Yogurt {coleslaw}

I personally love, love coleslaw. But not the typical where you’d find the ready made ones from the grocery stores/ salad bar/ infamous KFC outlets. Uh-huh, they taste yummy but it won’t do good to your waist line. 

So, here’s a simple and oh-so good recipe I would like to share :) 

  • Organic White/Purple cabbage
  • Carrots 
  • White Onion
  • Dijon Mustard 
  • Honey
  • Plain low-fat yogurt (as mayo replacement) 
  • Herbs/Spices of your choice 

Shred the veges. Stir & mix, mix, MIX! 

Now that’s what I call a real salad without the sinful dressing. Bon Appetit! 

My lil hearty treasures…

One of my favorite-st MUST-HAVE accessory for self adorning, in which I would say…the GOLD WATCH!  

I like to layer it off with my other gold bangles/bracelets for a chic look or just wear it plain classic to go. 

There is a value and worth in every timepiece I owned but to hold em close to my heart given by my loved ones are just PRICELESS :) 

leopard print {craze}

Leopard prints are back in trend for FALL/WINTER 2011! 

Tips to pull off leopard prints FABULOUSLY & not tacky:

  • Do not pair more than 2 prints at once. Keep the rest of the outfit as minimal as possible so the prints accent can really stand out. 
  • If you are nervous with leopard print apparel, invest in accessories such as scarves, shoes ,bags or even belts and headbands. It’s an instant splash to a simple outfit. 
  • If you would to wear a full print dress, keep your accessories simple or none at all. Confidence is all you need here. 
  • Leopard prints works perfectly with black, white, red and earthy tones. 

RAWR!

A walk of life with your loved one. Sweet &lt;3

My very own protein {bar}

Correct me if I’m wrong, protein/energy bars which sold in the grocery stores are pretty pricey and most of em’ are processed. Personally, Jules and I love munching on these bars for a quick energy restoration before a workout or as a pick-me-up healthy snack.

However I do not purchase but instead… I MAKE em’. It’s simple, natural, cheap and the best part it can last you for the whole week with just one tray! 

Carmen’s Version P-Bar

  • 1 cup sliced almond
  • 1 cup dried fruits of your choice ( I like raisins) 
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup pure honey
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 3 scoops soy powder

Mix everything well in a low heated pan. Get the right medium to soft texture and compress it on a flat greased tray. Refrigerate overnight. Cut and wrap em’ up in foil. 

Voila! Let’s munch away ;) 

I have a confession. Am into you, mustard! Let’s put some mustard on my boday, will ya ;P

these boots are made for {walking}

Fall is all about boots! But since the coup i’m living in is already warm enough for the entire year, an ankle high would be T-H-E perfect pair.

My chosen one would be : suede ankle high with low chunky heels in nude.

Hunt starts now!
