Vlog 17: Late Christmas Photoshoot

Hi earthlings! I know it's too late to share Christmas photos but I couldn't resist not uploading them here on my blog. I was very busy finishing some personal tasks last month. But I'm back on my regular schedule both on my channel and on my blog. 

Simple and pretty free printable 2021 calendar with national holidays (USA and Philippines)

Calendars we gifted to some of our family and friends

Good evening earthlings!!

My husband (iKenKreate) and I have decided to give away some of the calendars to our friends and family this year and of course I won't forget my small community here on the internet. 

This printable calendar is for free and black and white so you can have the comfort of printing them at home. I really tried my best to double check all the measurements and margins for this template and tested printing each one on a letter size (8.5x11 in.) paper and I'm so happy it worked perfectly. Originally I wanted to print them on an A4 paper but it wasn't available on most stores I checked out. Hopefully I will be more prepared next year and will be able to order an A4 cardstock online but I also realized letter size paper is the most common we use at home so it kind of worked out in the end. 

My only suggestion is to print the templates on a thicker material like a cardstock paper so it feels sturdy and the ink won't bleed. I tested most kind of writing pens like sharpie, fountain pen and gel pens. 

Vlog 15: Remaining days of October and finishing iKenKreate's first macramé shelf wall decor

The last days of October got a little busy than usual. We started preparing for the Halloween and did few activities to keep us entertained. My relatives and I never got to bond like this since when we were little. I'm glad I was able to finally do this with them like the old times.

Vlog 14: Welcoming autumn season, and vintage shopping (mini haul)

Good day earthlings! We will have short blog post today and I wish you all a good and fun Halloween!! My Halloween vlog will be uploaded the following week.

I'm really excited to be sharing my first autumn vlog ever. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons because it starts to get colder and I can finally be warm and cozy with my sweaters and boots. I also love the smell of crisp Fall leaves and witnessing the changing of leaves in trees. Although there is not much greenery around the city but I still love it. 

Walnut Carrot Cake Muffins

The recipe "Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins" I made on today's vlog is by Joey Firoben from tasty.co. Please click the link to read the complete instructions for the muffins. I enjoyed making this because it's only a one bowl recipe. Just put all your ingredients in a large bowl and mix all of it. You won't need a stand or hand mixer to do this and the recipe calls for a maple syrup (I haven't tried using white sugar as the sweetener but I think it will be just fine). Maple is one of my favorite Fall flavors. It's really hard for me to like some pumpkin flavored recipes. I didn't really grow up having pumpkin flavored desserts or pies but I do love pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. 

Even though my vlog didn't feature pumpkin flavored desserts I hope you guys will still enjoy and be encouraged to make these tasty muffins. I personally added chopped raw walnuts and filled the muffins with cream cheese frosting. I love the sweet and crunchy texture to the muffins. 

Got some uneven ones
