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.

Turkey Breast Beretta vs Turkey Ham Amadori

I was able to do a comparison on Turkey Breast Beretta vs Turkey Ham Amadori from my observation and family members. You look close they have the same size, shape and color only difference the way it is trim on the side is quite different from each other. Growing up the life of parents owning a Subway Sandwiches you kind of know base on what taste better for you on the cold cuts you put on your own sandwiches. Turkey Breast Beretta Turkey Ham Amadori Over all the Turkey Breast Beretta is the winner by it's taste it is turkey meat even if there is a portion of ham in it. Turkey Ham Amadori has less taste on the turkey more on the ham by flavoring in the meat. There is only a little amount on price difference. Eating healthy comes with making your own meals at home by how you would like to add in your sandwich.

Stainless-Steel Steamer Cookware

The best part is to have a stainless-steel steamer in your home. We often use it when we are cooking Somai and frozen siopao purchase in the grocery store. It is easier to use and makes life easier for Manang V to cook in our kitchen. The stainless-steel steamer is three layers by adding water on the lower level.  We also use the stainless-steel steamer when we cook steam fish and vegetables. It is easy to clean and accessible to put away after being washed. I had purchased my stainless-steel steamer in  Shop at Los Ganadores  Lazada Philippines for PHP 458.00 ($9.16) not including shipping and handling. There is a third layer in this picture we are only using one. Giving you an ideal how it looks when being used on the gas stove. The siopao in the picture was purchase from Hen Lin separated from the stainless-Steel Steamer Cookware.
