Spring and Summer time is a great time to get some spring cleaning done around the home. It is a tradition in my family to clean the home, replacing the air-conditioning filter, check the furnace to see if furnace filters need to be replaced or not, clean the kitchen exhaust hood, check the water filter and more. All these are important to lower the heating cost and increase the efficiency of the heating/cooling system.
A child’s playroom is always the room which is cluttered. Organizing it can be a real struggle. If you are spring cleaning and would like to organize your kid’s playroom but not sure how or where to start, here are a few items from IKEA to help you keep everything in order.
Mesh Basket with lid
Mammut Shelf Unit can be used for keeping books or art & craft items
Hemnis Storage Bench is great for storing stuffed animals, dolls and more
Glis Box With Lid can be used to store building blocks or colour pencils.
Are you looking for ideas on how to organize your kitchen? When you are organized, you can save money, time, waste and stress. I love it when my kitchen is organized and clean. We always need more storage space in our home, especially the kitchen. I rely on many knick-knacks to create more storage space in my kitchen. I love using storage containers to keep the paper towels, cookie cutters, coffee filters, womens diet pills, kids’ snacks or more. Here are some fabulous items which I found in Umbra which can help you to do just that.
You can accessorize your sink with this sink caddy.
Sink rack dish rack. Practical for those with limited counter space.
Pivo Storage Tray – handy for keeping small items
Small lattice caddy to hold the sponge.
This beautiful house in Denmark which I chanced upon at Design-Shimmer.blogspot.com is a house that I would love to stay in. I heart its decor. The walls, floors, doors and windows are in shades of white. This house has a rustic look and I just love the wicker baskets around the house. The wood furniture and brown rugs add some earthy tones in the house. I can picture myself sitting at the dining table, enjoying my cuppa or simply reading a book or my face cream reviews. Pure bliss.
Having enough sleep do wonders to your body. Sleeping well is important to our physical health and emotional well-being. It improves concentration and memory formation. Lack of sleep weakens the immune system and we may have to look for the best eye creams to get rid of those dark circles under our eyes.

Here are some gorgeous bedrooms decor which I found at slumberdesigns.blogspot.com.

Many months ago, my friend’s husband has applied for one of the philadelphia airport jobs and he just received notice that he has been hired by them. Therefore, my friend and her husband will be moving to Philadelphia in a couple of weeks’ time. I was over at her apartment earlier to help her pack and I really love what my friend had done to organize her front door clutter. She hang a few of the mail baskets near the door to collect mail, correspondence and even shoes. She bought those lovely baskets from Joannacollections.com. Hmm…..I am liking this idea a lot so perhaps I should get a few baskets myself.
Sisters of Pearl is a 30-episode TVB drama which I cannot wait to watch online. It stars some of my favorite artistes such as Jessica Hsuan, Kiki Sheung, Bowie Lam and Michael Tao. This is the first time that Jessica is portrayed as a villianess.

A makeover will also help me to enhance my productivity. I got some inspiration from my favorite home decor blogs, Apartment Therapy and DesignIsMine.blogspot.com. Here are a few of my favorite work spaces.
