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.

Goodbye 2020 and Hello 2021

 


Everyone realize what 2020 has done to them after they have experience a brutal experience that has happen in their life.

I’ve always say treasure the people surrounded around you a circle of a family that doesn’t have to be blood related.

Life has an impact of what all of us has experience during our covid-19 the life changes that make us realize what we have and what others have experience if all this didn’t happen to us.

Year 2021 we have hoped to make new changes of what you’re able to take the time to realize what you want to do in your life with no more regrets.

We had a lot of time to think during our pandemic months. It is time to stop procrastinate and move on to what you’ve always wanted to do with your life.

I’ve always been spending time with my mom even before all this happen. I am the only daughter she has to rely upon due to my other sister living in California.

Even though we are a part my sister and her family would always make time to call her virtual or by phone.

Changes have been made and my mom was able to learn to do virtual calls although you may only see half of her face but people learn to try new things when our life start to give you challenges in your life pattern.

Just like in our home a few days before New Year’s Eve an employee decided to quit we didn’t stop her from leaving.

I have been helping taking the place of that person to help Manang V in the kitchen while someone has taken the slot of Gina who has left.

You realize to make a house balance to support the people around you and no matter what situation you’re in we try to make the atmosphere in a good mood even though how tired we feel.

From our life struggles, challenges we have all become a stronger person and prepared for 2021 for a much better year for all of us.
