Life Lately via Instagram

I am going to spare you from the age-old cliche of blabbering about how "busy" life has been the past few weeks. But still, that wouldn't stop me from sharing a bit about that beautiful chaos that I found myself in because I feel like I owe it to you, my lovely readers. If you are already following me on Instagram, you might've even had a peek into some of these posts. But if not, feel free to do so to not miss a single post in the future. You can find me on Instagram here.

I had a slight (okay, major) case of OCD attack. I wanted to organize my closet to make it easier for me to find things to wear. I ended up spending at least half of my day organizing my clothes. I did not even realize I had that many things in my closet! It was exhausting but very therapeutic.

My friend, who I thought was staying here for good, decided to leave the country (again) for work. Insert sniff here. To celebrate before her departure, me and a few special and close friends enjoyed Brazilian barbecue for dinner. I couldn't think of a better way to spend it.

The boyf got me hooked on tea. I have always been a coffee lover (and I still can't live without it). But I found a new love in tea. The strawberry and pomegranate one is my favorite.

I do enjoy cooking a lot. However, the busy lifestyle just does not permit for me to do it as often as I would love to. But I decided to give it a go recently to prepare a healthy snack for our post-dinner meal. I was ecstatic when the boyf had a taste and was very pleased. It takes something as little as that to spark the passion again. I just stocked up on new pasta ingredients for me to experiment with a new dish. Also, I will be back to baking again. This particular recipe I shared on Instagram is a farfalle pasta with tomatoes, basil and sausage.

The last week of August was a great time for me! The boyf's parents were out of town for a vacation and I decided to stay over at his place over the weekend. It was a lovely time - all we did was cook, eat, watch movies, and repeat. His sister was in tow, too, so we had a fun but intimate bonding experience. And yes, he cooked his specialty grilled ribs that I am drooling over just thinking about right now.

I have been actively sharing SheInside products on my blog and social media. Since I first encountered them, I had been obsessed. Great selection of fashionable items at good prices. When I placed my second order, I was anxiously anticipating for those items because I made really good picks. When I finally got the items (albeit a lengthy wait), I can definitely say it was worth the wait. I can't wait for you to see me style these pieces :)
