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.

Carmina's Wellness - Lunch & Dinner Meals Cooked by Manang V

Shrimp Pad Thai in a Box Budget Meal

Carmina is on a budget since her salary hasn't arrived yet. Craving something different but still diet-friendly, she decided to add noodles to her meal. She came across Pad Thai in a Box on social media and checked out their offerings. Reviews mentioned the food was affordable and tasty. You can choose between Chicken or Shrimp for your Pad Thai. For less than PHP 300.00, including the Grab Food delivery fee, she thought, why not give it a try? Check out my video clip to see how the Shrimp Pad Thai in a Box looked when it arrived—packed in a paper bag for the Pad Thai and a plastic bag for the Thai Milk Tea. Carmina transferred the Shrimp Pad Thai from the box to check how much serving it would provide for a Budget Pad Thai Meal priced at PHP 235.00 ($4.70). Shrimp Pad Thai tastes amazing, and what people say about it is absolutely true. It's satisfying enough to be a full meal, especially for those on a budget, and it often comes with a refreshing Thai Milk Tea included. For y...
