Make Homemade Lip Balm & Gingersnaps
This holiday season, I decided to make homemade lip balm & gingersnaps as part of my presents for my friends and family.
For the lip balm, I found this super easy recipe using only real food ingredients and Rene created some super cute labels for them.
As for the gingersnaps, I never liked them till I…
Admit to a Kitchen Blunder and ER Visit
(NOTE: If you get squeamish about injuries, please stop reading. It’s really not a hugely bad injury and there won’t be anything graphic about it here, but if stuff like this puts you off, you best stop reading now!) Just earlier this week, I was excited to use the new mandoline that Rene and I…
Make Holiday Crispy Nuts
This holiday season, I decided to make homemade gifts for my close family and friends. Since I have been recently slammed with a lot of work, it had to be a quick and easy gift to make. I decided upon making some holiday crispy nuts, as I have mastered making regular crispy nuts and the…

However, I’ve recently been very drawn to a classic piece of art and I wanted to take a short moment to write about this beautiful painting…
Attend a Wake

Until just this past week, I’d only ever been to one funeral in my life. It was for my grandfather, and I was about 3 or 4 years old at the time. I don’t recall much from that experience, except that I had to wear all white (the tradition of Chinese funerals), and I had…
Accept That My Boyfriend is Simply Happier When the A/C is On Full Blast
Posted in Nurture
Rene and I have been having some great difficulty in figuring out the right temperature for our household. Rene enjoys inhabiting a house that is cold, I think he’s not comfortable till the temperature is well under 70 degrees. And for me, I like it warmer, anything around 73 degrees or higher makes me a…
Walk an Elderly Lady Across the Street
Posted in Nurture, Refinement
It’s kind of fitting for this to be my first documented goal, because for as long as I can recall, I have had an illogical fear of the elderly. I think the fear has to do with how I feel most elderly seem incapable of doing simple tasks, like walking across the street, and I…
