I just came across this board on pinterest about linens and laces. I love them! If men are into tools and Internal Tooth Lock Washer and the likes, I am into fabrics and linens and laces. I intend to collect various laces and pretty fabrics, too. I have been putting it off though as I don’t have a space to store them in the house. As much as I like them, I do hate clutter just as much. My mind seems to function so much better in a clean and clutter-free home.

I can only wish for some rain. In our part of the world, it still feels like summer, and at the peak of that. The weather is still unbearably hot, and no sign of rain. Good thing though as DH still hasn’t checked and cleaned our roofs in preparation for the rainy season. And what perfect time to come across the best way to clean roof stains. This would be a great help for us. And also I am itching to start my very own edible garden. Will try gardening in pots first since we don’t actually have space for an actual garden. And if everything goes well, who knows I might ask DH to dig up some space around here.

A very pretty craft space. I want something like this when I get back to the hobby that I first loved, sewing.

After attending and covering three kiddie parties for the past months, it’s only now that I get to prepare our gifts for the celebrants. I know, it’ quite late, but better late than never right? For the two girl celebrants, we got them doodle books. The first one had a music-themed party, but I hope she likes the book we got her. The most recent one had an art party and we got her a really nice doodle book as well. The last one was a boy and had a music-themed party too. If we were rich, I would have gotten him an electric drum set. But we’re not, so he is getting a book, as well.

This flower arrangement seems easy to do. Just a couple of nice bottles and a selection of flowers then we’re set. I think I can do this with artificial flowers as well. I just need to collect some nice bottles and a pretty tray.

Ever since I had a child, I have become more conscious about the food I prepare for the family, the things we use for ourselves like toiletries, the cleanliness of our place and even the cleaning products we use. I never realized that the cleaning products we were so used to using were toxic and bad for the environment, and more importantly to our health.
Thanks to the internet, I have collected several cleaning tips that are both harmless to us and friendly to the environment. Vinegar is one helpful tool that I personally use in the house, more specifically the kitchen. I use vinegar to clean our fridge. I also combine vinegar and water and soak our fruits in there to remove dirt. It can help get rid of ants as well. Baking soda is a staple as well. We have some placed inside the fridge to remove food odours. It works. I also read, but haven’t tried it yet though, that combining baking soda and salt is effective in cleaning up a stainless steel sink.
For the bathroom, we just use the ordinary dishwashing powder to clean the surfaces. I think that’s safer than using all those toxic cleaning products in the market. We use that too for mopping the floor.
The most recent type of cleaning I came across to is dry ice cleaning. Googling it, I learned that it’s a type of cleaning that uses dry ice which is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface in order to clean it. Unlike other types of cleaning, this one does not leave any chemical residue. It is most commonly used in cleaning food processor equipment and is really effective in getting rid of harmful microorganisms like salmonella and E. coli. There is one company that specializes in this type of cleaning. It’s Icetechworld.com. You can follow here to learn more about them.

Isn’t it so frustrating when an appliance that you can’t seem to live without suddenly breaks down? And what’s worse is you can’t seem to get hold of the store where you bought it or its repair center. And then when you personally go to the store, they will ask for your receipt which you have no idea where you placed it. You would rather spend on a new piece of appliance rather than go through the stress. Good thing there is an appliance service company, and fully authorized at that, that is easy to get in touch with. And they are experts on all the more popular brands of appliance in the market. No need to compile the contact details of each brand. Makes life so much easier, right?
