Raket!

In the Philippines, anything you do for extra source of income is called "raket". For me, I am using my love for baking as a raket. I bake goods that I can sell for a profit.  This week I am making cream puffs. =)

While it is important to have a regular job that will provide you with a steady income, it is good to also have a source of extra income. It is up to you whether you want to use it for your expenses or save it for  your future.

The best raket you can have is the one that you enjoy the most as it is more of a hobby rather than additional "work". Isn't it nice to earn not just pleasure but real money doing something you love?

Here are some photos I took while baking =)

High Buns for Busy Days

On hectic days, a handy dandy hair scrunchy is a good way to keep your hair tamed and away from your face as you work. A simple high bun is what I would usually do. But that's a little boring. If you have a few minutes to make it a little bit more exciting, here are some ideas that might inspire you.
