Fix Quix is My Choice!

Skipping breakfast or lunch is not a right move especially when you are trying to lose some weight. We should eat frequently but with smaller food portion. Well, controlling food portion is hard and to decide what to eat for breakfast or lunch is even harder.

Normally, I would have a bowl of cereal for breakfast and for lunch, I will either have some yogurt or toast. But having the same thing for few days in the row, that can be very boring. I always tend to make some salad for lunch but I am just too lazy to cook some lean meat to go with it and I don't like plain vegetable salad at all!

Fix Quix solves my problem now and I can easily have some delicious lean meat whenever I want. Fix Quix is a convenient to use refrigerated cubed meat product as well as a healthy protein snack. It is a new product from Buddig and it is available in 3 Premium Flavors which are the Grilled Chicken, Oven-Roasted Turkey and Smoked Ham. They are ready to eat and totally perfect for snacking. Busy moms will love Fix Quix as they are great snack for kids, moms don't have to take long time to prepare lunch for their kids anymore.

More Yarn Coming......

I have been buying yarn alot lately and I still want to buy. Well, I finally have my first Malabrigo yarn and what can I say?! After you have your hand and eye on it, you just know you want MORE of THEM!!! I bought one skein of worsted weight merino wool Lime Blue. The color is soo nice and it is SOFT!!! I have been looking at Malabrigo yarn the whole afternoon online to figure out which color I am going to get next.

I purchased yarn from Littleknits and besides Malabrigo, I got some other discounted yarn as well. There are these Andes hand dyed wool yarn are on sales and they are dirt cheap!!! only 3.50usd per skein (216yard). Honestly, I was abit disappointed when I got them because the color is quite off from what I saw online. The color are much more ligther than I expected. I bought 2 skein each color and I am planing to knit scarf with them.

I also bought some Skacel Adagio wool n silk mixed yarn and classic elite Rave. They are on sales as well, so I just got them. My LYS is having sales for some of its yarn as well, 25% discount. I couldn't help and bought some wool yarn AGAIN. The Berroco wool/alpaca yarn are one of the sales items and I bought one purple and one green! Yup!!! My favourite color! =)

Nice Hanging Out!

Shirley went back to Malaysia for abou 3 months 2 weeks after I got back from my 3 months Malaysia trip. That means, we din't get to hang out for almost 6 months. She is now back to Texas and she will be gone again at October for her wedding in Malaysia.

Hanging out with girl friend is always fun. I always want to try a rose champagne and guess what, I bought one from Sigels last month and I waited until Shirley is back then we drank that together.

I went over to her place this afternoon with a bottle of champagne and some Banana cake I made last night. Did I tell you that I am a fantastic banana cake baker now??!! hahaha, you can be one too! Recipe from Allrecipes.com!!! - Banana Cake -

Once I arrived her place, she already has some delicious braised stuffed brinjal and tofu ready for me. Aaahhh! Soooo yummy! We had a fantastic afternoon together, I love her brinjal and tofu and she likes my banana cake.

I left her place around 4.30pm after having at least 3 glasses of champagne. Not drunk but feeling little tipsy and that FEELS great! hehe......

Simple Quick Homecook Meal

I managed to get some salmon and shrimp with very good price from Kroger this week. Both John and I love seafood and it is always easy to cook them. I used a recipe from Shirley which she gave me last week, but unfortunately, I don't have mayonese so I just omitted it. Actually the recipe is very similar to the one I read up at Allrecipes.com. Well, this is a great recipe and everything can be done in less than 30mins. LOVE IT!!!

For the shrimp, I used the Shrimp Lemon Pepper linguini recipe from Allrecipes.com. Yes, I love this recipe site. But I replaced the linguine with elbow pasta. I also used marsala wine instead of white wine because I don't have any! haha! It turned out to be a perfect meal for us.

Perfect Protein Snack

I always have hard time to decide what to eat for lunch most of the time especially during weekdays when John is at work. I tend to eat less for lunch so most of the choices are salad, yogurt or toast. You can imagine how fast I would get bored of these kind of food.

Salad is always my first choice and once a while, I will cook some lean chicken or turkey to go with my salad but that is just too much hassles for me. When I see Fix Quix is launched in the market, I am just can't wait to try it out.

This is a new product from Buddig and available in three premium flavors which are Grilled Chicken, Oven-Roasted Turkey, and Smoked Ham .

Crocheting flowers

I had been crocheting flowers non-stop yesterday and it is always a joy to crochet after knitting too much. I crocheted two and I felted them right away. They look cute after felt! I will use all my left over wool yarn to crochet some flowers then I will chain them up and make a scarf! Awesome idea no?

Italy, France, Greece and India

I always wish to travel to Europe again because I had so much fun visiting to Italy and France few years back. I can't see this happens in any time sooner as the whole trip will cost a lot of money. When I found out that Stouffers-panini is having a contest going on about winning a trip to Europe, I was so excited and looking forward! But I became like a deflated balloon when I realized the contest is only available for Canadians.

I like Stouffer's Panini products and I will have them for lunch at weekdays when I am alone and don't feel like making anything. The contest that I have mentioned above is for promotion of the launch of 4 new varieties which are the Bistro Meatballs & Peppers, Bistro Chicken Souvlaki, Lean Cuisine Grilled Vegetables & Goat Cheese and Lean Cuisine Mango Chicken Tikka.

Pretty In White Shrug

I have made this shrug a week ago and I think I finish this in a day. I used 8mm needle and chunky wool acrylic yarn. It is a fantastic one skein project that I can see myself making again. Since I only use one skein of yarn, so this shrug is made in XS or S size.

I get Shirley to be my model without showing her face and I really appreciate her kindness! =) The shrugs look soooo pretty on her and I know I will make another white one in S and a black one in M size. I still have one skein of white yarn and 2 skein of black.

As you can see, I knitted the body using a very simple elegant leave lace pattern. For the edge, I made a 2x2 ribbing and at the other side of edge, I crocheted around it to give the shrug more feminine touch.

I really really like how it looks on Shirley! Hopefully there are some ETSY buyers out there will love this piece as much as I do!

New Watch?!

The first time I heard about Toywatch was about 2 years ago. There was an article about this brand in a magazine. I did not pay much attention as the design was kinda rough and big to me. But few months back, I had a look at their site and I actually like some of their designs. As what I read from the magazine, there are many Hollywood celebrities are loving their Toywatch, even First lady Michelle Obama was seen wearing a purple Neon Plasteramic watch at Eiffel Tower, Paris.

I used to buy watches quite often but they are not expensive watch and I did not spend more than 200 dollars on a watch. The last watch I got was a Swatch 3 years ago. I think it is about time that I can spoil myself with a new watch.

Few weeks ago, my brother actually told me that he likes the Toywatch skeleton Stainless steel very much and he really wants to get it. I have no idea if he got it or not but I do think this watch is nice! For me, I spotted a sweet pink watch from Toywatch too. It is Mother of Pearl Chrono Watch in Pink. This watch come with a clear acrylic bracelet or a pink leather strap but it is out of stock now! Wow... Hmmm... I will keep my eyes on this site and see if there are any new designs coming out! Maybe I will find something else better and nicer?

Summer in Branson

You wish to go somewhere for a vacation with your family before school starts and you don't have any idea where to go. How about Branson, Missouri? Branson is magnificent interesting city that your whole family will find endless fun there.

There are many things you can do at Branson. Branson has lakes, museums, theme parks shopping and live entertainment theaters that you can easily reach from your hotel. You can't miss out the spectacular one-of-a-kind water fountain with a light and fire display choreographed to music in the town square. This is definitely a I want to see with John when we are there.

John and I are really planning on a vacation before this summer ends and Branson is a city that I want to visit badly. I am all ready for the outlet mall shoppings, Hollywood Wax Museum, the Polynesian Island Fire Show and the Cirque Montage. Too bad that John doesn't play golf anymore because there are two beautiful golf course in Branson. A weekend getaway is exactly what we are wanting. We plan to arrive at Branson at the Friday afternoon and spend two days there. I want to visit to one of the nice restaurants in Branson for dinner and then visit to the town square to see the water fountain. I believe that will be very entertaining show that I cannot miss. Saturday will be my shopping day. I don't think John would like to join me so he will make his trip to the Hollywood Wax Museum. I am thinking to spend 6 hours to shop and we will go for the Polynesian Island Fire show at night. This is basically what we plan to do when we are at Branson but I know there might be some spontaneous changings when we find out more about Branson.

Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel are having summer package promotion. I like the location of these two hotels and I will have to pick one when we have the trip to Branson. There is this Hilton Visa Summer Savings going on around. We will get 25% off off their best available rate when you book and pay for your stay with your Visa Signature or Visa Infinite credit card.

I really need a vacation to get way from this summer heat. I wish to enjoy some cocktails in nice restaurants in Branson. Also, I want to shop around the outlet mall, beautiful antique shops and specialty boutiques till I drop.

Don't you need a weekend getaway with your love one in this summer? Book your stay with Hilton Hotels now and enjoyr yourself to the max in Branson!

1 of the BEST burgers in TEXAS!

John and I went to 1 of the best Burgers in Texas today for lunch. This restaurant's name is Kelly's Eastside and it is located at Avenue K. I ordered a southwestern burger which is the signature popular burger and John ordered himself a cheese mushroom burger.

The price of the food in their menu is reasonable and I believe not only they make delicious burgers, I want to try out other dishes in their menu one day.

John prohibited me to take my digi cam to the lunch so I only managed to snap some pictures with my phone camera so the quality is not good.

THEY MAKE GOOD BURGERS!!!!!!

Get Ready to go back to Campus!!!

"This post was sponsored by Sears. All the opinions are mine."

Parents cannot be any busier than this time around the year as they have to prepare their kids to go back to school. You might find yourself helpless if your first kid is leaving the house and about to move in the campus for college. You don't know how and where to start with everything. SEARS is the place you should go and all the troubles in your mind will be solved.

Sears has designed 5 different dorm room themes this years at their site Campusready and I believe that will help most parents to have a better idea what they can do for their kids. I personally like the funky femme theme. Light pink and white painted walls with fuschia pink and black furniture. You can get everything you see in the picture from Sears with reasonable price.

Besides setting up the dorm room for your kid, you definitely need to check on the checklist several times to make sure your kids have everything necessary with them when they are away from you. They definitely need a laptop, a TV, a microwave, a compact refridgerator and an iron. The list can go on and on from there.

Also, we cannot forget to get them clothings that they need for college. You don't have to spend a fortune in this as Sears has pretty neat collection of clothings that come with affordable price. Go get your girl few pair of nice jeans, either Dickies 5-Pocket Skinny Pant or Levi's ® 518™ Boot. Also, young teenage girls cannot live without some Junior's graphic tees. There are many to choose from at Sears Junior clothings department.

Parents who has financial problem can seek for financial tips from Sears site online for themselves and also their kids. You can now go on to their site and look at their payment chart. You can easily make the affordable payment every month by using Sears credit card.
