About Me

Hi hi!

I’m Regine and I'm just a girl doing her best to juggle all the things: teaching wonderful pre-teen humans, renting my cozy space, being a devoted animal mom, proud outfit-repeater, and vacation daydreamer… all while attempting not to break the bank. 

• I am proudly a Filipina American who loves living in the midwest.
• I’ve been a 3rd grade teacher and am now a special education resource teacher, with five years of teaching under my belt.
• I love cooking! I enjoy cooking a lot of Filipino and Asian meals, loads of soups and protein+fiber filled meals.
• My favorite Filipino foods: Sinigang na Baboy, Pancit Canton, Kare-Kare, and Ginataang Hipon.
• My Favorite Soups: Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese, Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, Lasagna Soup, Wonton Soup, Phở... I really like soup.
• Protein+Fiber Meals: Shrimp Orzo Pasta, Enchilada Bowl, Hot Honey Bowl, Protein Vodka Pasta, and and pretty much anything served in a bowl.

• I have 2 cats named Raine (Gray Tabby) and Rumble (Black Tuxedo - he has a little white bowtie.) They are a bonded pair of siblings who have been adopted from Sunrise Center Animal Rescue! Check them out if you're willing to adopt or contribute to helping animals find furever homes!
