Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Sweet news: the Limited-Edition Baby Monster Oreo with marshmallow creme is here — want a bite of this spooky-cute twist?

Carmina went grocery shopping with Mom Violy at Robinsons Magnolia last week. I bought the Oreo just because it looked interesting, having no idea who Baby Monster was at the time.  After getting home, I took some videos and pictures, edited my video, and later discovered on social media that it’s a popular band in South Korea that collaborated with Oreo. Sometimes we learn new things without realizing what we’ve purchased is trending—people often buy the cookies just for the card inside. Carmina only discovered it by posting on her YouTube channel.

Fresh air, zero power: the eco-friendly dehumidifier that quietly banishes dampness and mildew.

After renovating your home, you may notice a stuffy smell, and it seems like allergies are triggered by the changes in your environment. Carmina saw many trending videos about dehumidifiers that don’t require electricity. With so many brands available, the best way to find out what works is to test them yourself. You can even choose a scent for your home if desired. Personally, I wasn’t looking for any scent; I just wanted to clear the air I breathe daily. I also preferred buying a set since it seemed like an easier and more cost-effective option for adding one to each room. Carmina ordered a set from ClearAire Philippines , finding a pack of four pieces of Activated Charcoal for 318.00 pesos ($5.39), excluding shipping and handling.  Instructions: First, remove the black cover and peel off the aluminum foil, then place the black cover back on top. This prevents anything from coming out of the container and stops anyone, especially children and pets, from consuming what’s inside. I...
