Giveaways

Breakfast and a giveaway!

I am a breakfast person. Well some times 🙂 But when I am in a good mood for a tasty breakfast, I usually just go with simplicious. Yes, a simple and delicious breakfast combo.

Simple = A bagel or bread.

Delicious = Almond or peanut butter.

A side serving of fruits and coffee/tea of course.

What is your favorite breakfast combo?

I love Naturally Nutty products. Sometimes we misjudge how tasty organic foods can be. I thought the same when I received my order a few weeks ago. After a bite, I knew that every spoonful of deliciousness is packed with organic hemp and flax seeds. I am so hooked into Vanilla Almond Butter. My favorite thus far 🙂 This is my first almond butter taste test, and I am never looking back.

Hubby, if you are reading this – we need to keep a separate budget for these nut butters 🙂

I wrote an appreciation email to Katie, founder and president of Naturally Nutty Food Inc and raved about her delicious and wholesome creations. Katie is so happy that we are enjoying her goodies so much, she has given me an opportunity to work along side with her to organize a giveaway in loving memory of her father-in-law, who recently passed away.

Katie would like to send 2 of my readers a jar of her famous nut butter (your choice of flavor). In return I want you my dear readers, to please share in the comment section below, something memorable, special, touching, funny etc about your own dad or father figure. The comment on this post will close on Thursday Oct 28th midnight, and I’ll announce the 2 lucky winners on Friday, Oct 29th.

I would begin the giveaway by sharing something memorable about my dear Uncle Jas. Lovely happy memories whilst growing up in a joint family. We were always given lunch without pocket money. Tough economy. My Uncle Jas was a thrift with his money and never failed to teach us the value of savings. So much so, that he would even save a few cents worth by skipping his tea break. Many times he would dig into his savings to buy us all ice creams that would cost more than his cup of tea. He’s my hero, in the financial world. Thanks Uncle Jas, I am officially a thrift as well 😀

We are so sorry for your loss Katie & family, and truly grateful for the opportunity to honor in loving memory of your father-in-law. May he rests in peace.

Comment away everyone, and good luck!

Design-o-philic

My brain has been so idle. Been entertaining so many guests lately. Endless round trips to Disney theme parks & shopping. It’s ME time now and a breather 🙂 I’ve been busy tweaking my blog design whenever time permits. And of course, if you are following my tweets, you’d notice the changing themes on my twitter background as well. Presently, I’m a design geek.

Many of my blog friends are on blog “vacation” as well. Miss their rantings. My writing adventures are also stand still at the moment. I would regroup once I’m done with understanding the CSS coding and structuring. I told ya. I’m in a geeky mode 😀

Over and out.

If you want me to design a new header or customize twitter background, give a shout-out in the comment box below. This is a personal initiative/project in order to document my designing adventures. And kill some time. After all, a homemaker job is not a real one.

Broadway's Spring Awakening tour!

Winner of 8 Tony awards, Spring Awakening is in town people! An adaptation of the controversial 1891 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind, Spring Awakening raises awareness about teen pregnancy, teen suicide, and better communication between parents and teens.

SPRING AWAKENING celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget. We agree with The New York Times “Broadway may never be the same again!”

Natural Beauty

Now, I know the title sounds cliche’. But aren’t we all beautiful from the inside, as well as out? Honestly, how many times have you tried scouring through the Net for different reviews, opinions, samples, trials and out-of-pocket expense to find the “right” beauty product? And how satisfied are you with the results?

I have been using The Body Shop (TBS) products for many years now. Nothing is more refreshing than caring for your skin with nature’s made products. With botanicals as one of nature’s ingredients, my sensitive skin have finally found it’s match made in heaven. Let’s leave the product reviews for some other day, shall we? Anyways, many beauty bloggers from around the world actively promotes natural beauty that embodies kindness to nature’s creature, environment and encouraging self-esteem, from inside-out. TBS sees the importance in recognizing Natural Beauty Bloggers initiatives that echo’s natural beauty and environmentally product messages when discussing with their readers. It’s the Emmy’s you guys. For you Natural Beauty Bloggers out there.

What are you waiting for? Encourage one another, vote, support and spread the true meaning of “natural beauty”. I love anything and everything made with nature’s love, without any harm to creatures and the environment. Most importantly, made without harmful effects to our skin.
