Crochet Bags


Mix the pattern from crochet bags and amigurumi (crochet stuffed animals or dolls), I made these cute small bags that can be used for lunch, snack, goodies, or storage yarns and other craft things. There are many free patterns that can be found on Pinterest, such as how to crochet small bags, amigurumi, ears, nose, etc. Also, you can find videos that teach you step by step on how to make those cute eyes and more on youtube. It is easy to make, but need some patient and time to finish :)

Kale and Broccoli salad


Here is another healthy salad recipe that I love. I had Super Food salad at one of the fast food restaurant. It tastes so refreshing and I cannot stop eat it. But it is kind of expensive the amount they served. I googled on web and found this copy cat recipe so that I can make my own with much cheaper cost. It is so easy and simple to make. It is much tasty if you set in the refrigerator for overnight.


Simple ingredients: (as shown on the pictures above)

  • kale leaves, precut ones or cut into bite sizes
  • broccoli, cut into small sizes
  • cranberries and nuts (optional)



  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 table spoons maple syrup
  • honey
  • pinch of salt


Easy to make:

  1. Combine vinegar, olive oil and maple syrup in a mason jar with cover. Shake few times until well blend.
  2. Mix kale, broccoli and cranberries in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle some salt, drizzle some honey, then pour some mixed dressing over. 
  3. Mix all well and set in the refrigerator overnight or few hours. This salad is good for 1-2 days for the best taste.

Detox Drink with milk 治痛风的偏方


I got this Chinese remedy from my brother when I visited in China. The main ingredients are fresh celery juice and milk...very simple! When I first time heard about the ingredients, I thought it may taste weird. But after I tasted, it is very refreshing. Then, I add some cucumber and green bell pepper juice in it...much more better. This drink is for people who have gouty arthritis and it works for my brother. I drink this very morning with empty stomach for a while, it keeps my body clean and BM regular, smooth clean and no pimples. I'd like to share with all to keep more people healthy and enjoy life.

It is very simple and easy to make this drink. I use Magic Bullet or juicer to mix everything together. No measurement need. Just put in the amount as you desired. I do not like the pulps, so I filter them into a smooth texture drink.

Remember, must mix with milk for better result, not with water.
