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...

Bataan’s Best Tinapang Kapak or Banak and Amanda's Dried Herring Tuyo in Corn Oil



Mom Violy wasn't content with her smoked fish. There was something else she wanted to find. Mom Vioy asked her daughter to look if she can find Tinapa Kapak Fish. Mom Violy kept telling Carmina it is not dried. 

Carmina couldn't seem to understand what the fish was that mom Violy was looking for but didn't stop her to look for it.

Carmina had searched online to see what is the Tinapa Kapak was and how does it even look like to figure it out.

Mom Violy keeps telling Carmina I always purchase at the Public Market in Balanga, Bataan when we're able to go out.

Yet, Carmina still couldn't understand what Mom Violy was referring too. Carmina had shared from other sellers who have sold the fish she had mentioned.

Mom Violy kept saying that is not the one or maybe no one sells it online.

Next day came around and Carmina went ahead to dig harder to see if she can find what Tinapa Kapak was somewhere else.

Guess what?

Carmina was able to find it from a clear mind the person who sold the Tinapang Kapak or Banak is from Foodiva Online Lazada Philippines.

Reason why Carmina had a hard time finding it for one thing the name Mom Violy was incorrect. Mom Violy had to write it down for her to remember when the time comes in the future.

Foodiva Online Lazada Philippines has noted the Bataan’s Best Tinapang Kapak or Banak sold for 500 grams for PHP 250.00 ($3.00) not including shipping and handling.



The best part the Tinapang Kapak or Banak is vacuum sealed being delivered to your location.

Mom Violy wanted to purchase other items sold from Foodiva Carmina had shared it to her in Facebook Messenger to do her own shopping.

Mom Violy wanted to try the Amanda's Tuyo in corn oil that comes in a bottle sold for PHP 125.00 ($2.50).





Everything had arrived being wrapped up in newspaper to prevent smelling during the process being delivered to your location.

The best part nothing was broken during the process arriving at your location. It was well wrapped with packaging tape.

Mom Violy is happy that in the meantime she can't go out Carmina can still purchase the fish she loves to eat.
