Our Farm Journey Is Now on YouTube!

 Hello friends! I have something exciting and close to my heart to share with you — I’m officially on YouTube! This isn’t just about starting a channel; it’s about sharing a dream that my family and I are living every single day.

A few months ago, we took a big leap of faith and bought a beautiful piece of farmland. For us, it wasn’t just land — it was a vision, a new beginning, and a chance to create something meaningful together. We wanted a place where life slows down, where we could grow our own food, and where every sunrise feels like a blessing.

Now, we’re building an integrated farm filled with coconuts, mangoes, bananas, Red Lady papayas, and so many other fruits. We’re hands-on in every step — from clearing the land to planting seedlings to watching them grow. There’s something so fulfilling about working with the soil and seeing life flourish right in front of your eyes.

But farming isn’t always easy. There are long days under the sun, unexpected challenges, and moments that test your patience. Yet, every little victory — like seeing the first papaya fruit or enjoying fresh coconut water — makes all the hard work worth it.

That’s why I started my YouTube channel: to share this journey with you. I want to show you the beauty of farm life, the lessons we learn every day, and the joy that comes from living simply and purposefully. On my channel, you’ll find videos that inspire and uplift, stories that connect, and moments that remind us to appreciate life’s simple pleasures.

This isn’t just about farming; it’s about creating a life filled with passion, impact, and freedom — and building a community that feels like home.

I would love for you to join me on this adventure! Subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@KirstieFuentes

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s grow, learn, and celebrate the little things that make life truly beautiful.

LEMON YELLOW BAG

I’m back! Pairing one of my favorite bag that I got from Christmas. I love how the lemon yellow pops against my outfits in a very harmonious way.

I can’t pinpoint a specific personal style but I love pieces that are structured and classic. My personal style changes according to mood. It shifts every now and then with my mood and the weather, but overall, I like to keep it look timeless, girly, youthful, sophisticated and fresh.

Each time that I decide what to wear, I consciously or unconsciously go through a decision – making process. My mood may affect my clothing choices for the day. If I am happy and cheerful, I may reach for bright, bold colors that reflect the way that I feel. If I am feeling down, I may unconsciously select a darker color.

These are the clothes that I turn to and always enjoy wearing. Sometimes clothes can help change my mood, too. For example, on a day when I am feeling down, wearing a bright color or my favorite outfit may lift my spirits a bit. It gives me a sense of comfort and security.

My lemon yellow bag play a big role in my outfits. So today I'm sharing some of my favorite modest, inexpensive and stylish outfits pairing with my lemon yellow bag.

MY EVERYDAY MAYBELLINE VELVET MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICKS

When I heard that Maybelline has come up with a cream-to-matte finish lipsticks and it’s on sale for Php299 price, from its regular Php349 price tag. I was too excited to go on store to see their new product of matte lipsticks. Since then, I’ve been starting eyeing for the 9 shades of Maybelline Velvet Matte Liquid Lipsticks namely; Mat1, Mat2, Mat5, Mat6, Mat8, Mat9, Mat10, Mat11 and Mat12. I read several reviews of these 9 shades from other bloggers as well before buying the shades that I will like.

I finally ended up getting Mat1, Mat10 and Mat12. I was too excited to try these 3 shades of lippies and see if they’re really works for me. I thought I might not like the finish and would end up wasting another tube of liquid lipstick again and my money as well but it’s not! I was wrong.

MY BUCKET LIST JOURNEY

My friend invited me to create my own bucket list. So, here it is!

This is my bucket list where I list all the things I want to do, feel, experience, see and achieve before I die. ;) It is continuously being altered, updated, contemplated and rejuvenated, much like me.

You can click on the links of completed goals to read stories about my bucket list worthy experiences in travel, food, adventure and everything. Feel free to comment and make suggestions. This is very fun! I’m excited! ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Since a new star first appeared above Bethlehem, Christmas has been a season of light, reminding us that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Together, we can celebrate His birth by making the world a brighter place. All we have to do is follow Him—His life, His example, and His teachings. May we feel the love, peace, joy and fellowship with family and friends.
