One of the most important part of the house is the bedroom and so I took time to search for an affordable yet quality bed. I considered two options, one is getting a spring type bed and the other one is to buy the foam type. I have used …

A $40 cake pan, my ‘careful’ hubby was distraught when I told him but after several uses I think I’ve convinced him that it was worth the money - not least because it’s saved us having to buy two birthday cakes so far, with another birthday (and giant cupcake) …

Washing cuffs and collars is not an easy task. Often, I am not sure that stains from make-up or dirt on these areas are removed completely in the washing machine unless I wash them by hand. That would mean however, a lot of soaking and scrubbing and so much …

I am immediately skeptical of any cleaning product that claims to do all the cleaning for you, without you having to make any effort at all. So anything calling itself ’scrub-free’ is a bit of a scam in my opinion. However, recently I bought and tried Scrub Free X-treme …
