early prep for Mothers day

Two more months to go and we’ll be celebrating another year for Mother’s Day. I’m pretty excited for this year because I can celebrate this event with my mom personally since at present I stayed near to her. I know it’s kind of early to prepare but I’m planning to have a nice portrait gift aside from the ProFlowers Mothers Day Flowers I’m thinking to get for her. I remember this is the same site I browsed for flowers last year. And they indeed offer a nice service to all their customers.

And yes, a little celebration at home would make this event a memorable one. Maybe I’ll bake some cakes or cupcakes to go with it… Well, looking forward to Mothers day soon… ;)

Salad


While having a Conference call with the husband and my cousin abroad, I have a small serving of vegetable salad… yum! …. Lately I love to eat this kind of salad and the photo above was the salad from Shakeys. So whenever we eat at that restaurant, I make sure this is part of my order. I just love it. Not to mention I’m on diet so I need to lessen my carbs intake… :) Well, I have to try doing my own version of salad. And that call for browsing new recipes…. oh I like surfing food recipes, hehe…

Biotin

Reading the benefits of biotin from this biotin supplement site, I learned that it helps human body in various ways. Base on studies, diabetic person can benefit from this supplementation. It also helps in the metabolism of fatty acids. It is also thought to help maintain a steady blood sugar level.

Some of the foods that contains biotin are:
~ salmon
~ cauliflower
~ carrots
~ liver

Take note that the level of biotin decreases once the food is cook or freeze. Hence the difficulty of getting a good source of biotin.
