Teaching Kid’s Hygiene

Image
photo from the net “People will make judgments before you even speak based on the way you look. Most definitely your physical appearance matters. The way you dress, your hygiene - it all matters”. – This is one of the best quotes from Jonathan Adler that I best agree. Being the light of the house, we mothers are the ones responsible in honing our children to good manners and right conduct. Coaching our little ones of the proper behavior is very much important to develop a pleasing personality, likewise training them with the right and proper hygiene counts a lot in their growth.   When is the right time to start teaching our kids their personal hygiene? Well, in my opinion and through experience, the earlier the better.  At age 1, I already began informing my two sons the significance of washing their hands before eating and brushing their teeth. As my children grow older I continuously instill the knowledge and polish them of the effects brought by maintaining cleanl

Cleaning 101: How often do you Dust?

Image
Dusting is one of my regular house chores. I usually dust on a daily basis, however when I stopped availing the services of a househelp, I do it on a bi-weekly or sometimes on a weekly basis as it consumes time and I have other everyday jobs to attend to. Dingy furnitures and dirty electronics such as electric fans and air conditioning unit filters trigger allergy and breathing problems. So in order for me not to get tired of taking off the grime every now and then I opt to keep our windows closed. As I am all alone during the day, keeping the windows closed will also keep me safe. I only open it when it is raining as there is less dirt to come in when outside grounds are wet. I also put on entrance mats at each door entrance to lessen the filth coming in from the shoes or slippers. I also use slipcovers on our upholstery, so I just have to shake it out instead of vacuuming the entire sofa. My best dusting buddies are the microfiber cloth and static duster. A microfiber cloth is my

Hale and Hearty Sleep with a Memory Foam Mattress

Image
After a long and tiring day we usually seek the comfort of our beds. Our body needs a sound sleep to be well rested  to function well again the next day. However, there are times that no matter how long we sleep; we wake up having body pains. My husband experiences sweating during his sleep due to the accumulated heat in the uratex bed , thus aside from covering our cushion with an extra linen and comforter before the bed sheet itself, he usually places a big and long towel to lie on to eliminate the heat. I, on the other hand need to find a good lying position in order to obtain sensible forty winks. When sleeping, the mattresses we lie on are supposed to alleviate stress in our body, perk up the flow of blood circulation and eliminate the sinking feeling that frequently results to body aches upon waking up. The use of comfortable memory foam mattress offsets the heat buildup, no more tossing and turning in finding the best sleeping position and guarantees a refreshing slumber. H

Adding some Class to that Den

Image
We have all dreamed of having a stately manor with a den that is the envy of all of our friends. A carefully tended fire crackles behind a fireplace mantle carved from beautiful marble which sits beneath a masterfully painted image of the family in their finest clothing. Maybe not quite that extreme, but we can create an elegant feeling without moving to a country estate.  The walls are the first point of interest for this kind of redesign. Off white eggshell walls are not classy. They ring of apartment buildings and bland living spaces. A vermillion hue of some kind or perhaps a royal blue would work beautifully to illicit that feeling of regal design.  The fireplace mantle is next. The fireplace is the centerpiece of any good den and, if you don’t have one, you can buy a realistic faux fireplace. At that point you can build fireplace mantles around these faux fires to complete the illusion. If you don’t have the skills to build one yourself then you can buy one of the pre-fabrica
