Storage Box Tales

Storage box has become a necessity in my home (just like printing postcards online for post card enthusiasts) , with more than 8 years of accumulated toys and what not, it comes very handy.

After another flood hit us last year, I decided to organized our storage room (the other room of this house we are renting) and bought a lot of storage box. I got each box for a little over 1000Php each and it served its purpose very well.

The boxes, I used to store the toys, mostly Mega Blocs. I love how the boxes are stack able and has a very sturdy lid. Now I am planning to buy more boxes to place other stuff such as important documents and old clothes that have sentimental value.

These big storage boxes saved me a lot of spaces.

5 Landscaping Tips To Beautify Your Home

There are plenty of people in the world who have a bit of extra space in their front and backyards these days, but not many people decide to take advantage of all that extra room. If you are lucky enough to own a nice-sized plot of land in your town, then you should definitely make sure that you beautify it with a few changes to the landscape. Instead of looking at the landscaping maintenance as a hassle, you should view it as an opportunity to create something special for your home. Here are five different ways that you can take your home to the next level with some landscaping tips.

Pay a Professional to Maintain the Yard

As a basic starting point, you need to make sure that your yard is properly maintained. If you are someone who does not have the time or energy to maintain the yard, then you need to hire a professional like Premium Pools and Gardens to do it for you. Once you see what it is like to come home to a beautiful yard at the end of a long work day, you will then understand why you should take the time to add more additions to the yard.

Build a Garden in the Backyard

If you are someone who actually wants to get something out of the beautification of your yard, then you should think about building a garden. Maintaining a garden definitely takes a bit of work, but the fact that you can get some fruits, vegetables and spices out of the ordeal should give you enough motivation to continue. Make sure that you actually maintain the garden and make it look presentable because an ugly plot of dirt in your yard will not do too much for the beautiful of your yard.

Add Some Bushes Instead of a Fence

If you are someone who enjoys their privacy and want to separate your yard from the rest of the neighbourhood, then you should at least do it in a way that adds value to your home. A bush or hedge fence is a great way to add a bit of style to your yard as you break it off from the rest of the world. The privacy added to your backyard will also allow you to relax more easily back there.

Do Your Research on a Flower Bed

One problem that many people run into when it comes to installing a flower bed is that it turns out they do not really enjoy the flowers that they chose for their yard. Make sure that you take some time to actually look at the flowers you are going to install into the yard before you plant them.

Don’t Underestimate the Value of a Statue

If you want to add a bit of class and elegance to your yard, then look no further than a statue or fountain. These are the perfect tools to use when you want to add a bit of prestige to your home.

Cool Off With Clean Air Conditioner

Air Conditioners are now becoming a necessity, specially on tropical countries. Here in my country  the temperature can go as high as 39 degrees (and there was a time that it reaches 40 degrees). Scorching hot indeed! Our air conditioner runs for more than 10 hours a day (y electric bill is the painful proof LOL). And because of running almost non stop, I noticed that the air con tends to be dirtier in a shorter period of time.

From our experience, a dirty air con does not work very efficiently. To keep it in good running condition, you must clean the air filter every week (or every 4 days if necessary). It should be thoroughly clean every 6 months by an air con technician.
