Black Eyed Susan's Beauty

Black-Eyed Susan is one of the common   plants that I have in my garden.  They are so easy to  maintain and they come back every year.  My husband isn't very fond of these plants but  am the gardener so I decide which goes and which stays lol. I say, the B-E-S stays!     

Here's how it lok on the early stages of  bloom.

Here's the fully bloom ones.   The bes agred with me, black-eyed-susan should stay hehehe.

Isn't it pretty?  When I look at it, I see between  zinias and sunflower.  

Ruby Ring

This is  the ruby ring that my father-in-law- gave me.  John gave this to his Mom as a birthday present and  Dad gave it to me.  I thought that was very sweet of him.  I saw  some beautiful selection of mothers ring online and thought of my Mom.  I haven't given my Mom jewelry ever since I left and I think she will be  happy to get a new one.  They are pretty pricey though so I think I will have to save little by little to be able to buy one.

Moringa or Malunggay

If you  came from Asia  like me, Moringa is very popular as a leafy vegetable.  In the Philippines, we call this plant, Malunggay.  I think  this is called Sajina in India.  Moringa or Malunggay is not only a healthy  leafy vegetable but it is also a herbal plant with many medicinal  factor.  Malunggay is a very good source of Vitamins A, B, And C.  IT is also rich in calcium, iron, and protein which is really good for nursing mothers.  A fried of mine sent me some  Moringa pods  last year and  it was later this year when I remembered it so my Moringa plant isn't as tall yet.  I will try to put this inside our home when the cold weather sets in and will try to  keep it alive.

I miss eating Moringa.  When I was asked to  review another product from Green Virgin Products, I was drawn to this handcrafted bar soap with  soap nut and moringa.   It has coconut oil which I also love, olive oil, palm kernel oil,  shea butter, sunflower oil, peppermint essential oil and moringa.  With all these healthy ingredients, your skin will definitely  radiates using  this  soap.  

We have been using this for  several days now and I love how it makes my skin feels.  I love it when I find  products that are non-toxic  and it really works well.  If you are fond of using products that are  natural like the ingredients I have stated above, this soap is for you.  

With two kids and two dogs inside our home, I definitely   on-board to  cleaning products that are not harmful not only to our kids but to our fur babies as well.    This GVP Formula 433 All Purpose Cleaner Concentrate is totally non-toxic, odorless, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly.   

This 16 ounces bottle  would make 11 pints of medium duty cleaning power.  Yep, that's right, you can dilute this with water and use it  on any washable surface, bathrooms, kitchens, floors, dishes, carpets, pet stains, stainless steel and you can even use this  for fruit and veggie wash!  Again, this product contains coconut oil which I love.

Okay, here's the verdict:  I specifically ordered this product to use as degreaser coz as you know, cleaning an oven is really a  hard task especially if you don't clean it regularly which in my case, I seldom bake so our oven is not really heavy on splatter of sauce and other stuff.  So here it is, the look of the oven door inside.

After I soaked it with GVP Formula 433, there's still a little bit left  after  scrubbing it.  This is not the best  degreaser I have ever used but it helps in  cleaning tough grease spots.  I would still prefer to use vinegar and lime juice  but for now, I am contented with what this product offers.

I will update you with other cleaning  job I will do with this in other parts of my house.  Thank you once again Green Virgin Products!  Looking forward to working with you again.

iPhone 4S Camera

I take photos everyday and most of the times, I plan on posting them in my blogs but just did not have the time and forget about it. Here are some of the photos that I took some time ago which I told myself to post here but wasn't able to. Now that I am thinking about it, I better do it before I forgot again, sigh.

Those photos were al taken using my   iPhone 4S. I love that it is portable and I can  take photos anywhere I go without having to carry a bulky camera but I don't really like it's resolution.  I mean they are not bad but they are not great either.  

Metronome

  She is kind of nervous about the start of her music program in Doquesne University.  It will be starting this  Saturday.   We got the assessment for the tuition and it is $2,600+.  I almost  fell in my chair when my husband told me.  I was anticipating that it would just be  like $1800 but the teacher who is  handling her wants to spend 45 minutes of her instead of 30.  

Hopefully, she'll do good out there.  

This is the metronome that we bought last year for Ms. Burrito.
