Why I'm Doing Yoga

via

I was complaining to my husband for a couple of days of a reoccurring back pain. My husband told me that if I want to have a healthy life I need to exercise. The last time I joined him for a jog I almost fainted after two rounds. This aching back made me realize that if I want to see my future kids grow up all the way through until they start having their own family I need to have a strong body to live long enough for them. After much researching I think I want to do a yoga exercise. I found a few beginner yoga poses to try in the internet and decided to give it a try. After a few minutes stretching and doing the poses I was relieved the pain was no longer bothering me. I've been doing yoga for four days now and I never felt better. To motivate me to do it everyday I think of the long term benefits of doing yoga which is more years to spend with my husband and future children.

Loving Gingersnaps

I was at a mall looking for gifts for my three godchildren and came across Gingersnaps. What made me take a look inside the boutique was actually their cute window display. I had a hard time choosing. All were pretty, the fabric, the designs, the colors.

My godchild wearing gingersnaps dress i gave.Her mom told me this is one of her favorite.

My godchild was giddy and immediately wore the dress.

For Christmas, this will be my go to place shopping for my seven godchildren. Here are a few of my favorites.

Thankful For Being Alive

A7.1 magnitude earthquake hit our region last Oct. 15. I was sleeping when it happened. My husband and I ran as fast as we could to go outside our rented house. I was so afraid and shocked. It was a traumatic experience and we were not sleeping well for days especially during night time due to the strong aftershocks. I fear that our house would collapse on us. Thankfully there were only a few cracks on the surface unlike those of living in Bohol (the epicenter of the earthquake) wherein houses, roads, ,bridges and historical churches were totally destroyed, and many died. It was heartbreaking. 

We are  doing okay now but our people especially in Bohol are in need of help.  Various organizations are doing a lot to help our people. If you want to help please click here a  complied information on how to help

I  thank God that my husband and I are safe and still have a roof over our heads to sleep well and have something to eat. Everyday that we are alive is a gift and should be live to the fullest.

{DIY} Paper Fans

Can't believe Christmas is fast approaching already! Days are flying by. Today, I want to share how to make paper fans and use them in wrapping gifts. You only need art paper/s, scissors and glue.

Instructions

1. Fold the paper in half. 
2. Cut the folded paper.
3. Fold it again in half. And then cut the folded paper. 
4. Make an accordion fold. Then fold it in half.
5. Glue them together. I used hot glue because it will hold them together best.

Have fun!
