The Benefits of Drinking Coffee (Infographic)

Sharing some cuteness on this Friday morning. 

Here's an infographic on the benefits of drinking coffee created by Carla Maglione.

Mornings In My Creative Space

Mornings are when the Hubby usually finds me in my creative space. It is when he finds me typing away on my laptop, doing photography shoots, stamping on my sketchbook or reading a book. I love the morning light and I love to start my day doing something I love.

In my creative space, I'm usually accompanied by a book, camera, crafty things, a notebook or sketchbook, pencils and a cup of coffee. These are a few things that fuel my inspiration. 

Live In The Moment And Be Happy

I've written this affirmation a long time ago and since then, I've made it my manifesto. 

Live in the moment and enjoy being.

"My concept of 'Being' means embracing whatever life brings you...it may be joy, sorrow, pain, hardships---the key is to cherish it (even if its painful) and learn from it. We honor our joy, we might as well honor our pain too. Life is so much sweeter when you know you're able to go thru happy or sad moments with no shortcuts."

- an ibyangism i learned when i moved in Sydney and found out that life is more beautiful when you have gone thru cherished tears.

Last weekend, I got inspired by the Happy Quote Book and decided to make variation of my "Live in the Moment" manifesto.

Live in the moment and be happy. 

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Nutella Pancakes

Hubby is very busy with work that he's been working even on weekends. This morning before left for work, I woke up early and made a special breakfast for him--Nutella Pancakes! 

There's really nothing extraordinary with the pancake batter I made, only that I added two teaspoons of Nutella spread on the batter. It was enough to bring a little hazelnut flavour to the pancake. (If you want it more sweet or hazelnut-ty, add more!). 

I topped it with caramelised apples (cook apples in brown sugar for a minute or two). The apples brought a bit of tartness to the sweet Nutella Pancakes.

If you want to make your pancakes a little more special, you can add spreads (like Peanut Butter, Nutella, Speculoos, strawberry, etc), nuts or cheese (Ricotta Pancakes are yum!) to the pancake batter.

Happy Sunday!
