There’s good news if you want to help protect the environment and save money at the same time. Many home energy conservation ideas can trim your utility and shopping bills. Replace incandescent lighting with energy-efficient LED light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release 90 percent of their energy as heat, which makes them burn out and waste energy. LEDs last longer than traditional bulbs so you’ll spend less money replacing them. You can recycle LEDs too, which means you’ll contribute less waste to local landfills. Using...

Moms like me are well aware how much better in terms of everything (price, quality, quantity and nutrition) freshly home cooked food are than processed food. But we are also aware that most ingredients for our “lutong-bahay” can be best bought in fresh/wet markets. This is a great problem for most of us who, for lack of the terms to use, “doesn’t have too much time” to actually go to a wet market to buy ingredients. Like in my case, as a working mom who works two full-time shifts in a day, it will already...
If you are using a non-stick frying pan or any non-stick cookware like me, the usual problem we have is how we can make the coating last longer. It’s because the moment the non-stick surface gets scratched, the food that we cook will start sticking on the pan. Not only that. The food that we cook will also burn a lot faster. Sometimes, the food will become overcooked...
Ever since we got married, my husband and I opt to surround ourselves with at least several potted plants where we live. We just need to have plants to surround us and luckily, my husband has a green thumb and he is diligent enough to take care of our plants. We’ve always believed that plants give us something more than oxygen. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul. — Alfred Austin Just recently, I was invited to the top-off ceremony of the third building of Larossa. Larossa is the premiere project of Primehomes,...
Feeling anxious, envious, sad and lonely are all routinary and part of my daily life. Don’t think that it’s only you. Everyone of us, even the happiest and most successful woman in the world experience this. Don’t think that it’s sour graping at the same time. Nobody has a perfect life. Even that sexiest mom I’ve just seen in Facebook, who had just been in a cruise with her rich husband, and very pretty children, must have felt empty in some days. We all struggle and we all feel that somehow, we lack here...
I’ve never seen such a generous campaign when it comes to health and wellness products other than Robinsons Supermarket. In fact, this August, it’s already in its 4th leg of its year-long Route To Wellness journey with its loyal shoppers. I’m so happy to be able to join its August Celebrate Wellness caravan in Eastwood City last weekend. Despite the humid weather, the event was exciting as the tent was filled of booths containing discounted products from Robinsons Supermarket brand partners. It was a great day to shop...
Just how OC should a mother be when it comes to personal hygiene and home cleaning ? For me, nobody can ever call us over protective when it comes to these matters. Because germs and bacteria spread fast and the diseases they bring, you don’t know how bad they will be. I am somehow relieved that my husband and I already survived the baby and toddler years, when my daughters were so delicate then they were hospitalized several times because of bacterial infections despite of how careful we were in keeping them clean and sanitizing...
Cleaning the refrigerator is as important as cleaning the rest of the appliances at home. Actually, it should be more often be cleaned than any other appliance. Why? Because it’s the most used appliance at home, it runs 24 hours a day, and most of us can’t live without it. It’s too important for us that it’s worth the attention. How often should refrigerators be cleaned? At least once every 3 months (the laziest you can do), refrigerators should be completely cleaned and organized. But the handle should always be...
