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.

Did you know you can travel even if you are at your home?


When you cannot travel your friends calls you up during a video call while she is in a car traveling somewhere other than her home you get to experience being in your home but you can also be seeing the view from the outside of the car.

Your friends always make you feel special when they know your situation in your life when you are not able to go outside so they call you up to keep their time in the car as you have a conversation with them as you experience seeing places outside their video you notice how bumping the ride is from the reflection of the moving up and down.

Your friend laughs not realizing you can see it from your end so matter if you are like me and you have friends who wants to share the same experience like them anything is possible through video call because where you are you can still see the outside.



One time my friend called me up when she was in her backyard of her home and she had decided to call me up through video call and I was telling my friend can I see the sun from the back so we decided to take a picture pretending I was looking at the sun at her back.

Just being bored like me as we talk to our friends we can have a sense we can also be outside temporary through video call.

Try calling up a friend and enjoy taking some pictures together even if we cannot go out we can still take pictures.
