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...

Ways of seniors to Water their Garden by Themselves



Due to my mom being a senior citizen and having no assistance when she is doing her gardening in her terrace. I asked my mom does she want to use a watering kettle to water her plants rather than going back and forth getting water in her home.

My mom has no access of using a hose due she is living in a condominium.

I asked my mom what she has been using to water her plants. My mom said she just goes back and forth using a tabu (large cup).

I went ahead and started giving my options how she doesn't need to go repeat enter her home and going to her terrace to get water.

My mom had two choices to either use a watering kettle or bucket that had a lid to leave in her terrace. 

I realize my mom is old and she won't be able to carry a heavy amount of water to bring back and forth. If my mom had a bucket to put her water and leave it in her terrace it seems easier to do it this way.

I was able to find a seller to get the needs of my mom for her gardening that she loves to do during her pandemic. The size was just right for her age to be not carrying a heavy load of water away to prevent her returning back and forth to her home.

I was able to find a seller from Online Shopee Philippines who was selling something my mom had in mind to make everything easier on her behalf from Lucas Houseware Collection for PHP 99.00 ($1.98) small Kendi bucket with lid color red not including shipping and handling.

We've decided to pick a color bucket a way to see it right away.

You reach a certain age your eye sight begin to change and to make it readable in the eyes of the senior citizen is to have a color they can identify what is in front of them.

Note:

I am not selling Kendal bucket or advertising for Lucas Houseware Collection just needed it for my mom's gardening needs.
