Plastic Tale Straw String

My mom ask me to look for some plastic tale straw string that they use here in the grocery store when they place it inside a box to hold our merchandise that we have purchase. Sometimes other stores make it out of a handle a way for us to carry what we have brought from the store. We're not allowed to go out and there is no way for me to give the plastic tale straw string packing/wrapping for my mom to use for her gardening. I decided to look online to see where I can have it purchase for my mom. I was able to find  EZ Department Store  Online Shopping Shopee Philippines for PHP 35.00 ($0.70) for 15 meters. The store gave me two pieces to make it 15 meters right now my mom said her garden look like a Christmas tree all her plastic tale straw string is all different colors.

Lazy Invisible Belt

  I am not the type who likes wearing a belt because every time I have tried wearing one for some reason in the front. I feel I look at the buckle of the belt makes your waist bigger than it is not. The disadvantage often when you need to go to the restroom you need to unbuckled the belt and put it back on. It gets tiresome to do it often. There was something that caught my eye one day at Facebook someone post an advertisement on a buckle free belt called Lazy Invisible Belt made of canvas with different color and styles to choose from. I saw the pictures it made me think I can buy a pair or two to see if it would work for me. I didn't buy from the advertisement.

Pranela Pajama

Living in our home everyday make us just wear pajama that puts comfort in what we wear there is no need to dress up each day. Those who are much bigger than a free size often sold in the Philippines is difficult to find when you're on a budget. The fact finding the right material how it is made with the right texture making sure the fabric doesn't shrink after you've washed it several times. I only prefer to wear pranela cloth. I like it being soft on your skin and not being thin that you're pajama is not see through makes it prefect to wear when you're in an air-conditioned room. I don't like my pajama tight sticking to my skin. I prefer them loose to still move around inside. I was able to find  Majinjooo  Online Shop Shopee Philippines for Pranela Pajama 2XL Plus Size PHP 150.00 ($3.00). There are pockets on the side or back pockets to determine which is the front and back of the pajama pants. Tip: Remember the sizes that are locally made in the Philippines a...

Helping Manang V with the Clothes Pins

Two days ago Manang V had asked if I had any clothes pins to hold on a garment that needed to be hung after being laundry. Manang V felt if she hung it the clothing would fall off hung outside in our backyard. I told Manang V I've already used up all the clothes pins. I decided to purchase some clothing clips in order for Manang V to feel she can use it when she does her laundry again. I was able to find a seller selling for one kilo worth of clothes pins sound great having a lot in handy for Manang V and I. Today the clothes pins had arrived. Manang V gave me her where she has a hanging hanger to hold on her items. I saw it was missing a lot of clothes pins no wonder Manang V was so worried hanging her garments outside. Manang V didn't know how too attach the clothes pins to the hanger she gave me. I had used a thick thread and knot it while I was adding the clothes pins to each area where it was missing. Manang V no longer has to worry hanging garments outside for those who w...
