While most of the reviews I read are helpful, many of them are filled with words I’m unable to imagine such as crystal peony or heirloom mahogany or like a walk through spring forest. Not only there is no spring where I am (Malaysia) to start with, I also have a somewhat limited olfactory vocabulary, so it’s a little hard for me to imagine things such as what sugared sandalwood smells like.… Read More Bath & Body Works Candles Review For Dummies: 5 Ultimate Favourites

I’ve been going through a lot lately. These things have made me edgy, stressed, and quick to temper. I realized these so most of the times, I tried to tone them down, but there were once or twice several times that I lost it. However, one of the things that was very obvious was how I didn’t… Read More I Just Don’t
I’ve been toying with the idea of having a separate blog just for cooking for quite some time now. It’s nothing fancy or extraordinary because I don’t want to pretend that I could cook haute cuisines (though, I suppose, I would be making several attempts, hahahah) or daydream about my life being like Hassan Khadam… Read More Cooking’s A Peach!: My First Cooking Blog
I don’t know about you, but I just love chocolate chip cookies. I could really eat them every single day.

The kids have been watching Christmas movies for several days now and we’ve been talking about Christmas for quite a bit. Sophea: Mommy, why our house don’t have a Christmas tree? Me: Because we don’t celebrate Christmas. Sophea: But I like Santa. Me: You don’t have to celebrate Christmas to like Santa. A lot of… Read More Is Santa Real?
I’ve been baking for a few days on end now. First, it was Sophea’s Barbie cake to Damien’s forest-themed cake. It was really fun that I get to bake again after so long. Sure, my piping skills a little rusty, but I’m sure with more practice, it’ll come back again. Ahahaha. I’m considering selling my… Read More Simple Vanilla Cupcakes

I first saw this some time early last year and thought that it’s a terrific idea, especially for a bibliophile like me.
