Kitchen Hacks You Wish You Should Have Known Before

When it comes to cooking, it is essential to know some cooking hacks at home that you can use to either speed up your cooking prep, keep your greens fresher for an extended period, and make the food tastier. While having your unique style in keeping things in your kitchen, it wouldn’t hurt to have a couple of useful hacks on hand, especially this coming holiday season. And besides, pulling up a recipe that eats a lot of time and needs considerable effort to complete can sometimes discouraging, so learning some kitchen hacks can be super useful.

Below we have listed some straightforward kitchen hacks that you are going to wish that you should have known earlier.

Hack #1 Use a paper towel to keep your greens fresh 

There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing your greens wilting even after keeping it on your fridge. To make your greens last for an extended period, wrap them with a paper towel and place them in a plastic container. The paper towel is handy for absorbing excess moisture coming from your greens while the container prevents your greens from getting crushed.

Hack #2 Use marshmallow to keep your brown sugar soft

For those who love to bake, keeping brown sugar soft at all times is quite challenging, especially if you don’t have the proper storage for it. To ensure that the sugar doesn’t harden, store it in an airtight container and put at least two pieces of marshmallow on top of it. You could also use a slice of bread as an excellent alternative to marshmallow. It will keep your sugar soft and ensure it doesn’t harden over time.

Hack #3 Use the oven for cooking hard boil eggs

If you haven’t mastered the boiling water method, then using the oven to cook hard boil eggs is an excellent alternative, especially if you have to boil a lot of eggs at the same time hard. To do this trick, heat the eggs in the oven for at least 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Then gently submerge the eggs in ice water for another 10 minutes.

Hack #4 Use a dry towel to dry your fish before cooking

To cook the fish perfectly can be tricky, especially if you want the browning to stand out. One way to get it right is by patting your fish dry using a paper towel before putting the fish on the hot pan. The paper towel removes the excess moisture from the fish that prevents it from browning. By getting rid of the wetness of your fish, it makes the browning to stand out much easier.

Hack #5 Use a plastic or metal container to peel garlic cloves quickly and easily

We all know that peeling garlic can be incredibly time-consuming, especially if you have to peel lots of it. To easily peel garlic gloves quickly, break the bulb of garlic into individual cloves, then place them into a plastic or metal container and vigorously shake the garlic. If cloves are still difficult to release, shake longer and more vigorously. 

Knowing these simple yet straightforward kitchen hacks can be very useful. Try it and you’ll surely appreciate them.

Here’s Simple, Easy-to-Follow House Cleaning Schedule (+ Guide!) for Busy Moms

I thought I knew my mother. I thought she really liked drinking cold coffee, you know, making hot coffee then waiting for it to be cold before she drinks it. That’s how I’ve always seen her do it. Now that I am a mother too, I finally understand why. A mom’s daily life is so busy, she always ends up drinking her coffee cold in the afternoon, when all household chores are done.

know most of you can relate to the very busy daily schedule of a mom. We cook, prepare the family for the daily routine (kids going to school husband to work), clean up, more household chores and usually a short pause to take a bath while also cleaning the bathroom.
We just can’t do one thing at once right? Like when we take a bath, we have to maximize our time and resources (sayang ang tubig!). And even if we get advice such as stop multi-tasking, it really is what makes us who we are.
Being a mom is not easy and I know you are doing an awesome job but you know you can actually make your life easier. Even if we choose to do more than one thing at a time, we can really make our life easier by choosing the right products to use in our homes and by creating an effective cleaning schedule.

Here’s an Effective Cleaning Schedule For Moms

An effective cleaning schedule will help you in maintaining your house clean with less effort. With an effective cleaning schedule, you are assured that every aspect of your house is given the right attention with less fuss. Cleaning schedules are divided into categories depending on how frequent you need to clean. We have a daily cleaning schedule, a weekly cleaning schedule, monthly, and yearly.

How do you start planning your cleaning schedule? The first thing you need to do is list all areas in your house that need cleaning. Divide that list into 4 and that will constitute your weekly schedule. Let me share you my weekly cleaning schedule:

What should be on your daily cleaning schedule? Cleaning chores that won’t take an hour long should be on your daily schedule. Examples are sweeping the floor, quick dusting, putting out toys, making the bed and simple tasks that won’t take too much of your time.

How about the bathroom — especially the toilet bowl? We all know it’s one of the more difficult (not to mention dirtiest) tasks around the house. Quick bathroom cleaning can be done while taking a bath. Deep bathroom cleaning can be done weekly. The tricky part is achieving a clean and fresh-smelling bathroom all the time. But there’s a solution to that — try using Mr Muscle® Fresh Discs to keep your toilet bowl clean and the bathroom smelling fresh.

How to use Mr Muscle Fresh Discs

Make sure you clean the toilet bowl first before using the Fresh Discs (I also used Mr Muscle® toilet bowl cleaner).

Step 1. Slide the two pieces of Mr Muscle® Fresh Discs together so the button on the tube clicks into the
handle.

Step 2. Remove cap and position end of gel tube near the rim on inside of bowl.

Step 3. Press and hold button down while pushing unit against bowl’s surface. When button clicks into the next
hole, pull unit back to leave a gel stamp. Ensure the disc is placed near the rim where water would flow
on to it when flushed.

FLUSH! Each disc lasts up to 7 days! That is why you can enjoy a week of a clean and fresh-smelling bathroom.

Try watching this video on YouTube from Mr Muscle® Singapore to see it in action.



Where to buy Mr Muscle Fresh Discs? Check out leading supermarkets and store, It’s available in two variants: Lavender and Citrus.

Monthly Cleaning Schedule
Scheduled cleaning that is done every month includes household chores or cleaning that needs a lot of time or attention. As I have mentioned with our weekly schedule, use only 4 days a week so you can devote 1 or 2 days a week for your monthly cleaning schedule. Since this kind of cleaning needs time and effort, the most effective way of doing this is to divide it into 4.

Here’s a sample:

  1. Kitchen and dinning
  2. Bedrooms and bathroom
  3. Living Room and hallways
  4. Outside

Each one on the list gets a day from your weekly cleaning schedule. What are the examples of cleaning chores that are usually done on a monthly basis? Deep clean appliances such as the refrigerator, gas range, washing machine, oven, and electric fan. Changing of curtains, deep cleaning of carpets, and deep cleaning of walls.

Other household cleaning schedule that you also need to consider are those that is done every 4 months such as air conditioner cleaning, pest control, and deep cleaning of windows. Cleaning of roof and rain gutter are done every year. Cleaning/draining of the septic tank should be done every 3 years or 5 years.

5 Reasons Why I Love HYDRAFACIAL

For someone who loves skin care so much, facial should not be a big deal no? Well, not for me. I am afraid to explore that area. In fact, I often turn down invites for me to try a facial (save for a few or just one that I said yes). I love giving away Spa GCs that I got, specially if it involves a facial. I am not really sure why but maybe because I feel like it would just be a waste of time and the results won’t be what I expected it would be.

But in the end, my curiosity got me. I am not the kind of person who would travel to Makati just to get a facial, but I did. This facial really got me, as I heard that somewhere in the world, this kind of facial is done every 15 seconds. Do the math. But that’s really a lot and that was just last year. I’m guessing this year, it’s every 5 seconds. Is it really that good? IT IS.



Actually, it’s not just a facial, it’s HydraFacial. Is it your first time to hear about it? Let me tell you more about it by giving you the 5 reasons why I love it. Which is also the reasons why I have plans on doing this on a monthly basis. Hear me out!

5 Reasons Why I Love HydraFacial

HydraFacial is non invasive and is pain- free, meaning it does not go beyond your skin. It does not prick and not at all painful to the skin. If you have stubborn black heads or white heads, you know how it feel when they prick that. With HydraFacial, pricking is history. As the name suggests, it uses hydra or water (and water) in high speed to exfoliate the skin. Watch the video to see how much dirt it removed from my skin without any pain!


HydraFacial gives you the best skin of your life in less than an hour. The treatment includes 3 steps procedures: cleansing, exfoliating, infusing. After the 3 steps, skin is treated with LED Light Therapy. And all those steps in just less than an hour.

HydraFacial has no side effect and little downtime. After the procedure, you are good to go! From my experience, there really is no downtime. My face is not red, not swollen, no pain! I can resume my activities right after HydraFacial. Of course, you need to be extra careful with sun exposure, but every skin enthusiast and skin loving beauty knows that naman di ba? Sun can do great damages to your skin.

HydraFacial is best for all skin types. You know there are facial that is not advised for oily skin or facials that are only for specific skin types. HydraFacial caters to all skin types as the booster are tailored for what the skin needs that moment. You have fine lines and wrinkles? Go for it! Skin texture? Brown spots? Dry skin? Enlarged pores, HydraFcial is for Everyone!

HydraFacial legit check is LEGIT. Bakit may fake ba? Sadly, because of its popularity and really great results, some facial clinics use it to gain more clients.
