A Mirror Can Be Inspiring!

There are a lot of things that might get into your mind upon reading the title of my post today...right? Perhaps, some of you would say it's true, but to some they find it disgusting.

But come to think about it...mirrors are everywhere and are mostly common in every household. For me, a mirror is one essential aspect inside the home. I have it in the bedroom, study area, kitchen, and even in the bathroom. Why? Because it inspires me when I see myself looking good and smiling, lol! Call me crazy, but it's true. I can see myself in it crying too, but it's still part of being inspired, you know!

I have a house in the Philippines and currently I am still trying to remodel my bathroom. And honestly, so to speak, the only thing lacking in there is a bath mirror. There should be no problem getting one, that I know ;). But I still need to figure out something on the wall to hang the mirror since I can't get a standing mirror due to space constraints. The old mirror I got broke because the hanging piece were not able to support it.

It would be the next project I would be doing this November. :)

I Need A Cabinet Organizer!

My big trip is coming this November, and there are already some lists that I made for goals I have to do. Most of them are plans to have more cabinet organizers since those are the ones I don't have yet inside my home. It's really much of a challenge if you have another house to think about particularly out of the country! It makes your mind pre occupied...so many things to do, yet little time. 

Anyway, I am thinking of getting dvd cabinets, since I have been sending more dvd movies and they keep piling up in some corners of the house because they don't have any spot for organizing. It's for sure a good thing to have, but I might as well get one that can be good as a space saver since space inside is limited as well. I hardly have enough furniture because of the petite space inside the house.

Oh well, it's kinda tough choosing one, but fun! :)

The Best Container Lunch Box That's Right For You

If you and your kids always bring a lunch box meal at work and in school, it might help to make the best choice on whose ones should have the right one, right?

For Plastic Containers: Tupperware; Rubbermaid; Ziploc, etc.
This is ideal for vegetables, fruits and grains. Good for any food that does not need to be frozen or reheated.
They can last 1-4 years or longer, and are kid-safe.

For Stainless Steel: Lunchbots; PlanetBox
Ideal for kids' foods, travel snacks, lunch and refrigerator storage. They are reheatable in a toaster oven and great for lunchtime leftovers. It will be good to buy containers with handles. Containers can be safely knocked around without releasing chemicals.
They can last 10 years or longer.

Definitely kid-safe containers, and you can even write your kid's name inside the lid in permanent marker.

For Glass: Pyrex
They are great for hot soups, leftovers-pretty much everything. They are good from oven to table to freezer to microwave to dishwasher.
Many come with handy secure plastic covers and they are much sturdier than you can imagine. ;)
Life span can be longer than yours! :)
Not ideal for kids since they are a little bit heavy.

Awards And Recognition Items

Giving an award or recognitions to much deserving employees will help boost one's morale and can help the individual become inspired towards achieving his goals. So just imagine how essential it is for a certain company to have one, don't you think? And speaking about awards and recognition products, you can actually find good deals of prices online. For instance if you want to find t ball trophies that are budget friendly and yet the products are with a guaranteed satisfaction seals, you better check them out. It's not yet too late to find the best deals!

Avoiding The Monstrous Plastic Piles at Home

Is your kitchen looking like more like a plastic warehouse full of piling plastic containers everywhere? Ahhh....I've been there! It came to a point where every cabinet I open is full of plastic containers that I never use. When a time came that I have to put some more important stuff in there, I couldn't find any place at all! Well, it pays to have a good reorganization (and disposing those that I don't need).

Those that I no longer used were put in a big recycling bin, for a good cause ;). Also, you might already want to toss those that are scratched, damaged or warped plastic which can leach chemicals to your food.

Food containers are for deep drawers to avoid chaos in the drawer. If you don't have drawer space, use shallow shelves.

Stack them by shape, one area for horizontal shapes with lids vertical beside them.

Store like materials together. All sandwich containers in one drawer (you can include lunchboxes with them provided space is enough), while Pyrex dishes can be stored with other casserole dishes. This is the best defense method against out-of-control container drawer.

Don't Brush!

At least NOT if you have had soda, wine, coffee, tomatoes or any citrus fruits. Did you know that a study say that actually brushing your teeth after an intake of acidic foods can push the acid into your tooth enamel even further? This can then a result that leads to sensitivity and unsightly erosion and can cause more cavities at worst!
What you do instead is to have a swish of water, then wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before brushing your teeth.

One helpful tip, isn't it?
