charmed life♥

I know every fur parents will relate... some may think it's crazy but I don't really care.  It's my first time to be a fur mum, and I realized that I should've adopted a dog before.  But maybe it's destiny too, because Mochi came into my life in the time of the pandemic.  Mochi gave me and my family unconditional love, that really goes straight to our hearts.  Last August 15, our little Mochi turned 1 year old. In line with his celebration I hosted Mochi's first barkday giveaway on his Instagram account @everydaywithmochi.  It was just a small giveaway because it's a double celebration - aside from turning one year old, he reached 1,000 followers.  Actually he has more followers than me haha.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank his generous sponsors : @kre8tive_bunch , @fabulouschqpets and @resinshineph. I ordered Mochi's cake from Barkin' Blends and additional numnums. We shared some of his cakes and numnums to our other 2 doggies (aspin

sourc: Japan Home Centre As promised here is the part 2 of the new items of Hello Kitty at Japan Home Centre:  these includes water jugs or carafes, pitchers, jars, organizing trays, crates and etc.  What I love about their new items - is that I can really use them at home.   Can you just imagine opening your fridge and finding these cuties inside.  Got these carafes the moment I saw them.  All are made of glass so you can fill these bottles with your favorite beverages. source: Japan Home Centre Aside from the water jugs there are also pitchers available.  I know I can't buy everything so I really chose what I really wanted.  And honestly, it's really hard because all of them are beautiful in my eyes.  For the pitcher I got this one.  It's similar to the ones we have in the house.  Because of it's slim body it will not take so much space in the refrigerator or our kitchen cabinet. source: Japan Home Centre There are also a wide range of jars available.  I bought a coup

I can still remember when I first opened my online boutique in Multiply, it was August 5, 2011.  When according to Chinese Feng shui, August is a ghost month and you should not open or start a business.  I was not into Feng shui that time but a few years after I checked that the ghost month in 2011 started on the 14th.  But I guess the stars lined up (for me) and through the graces and blessings from God... my business is still here. I thought that the closure of Multiply site is the end of that, but fortunately I was able to open a page on Facebook then later on I created an account on Instagram and continued what I have started.   Having a business is a walk in the park... I started making handmade accessories, headbands and then tried retailing (upon request of my clients/customers).  I source my items abroad, I pack and ship them myself, in short I am a one man band... But complaining is not in my vocabulary because I love what I'm doing.  I grew up with my grandparents who hav
