My Week with Diet Diva

Since late last year, I've been trying to eat better. In my world that means adding vegetables to my diet. After the waste expanding holidays, I knew I needed to go back to my goal. Eating better would mean preparing my meals, which is not my forte. I was thinking of buying groceries and looking for healthier recipes. It felt like a daunting task then I came across Diet Diva.
 

There are several diet delivery services out there for different needs. Cohen, no carbs, specific caloric intake a day – these are some of the programs I saw online. For Diet Diva, they have a 1200 calories/day program for 5 days. Each day consists of 3 meals and 2 snacks for P1900 (plus delivery fee).
 

What sealed the deal for me was the price. For P127/meal, it was affordable. You'd usually spend an average of P120-150 if you buy in a fastfood joint anyway. The price is not bad and you enjoy healthy food. Getting Diet Diva would also give me an idea of recipes I could try in the future.
 

Simple Plastic Container Makeover

This plastic drawer set has been with me since 2004, it looks might good for its age right? Today, I’m showing you a simple way to spruce things up! This DIY project has either my Mom’s idea or my idea. I bought this plastic container for my desk when I had a full time office based job. The container would hold important things like keys and at time money – only a few people knew about its contents. We came up with this execution to prettify my container and hide the contents at the same time.
 

Inspired to party: Ice Cream Sundae Bar

There is a special drawer in my brain where I file ideas for my birthday party. I haven’t celebrated my birthday with a party in a decade because I’ve either always been with my immediate family or traveling. I’ve been doing much of the latter the past few years so once in a while, an idea pops in my head – why not have a party if you’re at home!

Have you ever heard of dry brushing?

Admittedly, I don’t have the best skin in the world. Besides having sensitive skin, I don’t make extra measures to have the softest skin in this side of the world. I sorta have dry skin, the before shot when in those lotion commercials when you draw a line and the line stays.

Pasta Aglio Olio with Tuna and Broccoli

I find myself cooking easy and simple dishes these days because I want to eat better. This is my way of adding more vegetables to my diet. Since I only love broccoli, it’s the star vegetable appearing in the recipes I post on the blog.

I didn’t follow any recipe so the ingredients and directions are estimates depending on your preference. I used penne rigatoni because it’s the noodle we had at home. I think you can make this with whatever noodle you prefer.

Inspired to get organized

I don’t know if I mentioned this on the blog. Hue Love Prints is solely my baby. I spent the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 focusing on it. This is serious – I invested in equipment and crammed them all in our place. My OC parents have been insanely supportive and I am grateful.

My January photos can be summed up in 2 words – food and travel.
