Hallmark x 7-Eleven’s Holiday Collaboration

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Bring love and joy this Christmas through Hallmark x 7-Eleven’s holiday collaboration

The air is chilly, the mood is merry, and the lights are out and sparkling. What a joy it is to have the holidays upon us once again. This is the time to give back and share the love and blessings we have received this year, as it is what the true spirit of Christmas is.

This Christmas, Hallmark is inviting you to celebrate the season with the gift of love and care. In hopes to bring holiday cheer to street children, Hallmark is partnering with PhilSeven Foundation, convenience store 7-Eleven’s charity arm, through ‘Gulong ng Karunungan’ (GNK) project. This is a mobile school project that aims to provide education to the less fortunate street children of select local cities in the Philippines. Over the past years, GNK has helped augment the learning, supplemental feeding, and basic medical needs of over 2,000 disadvantaged youth, comprised mostly of out-of-school children and informal settlers from identified city beneficiaries.

Moreover, you as a customer can be a part of this jolly project. With every purchase of Hallmark Christmas products such as their Gift Wrappers, Gift Bags, Gift Tags and other Christmas products from 7-Eleven, a portion of the sales will be donated directly to support GNK project.

Make this season shine by celebrating it, too, with people outside your home. And when you care enough to give back, we believe that the smiles and joy of children in need are more than enough to warm your heart and make your Christmas, the merriest ever.

The first time I tried adding mushroom to our ordinary chicken pastel, nagustuhan talaga ng kids ko. And you what I like most about this recipe, ang bilis lutuin, ang dali gawin, and I can pair it with rice or pasta.

Mush Pork Giniling

This recipe is also from Jolly Eats FB Page, but instead of using whole mushrooms, I used yung Jolly pieces and stems variant. We love giniling with lots of veggies. When I tried adding mushroom, medyo nabigla ang mga kids but in the end, mas masarap daw!

Mush Egg Omelette

Instead of usual pork/ham on egg omelette, I decided to add Jolly Pieces and Stems Mushrooms . This one for me is the ultimate breakfast. This is what I usually prepare when my schedule is full and I need a heavy breakfast. It is packed with fiber and protein. A toast or fried rice is all it needs para game na game na magtrabaho si mommy.

Simple Christmas DIY Decors You Should Try This Coming Holiday

The holiday is approaching fast, and you wouldn’t want to be left behind when it comes to decorating your house. Moreover, while you might think that you need to spend a lot of cash on decorations but the truth is that there are lots of alternative ways that don’t involve a large sum of money. Moreover, if you are creative enough, then you might even create more beautiful Christmas decors compared to those that are being sold in the market. Below we have provided simple Christmas DIY decors you should try that will not only save you a lot of money but also makes your home look cheerful and lively.

Giant Christmas DIY Balls

If you have a lawn, then it’s perfect to have these giant Christmas balls all over the place. Either you hang them from your front porch and surrounding trees or just lay them on the ground, and they can easily make your home look gorgeous during the day. You don’t even have to leave your house to find the right materials. You can easily find giant plastic balls in some famous online shop and cover them with colorful craft papers. To make them noticeable during the night, you can wrap them with colorful Christmas lights.

Adorable Plastic Cup Snowman

Who says we can’t create snowman here in our country? Snowman is one of the most popular Christmas figures during this season and a must-have decor. But instead of using snow, we will be using white-colored plastic cups. Moreover, creating this kind of snowman can be done with the help of your kids. Once you’ve finished forming the cups into a snowman, you can put Christmas lights around him and place him on the porch. And since plastic cups are inexpensive, you can create more and place them all over your lawn.

Snowman Fridge

Probably most homes have their plain white fridge in the kitchen. If you have one, you can turn it into a snowman. To make it more fun, ask your kids to help you cut 2 large black circles for eyes, 3 medium black circles for his buttons, 5 small black circles his mouth, and lastly 1 orange triangle for his nose. Simply create the snowman image with those circles and place a red ribbon in the middle, and your snowman fridge is good to go.

Wall Mounted Christmas Tree

We all know that the Christmas tree eats up a lot of space inside the house, so why not try making a space-saver wall Christmas tree instead? This idea is very useful, especially for those who live in small apartments where they have very little floor space. To make it look similar to a regular Christmas tree, we recommend using artificial pine garland and some decors commonly used for Christmas trees. Feel free also to light it up with Christmas lights to make it more appealing to the eyes.

There are lots of excellent DIY ideas out there that don’t require you to spend too much. Just be creative, and don’t forget to have fun.
