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.

Teaza Milk Tea Philppines


Carmina was craving Filipino taho, the kind we usually buy from vendors outside our home. Being stuck at home during the lockdown, we started looking for alternatives to satisfy our cravings.

While browsing Grab Food, Carmina searched for "taho" on the app and stumbled upon Teaza Milk Tea. They offered a unique Taho and Brown Sugar Slush that piqued her curiosity, especially since it was part of their Soy Series.

This new drink is available in two sizes: small for PHP 114.00 ($2.28) or large for PHP 138.00 ($2.76). You can customize the sweetness level too, choosing from 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25%.


Carmina is enjoying her Taho and Brown Sugar Slush, which has made her too full to eat dinner, but that’s perfectly fine.

Vanilla Milk Tea is available in Medium for PHP 90.00 ($1.80) or Large for PHP 102.00 ($2.04). Choose your tea type—Assam or Oolong—and customize the sugar level to your liking.


It’s merienda time for Carmina, the perfect snack break between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM before dinner. Our favorite treat is fries, available in flavors like Cheese, Sour Cream, and Barbecue. You can get a Solo for PHP 78.00 ($1.56) or Sharing for PHP 132.00.
