Plastic Straw Alternatives in Manila

Cause

I did it at last. Late last year I finally bought a metal straw for myself. This is a BIG DEAL because not all plastic straws can be recycled. Feel like your trash doesn’t make a difference in the world? I was shocked to find out that our tiny country is the THIRD biggest contributor of plastic in the ocean IN THE WORLD. This is alarming! Millions of straws are used every year and dumped in the ocean and for what, 5 minutes of convenience? C’mon people, we need to be better than this. Using a metal straw is a SIMPLE way to be part of the solution.

Print on Print Gift Wrapping

Christmas Gift Ideas

Last June, I was busy designing for Hue Love Prints. Coupled with a rather light work load, this phase triggered a more abundant flow of creative juices than normal. For my sister’s birthday this year, I decided to wrap her gift in a more interesting way than normal – I used 2 gift wrappers with different patterns to change things up.

Christmas Give List: Annette’s Homemade Cakes and Cookies

Christmas Gift Ideas

I was lucky to grow up around good food because of both sides of the family. My ninang (god mother) Tita Anet, my Mom’s best friend, is a baker. Even before all these home bakers emerged in the market, she was doing it already. It has been a Christmas tradition in our family to have her baked treats whenever the season arrives since my Mom orders for the house and as Christmas gifts. It has been such a tradition that when my Mom gives something else, people look for Tita Anet’s products instead. Haha

From our Christmas table to yours! If you’re still looking for lip smacking, tradition starting sweets to give this Christmas, Annette’s Homemade Cakes and Cookies is exactly what you need.
