[SM homeworld decorates with holiday flair]

at 6:29:00 PM

i grabbed this copy from the sm megamall home store yesterday.

2011 holiday catalogue

this is a good source of holiday decorating ideas:

go visit sm home stores now to get your own copies & see their latest holiday displays.

sometime early 2009, the online magazine, DOMINO closed shop just when i was beginning to enjoy looking through the pages. i came to know about the magazine through the copies my aunt litz gave me during their last manila visit. they're back copies, yes, but i certainly don't mind, since they are page-turners.

what's inside DOMINO mag: featured homes, articles on home decorating, entertaining, editor's picks on "editor's cravings", a contributor's "10 things that make me happy", home finds on "scouting".

and because it became love-at-first-browse, i sweetly requested hubby to buy me the hard-bound DOMINO, the book of decorating which i got for more or less Php 1,300. this book is so worth the price!

by the way, a piece of good news - DOMINO magazine is now back on-line via www.brides.com. i accidentally found it while looking for interior design pictures & websites. see here and get inspired by it's many home style ideas.

[a breath of fresh air]

at 3:10:00 PM

did you know that putting house plants inside a room not only give a touch of nature in it but also make it a healthier place to be in?

from an article i read in good housekeeping, usa, a released study conducted by NASA & LANDCARE NETWORK revealed that several common house plants take away airborne toxins, such as benzene, formaldehyde & carbon monoxide from the air. in fact, they removed as much as 87% of these chemicals from the air in a 24-hour period. one plant for every 100 square feet (or 9.29 square meters) will give you the best results, with even a few plants making a difference.

consider these house plants when decorating your home:

bamboo palm

chrysanthemum

boston fern

english ivy

peace lily

spider plant

gerbera daisy

[distinctly ADELE]

at 11:38:00 PM

i first heard this chanteuse singing over jill's iPod. i like her because of her distinct soulful voice (categorized as contralto-the deepest female classical singing voice with the lowest tessitura, falling between tenor & mezzo-soprano).

ADELE or adele laurie blue adkins in real life, is a multi-awarded English singer-songwriter born on may 2, 1988. she was a graduate of the BRIT school for performing arts & technology. among her classmates were leona lewis & jessie j.

other ADELE trivia :

in 2009, she won the awards for best new artist & best female pop vocal performance
her album & album track someone like you reached no. 1 for 4 consecutive weeks
at age 4, she would impersonate the spice girls at dinner parties
1st studio album, 19 became #11 on Billboard 200 with chasing pavements in #25 & was certified gold in feb 2009
2nd studio album, 21 became #1 album ( with someone like you hitting straight to #1 in the UK singles chart & 1st single rolling in the deep hitting #1 in 8 countries including the Billboard Hot 100) in 2011
