<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do-It-Yourself projects are something our family is quite passionate about. Have you heard of the saying "When you want something done right, do it yourself."? It is true but in our case it's more of us having fun crafting and being hands on with activities we can do with the kids which they can learn from while saving money. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Working with my hands is a joy. Being able to create something from scratch using different materials is fascinating and truly fulfilling, that's why I enjoy creative projects that involve cutting, coloring, scoring, folding, sticking, and drawing. Handmade items gives that personal touch that you can't really get from ready-made store-bought products like greeting cards and party decors. That's why I encourage Miss Artsy (and in the future, the rest of our kids) to fashion her own from scratch. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Check out a very useful craft tool that we recently added to our arsenal, the We R Memory Keepers Mini Alphabet Punch Board. It comes brand new and sealed, like this:</div>

<br /></div>

The set comes with the punch board, a small cutting blade and a manual which serves as a guide on how to cut and punch out letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation marks. </div>

The punch and cut system of this tool isn't that hard to figure out, if my 11-year-old can do it, so can we! Just follow the instructions provided in the manual and you'll be fine. You can create cute 1.5 x 2.5 inch letters and numbers with this punch board, as you can see in the photo below (not bad for our first try using it). I love the fact that we have 2 fonts to choose from! How cool is that, huh?! 
With this awesome tool, you can customize layouts, cards, banners, 
notebooks, school projects and more. The possibilities are endless with this one! I already have tons of ideas for making study materials for homeschool using this mini alphabet punch board.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I've also read somewhere that you can create a heart garland using this very craft tool but haven't tried it myself. I'll find out one of these days, maybe just in time for the season of hearts next month!<br />
<br />
The punch board is light & compact, ideal to carry with you for planner meet ups and craft parties. The removable sharp blade is something to worry about though, when you have kids running about. Just don't leave it lying around unattended and make sure to keep it out of their reach. <br />
<br />
The We R Memory Keepers Mini Alphabet Punch Board is a great tool for crafters, I highly recommend it! Saving up for the regular size one! I definitely stretched my peso from getting this for us!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This particular article featuring <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Wednesday's Bakery</b></span>, I admit, has been long overdue. I just didn't want to seem biased with the review I was going to write considering the fact that I know the owner/baker on a personal level, since high school to be exact. After the recent party we had last month, where the said bakery took on the role as our cake and cupcake supplier, I realized that it is indeed high time I blogged about them after 7 wonderful parties we've had with their help. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ms. Bing, the owner, is actually my older sister's classmate, and we were schoolmates until they graduated. Back then she was already passionate about baking and showed promising skills at her chosen craft. I remember my sister was one of her fans and would take home some of the baked goodies she purchased from Bing and wouldn't even share! I had to resort to sneakily getting a chocolate eclair from the fridge when she wasn't looking and would die before admitting that I devoured one when she realized some were missing from the box haha. Fast forward to more than a decade later, I was delighted to find out that Bing started her own bakery. It was a no-brainer for me that we'd be acquiring her services when desserts come to mind because I already knew firsthand that she had the gift for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the years whenever we had time and the funds to throw a party for our kids, may it be big or small, we always make it a point to have a cake or cupcakes (eclairs on the side for me) from <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Wednesday's Bakery</b></span> by Ms. Bernadette "Bing" Carlos. Take a look at these:</div>

This was back in 2013, for the 1st birthday of our son combined with their double dedication, our eldest's and his.

These were for our eldest's 10th birthday which we did at home in 2015, the red velvet cupcake with classic cream cheese frosting was a crowd favorite. The chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganache frosting on the otherhand is a party staple for our family because we're certified chocoholics!</div>

Now these are the Camping theme-inspired cakes and cupcakes I requested Ms. Bing to make for our youngest son's 1st and Little Miss Banshee's 3rd birthdays last December. I love how the chocolate cupcake with torched marshmallow frosting turned out. Both the cakes and cupcakes blended in well with the overall look of the party and tasted sublime. Hats off to Bing for granting our special request, she indeed delivered on all accounts!</div>

How To Spot Authentic Himalayan Pink Salt Lamps

January 10, 2017 Anne V 3

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeSL6qfRCfvRpOGGDuxd28JMwTHzBQFC7PPGhC_qzrHu2DE1A-L9icvrtZW4yz2qHHSJ2Jt40unYr69A6svXk5SlrorLYEM6jTnLjrODG8GEE9b9zLr-hqii_MuQ7tar-UT9KANNLSWsB/s1600/Authentic+vs+Fake+Himalayan+Salt+Lamp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeSL6qfRCfvRpOGGDuxd28JMwTHzBQFC7PPGhC_qzrHu2DE1A-L9icvrtZW4yz2qHHSJ2Jt40unYr69A6svXk5SlrorLYEM6jTnLjrODG8GEE9b9zLr-hqii_MuQ7tar-UT9KANNLSWsB/s400/Authentic+vs+Fake+Himalayan+Salt+Lamp.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This article was inspired by one of our amazing readers who asked about the authenticity of the Himalayan Salt Lamps we got over the recent holidays. There are a lot of fake ones that have been popping out here and there, so her concern is quite reasonable. Every single time a product starts to rise in popularity, counterfeits come out next and we can't stop it. The demand becomes so high once people realized the health benefits of owning a Himalayan Salt Lamp that it created the perfect opportunity for some people to profit from it by selling cheaply made salt lamp phonies. So the best we can do is be alert and aware of how to recognize the genuine ones from the fake so we won't become victims to forgeries. While 
it may not always be so obvious, there are a couple of easy ways to tell if your 
Himalayan salt lamp is a fake or the real deal.</div>
<br />
Here's what you should be looking for when purchasing a Himalayan Salt Lamp:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Price Range</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Too cheap it makes one uneasy, especially the white crystal variety which is the rarest and has the highest price tag. A 4kg sized Himalayan salt lamp costs around 1.6-1.8k pesos, this is based on different suppliers that I have found online when I was still canvasing (all had glowing feedback from past clients by the way). Authentic Himalayan Pink Salt Lamps won't cost next to nothing.<br />
<br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>Moisture</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Himalayan pink salt lamps cleanse the air a room by absorbing 
moisture and any attached airborne material then evaporating pure 
water back out. This process is called 
hygroscopy and is responsible for one of the most common problems 
genuine Himalayan pink salt lamps have – sweating which leads to shrinking. <br />
<br />
You can test your lamp by taking a damp cloth and gently rubbing the surface of the 
lamp. The part of the cloth you’ve rubbed with should have noticeable 
discoloration and the lamp should look like it’s sweating.<br />
<br />
Genuine Himalayan salt manufacturers recommend that their products be placed in a cool, dry area. That’s because the salt will absorb any moisture around it and begin to shrink. So, if it doesn't sweat, it's probably fake.<br />
<br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>Soft Uneven Glow</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Himalayan salt crystals typically range in color from medium pink to 
dark orange. Also, because the salt is full of various different 
minerals, light emanating from the lamp is muted and uneven. For 
these reasons, the average salt lamp emits only a soft warm glow, that’s just the nature of genuine Himalayan salt. If 
your lamp gives off enough light to fully illuminate the 
room that it is placed in, this is a fairly good sign that your 
Himalayan salt lamp is made from something other than real salt. <br />
<br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>Experience Health Benefits</b><br /><br />All of your life’s problems are not going to be solved by a Himalayan 
salt lamp. But after a couple weeks of using one in your home, you 
should notice a few things, including:<br /><br /><ul>
<li>Reduced allergy or asthma symptoms</li>
<li>Cleaner smelling, fresher air in the room</li>
<li>You can breathe better</li>
<li>Increased energy levels</li>
<li>Better sleep</li>
<li>Improved depression</li>
<li>Reduced stress</li>
</ul>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Miners of Himalayan salt are among the happiest people in the world, they rarely suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory 
ailments. This is because they spend their days in an environment 
saturated with negative ions, which Himalayan Salt 
releases naturally. The air we breathe every day is filled with negative
 and positive ions and, in order to maintain a healthy living 
atmosphere, these negative and positive ions must remain in balance. 
Unfortunately, many of the conveniences of modern living, such as our 
wireless electronic devices and heating and cooling systems, produce a huge amount
 of positive ions which throw the air we breathe completely out of 
balance. That, in turn, can contribute to the development of allergies, 
asthma, stress, insomnia and other sleep disorders, sinus and migraine 
headaches, and a host of other health problems for many individuals. </div>
<br />If you’ve had salt lamp with no results after a few weeks of using it in your home, it is most probably a counterfeit.<br /><br />
</li>
<li><b>Fragile</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Himalayan salt lamps – especially the white variety – tend to be rather fragile. In fact, it's actually a common thing for these salt 
lamps to be damaged during shipping due to poor packaging or improper 
handling. It was one of my biggest concerns since we couldn't pick 'em up and had to resort to having them shipped to our house. Accidentally dropping or bumping a genuine Himalayan salt lamp into another 
solid object is a sure fire way to ding or chip away pieces of the salt 
crystal. If this ever happened or anything else that 
would otherwise damage a fragile chunk of Himalayan pink salt and your 
lamp held up exceptionally well or looks good as new, then it's a fake one for sure!<br />
<br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>From Pakistan</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Real Himalayan pink salt is found deep underground in the mines of Khewra, Pakistan.
 Khewra is located on the western edge of the Himalayan mountains and it
 is the only place where true Himalayan pink salt can be obtained. So if you 
aren’t sure about the authenticity of your lamp, you can always inquire 
about the salt crystal’s country of origin from your supplier to determine if your lamp is a
 fake or the real deal.</div>

If you're considering getting one of these for your home, then make sure to check for its authenticity so you won't get ripped off. For online shoppers like myself, the best way is to check client feedback of the supplier. It's better to be safe than sorry.

It just shows that more and more people are becoming health-conscious and doing research for natural ways to stay fit and prevent diseases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This is actually a staple in our home which Dave and I drink on a daily basis. We have been buying fresh Turmeric root at our local wet and dry market every weekend for the past 6 years, that was way before we started the tea habit. I could still remember that it only costs 20 pesos a kilo at the time, and we were just among a handful of people purchasing the root from the only vendor who had it in his fresh produce stall. Today, a kilo of fresh Turmeric root costs 100 pesos because of the high demand. Even though the price skyrocketed, it is still worth buying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wrote an article about the superfood Turmeric back in 2015, which you can read <a href="http://www.stretchyourpeso.com/2015/03/turmeric-superfood.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I tackled the major health benefits it gives us and gave you enough reasons to add it to your family's diet. According to research, Turmeric is known to have more than 600 health
 benefits. It has many anti-inflammatory properties that help in 
treating various health problems like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid 
arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Turmeric is also known to help people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s 
disease, and high cholesterol. Its anti-oxidant properties can prevent cataracts and different kinds of cancer. It reduces 
inflammation caused by wounds, acne and other skin conditions. Hence, a 
little bit of turmeric added to various foods can provide these benefits everyday. We add Turmeric powder to all of our home-cooked meals and for a couple of months now, enjoy it in tea form. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To tell you frankly, brewing fresh Tumeric tea only came to mind when I started collecting Japanese tea sets late last year haha. I was never fond of teas, was more of a heavy coffee drinker. Getting pregnant with our fourth child and exclusively breastfeeding him after birth up to the present, made anything with caffeine a no-go for me. One of the reasons I decided to collect Japanese tea sets, was to actually encourage myself to start drinking and enjoying teas. It worked pretty well, I am now an official tea lover.</div>

"What diaper brand should our baby use?” A common enough question and concern for first time parents-to-be and even for parents who are expecting their second or third child. You wonder if you should still stick to the same brand you used for your older child when he/she was a baby. You hope the quality and price are still the same, or maybe you should try the new leading brand? Or maybe try the one your other fellow parents recommend? Decisions. Decisions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diapers are indeed among the top essentials for babies. It actually comes second to milk which sits at the top spot. I exclusively breastfeed, so diapers is our number one expense when it comes to baby supplies we buy on a monthly basis. Being a mom of 4, of course, I have definitely tried 
and tested different brands of diapers over the years. The quality of the diaper is of utmost importance, but I'm not saying that I don't take the cost into account as well. Something good quality and reasonably priced fits the bill for me, and for all moms, I'm sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was fortunate enough to receive a sample pack of MamyPoko Diapers, all thanks to Lazada Philippines. I got the Extra Soft Diaper Pants for Boys variant in XL, perfect for my youngest who's a bit big for his age.</div>

I love the cute and cuddly Winnie The Pooh design adorning the front and back of each nappy. Sadly I wasn't able to take a decent photo of my son sporting his MamyPoko pants, boys of his age just won't stay put and all I keep getting were ghostly shots of him crawling away in every direction, which aren't worth posting haha. MamyPoko Pants are remarkably absorbent, our little one slept through the night with just one fresh diaper (yup, no changing until it was time to wake up) and there was no leaking episode at all. Since these nappies are like cloth, they are comfortable to wear and there is no risk of him getting rashes because his skin could breathe through the material easily which is perfect for the tropical climate we have. MamyPoko is a tad pricey, but the quality and comfort my baby gets from wearing one makes up for it by far. I give MamyPoko Pants my two thumbs up!<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span>
