Getting Back At It

Getting Back At It

Oh, hello there! I haven’t been active for a while, both on this blog and on IG. There were so many things happening so fast, it was quite a whirlwind for the past 3 months.

About

Hello there! I’m Maria - a Filipina IT professional who packed up her bags to live in New Zealand. Welcome to my blog! I love writing about my passions - simple living, minimalism, home life, money matters, and self-development. Maybe share a couple of musings here and there with you too. Just like having a little chat over a cup of flat white. If you share the same interests as I do, then I would love for you to stick around. πŸ’œ

We've decided to have at least one plant-based dish for the week, just to up our veggie intake. Last week we had Moroccan chickpea and lentil stew (which I wasn't able to take a photo of 😟 Maybe I should make it again sometime πŸ€”). This week I made some orecchiette pasta with broccoli sauce topped with grated cheese and lemon zest, from @feastingathome 's recipe. πŸ₯¦πŸπŸ§€πŸ‹ I just added some mushrooms and leftover zucchini for some texture. It's different because it's neither oil-based nor cream-based, but it works πŸ‘
While we want to have our space tidy and clutter-free, life happens. Whether we have significant life changes, or we get caught up in busy-ness, there are times when clutter begins to creep back in. How do we get back on track when we've fallen off the minimalism wagon?
It's always nice to have a patch of sunshine inside your home 🌻 (especially on gloomy days ☁️)
We've been spending much more time at home and in the recent weeks, I have gone back to preparing and eating homecooked/homebaked meals. This is after months of heavily depending on fast food & Uber Eats (because 1st trimester = zero energy & appetite πŸ˜†). I actually realised that homecooking could be a form of self-care. How, you might ask?

These photos were taken months ago, and it's been that long since we had a proper brunch date. This platter is aptly called "Can't Decide" 😁πŸ₯“πŸ„πŸ…πŸ₯‘πŸžπŸ³ Sooo excited that it's almost the weekend! Happy Friday, folks! πŸ’œ
