Mumpreneurship

Recently, I was featured in Vibes, a quarterly published community magazine, alongside 4 other amazing mumpreneurs living in the same area. Even though all 5 of us come from different backgrounds, have different ambitions and in different line of work, the one thing we can all unanimously agree on is that being a mumpreneur entails on being a mother first before our work undertakings.

I believe we thrive on the flexibility that our role offers, which allow us to give our utmost best to our family and what we are passionate about pursuing, at the same time. Over time and perseverance, we are each at where we want to be (and more!) which makes raising our families' and running a business, a very meaningful journey to hold on to.

Zooming in on my write up! but please believe me, I didn't endorse myself as a 'popular mum blogger'. It was purely the perception of the magazine's interviewer.

At the blink of an eye, it has already been 11 years since I ventured into providing handmade jewelry service online. To find out more about what I have been up to all these years, you can read more about my journey as a jewelry crafter here.

Watermelon Cooler

The weather has been really hot and humid lately. You know it. When it reaches it's peak especially in the afternoon, all I dream of is plunging into a swimming pool and soak myself silly in the cool water for as long as I can. But the public pool is not very near where I live and I figure that by the time I decide to pack and go, I would have completely lost interest in wanting to go there in the first place!

While surfing through wonderful inspirational photos on pinterest the other day, I came across plenty of delicious-thirst-quenching watermelon coolers which would totally mimic a trip to the pool. (excuses, I know) So I told my husband that hey! I'm gonna make us some tomorrow! He was all for it!

There are so many variations of a watermelon cooler out there so I decided to do the simplest one, just to try it out. This is an adult drink, as I have added rum in it. But it's always an optional step if you want to make it for the kids.

Preparation time : 4 minutes  Serves : 2

Ingredients :
- seedless red watermelon, sliced into chunks and chilled (3 cups)
- 3 calamansi lime juice (or 1 more if you like the lime flavor!)
-1/4 rum (optional)
- A little sugar to taste (or your preferred sweetener)

Method :

Place the watermelon chunks, lime juice and rum into a blender and blitz till smooth. Add sugar to taste and another round of quick blitz, if needed.

Serve and be quench-i-fied!

Till the next post, have a wonderful day!
