I tried using Baking Soda and Vinegar to clean my oven and it did not work! But here’s what did

March 6, 2019 Paris B 44 Comments

I’m going to tell you a funny-tragic story about my oven, that will either leave you shaking your head at how dumb I was, or make you laugh. I hope it’s the latter.

When I bought my oven (built-in design) I thought I had bought a self-cleaning oven. Because I thought it was self-cleaning, without looking up what that meant, I thought it meant that I didn’t have to actually clean it after each use because it’d take care of it itself.

Fast forward a few years (about 4 yikes!) and many oven uses later, I realised that the inside of my oven was, to put it mildly, filthy. I don’t bake cakes and biscuits, so my oven is primarily used for cooking savouries. Sometimes, as is wont to happen, spills and oil spatters occur. The inside of my oven was coated with a pretty gross patina of grease and oil.

Last week, after a particularly delicious roasted pork belly episode, I decided I’d tackle this cleaning malarkey once and for all. The story has been fully documented on Instagram (watch it on the Oven Chronicles Highlights tab to follow my adventures LOL! 😀 ) but I wanted to share in depth, why I chose to do what I did and its effects.

I looked up online for ways to clean a dirty oven, and found so many advocates for what is popularly known as the “natural way to clean your oven”, using a mixture of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) and vinegar. It promised a clean, sparkling oven without poisoning yourself and your family.

Let me tell you this – It’s bollocks 😛

One good tip to contain clutter and find things more easily – have a landing strip at home!

January 25, 2019 Paris B 19 Comments

If you can believe it, I started writing this post about creating a “landing strip for your home” about 3 years ago, almost to the day! LOL But as with the hundreds of drafts I currently have in my folder, I didn’t finish it for various reasons.

landing strip for home prevent clutter

I have so many ideas for blog posts popping into my head every now and then, and I usually toss them into my drafts folder with a line or two to remind me what it’s about. I have more ideas than I do time to publish them all! Some will tell you that’s a good thing LOL! 😀

But this time, I’m finally going to tell you all about this little trick for keeping a tidier, more stress-free household. As you can see, I’ve been using it for the past 3 years! 😀

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Diptyque Damascena and Centifolia Rose Candles put you in the mood for love

January 22, 2019 Paris B 8 Comments

Each year, at around this time, luxury perfume and candle maker, Diptyque gets in touch with their romantic side. Each year, they release a special candle in tribute to the most romantic of all flowers – the rose.

This year, Diptyque celebrates not just the rose, but 2 beautiful species of roses.

Diptyque celebrates the Damascena Rose and the Centifolia Rose in two beautiful limited edition scented candles jars. They are not only a treat to the eyes (and a beautiful decorative piece in the home), they are a treat to the olfactory senses too.

Whether you’ve been Naughty or Nice there is a Lilin + Co Christmas Candle with your name on it

November 30, 2018 Paris B 2 Comments

Some days, you trot out your Diptyque and Jo Malone scented candles. On other days, you luxuriate in a beautiful scented room, without having to sell an organ or a limb LOL! I can safely say that one of the better locally made, affordable soy scented candles I’ve encountered to date is by Lilin + Co. I’d told you about them before this so you can have a little read.

lilin + co naughty nice christmas candles

I recently met the owner at a local bazaar, where she (I believe) took a chance to call out to me, and we had a nice short chat. It’s always nice putting faces to names in email! 😀 They do sell at the artisanal bazaars around the Klang Valley like Riuh, so keep a lookout for them, if you go there. You can have a sniff at the candles, so you know what to expect.

Not long after, she offered for me to try their special edition Lilin + Co Naughty or Nice Christmas candles. and I must say that they are quite lovely! Lilin + Co have also kindly offered a discount code, so if you still need to finish off your Christmas shopping, or just want to buy something nice for yourself to help you cope with the year-end stress (I often feel more stressed and frazzled at the year end than at any other time of year!) this is your chance! 😉
