austin nutritionist

I got an overseas call  from my friend the other day and I was happy to be updated with her again. She is presently living in Austin, TX and we had a long telephone conversation for more than one hour. She told me that just recently she did a personal rejuvenation with regards to her health.  Her fast changing lifestyle is getting her into too many stress and it makes her  very worried that it might affect her health. My friend submit to a comprehensive medical care in a reputable clinic. There are many tests made and some common symptoms that always bother her are being checked. The kinds of food that she regularly eats are being identified because food intake has something to do with her over all health condition.  An austin nutritionist is recommended to be the professional coach with regards to her diet. Hopefully things will be doing great for my friend’s health and looking forward for some goods results after her therapy.

Cinnamon toasted bread

IMG_0419

Life has been tough the past days and I always see to it that I compensate myself with the right nutrition. Also included in my daily munching is this pack of cinnamon toasted bread. It is made of white bread slices (tasty kind) toasted in butter, sugar and dash of cinnamon.  I like the taste and the crunchiness of the bread topped with toasted ingredients.  Munchies were never that good when tired for the day and this snack satisfies my afternoon or morning cravings.  I feels satisfying for me to taste this pack of toasted bread in my daily living.

Cousin’s home visit

Just months ago we had a get together with my cousin and today I am happy to be seeing her once again. Her flight is so early that she have to left early at dawn to be able to catch the first flight. She leave the airport at five thirty in the morning and good timing because the plane’s take off is on time. Her estimated arrival is seven fifteen and exactly she landed at the airport. My sister meet with her and arrive home at eight o’clock. I prepare a breakfast for her first. There are lots of updates about each other’s lives as many events happened in just a few months.  My cousin’s visit is always a blessing at home.

Sleepy weekend

I thought that I was so stressed out for the past days because I felt sleepy this weekend.  My weekdays were so occupied with lots of work to not just in the office but at home as well. I just do not know why work is never ending. Anyway, it is weekend once again and I have all my time today at home. After breakfast I decide to take a nap as wake up early for the  household helper  who is early for his weekend tasks at home. I have to do some guides while he is cleaning. It lasted for almost an hour and when I get back inside I take some morning breakfast together with my siblings. Then after I feel sleepy and my body seems to be eager to have more sleep. I wake up at noontime for lunch then have some sleep again in the afternoon. late already when I go to the downtown mall. I feel that I am energized  and ready once again for another life’s undertakings.

Clouds in the sky

I got this nice shot of the clouds in the sky one sunny afternoon while having my time at home. The sunny weather made me uneasy so I took my camera and had some sky shots.  It was nice to see the natural beauty of the sky as the white cottony clouds got together to create a huge formation. There was no signals of weather changes that time except that the scorching hot of the sun was unbearable.  How I wish I could reach the sky and take a soft touch on the  white clouds like this on photo. Thanks to my Canon camera who did some wonderful clicks here.

Bottle of sesame oil

I did some grocery shopping for home last weekend and I remembered that I no longer have a sesame oil in the pantry.  So I bought one bottle as I often use it in my daily cooking. Sesame oil is a kind of healthy oil because it is made from sesame seeds. It is an edible kind of vegetable oil that has variety of uses most especially in cooking.  I use sesame oil in my menus like beef spare ribs marinade,  stir fried noodles or pasta, pork marinades, chicken vegetable saute and many more dishes that I wanted to enhance the flavor. This bottle is quite pricey though but thrifty to use because I will only be using a few drops of the oil for my dishes.  I stored it in room temperature to protect the quality of its flavor.

New electric fan

The weather the past weeks is quite hot and humid and until this time I still feel sweaty as the scorching  sunny days keep me hot all day long. I think it was a timing too for the replacement of the old electric fan at home as it no longer functioned normally. I had no choice but to bought a brand new one. Actually it was an unplanned purchase and I had no allotted budget for it.  Good timing because the mall that time was on midnight sale. I chose this good quality of electric fan. It is made of steel plate blades and casing. The motor has thermal fuse inside that can withstand to longer usage and can prevent overheat. The fan has triple uses – stand fan, hanging fan of floor fan. The aluminum tube that serves as a stand is adjustable in any form that you want. I am happy to buy a new electric fan this time. Hope it would serve for more years of use at home.

Hot choco and puff


IMG_0404

I had all my time last Monday morning as it was a non working holiday. I woke up quite late already from my usual morning call time. As promised to my siblings, I cooked a hot chocolate beverage. It is made from naturally harvested cacao fruits that were dried,grounded and molded into dark brown chocolate.  I shredded about five tablespoons then dissolved in hot boiling water for 15-20 minutes. A creamy condensed milk was added as sweetener the stirred well until fully dissolved. I served it hot immediately together with a Danish puff bread (croissant kind). One perfect meal for my morning. Tasted so great as the creamy hot chocolate blended well with the bread stick.

Striped casual top

The holiday season is just months from now. I am already excited to celebrate the season. The shopping malls are giving early treat on sale for the shoppers. I was able to avail this striped casual top on sale while strolling in the night sale of the nearby mall. The design is good and the quality of the clothing is durable. When I wear it, it feels so comfortable and cool.  Long blouses are in these days. I wore this blouse last weekend and had it paired with my favorite dark skinny jeans and shoes.  It always pays to buy clothing at reasonable price yet of quality kind.   I hope to buy another top again in the coming holiday season.

Long non working days

What a great day to start the month of November! It was declared as long non working days as October thirty one and November one were declared as non working days. So all in all this week I have four days of having my vacation break. Good timing because I had so many personal things to attend to. Also I have many deadlines and dues for the month of October. October 31 is Halloween and November 1 is All Saints Day. I have so many personal accomplishments like buying some groceries for home, hair fixings, delivery pick-up and buying of important personal stuffs. At home I am able to clean my personal mess at home and do the laundry and ironing. I am feeling tired last Sunday but I was able to sleep and have enough rest for the entire day today. Thanks for this relaxing time of non working days.
