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...

Duty calls Carmina's mom is asking for food to order the two weeks supplements this time her daughter recommended a new place to try. Carmina was able to give her mom three pieces of the creamy chicken empanditas to let her try last week. Carmina's mom liked it asked to order her more. Carmina decided to order for the twelve pieces we're small in size giving enough to eat for PHP 208.00 ($4.16). Carmina had mentioned to her mom about the fresh lumpia being PHP 175.00 ($3.50) tasting really good.

Chick n' Walfdorf Salad from Veggie Guys

You don't have veggies in your home Carmina went ahead and ordered her salad from Veggie Guys food that are all healthy for you. I remember a relative telling me she loves to order Walfdorf Salad in the United States while she was explaining the ingredients lettuce, apple, grapes, walnuts, celery and mayonnaise. I felt I wanted to try it too but in the Philippines only the vegan way. Carmina had placed her order through Grab application on her phone to have the rider pick it up for PHP 307.00 ($6.14) not including delivery fee and tip to the rider. Highlight the Chick n' Walfdorf is made of tofu and it does have the same ingredients I have mentioned in the beginning just it is sliced small. The Chick n' Walfdorf Salad taste different being vegan but nothing bad especially if you're use to eating plant based food. At least you can consider finding food when you're a vegetarian you won't have a hard time visiting or living in the Philippines. There are varieties o...
