KIEHL'S for my Feet!!

My heels are suffering dryness and cracks. I've tried putting Petroleum Jelly on them and wearing socks when I sleep. But I remove them because in the middle of the night, my feet feels cold. So I scrapped that. Next, I tried putting lotion on my heels. Yes, the do their job - but after a few hours - they crack up and become dry again. And last night, I had a brilliant idea. I was lookng through my drawer and found some old stash (1 Pot) Keihl's Lip Balm #1, it was quite old because the label was already different compared to the ones that I have now. I assume that since I can use Petroleum Jelly, I can also use this too! So I decided to make a go of my plan.

I LOVE KIEHL'S LIP BALM #1, I truly adore it! When people ask me what lip balm I use, I automatically say Kiehl's! This brand was introduced to me by my good friend Kym, she gifted us with 1 pot each for Chirstmas last 1998, and since then - my bag ALWAYS has a tube or a pot. I tell people that this is THE best lip balm ever! I think it's waaaaaaay better than Carmex. It also doubles as a lip gloss, if you're not into lipsticks - this is THE product. :) It makes your lips soft and doubles as a gloss. What I love about Kiehl's is that when you have dry patches in your lips, after a few minutes of applying the lip balm - you can literally wipe away the dry excess (lip) skin. It makes your lips smooth and the lovely natural color shines through!

And so I got myself some Saran wrap from the kitchen, I figured - I wouldn't want to damage my socks with the oil/petroleum. So I proceeded to put the lip balm on my heels. Then wrapped my heel with Saran wrap before putting on my socks. And this morning when I woke up, I took off my socks and then cut off the Saran wrap - my heels were super soft and the dry patches were all gone!! Wow right? My heels looked brand new, as if I never had cracks in them!

Thank you Kiehl's!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
