Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Can you believe that next Sunday is Mother’s Day! Hope you have thought of getting something for her soon. If not, take a look at my gift guide that I have and will review.
C’est Ca Panel Apron £22.95
The apron consists of seven individual panels of fabric which are edged with binding all intricately sewn together by expert machinists in their Norwich based factory. The signature Panel Apron offers a stylish alternative to the classic kitchen apron shape, which they also produce.
For a long time, I always thought that Moon Pig is just a personalised card service but I’ve learnt that they do a whole lot more! They also sell flowers, wines, chocolates, t-shirts etc. What a great way to send a card with a gift to your family and friends.
I’m so glad that Spring has finally arrived and now it’s time to get out to enjoy some outdoor activities. We have not tried glamping before but it is definitely something I would need to try to tick off my top 100 bucket list.
Oven Pride had set a few bloggers for a spring cleaning challenge. They sent us a box of their complete oven cleaner. Inside this box, there is bottle of the solution, a huge plastic zip lock bag and a pair of gloves.
Durex Embrace Sex & Relationship expert has kindly shared their three top tips:
Blossom first came out in May 2013 published by Immediate Media and is aimed at 4 – 7 year old girls. This is to fill a gap in the market for little girls who love all things pink and sparkly, but offers quality educational content that support all seven areas of the Early Years Curriculum. It features its own four girl characters: Lily, Rose, Daisy and Violet alongside popular children’s book, TV and toy characters. Inside this issue, it comes with story time, learn to count, colouring, learn to draw and much more.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a first aid kit in the home or even in the car! Working as a nurse for 10 years, I always must sure that the kits are well stocked and not expired. Accidents happen all the time and having a kit available is always handy than searching high and low for a clean plaster!
Recently, I had reviewed the Ozeri Artesio Electric Pepper Grinder that looks very stylish and modern and would add a WOW factor to your dining table. If you don’t like electric gadgets, you might want to look at this duo salt & pepper grinder that saves space with a stylish design!
The nation’s favourite crisp company, Walkers, is challenging the Nation to create a new great-tasting flavour combination in exchange for winning £1 million pounds!
Adding a twist to the competition, which last ran back in 2008, the public will be challenged to create their own unique flavour combination by starting with one of Walkers’ home grown ingredients. They will need to pick from Somerset Cheddar, Devonshire Chicken, Norfolk Pork, Dorset Sour Cream, Vale of Evesham Tomatoes or Aberdeen Angus Beef as a base and then go wild with their imagination to truly inspire the nation!
Some of you might know that I love cleaning and those who had came to my house would have know that my house is immaculate. I am not joking. I can’t stand any dirt! My husband have to hover the sink to eat his snacks and my children have to use a bowl to contain any crumbs.
I also clean my car at least once a month inside out. I hate to wash my car during winter time. Not only it is cold outside, the outside tap water is freezing and it take longer time to clean the car properly as it is flirty.
A New Year, a new start of year! For Chinese, we are just about to start our New Year. As in my previous post, I had mentioned about the Lunar New Year. So before the New Year, all households will do a spring clean to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune to the house. According to Feng Shui, it is good to de-clutter your house to allow the good feng shui energy in your home.
We tend to involve the whole household and spend at least a whole day to clean up. From washing windows, doors, walls, oven, kitchen to every corner of the house.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall! Who is the MOST beautiful oak mirror in the world? I had chosen this large Rustic Oak Mirror from Furniture Plus Online to review. It is a distinguished piece of furniture which will add elegance to any rooms. It took a while to arrive in a well packed box by courier. It may required two person to open the box as it was very heavy at about 14 kg. Also try to avoid using a pen knife.
Three months ago, I wrote a review about Nano-b Anti-Bacterial toothbrush and this is my follow up. I used the Charcoal & Gold toothbrush for three months and now I am using the Silver toothbrush. The difference between Charcoal & Gold and the Silver toothbrushes is that Charcoal & Gold is great for anyone looking to whiten teeth and remove stains whilst the silver eliminates 99.9% of bacteria on the brush, and is their best bacteria fighter.
How can a bloggers’ night in be without pampering ourselves! After all the food and games we played, we settled ourselves and painting our nails. Some of us tried the Models Own Midori Melon-scented nail polish. The colour is too bight for my liking otherwise it is a nice polish and is easy to apply.
