Infuusa life.

Eating healthy has been all the hype these days and that's probably how fruit infused water came about. I jumped onto the bandwagon, diligently preparing my fruit infused water every night before hitting the sack. But of course, that was short-lived. I, for one, found it tedious to prepare infused water even though it's pretty much just cutting and dumping fruits into water then leaving it in the fridge overnight. So thankfully I was introduced to Infuusa some time last year!

If you've spoken to Wei (the brains behind Infuusa), he believes that preparing an infusion with fresh fruits is definitely healthier than Infuusa and he urges people to do so. However, if you're feeling lazy or constantly on the go like I am, Infuusa is your saving grace.

I was away on a vacation this month. Whether I was braving the relentless heat hopping from one island to another or travelling from one city to another, Infuusa was one of my travel essentials. It comes pre-packed in sachets which makes it very convenient to carry around and even more convenient to prepare. All I had to do was pop a sachet into my water bottle and give it a few shakes to get a bottle full of goodness within minutes! No more cutting fruits and waiting for hours to make infused water!

The other thing I really love about Infuusa is that it contains just enough sweetness to get rid of that bland taste in your mouth when you're thirsty. And that can only mean one thing -- bye bye sugary sports drinks!

Of all the 3 flavours, the Quad Berry is my favourite! It's ingredients are apples, hibiscus petals, blueberries, blackberry leaves, rosehip shells, flavours, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and Stevia leaves. This combination gives a powerful anti-oxidant punch while you hydrate. The improved version of the Quad Berry now contains 2X more ingredients and Stevia leaves to make it even more deliciously fruity!

Was super excited to try out the new flavour, Summer Peach, since I love peaches. I was really happy that it met my expectations and taste as awesome as your usual peach tea, only way healthier. The Summer Peach contains black tea, black tea extract, flavours and Stevia leaves. It is mildly caffeinated to rev metabolism and burn more calories after a workout.

Infuusa uses all natural ingredients so you won't have to worry about ingesting any weird chemicals. It does not contain any added sugar (Stevia leaves are used instead for a touch of zero-calorie sweetness) and is ultra low in calorie which allows you to drink up guilt-free!

I've been meaning to post these photos on one of the 12 days of Christmas but I've been swamped. Not to mention that it was only the second day of the new year and a bad gastric left me puking my gut out during those God forsaken hours. Spent the next 3 days battling drowsiness in bed and on a liquid diet. So glad I'm a lot better now 'cause it's only 2 more sleeps to my long awaited vacation! Can't wait to take part in the Sinulog Festival! Got tons in stored for this space so keep your eyes peeled!

Goodbye, 2014!

365th day of 2014. What can I say? 2014 has been a roller coaster year for me. To put succinctly, it was one filled with struggles and triumphs, heart wrenching moments as much as uplifting ones.

2014 saw me at one of my lowest point and that is without a doubt an understatement. For years, I was chasing after someone whom every one (except me) knew will never love me enough and will never have time for me even if he had 25 hours in a day. I'm sure that he was the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't have achieved the many things that I have without him, but I'm also clearly aware that he was the very reason behind my tear stained pillows. I fell for his "I love you". In the end, it was those very 3 words that broke me. There seems to be this perverse cruelty in humanity that the one you love best, hurts you the most.

Although walking away was the toughest decision and it crushed me, it also taught me a thing or two. I've learnt that sometimes the person you'll take a bullet for is the one behind the trigger. I've learnt that it takes a hell lot more than love to make a relationship work. Someone may love you, they may even say it out loud, yet what matters most is that they go out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life. The biggest takeaway for me is probably impermanence; every thing is transient and will eventually pass. So this, this heart break too shall pass. And I have absolute faith that in God's rightful time, I'll find my prince.

That aside, 2014 brimmed with new opportunities which I'm extremely thankful for. I've had the pleasure of working with Love Out Loud Asia, writing monthly blogposts (I hope you've read them) about relationships. Then there's Sample Store who has been so loving to provide me with a platform to work with brands like Bio-Essence and London Weight Management. Not forgetting other collaborations with Room 290, Tirisula Yoga, 108 Yogathon, etc.

I'm grateful too for having loved ones (family and friends alike) who are ever so caring and supporting. I wouldn't have gotten through 2014 without their constant encouragement and unconditional love.

2014 might not have been the most smooth sailing year I had but it has definitely seen me grown so much with experiences, milestones and lessons learnt in abundance. Nevertheless, there's still plenty of room for growth, so I'm excited to take on the new year. I believe in Heavenly Papa and His plans to prosper me. I look forward to the many plans I have for this space in the hope that my love for writing will slowly but surely reach out to many more. I look forward to seeing old friends again in 2015, as well as, meeting new people. I look forward to finally attending my graduation during my birthday month. I look forward to seeing more of the world as I travel.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOVES!  May 2015 bring loads of love, happiness, health, blessings, opportunities, and plenty more!

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever."

- Neil Gaiman
