Want to restore a 40-year-old decoration to its former glory? Try these simple, safe cleaning tricks that won’t damage the finish.

Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into  Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.  I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her. Mom Violy questioned why she was taking it, and I said I would clean it and return it.  I noticed Mom Violy had placed planting seeds inside the decoration, for reasons I didn’t understand.

Dressing Up Your Mountain Bike with a Set of Rims


You would never know that a mountain bike also needs rims for their added feature to make their bike different than others. We have known people who have money that love to fix up their grown up toy to the next level by having new upgraded features added to their mountain bike.

I am not into this item but someone at home is into these types of stuff and when you show me a part that can upgrade your mountain bike to look expensive and to add something different based on an ordinary mountain bike you would think when they stop adding new features.

In the Philippines people like to put their money or saving on their grown up bike to dress it up. 

I even have known friends who own more than one mountain bike to them it is based on what color, style they feel like riding on the day they feel like riding a bike.

We know other people like to match their clothing from head to toe while these people are almost the same way just they are matching their cycling clothes with their helmet, gears and of course their favorite grown up toy to make everything prefect for them.

To these people they feel one mountain bike is not enough to add on to their collection some even collect MTB just for a hobby and don't use it just for display.

There are some people who love to just fix up mountain bikes and sell it later with a profit from the expenses they made of from the bike.

There are other people who really cycle for the fun and as well we have the professional who does it for a living and compete in their area.
