No! Don't eat these jewelry!

So, what is the better way to let other know that you are a super sweet gal than wearing your favorite dessert as a necklace/earring/ring/bracelet? BUT, like our mama says, we gotta finish our dinner first before dessert. So, here's a delicious cheeseburger and some chunk chips with salad. Yum!

Then for dessert, you have three options: chocolate strawberry cake, fruit tart and rose cake. What is your choice? If it's too difficult to pick one, maybe all three would be nice? (Don't forget to watch your waistline, though. Lol) Enjoy!

Things that relax me...

I love Lavender, whether it's the scent or the color. How can a flower have such beautiful color and soothing scent at the same time?! I think the roses should be jealous :)

Here's some of my great "Lavender" finds on Etsy. Enjoy!

Green + Butterfly + Pottery

I absolutely adore butterfly not just because they are gorgeous but also because their metamorphosis is the symbol for Christ's resurrection, which my hope and joy as a Christian. That's why my shop is named Papillon (French word for butterfly). Then, green is my favorite color, and there are so many great pottery works on Etsy that I don't even need an excuse to feature them in this blog :). So, a little search for "Green Butterfly Pottery" introduces me to these amazing items...

Things I'm buying for my kids...

All right, it's true that I don't have any kids yet, but it's never too early to create a wish list of things I'd like to buy for them, right? LOL.

So, let's pretend I have a boy and a girl. To be fair (you know, sibling rivalry is no good! :), I'm buying both of them something to decorate their rooms and something nice to wear (you know, for those occasions that one needs to look extra polished :)

For their rooms, I'm getting ...


Happy Tree with Animal Friends Vinyl Wall Decals (by graphicspaces) for my sweet little girl :)
























and this sweet personalized pirate painting by dashonigkuchenpferd would be perfect for my fun-loving boy :)






















Also, they'll proudly wear these to go to church on Sunday :)

I'm sick, Grhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I'm sick. Just a common cold. Good thing, it's not H1N1. LOL.
BUT I love you guys! So, here I am (in my sickness) blogging about remedies I've found on Etsy that would make me and those who are sick feel better. All these shops have great feedback, so no fear, friends :)

Here's what I should be sipping right now. The "Cold Cough and Sore Throat Herbal Tea" by Natuallyupnorth. It's a blend of sage, thyme and lemon balm. This shop has teas for all kinds of common sickness you can think of, too!



















Are getting a headache from your work/kids and what's not? This "Get Well" bath tea used with some warm bath water from Rawbeauty is perfect for some soothing, pain relief. Get Well Essential oil blend is a combination of Camphor, Eucalyptus, Menthol, Peppermint, Tea Tree & Rosemary.


















This Herbal Blend Sachet of dried, fragrant French lavender as well as dried peppermint, dried rosemary, eucalyptus, orange and clove essential oils from EarthAngelStudios is another great find. It can be tucked inside pillow to relieve nighttime symptoms or even used as a bath tea.

















That's that for today. Get well, friends if you're sick or better yet, don't get sick like me! :)

I'm sick, Grhhhhhhhhhh!!!
