The Unpalatable Truth of Being a Mom in Her 40's

The internet and social media platforms have become a pool for motherhood being glorified and somehow filtered.  Rarely would a mom post about some bad moments or hard-knocked issues involving their kids, mostly about the gray areas of their marriage actually.  But who are we to judge.

A First Try of Vegan Ice Cream from Adams Ice Cream + Liqmystick

As the demand for nondairy explodes, so does the number of products on the market, including a slew of brand-new nondairy ice creams, yogurts, and cheeses, along with the various nut and plant milks used to make them. And even better, many of these new products actually taste great, which is a boon whether you strictly avoid dairy at all costs, or just want to expand your creamy horizons.

My taste buds are always up for a challenge, so, when someone pops the question up whether be it on FB or Instagram private messaging if I would want to try an organic ice cream and ice pop, plus some unique flavored ones, why would I say no?

Resorts World Manila's Love Dish

I'm really not into celebrities, of course, I would watch them whenever I could, but unlike the others who fall under their fandom or go head over heels when I see them.  There are however some who I'd tell can be inspiring, but none can truly make an impact in my life as compared to the chefs I admire and look up to. There is however so many things to love them for.

A First Look at Rolls Republic's #SpeedyRollsFestival

You may have not known this but, I do have a love affair with my bed on Sundays, thus, waking up early isn't on the day's list of "To-do."

Please, let's not be too quick to judge, coz I'm a Christian too, but I'm sure the Lord does not mind coming to church on an afternoon service.  Like many parents, my husband and I wake up early every day to take care of the kids as they go to school, then gardening and household chores begin when they leave.  Then, I'm one headless chicken running around the house to do as many chores I could while planning for my blog posts.

Going back to my Sunday morning routine, I would like to make way for this particular Sunday when my husband and I drove on a Sunday morning to check out the Rolls Republic which is located at Avenue of Arts Building, a little over at Roxas Boulevard.

“Meat” Your Spicy Barbecued-Dream-Come-True: Racks Launches Smoked Chipotle Ribs

Think rich, dark-glazed, smoky ribs—the kind of dish that you don’t mind getting messy for. And when one thinks of ribs here in Manila, there is just one place that comes to mind: Racks.

You see, they aren’t called the #BestRibsinTown for no reason. With their reliable heavy slabs that are sure to satisfy, Racks is known for their classic formula—the same one they’ve been using since 1992.  While they have a much-loved hit on their hands, they sure don’t mind flipping the script and trying something new, well, I don't blame them, and I don't mind either to try out what else is left on their sleeves.

Cha Cha's Beach Cafe, A Different Kind of Food Vibe in Boracay

Boracay Island had always been a dreamy escape, and I'm sure many would attest to that.  Without a doubt, beachcombers take Boracay as a place of many interests, including food escapades. 

For sure, nothing competes for a beach vibe without having the famous mango shake, or the infamous calamansi muffin and a copious serving of seafood, of course.
