My HOME, My HAVEN

My friend just bought a house and she’s crazy about her front yard, although it looks so wonderful now, she is not satisfied and wants to have it landscaped according to her liking. She’s already planned on what kind of landscape lighting she would pick that will be perfect for her taste. She’s very particular with everything in her house. She takes her time looking and scrutinizing everything when we shop around. She liked only the best in her home, from dishes to patio set.

So far, the above photos of Malibu lighting are the ones she is leaning towards getting. although she is very particular with everything, she is also a little thrifty, and because of that, she only wants the best but affordable items in her home.

 

When they were still looking for a house, she always ask the realtor about the yards and if it comes with free landscaping. Unfortunately, what they see is what they get. She even bought a book about landscaping and carefully looking for the design and all the set up for her front yard. They are in this gorgeous neighborhood and with the price that they paid for the house, she said, she deserved to get what she is aiming for, a perfect view from her bedroom window when she looks out. She didn’t care for her back yard since it’s fenced and she said nobody would see it anyways.

Why is landscape lighting very important to her? She knows that with it , it adds beauty and ambience to the place. She wants to sit outside her front patio on her newly bought bench and just admire her yard. She’s been looking through books and on the net where to get the lighting that she wants and finally after days of nitpicking, she found Westside Wholesale that sells the lighting that she said defines her personality. Now, she is already putting the image of her front yard with all the lights all around it, and when she talks about her plans, I can tell that she really is excited.

My uncle used to play guitar at home, he still has several guitars for his personal use, and everytime he plays his guitar, it needs to be plugged in to an amplifier for a better sound. He said that Crate amplifier can create a great sound effect and maybe he just wanted to hear himself while creating music with his guitar, and so we let him. even if sometimes we can’t hear ourselves talk. Music lovers know their brands, products and because they know which makes great sound, they choose the brand that they can trust.

I have heard that electro-voice speakers from musicians friend is the cheapest place you can get it. It’s hard to find great quality speakers for reasonable prices. Electro-Voice speakers were created by Lou Burroughs and Al Kahn. Burroughs eventually left the business to Kahn, but eventually came back to work as an engineer. They are some key contributors to wireless microphones. I would use one! They are known to be some of the best. They are used in cinemas, concerts, and even religious places!

I grew up without any modern appliances. I cooked food using wood and clay stove, I washed clothes using my bare hands, did the dishes using laundry detergent while pumping a water pump. Fortunately, I moved up to having all these high technology appliances, dishwasher, electric stove, washer and dryer, colored television and hear this, I am now using a computer. Who would have thought that I would be able to operate a computer, and I also own a cell phone. When my husband told me that he wants to go back to basics, I reacted so quickly and told him, not on his life!

Can you imagine me doing laundry using my bare hands like I used to? I don’t think so. We have six children, plus my husband, myself and my mother. How long does it take to do the laundry if I start washing it, wringing and hang on the clothes line? And what about my beautiful hands, I don’t want to ruin it again. Having too many people in my household, I sometimes want to go to a laundromat and do our laundry in an instant, since I can do 6 loads at the time, it might only take me 2 hours at the most to finish a week’s worth of laundry.

As I was browsing online for some good looking washer and dryer, since ours are screaming for replacement, I came across Speed Queen website that is Australian based and I found a pair that I believe will be of great use to a big household like mine. They carry top quality washers and dryers and they also carry Kleenmaid spare parts in case you are looking for this brand’s spare parts.

Anyhow, I fell in love with this pair of washer and dryer and I just wished that my husband can give me these for Christmas. Wouldn’t it be great to have these commercial quality laundry equipment in my laundry room? I can’t take my eyes off of it while drooling. If other housewives love diamonds, I love household stuff

Being a coffee lover, I always find a way to make sure that I enjoy every minute of my siesta time. I drink coffee twice a day and I make the most out of it. My life is not complete without sipping my favorite flavored coffee, even when I was still young, I guess that’s the reason why I didn’t grow much. My in-laws are worst than me, their coffee maker is on all day long. My mother in-law loves flavored coffee, and so do I. I love numerous flavors and when I have guests at the house, I want them to feel welcome by preparing variety of flavors of coffee. But buying the coffee flavors can be pricey so I was looking for a way to save money and yet be the best host.

I was told that I can give myself the best flavored coffee by getting the well known DaVinci Gourmet for carrying the best flavored syrups. I was fortunate enough to receive five of their mouth watering flavors for review to share with my readers. I was so excited that it didn’t matter whether it was in the middle of the day when I received my package, I immediately made coffee and tried the Vanilla flavor which is my all time favorite.

DaVinci Gourmet carries flavored syrup depends on their customers’ needs. They have Classic, Zero Calories,All Natural Flavor, Fruit Innovations flavors and Sugar Free. You just need to browse on their website and see what you need for your diet.

Zero Calorie Caramel flavor is a great syrup for people who are watching their diet or for someone that cannot tolerate sweets. The kitchen classic of buttery toasted sugar, with a touch of vanilla.

For someone who is watching their calorie intake like me, this is what I would mix to my drink . The pure and simple taste of semisweet chocolate

Hazelnut sugar free  is one of my favorites also, not just me but my dear ol’ mother in-law. I always have this flavor ready everything she comes and visit.

Flavored syrup is not only good for coffee, it can also be used with tea or with cold refreshing beverages. I love this Raspberry flavored syrup with my hot or iced cold tea and highly recommended. I love drinking my tea after I had a big meal, it helps me relax and digest my food.

My all time favorite flavor is Vanilla. Be it cookie, creamer or anything as long as it’s vanilla, I will take it. I have vanilla candles and such.

With DaVinci Gourmet, you will not only enjoy their flavored syrup, but I can assure you that you will love it to the last drop. I should know, I am not an avid fan.
