Here's one neat thing you can make sure you do during your time away with the family. Pick out a place or an activity you wish to do in your destination and have it done.

Kitchen Tip: Keep Molds off Sinks

Whoever does not fuss over molds that come uninvited on our sinks? This is one of the things that isn't just an eye sore but can also cause diseases. One thing I make sure I do every single day is spray the whole counter top and the Toto sinks with a solution of tea tree oil and water that I mixed in a spray bottle.

Beauty Tips from Kikay Corner

If you have not visited yet, I’m inviting you to come swing by my beauty blog, KikayCorner.net. This beauty blog is an online magazine that showcases honest to goodness beauty product reviews, make up and fashion tips. Just about everything kikay, girly and sassy. 

I must admit though, that reviewing not so good products isn’t all that easy. I have at least a couple of supposedly best wrinkle treatments that did not particularly work best on my skin. But my disclaimer is, some products work for some skin and some don’t. This is why it’s important to do skin test prior to using any product.

Appliance Repair Tips

Our family has learned a thing or two about appliances that submerged during the typhoon ondoy (Ketsana). We first thought our washer was off to its wake when the buttons went blinking the first time we plugged it to the outlet. The fridge did great. Not even a hint of being submerged in flood waters.

After being struck by typhoon ondoy (Ketsana), one of the many things we had to take care of is appliance repair. This is why it is of extreme importance to be able to keep the manuals of your appliances. Although most of the appliances that submerged underwater did get back to working all right after a couple of weeks, machines should still be checked to make sure no corrosion has taken place. This will ensure you more good years with your appliances.

For GE parts, check out Appliance Parts Pro for quality and original pieces. Washer and dryer parts were two of our major concerns. We all know how washers have become essential to our homes. Getting clothes serviced by a laundry shop will take a lot from the family budget. This is why having your very own reliable appliance still weighs more than an outside service. 

Child Care Tips

Now, if there’s something I wish I knew about child care when I was still a new mom is this Shop Wiki page on babies and toddlers. Unlike the regular sites that will only allow you information on those that they sell, shop wiki actually will educate you and links you to other related sites that will give you more than just bits and pieces of what you are looking into.  

When it comes to child care, Shop Wiki serves more like a parenting partner. Whether you are a first time mother or not, the benefits that you will get from browsing through the site is just endless. Like for instance, you are looking into thermometers, the different types and their uses will be enumerated and you will never have to blindly patronize anything without you knowing what they are for. Isn’t that sweet? 

If that will not be enough, there are even buying tips that can come really handy. Like what’s best for infants and toddlers to wear and some essentials that should be included in a checklist for a newborn. We all know that a new mother can make use of all the help that she can get and this site has probably all she needs to know about infant and child care how to’s.

Supermarket Shopping

Although most supermarket nowadays already POS systems, there is still a few that I know that don't. While this surely lessens the risk of getting charged more than you should pay for, some such supermarket actually offer goods that are more than a peso cheaper for each product (some even ten), that they have. When you sum it all up, you are on advantage. The supermarket I speak of is Hi-Top along Aurora Blvd. For bulk purchases this is hands down, the place for us to go. Otherwise we just go to any random grocery store, because they almost always have the same price anyway.

But won't it be neat if there will be a supermarket that uses POS and offer cheaper prices as well?  This, I have yet to discover.  Maybe you have found one, dear readers and I will so appreciate if someone could recommend one.

The Mega Atrium Lifestyle

SM Megamall has grown so much more with the addition of the Mega Atrium, an exciting new lifestyle area in the Ortigas Center.

This niche mall within the iconic SM Megamall is located over Julia Vargas Avenue, and fully bridges the gap between Mega A and B. It has 16,000 square meters and has four levels.

With Megamall being a linear development that spans more than half a kilometer, the Mega Atrium is envisioned to be a center of respite and relaxation. Its strategic central location provides a convenient stop for mall visitors to relax and literally catch their breath while enjoying shopping at its upmarket stores and dining at specialty restaurants.

Upscale retail shops and restaurants are planned around a circular atrium with an area of 452 square meters. Access to the center is to offer an air of drama and surprise. Off the existing bridgeway, the visitor approaches the center through a low ceiling hallway that widens towards a cyclindrical skylight.

Dynamic non-concentric circles on the floor are achieved with the application of yellow tiles of varied hues. An equally dynamic skylight design matches the non-concentric circles on the floor. The curved patterns ripple out beyond the atrium area on both floors and ceiling to great consistency and harmony to the general look of the center.

The fifth level of the Mega Atrium is the new site of the 1, 700 square meter Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord. Designed by Architect Gervacio “Joey” Amistoso, the grand chapel has a modern architectural concept with the Eucharist as the focal point in the retablo or altar with the crucified Christ in the middle. The retablo is neo-classical design, which contrasts with the modern theme of the rest of the chapel.

The color scheme of the area is earth inspired using neutrals like beige and brown. Finishes are similar to those of stones used during the Romans times, which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression, but in a soft and warm approach. Wood in its natural oil finish is the most common material, which is used in the chapel. The Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord also has a separate Adoration Chapel and Children’s Room.


The Mega Atrium is an exciting addition to the 330,000 square meter SM Megamall, one of the world’s largest malls. Megamall, which opened in 1991, is said of have spearheaded what is termed in malling phenomenon with its size, world class designs, and new concepts including the Artwalk and Art Center and Megatrade Hall. The Atrium adds an upscale vibe to the mall.

The Mega Atrium design team includes Arquitectonica, Mall Designer; W.V. Coscolluela and Associates, Architects; Monolith Construction and Development Corp., General Contractor; and DA Abcede and Associates , Project Manager.

Choosing Your Pet

Caring for pets entails commitment. This should be the first thing to remember when considering taking care of a pet. Some believe that having a pet helps children learn about responsibility. But there is actually more to it than that.

First to do is consider is factor in the kind of commitment a pet requires with the kind of lifestyle that you have. Dogs need more attention than you think. Will you be available to walk it on a regular basis. Weigh the odds between owning pet cat or dog against a caged animal, which is, more often requires less time to take care of. 

How about your home environment? Will the neighbors be able to take it if your pet becomes too noisy? This is usually an issue when you live in a condo. Before looking into cattle supplies and pet accessories, make sure you have all these considered first.

Handy Tips for Bride on a Budget

As someone who has once coordinated weddings for a living, I know I ought to share some tips about preparing for weddings. There are probably two months that couples get married in -- June and December. And if you are to be wed June of next tear, you should, by now, be on your way to finalizing your suppliers and program. 

The first things the couple should decide on is the number of people to invite for to their wedding. More often than not, most guest lists balloon as the wedding comes near, so save a certain number for allowance. The next to determine is the people who will be included in the entourage. Principal sponsors should be given a heads up before you get that wedding invitation printed. Secondary sponsors should also be advised of their roles. A bride’s maid of honor and bridesmaids should be available for anything from the preparation, the shower and the wedding itself. 

If you happen to be a bride on a budget, it does not have to stop you for getting grand. The key really is to be able to make a list of suppliers and work from there. It would also help if you get personal recommendations from friends. If they were satisfied with the service, then you lower the risk of having any boo boo’s come your wedding day. Cheap wedding invitations are also a concern. Bride and Groop Direct will be the best choice for your wedding invitations. Regardless of your style preference, they will be able to deliver to your demands. And wedding invitations count a lot, a couple should be able to choose the kind of invitation that they want reflected on the kind of wedding they want. 

When the details of the wedding are all lined up then it is time to have the couple just relax and leave the concerns to the wedding coordinator that they hired for their very special day.

Here is tip dedicated to car dudes and dudettes, especially those who are luxury car fans. Volvo and GMC have released 2010 models. Here are the 2010 Volvo XC60 and the 2010 GMC Acadia.

The 2010 Volvo XC60 makes for an even safe drive. Nothing can be more elegant than this most recent model released by Volvo.

Choosing the Best Wrinkle Cream

There is not one generation that is more vain than today’s. There is always this challenge to stay young and good. While it is not bad to want to look young, we should always make sure that we never overdo it. We have seen Hollywood stars become slave to this and the result is the horrifying look they now have.  

Wrinkles come with age, from fine lines to those conspicuous leather texture ones. Before you go under the knife, try out the non-invasive procedures first. There are reputable wrinkle cream brands that you can actually try. But before you get hold of just any brand, make sure you know what your skin type is. The product’s ingredients should also be factored in. This is especially important to those people who are allergic to some chemical components. A friend’s recommendation should also weigh more than the paid commercial ads we see on print and tv.

Land Travel Convenience

Traveling by land is always made easy when on an rv. It sure has its made advantages over traveling by bus. There is practically no limit in the stuff you could bring with you, unlike if you would have to ride a bus. There are companies that sell motorhomesell motorhome and if you travel a lot, with a family in tow, this can be something you can actually save up for.  

Why an RV, you might ask. RVs provide convenience that land travel by bus will never be a ble to give you. The room provides better comfort for you and your family. Although motorhomes can be pretty expensive, it is not surprising that people save up or even spend their retirement pay on it.

Improve Search Engine Ranking

Bloggers and web masters can always learn a thing or two from the usual stuff they receive in their inbox. Improving your rankings in the search engine has always been a great thing that not a lot of people have gotten a grasp of just yet.
