Soapin' some more

Aaaand as promised!~

Oatmeal, Coffee and Milk Soap

The heart-shaped soap in the center is a solid sugar scrub that I made :)

Just bars... I failed because things happened too fast :(

These are the latest batch I made. :) I Tried combining CP soap and MP soap. The round ones were successful but the bars were not. :(

The darker brown color was made using MP soap with coffee scent, olive oil and vitamin E. The lighter brown side is CP soap with powdered milk, olive and sweet almond oil, vitamin E and vanilla and apple scent combo. :)

I sprinkled whole oats so I could call them Skin's Breakfast. hrrrr!~ Can't wait for them to cure... :)

Up next is my Strawberry Lip Balm!~ 

*woot!*

Lalalalalalalala means I love you...

I was invited by a friend of mine to attend a mini gathering at The Fort. It was business related so I couldn't say no. Still, I was a bit hesitant to take my hubby along. He doesn't enjoy seeing me being around with people only I know. It may sound a bit selfish. But I'm good with that. Sometimes, even if it's not good, you get used to it, right? Anyway, we ended up attending the meeting together and I promised him that I'd show him around. It's like a date! ♥ It's been a while since we did something like this. 

A very nice coffee shop within the Burgos Circle, BGC. The UCC Coffee.

Tea for me. Coffee for him. XD

After the business meeting, we went around for a walk. Sorry, I didn't take a lot of photos while we were there. I told you, I am not comfortable doing so. Maybe if have a DSLR, I would. xD I just don't like being stared at while I am taking photos of small things, my food or myself. I'm usually annoyed by this kind of attention. AND people wouldn't mind seeing someone taking snapshots using a DSLR! Can you see the difference? :/ 

We took the Electric Tricycle ride to get to the Market Market. It was fun!~ :)

This is how the Electric Tricycle looks like. 

He's a man of few words. But I can tell that he's delighted by what he saw during our walk. xD

Before heading home, he asked if we can have dinner. He's not hungry but he's craving for something. I just thought that I should really take advantage of the offer because as I've said, this seldom happens. 

It was a short, fun and sweet date. ♥ I know, a lot of new things were learned that day. I leaned how to persuade him to the things I'm inclined to do. While, I know, he learned how to appreciate me more. 

I wish, we could do this more often... ♥

More Caffeine, please?

I wasn't able to post our International Lolita Day meet up happenings on time. *me too lazy?!* Anyway, Jaja was able to tell you about it in her blog. I guess that you already know what really happened that day. Just to recap, the event took place at my favorite coffee shop (that's within the neighborhood), too near for me but really far from most of my guests. But they've managed to arrive safe. All of the girls were in their lovely dresses that stunned my neighbors! @_@ It's the first time they've witnessed such gathering! *cough* Pardon their *cough* ignorance *more cough* 

We're supposed to have a tea party but DANG! Only few of these girls enjoy hot tea. If it's a bubble tea then it'll be okay with them. Too bad, my favorite tea shop is a bit far from here and there's no easy way that all of us could get there since we weren't able to rent a car. I am glad that they all agreed that we do it here in this very nice coffee shop nearby. Also, this is where I used to sit to while away two long, boring hours of my daughter's summer lessons in tennis. Mind you! Their products are low priced but the taste! THE TASTE - isn't cheap! 

Here are some snap shots I took before the event.

Located in front of the village clubhouse. Not really hard to find, eh?

I luuurve to sit here!~ ♥ 

This area is turned into a stage for acoustic nights, usually on weekends.

coffee mug napkin holder and ash tray half filled with ground coffee beans. I can see recycling here!~

*cold choco shake and my fave pepperoni bread stick!*

YUM!~ Sorry! No pics of my fave Iced Cappuccino.. 

Few shots during the event.

Dear Roca during the ILD...

That's Izh and me (I wore my stripey set and oooh! I love it!) and the fan! LOL xDDD

I don't have much photos to share since I was the hostess and am really busy keeping track of the girls who fought hard with the traffic just to make it here. Thanks, by the way! :) 

To wrap it up, the event was successful, fun and really memorable for me! I hope we can do this again soon. Even if it's not ILD, even if it's just an ordinary day, right? :) Who needs an occasion? We can have fun any day, all day long! As long as our pockets permit! Ayt? xDDD 

So here's the last photo, I grabbed from a dear friend.

*heartmelts* ♥

Now, I am aching for a shot of caffeine... Gotta go!~
