wonderful things, and just get the additional educational support that he needs (that aren't necessarily highlighted at school), I'm in! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I discovered <b>TULA Philippines</b> from a Facebook sponsored post. The phrase that stood out to me the most when I saw the ad was the "build stronger character". I'm curious as to the kind of learning that will happen and I would love to see what my kid can get from this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I signed up for a <a href="https://bit.ly/FreeTrialatTULA" target="_blank"><b>free trial</b></a> and scheduled a visit to the nearest center. My husband and I didn't know what to expect, really. Or if it will work. We're just happy to try and see if my kid will like it there. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At the free trial, we were asked to leave our kid at the center for the free session, which was for two hours. After that, one of the coaches, Coach Ian, talked to us about TULA Philippines, what it's really about, and how he thinks he can help my son. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I also asked my son after the free session to see if he liked it there. He said he's very excited because the coaches are nice and he thinks it could be fun. So for us, that's a really good thing. We went ahead and enrolled him in the program. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We're very impressed because we learned that TULA's goal is to help kids grow and reach their full potential. Who wouldn't want that for their kid? :) I think as parents, we do have the same goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Founded by James Centenera and Fenton Whelan, two education entrepreneurs, TULA's learning models are innovative and fitting for kids of the 21st century. They have this international-based curriculum called <b>CASK</b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Looks really interesting, right? <b>BUT does it work?</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Based on what I can see from my child, I think it does. <b>It works.</b> The effects of the tutorial program are very positive. My son is 9 years old now and he's at that 'shy type' stage. Curious but a little shy when it comes to getting himself out there. TULA's coaches and learning program are definitely helping him be more 'out there'. Try new things, be more positive, see the positive things in life, be more passionate, and think about future goals. It certainly is a process. But it is progress. My husband and I see progress and we're ecstatic. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the changes that we're seeing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We completed one quarter (Q4) so last week, there was a Creators Studio Culminating Event and we, the parents, were invited to join. It's a celebration of what the kids have learned and since writing short stories was a part of Q4, they will be showcasing some of the unique stories the kids have written. </span><br />

I'm also very happy about my kid's performance, telling us a story about Pikachu and how he handled Raichu (the bully in his unique story). It was entertaining and we're happy because he has his own Storywalk, which is like a mini station where he can tell parents about the unique story he's written. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For a quite a while now, my husband and I have been wondering about the dome-like structure that we've been seeing when we're at Evia Lifestyle Center. The place is near Evia so we can see it from there. We originally thought that it was a church, and promised to visit it one day and hear mass from there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And that day came; kind of like a little adventure one Sunday morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We visited this place without knowing what it actually is. We thought that it could be a church, and while entering the place, we saw that sign that says 'Notre Dame De Vie Chapel' so our initial thought was validated. Sort of. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Right away, we saw the enormous and kingdom-like exterior that's really pleasing and wonderful to look at. And then we found out that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/palazzoverde/" target="_blank">Palazzo Verde</a> is actually a venue. A wedding ceremony and reception venue. 😅😂</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But they do have a chapel, which we were not able to visit because the Holy Mass was over. It was at 8 am to 9 am (we later found out), and we arrived there at around 10:30 am. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As I've mentioned in my last post, we did visit some Catholic churches when were in Germany. Today, let me feature St. Joseph an der Höhe and St. Laurentius. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">St. Joseph an der Höhe is actually a monastery church located in Bonn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Built in 1883 - 1887, the monastery was said to be one of the most popular wedding churches in Bonn. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After a few days, we visited St. Laurentius Parish Church (Pfarrkirche St. Laurentius). </span><br />

We do!</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But you know, traveling with a kid could be quite interesting, and really exhausting at the same time.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We're currently in Germany. My son and I had an opportunity to go for a vacation this year. So we went. We're still here. We'll be here for three months! It's the school break so we were able to go; it'll be a bit late once the school starts again in June but the school principal already knows, and she's agreed to excuse him for said time. His dad wasn't able to come with us because of his work (hard to ask for 3 months leave). We miss him but we're visiting our family so we are enjoying our time here because we don't know when this opportunity will knock on our doors again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As I was saying, traveling with your kid, a 7-year old, could be quite interesting. This is because he's old enough to remember things, tell stories about his travel, and appreciate stuff. And, of course, because you never know what he would think of things, what his take on this food and that. It's interesting to get to know your kid this way. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I also said that it could be really exhausting. One, he's old enough to carry his own bag but then again, he will always ask you to carry it for him. I mean, he's a strong kid but you really cannot expect him to carry it for a really long time especially with the long walks at airports. So, mommy has to carry it. And two, there will be lots of questions and sometimes, when you're carrying his bag, too (meaning you're already a bit exhausted), you have little patience for never ending questions. It's cute (the questions) to a certain point but then when you're carrying two bags plus coats ... Anyway, there are other things but these are the top 2 on my list. LOL. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So far, our vacation has been really wonderful. We've visited some places already like Ludwig Van Beethoven's birthplace.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Taking photos aren't allowed inside the house. It's amazing to see the portraits, Beethoven's instruments, and some letters. Great visit. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A few days ago, we went to Museum Alexander Koenig and my son had a real blast! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Taking photos inside is allowed. So that's a good thing to know when you plan to visit this museum in Germany. This is a zoological research museum so it's really fun and educational for you and your kid! When we visited, there was a 'Spider and Scorpions' exhibit so we saw at lot of real and live ones. My 7-year old was very impressed and kind of scared at the same time. :) Can't say that I didn't feel the same way. It's awesome and hair-raising all at the same time. Here's one huge spider ... </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Blogging. It's something that I really like to do, you know? But time, again, is really tricky. I am a work at home Mom. Usually, I don't have time for anything else but family, work and house errands. I do go out with friends from time to time. I only have one kid and he's 7 years old now. It's not easy sometimes. I know, right? Just one kid and not easy? What am I talking about? For me, it's not easy. I am amazed and totally in awe of those moms with more than one or two kids. How do you do it? </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anyway, the aim of this post is to share the status of my blogging life. :) I am here, just not that active. Always trying to be. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Before, the focus of the blog is 'Fashion and Style'. But I changed it last year to a Lifestyle blog so I can talk about more stuff. I didn't change the name of the blog anymore because I really like it.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, that's it. Talk to you soon!</span><br />

We're one of those couples who celebrates a lot of things. It is a way of life, I guess. I like it very much. A few days ago was one of our anniversaries, and it's a major one. We planned ahead but sometimes, plans are just plans. A day before our anniversary, we decided to just have a family lunch and dinner somewhere. My husband went to work the night before (yes, night shift) and he texted me in the morning and said that I should bring extra clothes for us just in case. Of what, I had no clue. I just thought maybe because if it's hot, we may want to change clothes or something. The weather in our country at the moment is unbelievably hot so I didn't think much of that request.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make the really long and sweet story short, he surprised us with an overnight stay at a bed and breakfast near Rockwell. I was so happy! A staycation! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a family, we love the idea of travel. We even travelled to other countries but sometimes, traveling, when you have a 6 year old kid is not that convenient. That's just me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So... Here are some of the photos of the B&B. We stayed at <a href="http://lacasitamercedes.com/" target="_blank">La Casita Mercedes</a>. Apparently, it's a 'restored colonial house'. This is just brilliant! It's just perfect for us. </div>

And then, there was that time when Taylor Swift would always wear black and white striped top - I just fell inlove with the thing even more. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Do you love shopping? I’m sure you do – who doesn’t right? Well, I loooove shopping especially when our budget permits me to do so. It’s fun, exciting and, well, to some of us, it’s one way to relieve stress. Retail therapy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Due to this, I decided to create a new segment here at <b><a href="http://www.charmandglamour.com/" target="_blank">Charm and Glamour</a></b> called <span style="font-size: large;">"</span><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Love Shopping by Ara"</span>.</b></i> This segment will showcase items that I've purchased and received as gifts – all fashion related stuff, of course. Love Shopping by Ara will not include any reviews / articles though; this segment will include more photos – that’s for sure. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Crowdfunding + FAB Custom Apparel</i> = <b>Teespring.com </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently, I discovered a really helpful and rather brilliant site – <b>Teespring.com</b>. It is a crowdfunding site where people can register, design and sell custom tees and apparel. Now, isn’t that brilliant? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Who can use Teespring? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://teespring.com/" target="_blank">Teespring</a></b> is open to anyone. If you are in a group or a community that will need some custom apparel then you should definitely visit the site. For causes who need custom tees for their events and special gatherings then they surely need Teespring.com. If you own a non-profit organization who wants to build awareness by creating custom-designed shirts then Teespring couldn’t be more perfect for you. If you have a great design idea for a T-shirt and want to get started but no means to do so, Teespring is your solution. There was this couple who used Teespring and created Tshirts with a simple yet touching message, <i>“Love Makes a Family”</i> – they needed to raise money so they can adopt. That was just so lovely. So you see, this platform can be used as a fundraising tool – OR if you just want to earn extra money. Really, anyone can use this awesome crowdfunding site! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Do I need to pay anything upfront to use Teespring? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>No, not at all.</b> Since it’s crowdfunded, people who wishes to use the site will not have to worry about paying anything upfront. We all know that anything that includes design and manufacturing will cost something upfront. With Teepsring.com, you don’t have to worry about that at all. In fact, you – as the seller – control almost everything here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">- <i>You can design your own tshirts</i>. When you decide to create your tee, you have the ability to design it by adding text (they have lots of really good fonts to use) to your shirt. If you’ve created the design yourself, you can also upload it there. Aside from that, they also offer their art library where you can browse items to add as a design to your shirt. It’s so easy to use. If you want to try designing your own shirt on Teespring, visit <b>http://teespring.com/design</b>. I did! Take a look! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">- <i>You set the price of the apparel and profits are yours.</i> That’s just so wonderful, right? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do you love window shopping? Well, most of the time, I do that. I
love to browse. I do this because I want to be updated with the latest
trends out there. I like to know what's going on in the fashion world.
Anyhow, I love it the most when window shopping turns into just <em>shopping</em>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This time, I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I usually like to explore first. And my exploring landed me to <strong>Terranova</strong>.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong>Terranova</strong> is a clothing brand that is known for its "<em>easy to wear</em>"
products. And I most certainly agree. If you've seen what they can
offer, you'll find a lot of choices that will surely make you feel "<em>free</em>".</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway,
I checked out a lot of their shirts but when I found this one, I really
didn't think twice. I went to their dressing room to try it on and when
I found my size, went to the cashier to pay. Easy peasy. Haha. Take a
look :)</span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After coffee, we went to <strong>Shapes</strong>.
Shapes is a clothing brand in the Philippines. At first, I didn't know
that they also have accessories. But then, I found this....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you probably noticed, owl jewelry is so <em>"in".</em> And from research, it has been since 2009. It has a certain appeal that reaches a lot of fashionistas out there. And me. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">... well, at least it's one of the reasons why. :))</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘<em>fashion</em>’? If you ask me, right away, I think of beautiful and trendy dresses, the runway, What’s ‘<em>IN</em>’
and otherwise, and more. Aside from all of these, I also think of those
accessories that complement whatever outfit you are wearing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love accessories. I really
do. When I was in high school, I would always purchase (and by that, I
meant ask my mom to buy me) cute and really trendy accessories <em>(jewellery/jewelry, purse, sunglasses, etc)</em>
to fit my daily jam. And now that I can buy these things with my own
money, there’s no stopping me at all. The world is definitely a bigger
place for me. Haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, when I discovered <a data-mce-href="http://www.ringsandtings.com/" href="http://www.ringsandtings.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Rings and Tings</strong></a>
online fashion store, I was really happy. This shop has everything!
Bags, shoes, clothing, jewellery, and more. When they sent me some
accessories, I was certainly over the moon. Let’s have a look.</span></div>
