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.

Cinnamon Soft Bread and Carrot Pandesal

Wanting to eat something healthy and less expensive on your bread is what I have enjoy purchasing products made by Baker John. My favorite is their Cinnamon Soft Bread. The best part is the price is not expensive reasonable to purchase for PHP 63.00 ($1.26). Cinnamon Soft Bread is not sweet and has raisin inside remind me of cinnamon roll but just a bread version. My first time trying their Carrot Pandesal known to be a good source of Vitamin A. The flavor is mild and can taste the carrot not over powering. The carrot pandesal is soft in texture can add something inside to make a sandwich or eat it alone. Carrot Pandesal is sold for PHP 53.00 ($1.06) for ten pieces. Not bad for the price there is an expiration date indicated otherwise enjoy your bread from Baker John local made in the Philippines. I had made my purchase in Shopwise Grocery Store through Metro Mart application.  During the past I was able to purchase it at any Robinson Grocery Store located in the bread aisle before...

Watch Out Being Scam from Magnolia Sweet Catimon

My mom has found ways to keep herself busy in her home. Even before when I was young living in California she had loved planting having a green thumb. To keep my mom preoccupied during her pandemic she has reunited from her favorite hobby.  My mom decided to plant a mango tree in her terrace. My mom found Green Meadow in the Facebook advertising with a video how it looked. My mom was very interested and wanted the same tree in her home. My mom doesn't know how to communicate with the person who was selling it. My mom asked me to do it for her. I began inquiring leaving a message in Green Meadow asking how to purchase the Magnolia Sweet Catimon (dwarf variety).  The person began letting me know they had a promo if I had purchase two different type of mango tree, but due to the space in my mom's terrace she is not allowed to plant something bigger than what she wanted. The seller whom I was communicating with asked me questions to answer name of the person, address to be deliver...
