I've been into nail art lately and I have increased my stash bit by bit. I am not in any way doing this professionally but this is mostly for personally gratification :) I will be sharing some photos of what I have done, sharing only those I think can be visually friendly hahah!
For this nail series, here's my nail art inspired by diagonal lines and holograms using two cute colors.
Pink is LA Colors' Summertime; bottom half is LA Colors' Fuji Purple. Hologram diagonal stripe is Color Club's Blue Hologram.

Chocolate Lava Muffies (cookie+muffin hybrid)
Lately, weekends meant laboring in the kitchen for me. And since my body clock's all twisted due to my work, I wake up in the middle of the night and bake! Then baking it is for me! Oftentimes, I bake for little orders that come by and mostly for personal consumption at home. I'm not a big batch baker, you see. The most that I did was for four dozens of cupcake for a birthday celebration in the office. Here's how the cupcakes looked like:
The past two weeks, I was all about cookies! Chocolate chip cookies to be exact. My series of cookie baking started with actually started with 2 layers of cookies, baked on top of each other :) Take a look:
All you need are the generic ingredients for a chocolate chip cookie. Look for one online that would work best for you.
Here are the stuff that I needed. I used Belgian hard bake chips so the chocolates are still in their form after baking.
And here they are after about 20 minutes of preparation and 10-15 minutes baking time. How do taste? Read for yourself:
Chewy goodness!! |
chocolate laden creation! |
- Hungry
- Salivating
- with Panic-stricken-grip-in-your-tummy-Please-give-me-some-of-these-cookie-wonders!!
- or All of the above!!
Making them was a process I totally enjoyed. I made a mess but my house smelled divine!! ok, going back. Let me build up the excitement further and show you some photos from the preparation stage:
first layer of cookies!! It felt like starting to build the foundation hahaha! |
them comes the melted Belgian chocolate that's sandwich between two sinful cookie dough then place another later of the dough. |
Waiting, waiting, waiting. Can you feel that I was getting impatient and excited while taking this photo?? |
Patience paid off, big time!! This is what was waiting for me. Best. Reward. Ever.
