Make it short and sweet
If this is your first trip together, make sure to make it short and sweet. Skip the 10-day vacation and opt only for a long weekend trip. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a lot of fun and one-on-one moments. If you pick an all-inclusive resort, you will get to try everything from romantic dining to walks at the beach and fun activities for two.

The Outdoor Life At Home - Build An Alfresco Kitchen

One of the great glories of sunny weather is the opportunity it offers you to enjoy the outdoors at their finest. For many people the optimum way of doing this is to take themselves out into the garden to enjoy a barbecue. Tasty snacks cooked up on a grill to be enjoyed in an alfresco setting: what could be more wonderful?

Well, what if we were to take the excellent idea of cooking food over coals in your back garden and make it bigger and grander? Instead of a single grill, what about an entire kitchen? For an increasing number of people, the joys of an alfresco kitchen are becoming very clear, and it means that - weather permitting - they can have that barbecue vibe whenever they want, and without the risk of uneven cooking that comes with a charcoal grill.

10 Men’s Fashion Tips & Tricks For 2021

In 2021, we really need to come to terms with the fact that men, just like women, can care about their appearance and fashion. If we have learned something from fashion by now, it’s that there are no universal formulas. Everything is mutable and there are no lines that can’t be crossed.

4 Backyard Activities You Can Do with your Family To Combat Quarantine Boredom

Hello! How’s your 2021 going? If you’re like me who is surprised to find out that it’s already the second month of the year, and it’s as if, what happened? I just blinked and now I’m already done with my trial month. Unluckily at this time, restrictions are still not fully lifted and although I know you are itching to go outside or travel as you please, it’s not really fully feasible. 




I understand it completely when you say that you’re bored and is having some sort of cabin fever, because I am feeling that too. But to be honest, you are kind of left with nothing but find ways to get out of that rut. Everyday I think about a lot of activities I can do just to prevent my life from getting monotonous.

Filipino Food Re-Imagined at Soleras

Creativity is something that Filipinos don’t lack and it’s evident in a so many ways. And yes, even though this pandemic or even in toughest times. Especially when it comes to food, need I say more about turning pandesal into different flavors, all the baked sushi variants etc. We never stop reimagining nor reinventing especially with Filipino cuisine. ⁣



⁣
Recently, I visited this very unique and newly opened restaurant in Banawe, Quezon City called ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ฌ. This restaurant screams nothing but being unique. Why? First, it’s inside a store that sells hardware and construction tools & products. If women make their boyfriends/husbands wait when they go shopping, let’s just say the table would be turned this time around. But women who will accompany their significant others who’s busy looking at tools won’t be bored, and they can just try out the food that Soleras is offering. Of course, you can bring the whole family too! ⁣

What Should You Do With Your Valuables When You Travel?

There are plenty of things to sort out when you choose to travel. However, one overlooked thing is what you should do with your valuables. You've all got certain things that are valuable to you in one way or another. They might be expensive, rare, or sentimental. So, what should you do with these valuables when you travel? Truthfully, there are four different options to consider...

Bring them with you
Option number one is to take your valuables with you. This might make sense depending on what your valuables are. If you have an expensive laptop or camera, you're probably going to bring them with you anyway. However, it doesn't make much sense to take a family heirloom on your travels! Often, bringing things with you will only increase the odds of them being stolen or lost.

Sakura Hanami - Maginhawa QC

Hanami, translates to flower viewing, a centuries old tradition of having a picnic under cherry blossom trees. Sakura Hanami aims to bring a piece of this Japanese culture, by treating guests to a visual representation of this much-loved tradition. Hence, you will spot a faux cherry blossom tree outside of the cafรฉ and the ceiling and walls are full of faux pink flowers. The place and the drinks are super IG-worthy! ⁣




Moreover, I’ve tried a lot of milk teas since it has become a trend and a staple drink in the Philippines; but I must say there are only a few that really stand out and one of them is Sakura Hanami. I’ve heard of it and got invited by friends to visit but never got the chance only until last weekend. And it was really nice afternoon to spend on catching up. ⁣⁣

Practical Tips to Help You Avoid Burnout While Working From Home

The global pandemic notwithstanding, more and more people are negotiating for more flexible working hours, which often means remote working and a lot of working from home. For any employee, the level of flexibility therein accorded is something short of a dream come true. While it might not be an option that works for everyone, it’s an arrangement that’s now preferred by most employers, and most people who preferred the order of commutes to and from work and getting things done by a specific time have had to get on with the way things are now.

But even with the flexibility and the extra layer of freedom that comes from working from home, one thing is clear – more than ever, the risk of burnout is at a high. And with burnout, there’s the drop in productivity, which only harms a company’s bottom line, not to mention individual health. So, how do we go about it? How do you draw the line between work and non-work tasks, personal and professional lives? With your afternoons blending with the evening and the weekdays blending with your weekends, and consequently a very little sense of time off, how do you keep up or maintain your flow, mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing? And more importantly, how do you balance work and family without burning out completely?
