Since I first tasted fruit yoghurt here in Sydney, I got hooked! I now almost always have a supply of a pint of this healthy, yummy goodness. I even give a serving to my daughter who seems to like it, too. My favorite flavor is currently mango but I would like to try out YoPlait’s Favorites series soon!
Read more about its health benefits and origin, here.

Bihira ang mga donut shops sa Singapore noon pero itong nakaraang taon nagsimula ng dumami muli ang mga ito. Nakakatuwa ano, ang ating Mister Donut sa Pilipinas ay may kaparehang Missy Donut sa Singapore?
Maligayang LP!
oOo
It was only in 2007 that I started seeing donut shops sprouting like mushrooms in Singapore. Funny how the name Missy Donut has a counterpart Mister Donut in the Philippines. Cute! 
Happy LP!
One of our weekend family “traditions” is to have a hearty meal for breakfast (or “brekky” in OZ terminology). Because during the work week, we’d almost always only have a bowl of cereals and a cup of steamy hot chocolate drink.
The meal in photo is one of the more popular breakfast foods in the Philippines. It’s called TAPSILOG, which stands for TAP – Tapa or Beef strips; SI – Sinangag or Fried Rice and LOG – Itlog or Egg. I haven’t tried curing beef for this meal but maybe one of these days I will. We like this served with a steamy hot drink. Yum!
I may not be a big fan of make-up, fancy jewelry, clothes or shoes, but I can be very particular when it comes to my hair. You can cover a zit, a scar or a dark blotch on your face, but when your hair is damaged, it will be hard to hide it unless you wear a wig (or go bald).
That is why, when I got hooked into hair rebonding, which I had four times in recent years, I was really careful in choosing the salon I’d go to. Even for short hair trims, I can get really picky with the hairdresser that I would entrust my hair to. I guess all of us have some sort of fetish in life. Hee.
When I came across this article about hair dye, all I could do was bite my lip and feel the despair the victim must have felt going through his ordeal. The guy who has had his hair done went through “hell” in one of his trips to a salon here in AU. Read more about it, here.
Ito ang aking mga “ginto” sa kusina. Bagaman di ko ito madalas gamitin ngayon di tulad nung una pa lamang akong nagsisimula sa pagluluto. Masama rin ang mga “artificial” na pampalasang ito kung lagi natin isasama sa mga lutuin.

These are my “golden” help in the kitchen. I don’t use bouillon cubes as frequent as before. Although they enrich the flavor of any dish, I know that too much use of these is also bad for the health.

I love, love the health blog Shine hosted by yahoo.com. It gives the public fresh and up to date facts about the countless theories going around creating unnecessary scare and worry.
I have read in another blog that consuming tilapia is harmful as it contains omega6, which is known to have pro-inflammatory effects – contributes to chronic or heart diseases.
But thanks to Dr. David Katz very detailed explanation; I can continue to eat my favorite tilapia! Read his complete write up after the jump.

Who would’ve thought that mussels could help arthritis sufferers? My father who has had a major knee operation a couple of years back has been avoiding seafood for fear that that his knee problem would worsen. Then there’s my mother who is now complaining of joint pains (likely due to arthritis), has also stopped eating shellfish for the same reason.
But here in Australia, manufactured pills made of mussels have helped many victims of arthritis. It’s called Mobicosa and it’s available in selected pharmacies here in Australia. Read more about this here.
I’ve already called my parents overseas and asked them to check it out.

There are six food additives that have long been banned in the UK but are still widely available here in Australia. The campaign to control (if not totally eradicate) the presence of the food coloring: tartrazine (lemon yellow) 102, quinoline yellow 104, sunset yellow FCF 110, Carmoisine (red) (122), ponceau 4R (red) (124) allura red AC (129) have been made years ago.
Unfortunately, the FSANZ (Food Standards Authority of Australia and New Zealand found the study with inadequate evidence hence the influx of food with the mentioned colorings continues. That has kept many mothers or families in the dark for so long. Studies have proven that the intake of foods using these additives worsen if not trigger ADHD or ADHD like symptoms.
Being a mom, I’m all for the ban of these unhealthy substances. The FSANZ should no longer ignore the public’s clamor.
