Romantic Gifts – Do’s and Don’ts (For Him)

24 Jan , 2013  

hate cleaning, but love romantic gifts

February is quickly approaching and St. Valentine’s Day with it and I am here to give you a few tips on how to prepare for the holidays with a good gift. To be honest,  in our family we decided that we don’t want to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Instead, we should do little things without an occasion, to put a smile on the other person’s face and make every day special. For this reason we have never celebrated Valentine’s day and refused to participate in all the craze. However, that doesn’t mean that we don’t like romantic gestures and we don’t exchange gifts. In fact, I think that we have exchanged more gifts than most couples, simply because we don’t wait for a whole year to celebrate our love. Here is what I have learned from all this time.

16 Jan , 2013  

hate cleaning, but love dining room designs

In this post I will present you with the dining rooms of 2013. Needless to say, the dining room is one of the most important in your house. Historically it had a huge importance, but nowadays it is often adjacent with the kitchen or the living room. This, however, doesn’t make it less important. On the contrary, you have a larger responsibility to carefully choose the furniture and the design of your dining room, so that it fits with your kitchen, or living room furniture.

10 Jan , 2013  

hate cleaning and heat

Steven and I came back from rainy cold London (2-3 degrees) in order to find out that Australia is having a record-breaking heat wave followed by enormous bushfires! It was then that I realized how much of a negative effect this change in temperature will have on our bodies. Then, of course, I was thankful to God for air conditioners and I started thinking what are the other home improvements that could help you keep cool in times like this.
