My Quaint Life

For some, the green movement in Makati started in the Legaspi and Salcedo weekend markets that began more than a decade ago.  I don’t know about you, but I find having to wait for the weekend, can mean mostly that I’ll miss it, with all the other activities I find I sandwich during those days.

Finally, finding our dose of organic and eco-friendly produce can now be done all throughout the week.

Could use a little more greens, but it's a great beginning for things to come.

At The Collective there is a shop with the inspired idea of making such produce available much more conveniently, I expect it would do much for this lifestyle.  With it, the Eco movement in Makati will even be more alive.  It is shaping up to be a true alternative.

Usually, the Easter Eggs we know are either boiled eggs or plastic ones with treats inside.

There’s nothing really wrong with that but I just think its such a waste not to eat the eggs or to eat it is such a waste to the effort of decorating it in the first place.  While plastic ones… just how many can you collect, right?

So, it was such a treat to find a method that gave me more options with our Easter eggs than just eating boiled eggs… its called Blown Eggs.

Warning: It does take a lot more effort than plopping in the eggs in a pan.

We have all experienced Easter in one form or another.  From just attending mass to going on community or mall-sponsored Easter egg hunts for our kids.

But what about doing your own Easter celebration yourself.  As in, the whole production number.  Are you up to it?

Things have been busy the past few weeks,  taking care of stuff for a few big projects.  I have to admit, in the process, I wasn’t able to concentrate on the busiest time for a florist,  VALENTINE’S!

Yes, peach roses for Valentine's... it's totally a good choice if its your wife's favorite!

For the longest time, I was trying to figure out my supplier for eco-friendly Ecuador roses.  I knew I chanced upon it in the past but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out where.

But this Valentine’s, I got quite a welcome surprise!
