Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
For many families, a deck is a must-have. It is the key to a great outdoor space for relaxation. It can also serve as a comfortable space to host and hang out with guests, friends and family members. Wooden decks, unfortunately, have to undergo frequent repairs and replacement. Finally, due to the hazardous waste generated by this high-maintenance process, it can cause serious damage to the environment.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Renovating it is an exciting step where you can add a splash of colour, style and luxury. Whether you are going for a complete transformation or simply looking for some new extra additions, the material you use as a key decision.
>Choosing materials for your cabinets and surface tops might seem like an overwhelming task. There are two main ways of looking at it: practicality and your aesthetic vision.

Natural wood versus smartwatch. Natural wood wins! Not long ago, we came across JORD who are a wooden watches company and we fell in love with the notion of a timepiece that uses natural materials. Their watches look very unique and has proved to be quite the talking point.
JORD Wood Watches are based in the USA and they ship international. We received the watch very quickly with registered mail. Mr C went for the Fieldcrest Series black wood watch. This is a classic midsize watch. The monochromatic wood face, bezel, and strap serve to showcase the intricacy of the wood grain. It has a stainless steel deployment buckle with push button. In fact, it is very easy to push and release the buckle but at the same is very secure on your wrist. The watch is very lightweight and has scratch resistant mineral. Out of the box, the straps were too long for Mr K. So we used a small screwdriver (for spectacles) to push the Individual links out and shorten it. It can be a bit fiddly to do so you can always take it to a watch shop to do it for you.

My children might be 5 and 6, but they are still very much in love with their teddy bears. When they heard that they were allowed to bring their own unique bears out for a picnic, they were over the moon! I have never allowed them to take their bedtime bears outside of the house, just in case they lost it and as most parents will know, a child’s favourite cuddly toy is so difficult to replace!
