Chinese New Year, or also commonly referred to as the Lunar New Year is a festival celebrated by Asian communities the world over. As may be expected, it is one steeped in cultural tradition.

To herald a new spring, most of us perform all sorts of activities such as wearing bright colours, eating dishes that represent prosperity and abundance, and staying up late into the night to catch up with family and friends.

But aside from these cultural norms, families may have their own little traditions as well! Let me share some of mine with you 🙂

Paris, the city of love… and my name sake!

Is it any wonder then, that the brand new Diptyque Paris en Fleur candle deserves a place of honour on my display?

Paying tribute to the city of its birth, Diptyque has created a brand new scent in a limited edition candle, that arrives just in time for the festive celebrations; and if you’re so inclined, Valentine’s Day 😉

EcoMINIM Eco-friendly detergent promises to be tough on dirt but kind to your skin and safe for kids

The last time I shared some cleaning products with you, it was one of the most toxic materials known to mankind, as many were quick to point out to me. It did the job, but it probably shaved off a few months of my life doing it.

I can’t say I’m terribly proud of using it, but I needed something to do the job, and it did. Sometimes, you just need that.

Other times, you can usually find me roaming the detergent and household cleaning aisles, looking for the next newest miracle worker on stains and dirt LOL I’m afraid my interests vary far beyond just beauty, my friends!

I love trying out new, more environmentally friendly household cleaners, of which there are now many in the market. Brands like Method or Ecover will likely be quite familiar to most of us by now.

But let me tell you instead about a homegrown, Malaysian-made and manufactured brand – EcoMinim Eco-friendly Detergent and Household cleaners 🙂

Try the One Minute Rule for greater productivity and a more clutter-free home

June 19, 2019 Paris B 14 Comments

I shared about my useful one tip to corral clutter a while ago. I’m notoriously bad about picking up after myself, which doesn’t quite bode well for living in a clutter-free home.

A few weeks ago, I went for a house-viewing, and I was stunned at how well-kept it was. It was neat, tidy and everything was in its place. There was no stray bits of clutter lying around. Everything looked deliberate and it was beautiful. And CLEAN!

I was inspired.

So I returned home, and for the next few weeks, I started picking up after myself a little better. I still kept my landing strip, except I’d cleared it out more.

I started making it a point to run the vacuum more regularly (The Roomba iRobot is a dream!) and clean the floor more often. I started picking up after myself.

And then I came across an interesting concept – the One Minute Rule. I was intrigued and inspired.
