Where everything is handmade…
Another month means another featured drink for Yellow Hauz. For a changed, I focused with our milkshake instead of the usual coffee. I’m always a fan of cheese and I’ve been craving for halo-halo lately so I’ve thought of mixing the two. Let me know what you think about the new flavour and we might …
Few months ago, I’ve been seeing photos of Aidx Paredes through my friend Mimi, who owns Soul Lifestyle. He’s doing the window display and graphics for Soul. Got intrigued with this young boy’s creativity, so I followed his IG and blog. Then weeks after that, I met Aidx Paredes and Chi Narciso in person as they came to visit in …
Hello first sunday of June. Can you imagine it’s already half of the year? I can’t! So many things to do yet so little time. Do you agree? {1} I did a DIY notebook for Lieu Magazine using rubber stamps, doily, and bond papers. {2} I used Yellow Hauz‘s VIP room as my workspace this week …
Few more days and it’s back to school already. Somehow, I miss the feeling of being excited every first day of school. New classmates and teachers, then you get to have new uniform, bag, shoes, and school supplies. Here’s a two way DIY notebook for Lieu magazine. This will probably help you boost that excitement and creativity …
Character themes are not my forte. That’s because I don’t really know how to draw them. So I try to look for something else that’s related to that character instead. Once in awhile I have clients who wanted characters for their themes. Like one mom wanted a Rapunzel theme invitation for her little girl’s 7th …
Thought I only had few photos on my instagram but it turned out I’ll be posting two sets. {1} Sandy, my sister asked me to make a cake topper for our friend Miggy. {2} In the studio, we did a custom sticker for a chocolate wedding favor. {3} Been hearing and seeing cute photos of this …
I don’t spend much time in the kitchen but there are times when I check our kitchen to look for certain items I see cluttered jars or containers that I can’t distinguish what exactly it is. Or perhaps, I just want to make an excuse to put labels on everything. Either way, it makes our …
Since Multiply announced that they will closed down anytime soon, I got a little panic thinking where to put all my products now. I’ve considered few platforms like Storeenvy, Bigcartel and Myshopify. However, I have to weigh some factors like the use of peso currency, transaction fee and the yearly cost on my end. Believe …
I have this craze over TWG tea since last January. I don’t know why but maybe because I just love how they brand their tea. Simple, elegant and old looking that simply says, classic. But it was only last week when I had a chance to try it out. I tried the Moroccan Mint, which is based on Green …
I remember the days when I used to put bookplates for my textbooks and even notebooks. That’s actually where I started my very amateur graphic design by using Paint {I used the older and simpler version}. Then I started my custom-made sticker business with college friends. Oh those where the days of clipart, haha. When I …
When I packed my things from my last trip, I figured out I lost my luggage padlock again. For the nth time, I bought a new one again. I guess the store didn’t have a price tag sticker, so they wrote the price on the padlock using a black marker. It was so ugly. Seriously, …
The year was really good to me… I travelled to different places every month to have a little vacation with family or friends. This month was really surprising because I never thought it would pushed through. But it did, so I just came from Okinawa, Japan with Green Tomato team to attend a wedding and to help …
The week went so fast and fun. I made a new drink for Yellow Hauz, product shoot for my new stocks and a 2-day kids workshop. I keep on saying “what? it’s already wednesday? friday?” Argh and now, it’s already sunday. My goodness! Anyway, an instagram sunday from some of the happenings last week. {1} …
One of my favorite coffee in Yellow Hauz is the Café White Mocha. This month, we’re featuring it together with a blended version. Early morning calls for a hot coffee and a blended drink for an afternoon craving. What other way to beat the heat but to have it with white chocolate and coffee, right?
I didn’t realize until last month that most of my friends was born April. And one of them is Chiche, a friend who’s like an adopted sister to us and whom we met accidentally but truly meant to be. Anyway, she had a french themed dinner party in our favorite french restaurant, Bon Apetit. Of course, …
