Photoblog: Khay's Desserts and Cafe

Here are some photos during our visit at Khay's Desserts and Cafe. I don't have a lot of words for this post -- just yummy food and drinks. :) Perfect with kikay friends and kids.

This is the Salty Albert (top left), Strawberry Shortcake (top right), and the Choco Loco (bottom center)

From another baker's perspective, all these cupcakes are nice and moist and the sweetness is just right. Love 'em! :)

Green Tea Frappe

Hazelnut Mocha

Iced Caramel Machiatto

I also liked the cute interior and the nice plates and tiny fork for the cupcakes. :)

Anti Gravity Yoga at Beyond Yoga Alabang

My high school best buddies and I just got together because of my upcoming wedding. Of course, they are my bridesmaids. Even though we rarely see each other, we are so glad to catch up and we really resent that we are too busy to see each other for quite a long time. 

Little did we know that we will be seeing each other a little too often because of one thing we all enjoy doing -- YOGA! And to make it more exciting, we tried the Anti-Gravity Yoga at Beyond Yoga in West Gate Alabang. 

It was such a great experience!

The very first session we had was quite too easy for us (haha! yabang!) but that's only because the instructor had to run through the whole fundamentals with us. We ended up wanting a little bit more physical activity. 

Day 2 was more of a challenge! More inversions! And all of those inversions really challenged the core. I believe I will be rocking some beautiful abs if I can continue to do this. haha!

We were so tired afterwards and we did not expect that. So, I guess we had a great work out. 

We Like:

• The changing rooms and shower are well maintained and clean.
• The instructors are so friendly
• The receptionist will answer all your queries.
• They allow you to stay a little longer after the session so you can either take pictures or practice some more the new moves and poses you just learned

Loom Band Hack No.1

DIY Loom Bands Organizer

As the Loom Bands Craze becomes ever so evident in our everyday life, you can easily find a tutorial or two on how certain types of bracelets, charms, and other patterns are made. It is quite amazing how a lot of stuff can be created out of rubber bands. 

So in this segment "Loom Band Hack", I will be sharing some stuff that you may or may not know that can be applied to making and organizing loom bands or anything related to it.

Let us start with organizing your loom band set. You often see a lot of organizers for sale. Those are nice but it only holds a small number of rubber bands in each slot. When you buy rubber bands, they usually come in 600 pcs packs. And although, you can keep the rest of it in the plastic container it came with, it would also be nice to have bigger containers for when you are making them at home or if you haven't bought the organizer.

It is basically a container divided into two parts so you can put two different colors of rubber bands in it.

What we will need for the organizer are the following:

1 round microwavable container

used folder

scissors

ruler

scratch  paper

Once everything is ready, we can now proceed with the following step by step process:

Procedure:

1. Cut a circle out of the scratch paper the same size as the bottom of the container. You want to trace the edges of the bottom of the container on the paper to do this.

2. Next, measure the height and width of the mouth of the container.





3. Draw a rectangle based on the measurements in number 2 on the scratch paper.



4. Find the bottom center.



5. Get your round scratch paper, fold in half and find the center as seen below.





6. Put a bit of tape or adhesive on one side of the round, folder paper and stick it on the rectangle drawing, making sure that the centers are aligned.





7. Draw a line connecting the ends of the half circle and the top corners of the rectangle and cut the rectangle out.





8. When you unfold the circle paper, it should look like this. And now you can have a patter for the divider.



9. Trace your pattern over the folder and cut it out.





10. You should come up with this. Fold the round part as seen below.



12. And now you have a divider! :)



Put it in the container and fill it up with different color bands.

Here is mine:







I hope you enjoyed this hack!
