Around 10 years ago, Mommy Carmeling and I bought a Rainbow vacuum cleaner
It was half the price back then and Mom and I split the cost and shared it 
And after ten years, our Rainbow is still very much alive and working and in good condition.
The Rainbow resembles the Star Wars robot R2D2 and it follows you around the house while cleaning :-)
I received a Christmas letter and gift certificate from Rainbow and I was happy to accept a visit to check my Rainbow and have my staff retrained on how to use it. What a nice way to start the year with everything new and clean!
I immediately called them when the new year started and was happy to see the salesman who sold it to me, Chito! They just did not send any salesman, they sent Chito who I did not recognize as he lost a lot of weight from ten years ago. Chito has been selling Rainbow vacuums for 25 years ( since it started in the Philippines ) and has sold around 10,000 units already. WOW!
He sat and started showing me everything again. I realized that I have taken my Rainbow for granted and just left it and assumed that the household help have been using it to clean the house.
The vacuum uses water and he will show you how clear water
becomes hazy and you will see all the dust that comes from your house- the floor, curtains, mattress, pillows etc. This photo was the first vacuuming we did for the floor in ten seconds only
Vacuumed the pillow for around 10 seconds just to demonstrate to my household staff
And already plenty dust. Though the pillows are regularly rainbowed according to my staff, Adet
The most dust was from the curtains. This was just one side of the curtains. If that is not vacuumed, then that goes to the air and we breath it
There are different brushes for different uses.
There are companies that offer their services to clean your mattresses for dust mites- they just use a rainbow. Here are the dustmites in your mattresses, pillows, sofas, YIKES!
Why not have your own Rainbow and just do it yourself? Once every three months will be good enough.
I am now going to regularly check on the staff and make sure they Rainbow the house regularly and properly.
For those that do not own one yet, It’s about time you have a Rainbow. Heart2Heart highly recommends the Rainbow Vaccum. Ten years ago, I was pregnant when Chito came over and right there and then I bought one because I wanted my house to be clean for all of us especially my new baby at that time. I have friends who have Rainbows too and are very happy. One of my friends has two and keeps one per floor and makes sure they Rainbow her house everyday instead of using a broom.
Call Chito and give him a chance to demonstrate and show you. There is no cost for this and no commitments. I told him to expect calls from Heart2Heart friends
It is one of the best investments I have made for me and my family.

Javier’s school had an activity which I thought was great for the kids…I just wish they had one for the boys :-)
Notice the cream dispenser in Chef Brian Mc Kenna’s hand?
It’s one of the essential tools for his type of gourmet cooking because of the espumas, foams, and flavored air involved. It’s not just for coffee and dessert!
Every high end hotel and restaurant is now seeing dispensers as an essential piece of equipment as they can do things you cannot do with a traditional pastry piping bag.
These highly durable Swiss made whipped cream dispensers instantly transform cream into a whipped topping. Use it for coffee, cakes, waffles, fresh fruits. Considered as the highest quality of whipped cream dispenser in the market by professionals and experts. Both the head and the bottle of the cream dispenser are made of anodized aluminum without being welded. Unlike welded steel bottles, this one will not oxidize.
Fifty years of Swiss craftmanship and technology of whipped cream dispenser making is perfected with this model. It comes with two decorating tips for beautiful whipped cream.

Apparently, the maker of my favorite packing cubes ( Packing Cubes February 26, 2009 ) was my classmate in Ateneo when we were second year college. Small world! Thanks San San for sending me a printed version of my favorite packing cube set!!! Now I have another set to use for travelling.
And thanks for making it easier for me to organize by including the instructions! :-)
