Craving for a Leche Flan

Last week, I craved for a Leche Flan and since there is no store here that I can order and buy a Leche Flan, I tried to make one. Thankfully, I successfully made two servings.

This is truly delicious. I followed a recipe shown in YouTube. The steps were so easy to follow.

This is the steamer that I used for my Leche Flan.

I am a fan of PanlasangPinoy Website so; if you want to know how to make Leche Flan, visit PanlasangPinoy.com search Leche Flan. That is the recipe I used. Go there now. Thanks for stopping by here.

Great Wines that I got for Free

Look what I got yesterday, half a dozen of wines and all these are FREE. About 3 weeks ago, I received a box from a company. Inside the box are goodies and it also contain a wine Gift Card worth $50. At first, I was hesitant because I have to pay the shipping fee but, I ordered anyway. The shipping fee was $11 and honestly, it's worth it. This is way better that free tasting right?

Here is the GC that I used to purchase the bottles of wines above.

I drink occasionally so; these will last for a long time. Want some? LOL. Thanks for stopping by. I will see you again right? Have a great weekend.

Screen Printing Unique T-Shirts for Your Event

Having a t-shirt to commemorate an event is a fun way to go back and remember who was there and what happened. Whether it is a charity fundraiser, a family reunion, or an annual company barbeque, screen printing a unique t-shirt is always a great souvenir. Luckily, there are many different companies, available both in person and online, that specialize in just that. Some offer pre-made designs that you can choose from and personalize with names and dates, and others help you create a design all your own. Whichever direction you choose, it is important to keep a few things in mind.

Order Size

Order size references two aspects that are key to ordering personalized t-shirts. First, be sure to order enough of each size. This can be accomplished by keeping in mind who may be attending the event and even asking those that have stated they will be joining to volunteer what size t-shirt they may prefer. Make sure to order a few extras of each size as to not leave anyone out. Second, don’t order too many or too few t-shirts. Too few will lead to hurt feelings and too many will leave you with extra boxes of unused t-shirts in your living room awaiting a trip to the local Goodwill.

Shirt Design

The shirt design is the most important part of your order for two reasons. First, a poor design with misspelled words will be remembered forever. This is especially true if everyone knows that it’s you who made the order. The same can be said in the opposite direction as well too. A great design will make it so people are more than happy to keep their fun souvenir and maybe even wear it later, leading to appreciation for your brilliant idea. Second, screen printing a t-shirt with a design that is improperly placed can ruin a design all together. Remember, t-shirts are meant to be worn on people who are three-dimensional. In the end, a memorable shirt design will not make or break an event. However, it will help people to remember the event overall.

$50 Wine Gift Card

If you know me as a blogger for the past 6 years, you know that I do write sponsored posts. But last year, I started sending pitch letters to companies that I like and so far; I have a positive response. Products arrived one by one and sometimes; overwhelming! I can review the product depending on my mood. Most of the time, I do not open the box until such time that I am ready to write about it. I have a box with full of goodies inside and I got it for about 2 weeks. When I checked the box, I found out that there was a gift card worth $50 and will expire in two weeks. My bad!

A wake up call that I should write the review as fast as I can. I stopped sending pitch letters for a month now and will not even bother to do so. Not until I am done writing all of these goodies. Anyway, I already ordered half a dozen of good wines using the GC. I paid $11 for the shipping. Not bad actually!

Clean as You Go for Success

Once you have made a bid, and the bid has been accepted, you will have to actually do the job. Generally speaking, when you are talking about a new cleaning job, the first couple of days to weeks are spent doing a deep clean. Once you get the deep clean done, you can set up a clean-as-you-go arrangement so that everything is cleaner and done better throughout the rest of the contract. A facility maintenance software can help you manage the cleaning schedule and make sure that you have enough supplies on hand.

Supply and Cleaning Management

If you are in the cleaning business, you know how important it is that you have the right supplies on hand. It is not only important for getting the job done but also for meeting government regulations. Every chemical that you use requires a form that tells about its toxicity and how to treat exposures. That means that you cannot use a substitute unless you have the form available on that substitute.

By managing the cleaning schedule, you should know about how much of each cleaning solution you need for each job. This will help you maintain an appropriate amount of cleaning solution on hand. It will also allow you to keep money on hand instead of too much cleaning fluid. More money on hand means that you will have more opportunity to invest in jobs that you might not be able to do otherwise.

Cleaning as You Go

When you do your job well enough, you will not have to worry about bidding on the job again because the company will know exactly what level of service it is getting from you. That means that a facility maintenance software can help you keep the contracts you have. That will help your business grow because maintaining customers is easier and less expensive than getting new ones. Maintaining something is always easier than having to do a bunch of stuff all at once. By using the psychology of people for your business goals, you can get the best out of those who do the cleaning.

What a great idea and now, it became a hit for parents and eventually turned into a good business venture! If cake pops are your favorite treats for your children, you should take advantage of getting this amazing cake balls maker and to complete the set, get the baby cakes dual chocolatier as well.

Location Is Still the Number One Success Factor

If you are looking to move your retail place of business to Texas, you will need to find the right place for your shop. One place that can help is hi-reit.com. Whether a majority of your business is online or through brick and mortar locations, your number one concern before opening is location, location, location. In the real world, you will need someone to help you find the perfect location. Online, you need a strong SEO presence.

SEO

In the virtual world of the Internet, the location that you are looking for is on the top of the first page of every search engine results for the words that signify what your company does. If you sell books and someone types in a search query for “books,” you want your website to be at the top of the page. That doesn’t happen by accident. Websites that get to the top of the search engine results are sites that meet the criteria of the search engine algorithm. These algorithms are kept secret, so there is some guess work involved for everyone who is looking for search engine optimization (SEO). However, companies that specialize in SEO are able to make educated guesses as to what works to get your website on that first page.

Hard Copy

Your physical location, if it is open to the public, also needs to have the correct location. A bookstore located in the warehouse district probably will not receive a lot of foot traffic. People will have to know that it is there and then make a conscious decision to go out there. Then they have to brave the warehouse district, which has a poor reputation in every town. Successful businesses do their homework when it comes to figuring out which location will work best for them. A real estate company like hi-reit.com might be helpful because they will know the local area better than you do. They may have also already done the studies as to which retail locations will work best for which businesses. Location, location, location is still the mantra of successful businesses everywhere.

College Life: Student, Working Scholar and Glee Club

College is the most exciting and interesting years of my life. I was working in the main library in the University and attending classes in between. At 7 PM, library is closed but; I am not ready to go home yet. My extra-curricular activity will start at 8 PM so; I have the time to have dinner before my Glee Club practice begins.

Music brings peace amidst my hectic schedules as a student and my role as a working scholar in the library. I was never tired. At the most, we have two hours practice at the Little Theater. I missed those days. When we were early and waiting for our most beloved conductor, we will just randomly pick a song and sings Acapella. When someone started to hum a song, others would make their own voices creating one beautiful harmony of music. We have microphones just like the mxl 991 at musician's friend and only the soloist will use them. Our voices are loud enough for the entire theater. I always cherish the years while I was in college. The Glee Club serves as the balance between my work and student life.

Camote Cue and Banana Smoothie for Snacks

This is my favorite snacks, camote cue (sweet potato with caramelized light brown sugar) and banana smoothie. I usually deep fry the sweet potato first and put them on hot skillet, no oil and sprinkle the light brown sugar. It will eventually caramelized. Once the sugar sticks to the sweet potato then, its all set. I used the Magic Bullet for my banana smoothie. My banana smoothie ingredient: one banana, ice cube, milk and no sugar, I like it like that. Well, sometimes I add 1 sweet n' low :-) This snack fills me up until dinner time.
