Hey Everyone, its me Lara from The Fit Crafter PH and today's post is craft related.

Last year I wrote about this amazing craft shop I "found" while at an event back in summer 2014 in Bacolod's 888. OkiDoki Craft shop SPOTTED <--- read it here.
And now I am so stoked to let ya'll know that your favourite, #1 one stop craft shop in Bacolod has now expanded and branched out to a much bigger space to cater to your crafting frenzies.  Yes! That is right! a 2nd much BIGGER OkiDoki store!!

Since the first store was getting smaller for the items and stocks they currently offer, it was about time for them to make more room. So armed with determination and will, capital and 6 months of prep work, your favourite place to get paper tapes, pen sets, burlap and 3d letters now has a great new, bigger place to offer you craft junkies personalized name plates, martha stewart punches, more imported craft supplies and your most requested chalkboard paint and mod podge! Isn't that AMAZING!!! Their greatest joy during this expansion was seeing the store coming to life one day at a time.

Here are a few photos I took during their soft opening along side 888 Premier's soft opening as well.

I was reading an article last night on lifehack.org  titles "30 goals you should set for yourself before turning 30" and one of the points stated there was "COMPLETE THE INTEGRITY CHALLENGE"
Basically you choose one task that is ideally a bit uncomfortable for you like jogging or something, then determine the time frame (e.g.30 days) and then just do your thing to every single day without failing once until your arrive at the finish line. I have been thinking about this since last night and I remembered a friend of mine who is basically on an integrity challenge as well and I decided its about time I went back to consistently challenging myself in health and fitness. So I decided to re tackle the 21 day Junk Food Free Challenge.

Back in Thinspirational Journey I posted this challenge, so now I am going to repost it here as well for all your Fit Crafters out there.

Meatless Monday is a weekly start to a Healthier America (WORLD) and a Healthier You! By eating  less meat and fatty dairy foods, you will be cutting your main source of unhealthy saturated fat. More importantly, you’ll make room on your plate for healthier foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
Just one day a week – Give it a try!

FACT:

On average, Americans eat 84
pounds more meat per year than
recommended by the American Heart
Association

“Use plant foods as the foundation of your meals”

Try to eat TWO servings each

week of fatty fish, such as salmon,

mackerel, sardines, herring and

rainbow trout. Another good

source is ground flaxseed or

flaxseed oils.

Avoid foods with ‘hydrogenated’

or “partially-hydrogenated” in the

first few ingredients on the

nutrition label.

School today was highly stressful so I decided to make something crafty today yet again. 
Remember all those stickers I printed out. I needed somewhere to place them, but the thing is sticker albums are the thing of the past. So I dug through my craft materials I've been hoarding and then I found some things that I thought could be used to make a make shift sticker album or page. 

So I started tracing, cutting and washifying everything together. 
And since I'd love to have the stickers with me where I go. I turned them into filofax inserts (personal sized) 

Here is what I came up with. 

So as I was in the process of checking my planner for today, I saw that I needed more stickers and I was too lazy to go out and buy some, so I decided to go to the gold mine of everything DIY, Pinterest and looked for some stickers I'd like to print out for personal use (ONLY).

The nice things about getting free things online from the planner community is that they do give it for free as long as you don't sell it, just use it for personal use.

Anyway so I spend two hours searching, printing, and cutting these babies.
