Healthy Creamy Corn


Hello everyone!
No, you're not lost this is still Tin's blog haha but today I'll show you another wave of post. It's been a long time since I blog a food recipe but today I'll be showing you one.
This is a recipe I wrote on my bullet journal a week ago but never had the chance to prepare. This one's not-so special but I personally think this is a good recipe to share since this is fairly delicious and healthy! Moreover, this is very easy and quick to prepare so doesn't matter if you're a newbie in the kitchen. You can do this! hehee
If you love something creamy without compromising your health, then this is the food for you. This is also perfect for days with "cuddle /sweater weather" hehe 

 INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS:
*Sorry no photo available :)
  1. Combine milk and a cup of corn, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend the ingredients for 1 minute. You may add 1 tbsp.sugar if you want or honey for a healthier choice.
  2. Pour the ingredients in a bowl. Mix the remaining cup of corn.
  3. Transfer everything to a cooking pot and heat on stove for 5 minutes. *In this part,you may also add water if you want.
  4. Slice some spring onions to garnish your soup.
  5. Serve hot.
Voila! now you have your own healthy and creamy corn soup!
Best enjoyed whilst hot ;)


I know I've been MIA lately, but that's because I have some priorities to attend to. Now I'm glad to be back and read all your posts again :)
I hope you like this recipe.
Thank you so much for reading!
Let me know your thoughts below <3

love lots,

Spell Sam





      Today is my best friend Sam's birthday. Sam is one of the most admirable girls I know. You know sometimes you have so many friends but you don't know which one is being true. I'm more than lucky because in that sense, Sam is one of the truest of the true friends I ever had! How lucky can a person be to have a friend who  doesn't only listens but also understands?

     Sam is simply amazing, she's got everything you want in a friend. She's only beautiful but also very smart. I love to do so many things with her like having a makeover sessions, photo shoots and movie marathons! Wahh! We're both movie junkies! lol 

     Since this is her day, I'll tell you something we share together! haha Love you fret! <3

  • We call each other "fret" or "fretty". Don't know what does it mean exactly, but I think the closest meaning is "friends".
  • Both of us are coffeemaniac! Coffee is the best drink for us.lol
  • We've been friends ever since we were little girls. We were friends since we were in kindergarten! We're probably 4 or 5 yrs.old at that time and now we are 20!
  • We went to the same schools ever since we started studying! (That's from kindergarten to college) Although we studied different degree programs in college.
  • On our first jobs, we work for the same company.
  • Sam and I are neighbors!
  • Sam is short for Samantha while Tin is short for Cristine. hehe (just sharin')

Of course, my friendship with Sam isn't perfect. We used to fight a lot when we were kids 'cause we were still kids. lol. But now I'm very happy and proud of how we let each other grow and mature into dignified individuals. charot! 
Our friendship isn't the best in the world but it's 100% real and time tested. I'm looking forward for more years of friendship for the both of us.

Here's a throwback photo of us btw:
(Taken earlier this year)
I love you fret and I hope you'll achieve all of your dreams and aspirations in life!

Forever by your side,
Tin

Flower Power at Bloominous!

Hello everyone!

     Recently I've been checking our flower arranging ideas and trying to busy myself with DIY's concerning flowers( which I will publish soon).I am always a fan of flowers and how to arrange them as our family owns a flower shop. My father is a florist and I used to join flower arranging contests before. Maybe that's also the reason why I love fabrics with floral prints! hehe
     I checked various website and stumble upon Bloominous- a wondrous site that delivers DIY flower kit. I was very surprised because the kit includes brilliant flower arranging ideas, fresh flowers, and everything else that you need for almost every occasion!Imagine doing your own flower arrangements for your wedding? Isn't it great?
     As you open their site,you'll see variety of options from their beautiful collections. 

Here are some photos of their collections below:






     How I adore each one of them! but the Party Pop Collection would be my personal favorite! I'm sure a lot of you will agree with me,right?

I know a lot of sites out there so the question is, what makes Bloominous different?
  • Cost Saving: Each piece is priced without the typical 300% markup from floral designers. Brides will be able to save anywhere from 30% to 50% off their original floral budget. 
  • Easy DIY: Most DIY floral services provide wholesale flowers and do not send ‘prepped’ flowers, but ours come cut-to-order, dethorned, and trimmed. Each kit comes with photo instructions and accessories for easy assembling within 10 to 20 minutes per piece, as well as flower care products.
  • Quality & Professional Design: All collections featuring locally-sourced specialty flowers are designed by our in-house floral designer with 10+ years of experience in event and floral design. 
Here's more, to ensure that they have quality and fresh flowers at all times, Bloominous have their own flower farm. Here's a pic from their flower farm:



If you aren't familiar with Bloominous it's fresh website that upholds the following missions:

1. A real partner who understands DIY:  Our designers are more than just wedding florists.  They are savvy individuals just like you, who have married their passion to DIY with their experience as floral designers.  Yes, our Bloominous Collections are beautiful, but they are also designed to be really easy to arrange, and that's why we're confident you'll be successful at it.
2. Access to everything you need:  The average DIYer will shop from several different flower markets, and visit their local crafts store to make their arrangements come together.  That's a lot of work.  Why don't you leave that to us?  We've partnered with the best floral farms in the world to provide you with all the blooms you need to make the arrangements you see on our site.  We even include the vases, ribbons, pins, wires so you don't have to go looking for them.  No fuss, no waste - just everything you need.
3. FastTrack DIY: We put in the work to prepare your kit so you're ready to go right out of the box.  Your flowers are cut-to-order at the farm, de-thorned and trimmed, and hydrated with nutrients for the journey to your home.  Included are step-by-step photo instructions so you know exactly what to do.  There's no faster way to successfully DIY your own wedding or event.
