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. Before cleaning it, I checked online to see what was needed, knowing its value. I placed a towel underneath, prepared a plastic container with dishwas...

Pro & Con’s from Phone Updates

 


Every once in awhile your phone will ask to be updated and there are some Pro and Con’s in having it done especially from any phone we have when we purchase our new phone we need to get comfortable in the new functions that is added in what we are not aware of its feature and the usage of each application.

The Pro is there are new added features in your phone just like what is offered in the new phones in the market for example my phone is a Samsung when there is a new phone on the market the same features are added on my phone from the last year generation.

How do you know when something is added on your phone there will be a letter “N” or a Dot in color Red to indicate there is something new added on your phone in each settings and application on your phone will show once you are exploring to see what are the new changes.

Example:

In this picture on the right side next to the light bulb there is a small red dot to indicate there is a new item added on your phone.


The new changes are added on your contact list which now has an Identification caller to protect yourself from people who are scamming and protects you from suspicious people trying to get a hold of you.

The camera also has a new feature when you plan to take a video there is Pro Video added and its feature shows in the screen shot.



There is a new feature for the mic for your phone something to learn to use as new things are being added to your phone.


You can now stabilizer your video which is cool no need to buy a handheld to do it for you and you can save money.


The Con is that you need to adjust yourself over again to the new features for those who are not the type to adapt to the new changes you will have a difficult time using your phone over again to the point you are too frustrated to the new changes.

This is one thing my mom always asked me to do for her when I am updating her phone she will ask me step by step what she need to learn from her new updates.

Sometimes when you update your software you cannot put it back how you are use to using your phone you need to learn over and over again until you understand how your phone works all over again.
