Which do you prefer to use, curtains or Window Blinds? For me I like both. Each has different characteristics which make them the good choice for certain purposes. Curtains, especially those light and transparent cloth gives an airy feeling and also allows the light to go inside. Now if it’s too bright, you can use [...]

sweet potato fritters
I miss eating sweet potato fritters! This kind of root crop is definitely not common here. Potatoes yes, but sweet potatoes? They’re expensive as we have to buy it from an Asian Store which sells imported goods from (where else) Asia!

I know most of us would love to be unique with our personal belongings, right? Though I’m not really that particular about it, I know some people who would label their shirts, bags, towels, hankies, gadgets and other stuff with their names, icons or photos of their favorite idols, cartoon characters, pets and whatnot.

In my attempt to practice frugality, one cold day I turned off the heater at home. Since I was wearing tank top and shorts, my usual home attire, I felt cold by night time.
Looking for an affirmation that what I did was right, I went to hubby and asked him how much we save if [...]
