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...

Carmina's Review on Bread Pocket Café

Carmina went on a bread venture, searching for a new place to order her bread. Sometimes we get tired of ordering from the same place, especially when on a diet, and feel the urge to explore other options. It took me quite a while to decide what type of bread I wanted this time. I ended up choosing a variety to have more options for making sandwiches. A half baguette costs PHP 44.00 ($0.92). Considering the size, the price is reasonable. The baguette is softer than others I've tried before, which is a great advantage, especially for keeping bread fresh at home longer. I removed it from the packaging, sliced it in the middle, and opened it on the side to make sandwich preparation easier. Then, I placed it in a clear plastic container with a lid to keep it fresh at home. My favorite bread has always been Ciabatta. For PHP 44.00 ($0.92), it’s big for its price, soft, and absolutely enjoyable. The inside is moist and fluffy, and since it’s quite large, I usually can only eat half at a ...
