Early Spring?

We are back on our routine after our trip from the Philippines. This year, I must say we were prepared to deal with jet lag. We are fully recovered and back to our sleeping routine within a week unlike two to three weeks last year. Thank goodness for early Spring?  It has been sunny this week and temperature reached up to 70F degrees. Here are a few things I'd like to share with you this week.


On Tuesday, I finally used the spa gift certificate given to me on my birthday last year. I figure I should use it before it expires. This is the only time when one can say complacency pays off. If you reside in Hilton Head or planning a visit this summer stop by at the Indulge Spa.  I indulged in their Therapeutic massage, which involves some basic breathing. The massage therapist and the service were very good all in all.


If you love Vietnamese food there is one in Bluffton, Saigon Cafe same entrance as Jade Garden. The food is decent and affordable. But, a better one can be found in Savannah called Saigon Flavors. I would recommend the latter one if you want authentic Vietnamese food.

There are new items available at my Etsy shop. Check-out the headbands made with felt, on the center are sewn sequins. Colors are very festive in welcoming Spring and Mardi Gras this year. Expect more designs from Clipits Hairbows And More.

Lastly, I finally found a Bento-box. Having a curious toddler, you have to be creative not only at playtime but with serving food. And, there goes in some pasta, baked chicken, corn and yellow squash beautifully decorated in the Bento-box. I got Olivia's at Marquee mall in the Philippines but you can order one from Amazon. It's fun and easy clean up later on.

So, could this be the start of Spring in the Low Country? I hope so.
