SAY I LOVE YOU, MOM. SAY IT WITH SUCCULENTS

-

Trying to find ideas what to give mom this Sunday? Most of us would want to take our
moms out to dinner. Or maybe have a grand vacation somewhere. But at some days, we are on a tight budget. Fret not, because I found an ideal gift idea for moms that is really affordable and may genuinely last forever!






Last Tuesday,  I was lucky to be one mommy bloggers who were invited to a mini succulent planting workshop by Botanophilic Davao in partnership with Trust Home Depot. The Say it with Succulent Pop Up Shop basically taught us some tips on how to plant, propagate and grow succulents. Surprisingly, I find it easy and fun to get addicted to. It is so relaxing.You just have to love greens and I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

So here's what happened during the workshop.



Ching, owner of Botanophilic Davao taught us how to properly plant succulents

Ching gave us tips on how to propagate


Ching, Psychology major and already an entrepreneur at 22,  owns Botanophilic Davao. A botanophilic herself is a green thumb at an early age, Ching can actually teach the do's and donts in taking good  care of succulents, she does ornamental plants  too! So admirable!


Wrapping up the session with an intimate Tea Time with mommy bloggers over Marks&Spencer signature tea (Organic Greean Tea with Lemon Infusion) plus a lot of yummy cookies that pairs perfectly with the tea.

My new fave tea!

Who says you cant put together a delightful coffee fix, good food and art?  SPARK COFFEE+CRAFTS  is not just your ordinary cafe in the streets of Marfori. In Davao, there may be a hundred and more cafes to choose from when all you wanted to do is to release stress after a days work. During the last leg of DDI's month long Davao food crawl, i was happy to find myself sitting in this really artsy cafe and being able to try out their food offerings is heaven! While waiting for the food, I took photos of the cafe to  show you whats inside Spark Coffee + Crafts. this cafe is owned by 5 cousins who at first was into arts and crafts  and  selling it online but later on decided to venture into owning up their own cafe where people cannot  just sit and have coffee alone but to also have an artsy experience  because Spark hold art workshops once in a while. Ive heard about Spark for quite sometime already but it is only until las weekend that i was able to visit the

If someone says that the bathroom is the most important room in the house, would you agree? Give it a second though, it might get you nodding.    The bathroom is where one starts and ends the day, and an escape zone when seeking solitude, or a good hiding spot. Believe it or not, the shower is where inspiration can strike and the perfect area to decompress. How much time do you use this room daily?   In designing homes, the bathroom, does not get a s much attention, which shouldn ’ t be the case. It is one of the most used rooms in any home. Did you know that house guests can judge you by how this room looks?    “ The golden rules of bathroom design lists proper ventilation, ample natural light coupled with good mood lighting, and  attention to details . When we say details it means all appointments must be cohesive, it should have a theme and space conscious. Then the rest will fall into place —  the color, tile layout, fixtures and the right cabinetry, ”  said Honeylet Lim, manager o
