Reversed Bucket-list
I got this idea from Abbey Sy (@abbeysy) – an artist, author and creative that I’ve been following and has been inspiring me in some ways. She shared on her IG stories that her mentor taught her this idea, so – it’s time to re-create this on my blog too! The idea of having a bucket-list is a way to take initiative on the things you wish to accomplish. While a reversed bucket list allows you to write down the things you’ve already done & accomplished. Things that makes you happy and proud of. Thus, allowing you to appreciate what God has blessed you with. Here’s to celebrating the things…

3 Mindsets All Creatives Must Have
You have it. Yes! You have it! You are destined for greatness and you have the gift that only you have. It’s been one of my favorite quote that “Everyone can be Creative”. You just have to unleash it and be willing to explore different creative pursuits. Eventually you’ll know that you have what it takes and you have a gift from above. Not sharing your gift to the world would also mean that you don’t honor God for your talents. So don’t hide it – be you, be creative! A student of life mindset I’m a Lavendaire fan and Marie Forleo follower and both ladies are a big fan…

Marriage Counseling: Not a Popular Approach but Why Consider it?
Marriage Counseling: Not a Popular Approach but why should you consider it? It’s been almost five years now since the day we exchange vows and life has always been under adjustments based on the new challenges, learnings and discoveries between me and my husband. Recalling the years when I was single, I never thought that God would allow me to meet him away from my own homeland. Oppsss, don’t get me wrong I’m not sharing about our love story, I’m just having that as an intro to another interesting topic of marriage and family life. It is sad that the world nowadays has been totally accepting realities of divorce. “Making…

This Year’s Theme: Keep Creating 2019
2019: New Year’s Battlecry For a while now, I’ve been trying to come up with ideas and concepts for my 2019 theme. ⚡I’ve recently completed Shonda Rhimes’ book – Year of Yes and inspired that I could also have it for 2019, making it as my year of YESes… but a part of me wasn’t that convinced. ⚡Braver2019 also came up as I’m follower of Arriane Serafico of The Purposeful Creative. But the word braver doesn’t really echo in my heart… ⚡Then comes Clarity, Consistency and Authenticity. The triad of values a creative must have! ⚡💫 ✨. Although I want all these 3 words, I am still in search for…

When Self-Love means taking care of our Mental Health
“Self-love is a therapy for mental health.” A pressing topic of the world nowadays is the concern that most people have a hard time figuring out because of how the society seemed to brand it. Many people think that “Self-Love” is being selfish and it caters the “ME, MYSELF & I attitude”. Even though many of us misunderstood Self-Love that way, allow me to straighten up things in this blog. Self-love is defined as a regard to our own wellbeing and happiness. Self-love in this situation (and in this blog post specifically) is SELF-CARE. Remember, self-care is a priority. We need to take care of ourselves first before we can…

Ten (10) Years, 10 Lessons (as an OFW)
Ten (10) Years, 10 Lessons as an OFW Disclaimer: All opinions are personal and I don’t generalize all. It’s what I learned and that I notice them too often that it definitely left a mark into this OFW life. This is my first passport bucketlist ✓: To have my first passport stamped before it expires. lol 🤣🤣🤣 So, I took my passport in 2005 without any intention of an international travel… only to have one solid ID on my belt whenever a government company would require. But at the back on my mind, I told myself – I want it stamped before it expires. Bucket-list checked! ✓ This is another post…
