Welcome back to my small kitchen, where I’m putting my ILO Air Fryer to the test in this Cooking Vlog!
🌟 I'm thrilled to share my latest unboxing vlog with you all, and this one is perfect for anyone who loves cooking, especially in small spaces! In this video, I unbox some newly-purchased kitchen essentials that will make cooking in my tiny condo kitchen so much easier and more fun. Living the #microliving lifestyle means being smart about what tools and gadgets I use, and I’m always on the lookout for items that are functional, space-saving, and stylish. Let’s dive into the exciting kitchen finds I recently added to my collection!
First up is the Oil Pump Sprayer, which is perfect for evenly spreading oil on pans without making a mess. This little gadget is a must-have for anyone who loves to cook but wants to keep things light and healthy. Instead of pouring too much oil, the sprayer helps you control the amount of oil you use, making it great for everything from salads to air-fried dishes. It’s sleek, easy to use, and takes up minimal space on my counter—ideal for #microliving.
Next, I unboxed the Cooking Syringe and the Egg Beater. The cooking syringe is such a handy tool, especially for those of us who love injecting flavor into our meat dishes, like marinades for chicken or beef. It’s small but packs a punch when it comes to enhancing your meals. The egg beater, on the other hand, is a simple yet effective tool that saves me time when whipping up eggs for breakfast or mixing batters for baking. Its compact design means it fits perfectly in my small kitchen drawer, ready to grab whenever I need it.
Lastly, I couldn’t resist getting a Pepper and Salt Grinder and a Sauce Dispenser Bottle. These two items are not only functional but also add a bit of style to my kitchen setup. The grinders allow me to freshly grind spices, enhancing the flavors of my dishes, while the sauce dispenser is perfect for keeping my sauces organized and easy to pour. All of these items are essentials for anyone living in a small space, and they prove that even the tiniest kitchens can be functional and beautiful. Check out my full unboxing vlog and let me know what kitchen gadgets you love to use in your own #microliving setup!

🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:There’s nothing inherently wrong with being proud of what we’ve achieved. In fact, I believe we should take moments to celebrate our hard-earned victories. Whether it's academic success, career milestones, or personal growth, accomplishments reflect dedication, effort, and resilience. However, when we let our pride turn into excessive flexing, we create a narrative that makes perfection the goal. This pressure can be overwhelming, both for ourselves and those watching, and it leads to unrealistic expectations that no one can live up to. We start to believe that success means never making a mistake—and that’s where the problem lies.
The reality is, no matter how successful or educated we are, everyone makes mistakes. Being accomplished doesn’t grant us immunity from error. When we put too much emphasis on showing off our achievements, we place ourselves in a position where even the smallest slip-up can overshadow everything else. It’s as if society expects flawless performance from those who have reached a certain level of success. But the truth is, everyone, no matter how successful, is human. We all have our moments of failure, and that’s okay.
What’s important is finding a balance between confidence and humility. We should absolutely take pride in our achievements, but we must also remain humble and accept that we’re not perfect. True confidence comes not from pretending to be flawless but from acknowledging our imperfections and learning from them. When we embrace our mistakes as part of the learning process, we demonstrate resilience and maturity, showing that success isn’t about avoiding failure but about growing through it.
Rather than tearing people down for their mistakes, we should start recognizing that accomplishments and flaws can coexist. Just because someone is successful in one area doesn’t mean they won’t make a mistake in another. Our worth isn’t defined by a single error or achievement but by our overall journey. We need to be more forgiving, both of ourselves and others, when things don’t go perfectly. When we show empathy and understanding, we create a more supportive environment that encourages growth rather than perfectionism.
The truth is, life is about progress, not perfection. We’re all on our own unique paths, constantly evolving and learning along the way. Mistakes are simply part of that process. They don’t define who we are or what we’re capable of achieving. If we can shift our mindset from focusing on perfection to embracing the balance between success and failure, we can live more fulfilling lives, free from the pressure of unrealistic expectations.
In the end, it’s about recognizing that we’re all human. We’re allowed to be proud of our accomplishments, but we should never forget that our flaws are part of what makes us who we are. By learning to accept both sides of the coin, we can live with more authenticity and less fear of judgment. So let’s celebrate our wins, embrace our imperfections, and remember that success and failure go hand in hand. That’s where real growth happens, and that’s what makes life truly meaningful.
In this episode of my #CookingVlog, I’m thrilled to share two of my favorite shrimp recipes: #SinigangHipon and #ButteredShrimp.

Living in a condo in the Philippines, it’s important to have reliable appliances, and this unexpected breakdown was a hassle. Thankfully, the repair process was smooth thanks to the brand’s customer service.
