NYE Party Style and Ideas if you will be hosting it this year to make your guests entertained and happy welcoming the New Year. Since we have so many friends, we always rotate on who is going to host . This year I will be hosting the NYE party with my friends. I want it to be memorable to welcome 2020! This is also Andi’s first New Year Eve celebration.
I have kids and teens to entertain and I am thinking of giving them Game night. We already have these and they are proven fun, the Quick cups, if you have been watching my instatories on Christmas day. It was really fun! Uno cards are always a good idea, this is actually for all ages.
For the Adults… I always have the cocktail mixes and my friend Jovania visit here blog here for healthy recipe.
I will be hosting all Filipino so ofcourse I have the Karaoke machine and all Filipino food and last but not the least. Our tradition of taking pictures per family and this Party kit backdrop is always a hit.
I hope I was able to give some inspirations to you all. Check out my post on NYE glam outfits here.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!!! Sharing all our yearly Family Christmas photos since I started blogging in 2015. Thank you all for you support and for being a part of my blogging family. Cheers to all of us and to the coming New Year!
We are a few days away before Christmas and New Year. So I am sharing all this Glam outfits for New Year’s Eve here. I have shown you three different outfit ideas here to help you with party looks.
These styles will surely make your New Year start with glam. The Jumpsuit among all of these is my favorite. I am a sucker for jumpsuits even though it is a chore when you need to use the restroom. The details on this jumpsuit is so pretty specially the sleeves and is also very comfy for Winter.
The second look is the sequin dress. This is another very easy style for all the ladies that loves to wear dress like me. You are one and done as I always say. I am wearing a pretty generic shoes on all of them which is my go to the ankle strap shoes. I believe every lady should own a pair in different color like black and beige. You can always pair them with everything!
Last but not the least, to a more chic and casual style is this sequin top. I just threw in a pair of black jeans and the ankle strap heels and viola! I am party ready. This is for all the ladies who doesn’t like dress and jumpsuits that much. Check out below for other sequin top options.
As for Christmas outfits… in case you missed the post check this and this out for inspiration.

Why did I call this our First Christmas Card? Every year since I started blogging. It became a tradition that we dress up and we pick a spot in the house for photo shoot. But I never make it into a Christmas card. It has always been a digital copy only that I use on my personal Facebook to greet our family and friends. This year , since we are now a family of 5 plus Mojo our dog so 6. I decided we can do this every year then.
I wanted to post the picture of the finish product of the Christmas card but it did not arrive on the expected delivery date. It actually got shipped on the supposed to be date of delivery. So I will update this post once I receive them so I can show them all to you.
As for the theme, I just thought of a plaid party for us since all my kids already own it. My husband and I plus my in laws just went to the thrift store and got ours from there.
Also, I though about Adi and I wearing cowboy boots and since we have this cabin like part of the house. I set it up like this so it will be more looking like our theme. Kinda like a farm house and I just added all these Christmas decorations like the Little Christmas tree, galvanized buckets.
How about you? Do you always do Christmas cards or no? Do you have any family traditions that you do every year? Also in case you did not see the last year’s family photo… it is here.
Thank you so much and y’all have a wonderful week ahead.
Simply,

I have been getting a lot of messages saying I already bounced back. To tell you all the truth, It may look it but I am still a work in progress. I still cannot fit my wedding ring, I still have the mommy tummy lose skin, this leggings is just so helpful hiding it here very well.
The reason I wanna talk about this is that, I want you all to know first we are all beautiful in any size and shape. We all wanna look good and feel better, and making sure we doing it for our self and then for others (my kids and family) They all depend on us and if we are not healthy how can we give them all.
And then I got pregnant, I started healthy and lost it on my 3 months before giving. My OB GYN kept on telling me that my baby is smaller than my other 2 babies and then I got scared so I thought if I eat more and also a lot of sweets and I literally ate everything. So fast forward 3 months postpartum. I went for my annual primary care check up. Then we found out that my cholesterol is slightly elevated. She recommended low fat diet and exercise, then it got to me that I really need to work on my health and get it back.
That being said I am really working on getting at least 3 times a week. It is really a struggle even though we have help I still fall short sometimes. I also working on meal prepping so I already have my food prepared which makes it even easier. We just lost my father last year because of heart attack and that made me think I really need to work on my health to be able to spend more time with family.
I started my fitness journey when I got introduced with Body boss method when I partnered with them, And ever since then I started working on it and I feel the best having all the energy to be able to play with the kids. Not just then they launched their meal plan.
I got into a good habit after that and now I just have to get it back. Even better this time. My husband and I are helping each other so we can get to workout. I am not really a morning person so I workout when I get home. My husband will watch Andi so I can workout and the we switch so he can also work out. Luckily if she is sleep then both of us can workout together then Adi and Aidan will also go to the gym.
We are lucky to have a home gym. The previous owner added this extension at the back of the house and left us with all their strengthening machine. We just added the threadmill and elliptical, TV for Zumba and the punching bag.
I have not gotten back to my pre pregnancy weight but I am feeling stronger and energetic. I am slowly getting it back and that really makes me feel good.
I hope I was able to inspire you all specially the mamas out there that working out is not just vanity. It is really a good lifestyle than you can give to yourself and your family.
Thank you all for stopping by and see you again on the next blog post.
Hooded Long Puffer Jacket for the upcoming Winter weather. Mixing comfort and style at the same time to up level your Winter style. This style is very practical and looks good on every outfit you have. It can be worn as well when you are wearing you Holiday party style dresses here. This will actually give you a good coverage when you are wearing a dress, it’ll make you feel warm.
This jacket is an investment piece for your Winter wardrobe. You can never go wrong with this style. For those of you who have brutal Winter weather, ya’ll know what I am talking about here. Sometimes it is not just cold but the wind can make it even worse and this can serve as a windbreaker as well. It already has a hood so no need to have a beanie. Unless you don’t want to wear the hood then you can add a beanie to add style to this effect.
I wore this over the super cozy sweater that is worth every buck! It goes well with the combat boots that are on trend right now. If you are looking for one, this boots is perfect! I have been wearing it so often and it also feels good on your feet, so comfy! I can already imagine myself wearing this if I will be walking Mojo at the dog park but not. My Father in law is actually in charge of walking him 🙂
I hope I was able to give good insight about investing in a long puffer jacket. Check out also this blog post about other winter Coats.
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week ahead.
We all wanna look extra special on Christmas day right? But not all of us wants to dress up either, specially if we are not really doing the glam party. So I created this post to give some inspiration to all of you who are looking for something fun to wear on your Christmas party that are more on the casual side.
These sweater are not ugly sweaters! They are actually pretty cute and can be worn even after the Holidays. These sweaters are so fun and can be paired with over the knee boots, combat boots, booties and any other shoes that you fancy wearing. It can also be paired with a cute skirt, jeans, overalls and the likes. There are a lot of styles you can create around these sweaters.
I hope I was able to give some fun ideas for you guys! Also these items are priced right for the budget as well. In case you missed my last post about DIY ornaments, here it is…
Thank you for stopping by and wishing you all a lovely weekend.
DIY Personalized Christmas Ornaments so you can feel that you are really at home with your loved ones during this Holiday season. So I got this flocked Pre-lit Christmas tree at Walmart last year and I am loving it so much. Easy to install and plus it already has a light. I just added some ornaments and this plaid ribbon and viola we are done.
The only thing about the flocked Christmas tree are the white “snow” that falls down. I was full of it when I was installing this but look how beautiful it came out. So to add our personal touched, I thought of taking pictures using our polaroid camera and it really was a joyful feeling. This is baby Andi’s first Christmas and we want it to be very special.
And if you decide to do this as well. Then you will feel your personal connection with your Christmas decor because you know it is yours. You can also just print some of your precious moments from your camera too and you can add ribbons if you like.
I hope I was able to give some good example on this post for you. Also if you missed the last post on deals and other gift guide to feel the bottom of your Christmas tree here it is.
Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again soon.
