Extra Guacamole

I know these drinks have been around for quite some time now (like years, I took the late train ) but as a self diagnosed caffeine addict I figure my opinion holds some value to anyone who has yet to try these drinks. Considering Bang isn't as popular as Monster/Rockstar/Red Bull products I would imagine there is still a number of people who haven't heard of them. Let me begin by saying these are more than just an "energy drink" but definitely a "pre-workout drink". Each can of Bang delivers a high amount of caffeine at 300mg. According to the Red Bull website " One 8.4 oz can of Red Bull Energy drink contains 80mg of caffeine, about the same amount as in a cup of coffee." That means Bang energy drinks have over triple the amount of Red Bull. Something to consider if you're caffeine sensitive or regularly consume coffee or other caffeinated products. Personally I don't drink energy drinks because I'm not a fan of the sugar content or ...

Wanted to share RQ a Valentine's Day craft idea. These are good for those who can appreciate non-candy Valentine's perfect for a school snack time. They are easy  to make and don't require a lot of your time. I made 8 of them for Aviva's Girl Scout troop and it took about an hour. I don't know if I would make 21 of them for her Kindergarten class. That would be a bit time consuming but if you're wiling to put in the effort, then go for it you over achieving badass, you. This is my take on a similar pin I had seen of some pudding cups decorated to look like puppies. The original post utilized foam to make the ears/nose/mouth. I utilized whatever I had left over in my craft box. ;) Waste not, want not ok ok~  Originally I was going to make "LOVE MONSTERS" but thought puppies would be cuter. aaaand I'm all about the cute. Turning Snac Packs into characters is actually a thing lol You can look up robots, Minions, penguins etc. and yes, puppers. The ri...

Hi there sweethearts, hope you had a holly jolly Xmas. Ok, so long time no bloggy, but I've been enjoying my holidays. I put working out on the back burner, and rightfully so. If you didn't eat a bunch of holiday sweets and yummy deliciousness than what is you doing baby? So aside from being away because of festivities I've been gettin' my craft on. I've been sitting on a tub of air-dry clay for over a year now and something needed to be done about that. When Aviva got a paper sent home from school asking for an ornament for her classroom's Christmas tree, I felt this was the opportunity. Now I wasn't sure how this would all turn out but in the end it was a learning experience through the process. I wanted Aviva to take something that was representative of her. Since we moved from Texas only recently the cactus tree was a quirky but appropriate idea. After sculpting it out I waited overnight for it to dry. Next, it needed a hook so it coul...

We're gonna talk about AZN SNAKS...like *me* juuuust kidding~ If you've ever been to an asian food store/grocer/market then you know the two most prominent sections of the place:  1. The pungent seafood area (try walking past this section without holding your breath, I dare you) and 2. The snack aisle. Oh, behold! The glorious foreign treats and sweets from the orient. Shelves colorfully lined with products in Japanese labels. Also in abundance here; drinks in funky glass bottles and packages with anime characters or ridiculously cute animals. If sweets aren't your craving, there's always chips-a-plenty for whatever you fancy. The struggles of being an Asian kid were real, and sugary...real sugary. Growing up half an asian kid, I never left the Filipino store empty handed. That would be a crime. Fast forward till now, and I still get the spark of excitement of going to the asian market store. Conditioned into my being: the concept ...

What the heck is a vocabulary parade ? I know, I thought the same thing when I got the newsletter sent home in Aviva's backpack. Apparently its something schools do sometimes. Not just my child's elementary. You pick a word. Any word in the dictionary is fair game. Then you make a costume that depicts that word. The school then invites all the parents to watch the students have a parade, hence the parade part. Everyone shows off their word costumes. -aww! There was a list of words sent home I guess to help get the creative juices flowing. I was looking at the words and thinking how am I suppose to come up with a costume for "obtuse" or "aquatic" etc... This was going to require a little thinking outside the box. On top of that, I had already expended my efforts and budget for costumes making Aviva's Vanellope Von Schweetz costume : P So I needed to be able to make it with stuff we already had. This didn't seem to be a problem, the kids have a b...
