If you are planning to acquire a new dining table set comprising of matching table and chairs, you should stop immediately. What should you do instead? Well, on this occasion, variety is the way to go; you can mix furniture styles, and fabrics. If the seating arrangements are blended in different colors and styles, it gives off a more comfortable atmosphere.

Tupperware Fresh Staks Review

My husband would always comment on how untidy my ref looks. Well, I can’t blame him naman, after all, it’s the ref that I bullied him to buy for me! And yeah, our fridge does not look as neat as I want it to be most of the times.

I have nothing to blame but the lack of proper product to use to make my fridge look better.

But when I am about to give up, Tupperware sent me their products to try! Like, seriously?!? Perfect timing. I am a sucker for perfect timing huhuhu. Naiiyak ako sa tuwa when Tupperware chose to me to be one of the bloggers to review Tuppeware Fresh Staks.

That’s how my fridge looks now after using 2 sets of Tupperware Fresh Staks. That’s 2 Medium, 2 Large, and 2 Jumbo. Ang dami naming food ano? Madami din naman kase kame sa bahay 🙂

Here’s what I like most about Tupperware Fresh Staks:

It’s green! Which is my favorite color
It comes in different sizes (though I wish there’s smaller for left overs)

It has a handle which makes pulling out of the freezer easier.
It is air tight, which makes my food lasts longer.
It is stackable. As you can see, 2 layers lang ng fridge ko ang na occupy ng 6 pieces of Tupperware Fresh Staks. Now I want to buy more!
Easy to open even though it is closed tightly.

And the Tupperware Fresh Staks is safe and can be re-used!

Since I am planning to buy a few more of the Tupperware Fresh Staks, I looked at Tupperware Facebook Page for the price and here’s how much Tupperware Fresh Staks is:

Tupperware Fresh Staks Jumbo is 999
Tupperware Fresh Staks Large is 899
Tupperware Fresh Staks Medium is 799

If you want to buy the fresh staks, do check out the Tupperware Brocchure on their website: Tupperware Website. Or check out Tupperware on Instagram or Twitter for lastest promos and discounts.

5 Tips To Moving To A New House This Summer

Are you relocating this summer? Kudos for picking the right time! The weather is almost guaranteed to be perfect. Let’s add the fact that you don’t have to deal with the chaotic school year if you have children. While moving can be pretty exciting, it’s normal to feel anxious about it. It’s human nature to be territorial and to worry about the unfamiliarity that comes with relocating. In fact there was a study in 2015 that suggests moving home is more stressful than a relationship breakdown or a new job. In order to make your move a little less stressful, take note of our tips below:

Rent a dumpster to clear out trash and unwanted items. Sorting through your stuff can be very overwhelming, especially if you have a lot of clutter. Separate the things you would want to keep from the things you want to get rid of. Have a separate box for items you can still recycle, donate or sell, and dispose of. When you have outdated electronics, unused paints, and gardening products, safely dispose all of them by renting a dumpster. If you have questions about dumpster services, contact the Eagle Dumpster Rental to get a quote.
Use an address change service. Notifying all the important people about your new address and contact information can be time-consuming. Save much of your time and use an address changer service that helps you send automated notifications to different people and companies. You can find many address change solutions that are offered for free.
Hire professional cleaners to give your house the final clean. The previous tenants might have professionally cleaned the house before moving out but you still need to do another cleaning before moving in. It is important especially when the house was left empty for a long time. Get help from professional cleaners who will sanitize every rooms including the bathrooms and kitchens.
Keep your kids busy through childcare arrangements. Packing things can be extra challenging when you have little kids around. Arrange childcare at least two weeks before moving. This is to ensure that you can focus on your moving day. You can also get help from friends and family members to look after your children while you pack and unpack things. If you have kids who are old enough to help out with the move, trust them with responsibilities. Let them do the simple tasks like packing their own belongings.
Check the utilities in your new home. Make sure that your utilities, such as electricity, phone, and cable are working perfectly fine and now under your name. The last but not the list is to check for home security. Change the locks and reprogram the garage code.

Relocating can be difficult. It always comes with fears since moving is a major life transition. But you can make it an exciting journey by making your new house feel like home. Simple things like decorating and unpacking one room at a time can make it less-stressful for you. Take advantage of the friendly weather to check out the neighborhood and know your new acquaintances.
