With so many brands declaring themselves as the best paper shredders on the market, it can be quite tricky to choose which one is the best to buy. Consumer reports survey are reliable sources when you are looking for the tested brands to buy in terms of product quality and performance.

The kitchen floor is one of the areas of the home that needs to be kept clean at all times.  That can be quite challenging because the kitchen floor can get really dirty and full of grime.  Most of the time, kitchen floors are made out of tiles, concrete, marbles or even granite.  These materials are not the easiest things to clean. But you know what? There are some tips and tricks to keeping your kitchen flooring clean and tidy without using industrial strength cleaners.

My kitchen flooring is made up of beautiful blue diamond pattern tiles.  They’re really pretty and nice to look at but the catch is that the grooves and patterns always seem to catch sauces or drippings whenever I cook. What I do after running a mop with lemon based cleaner through it is get a toothbrush and dip it in some baking soda.  After a few light scrubs, the sauces and gravies come off easily and the tiles end up bright and shiny again.

For marble, one of the things that can give you problem is grease spills.  If you accidentally spill oil, butter or any kind of grease or fat on it, quickly get some lemon juice and rub it on the area after you have wiped the oil off with a paper towel.  If lemon is unavailable, a bit of vinegar would do as well.  The acid will dissolve the fat left on the floor and ensure that there will be no slips or accidents.

While planning for our trip to Hong Kong, I had to make separate lists of things to pack.  Having a little girl means she needs her own suitcase and having a husband also means I would have to do all the packing for him.  Days before we left I could already imagine him screaming at me “where’s my blah?” ‘where did you put the blah blah?”  So just to be on the safe side I had him make his list of things and made a mental note to pack that inside his suitcase as well.

One of the things I noticed in his list was a set of electric razors. Yes razors, it was a travel kit with several spare razor heads. Packing that in his suitcase, I did not realize that it would be very helpful for me and my brother, who was  also traveling with us.  It turned out that the young man forgot to pack a razor for the trip so one of the spare razor heads went to him.

Finally came the important cruise ship dinner we had booked for my Dad’s birthday.  I remembered to pack my dress, evening bag and shoes, but looked down at my legs and to my horror, they looked like christmas trees!  Another spare razor head took care of the problem quite easily. So never in my life had I been so thankful for a travel kit of electric razors!

My friends ask me why do I bother? I always answer with a smile that coffee matters a lot to me and I want to make sure that other people see coffee the same way I do.  I understand that writing product reviews is not an easy task for most people, what with busy schedules and crazy work hours, there is hardly enough time for anyone to sleep.

But all of us make time in the mad rush of our days to sit down and enjoy that one cup of brew – and that’s where my philosophy stems from: if you only have time for one cup of coffee, you might as well have the best.

I take the time to look at different models of coffee makers in the market, including those available online and review them based on feature, function, price and efficiency. I started a few months ago and today my one cup coffee maker reviews are read by thousands of people all across the US and even in Europe.

I get immense satisfaction knowing that what I do out of love makes a huge difference in the lives of others.  I receive emails and comments thanking me for my honest and no-nonsense reviews as well as tips on how to come up with that perfect brew each and every time.
