I love lavender scent. I especially love it in my pillow or room spray. However, it is easy to mess up this scent, either making it too strong (which makes me sneeze) or too light (you can only smell it when it is sprayed). If blended correctly, a lavender …

I was in need of some strainers for this dish I was preparing. I needed a fine strainer and was looking for something that I could use for many dishes. I was not looking to spend a lot of money on the strainers and went to a local dollar …

I like writing articles in the evening. This helps my brain to absorb ideas because everyone from the family is sleeping, no sounds coming from the neighborhood; my pets are sleeping and no television or radio on. It is just me, my brain, my pad and pen and my …

We decided to put up some wallpaper to my mom’s room and of course aside from a good and nice wallpaper you also have to consider the paste that you will going to use. If its strong enough for the material, if it will give you a long lasting …

The machine is an …

When I bought my house I didn’t think much about it not having a dishwasher. I didn’t think about it until after I moved in and dishes were piling up in the sink and the days I would be standing over the sink for hours washing each dish …

I have a theory that dishwashing liquid manufacturers are watering down their product, because lately, every product I use, there is such a small amount of suds that I have to use twice as much product. I think it’s all a conspiracy to get the consumer to have to …

I enjoy the scents of Air Wick Fragrances so much, that I stock up on them everytime I go to Wal-Mart. They are only $2.46 a piece.

Ever since Febreze hit the market, it has been my favorite household helper! I especially like the Febreze Extra Strength that I currently use. I like that Febreze now offers this type of fabric refresher in a money-saving bulk option. I bought my regular Febreze spray bottle, but it …

Traditions in our family run deep and in accordance with my grandmother’s firm belief, it is never too soon to get ready for Christmas.

I have a lot of trees in my back yard and, because the previous homeowners didn’t take care of them or take the time to plan it so the trees weren’t so close together, they are overgrown into each other and full of dead branches.
Trimming the trees has always …

The last time I was at Wal-Mart, I needed trash bags, and after checking out the aisle, I decided to try out their house brand. I decided to do this because I was tired of the ones we were using, which was the Glad brand ForceFlex Bags.
I didn’t really …

Being a big fan of the Food TV Network, a few years back I got interested in cooking my holiday turkeys with a Turkey Fryer as I’d seen several of the celebrity chefs do on the Food TV channel. Both Emeril LaGasse and Paula Dean make it seem so …

One of the kitchen equipments that I had to replace was our bread toaster, which before Ondoy/Ketsana, served us in good stead for several years. I thought it was easy to just go to the mall and pick out a replacement.
There were not a lot of toasters to choose from …

When I became too lazy to use my Moulinex Genius food processor, I decided to buy this Kalorik hand mixer. I paid just € 10 for this which was a good price considering its multiple functions.

The Nu Wave Oven is by far the messiest and hardest thing to clean up I have ever used bar none. I got my Nu Wave Oven about two years ago because I’m tired of turning my oven on in the middle of hot summer days when I …

I messed around and killed my oven because I never cleaned it. I never really learned how to clean an Oven so it didn’t occur to me that over time, that it would need to be done. My husband finally said something when he tried to cook something in …

I recently decided to redesign my kitchen, and one of the major problems that came out of this endeavour was the fact that I had to replace nearly all of my electrical appliances in the kitchen since most of them didn’t match the new scheme. One of the things …

The pros of this cleaning product: I can spray mold or mildew, come back in 15 minutes or so, and it’s gone. All I have to do is wipe it with a wet sponge and rinse.
The cons of this product: I wonder if it’s a case of the …

Since I have no access to Body Shop’s Home Fragrance Oils, I decided to purchase air freshener spray. I stopped at one of the local stores which sells imported products. Of all the fragrance that were available, I picked “Lavender and Chamomile”. I really thought that this is a good …

I have to say, Simple Human is really good at making products that I want, whether I can afford them or not. Years ago I bought their ridiculously expensive half moon kitchen kitchen bin. I have to admit I’m still in love with that thing, and it’s just a …

This cleaner is the most strangest cleaner that I’ve ever used and it really reminds me of my grandmothers house because she always had strange buckets of cleaning powders all over the place that she would use for just about everything under the sun. She’d say “Hey, go get …

However, once i got my first kid i no longer used it at working place …

I just finished running through the dishes left in the sink since last night’s dinner. We used to use a dishwashing paste but it just never does washing magic as a dishwashing liquid does.
I am taking about Joy liquid dish washer. It comes in refill packs, simple 350 …

Well if you have read any of my articles so far you see that I am a very frugal person. I never spend one penny more on any item than I have to and then it has to be a need. There is one product that I have and …

Just when I was finally starting to come to terms with the fact that the likely hood of ever being able to dip my oreo cookies a few inches below my glass of milk because the rim stops my hand from going any further, was never going to happen …

My friend Cherry said to me “But a toaster is a toaster!”.. I laughed and said to her choosing a new toaster was really important to me. Anyway Cherry decided to join me and look at the Electrical stores on the Internet. I have been using the Internet shops …

Igloo really hit the jackpot with their 20 quart party bucket. I really needed an open cooler for a party and in my time I’ve had really bad experiences with open party buckets. They either make a wet mess or the ice melts too quickly. This …
