No-Fail Kitchen Hacks to Save Time and Money

Whether you’ve only started living independently or are inspired to take your ‘adulting’ journey up a notch, knowing how to efficiently cook and prepare food while staying on a budget is a fundamental skill you need to master.

If you are a dormer under budget or a busy yuppie, you would be surprised to know that there are many ways to help you cut down on costs and time.



When it seems like finding your place in the kitchen is a daunting task, here are no-fail kitchen hacks you might find useful if you want to save time, money and effort:

·         Keep greens fresh by wrapping them with a damp paper towel

People love buying lots of greens with the full intention of eating better, but many of us still end up throwing them out after a few days. Stop wasting food and money by keeping leafy vegetables in a plastic bag or food keeper lined with slightly damp paper towel before putting them in the fridge. Paper towels absorb excess moisture from the greens, prevent slime, and help keep them longer.

·         Prepare and store single-serve portions

If you’re living solo, preparing dishes can be too tedious if you’re only making a meal for one. To make your efforts worth it, cook up a big batch then store them into single-serve portions in a zip lock bag or airtight container and store them in the freezer. You can stock up on different dishes for days and just take them out when you’re ready to reheat and eat.

·         Preheat your pan or toaster properly

The simple act of properly preheating your pan prevents food from sticking most of the time, evenly distributes heat and speeds up cooking time. Place your pan over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then put in a few drops of water to test it. You’ll know the pan is ready when water glides around like a smooth bead.

·         Invest in kitchen fuel that lasts long

Kitchen fuel might seem trivial but ensuring its quality and value for money is a life hack worth trying. Make sure your LPG tanks weigh exactly as advertised so you know that it will last according to your usage – less miscalculation, no unexpected budget changes, and guaranteed value for money.

You can concentrate on perfecting your basic cooking knowledge if your kitchen fuel is already taken care of! Having a safe and trusted kitchen fuel like Solane LPG is a sulit investment for newbies in the kitchen because verified Solane LPGs go through the Timbang Challenge, guaranteeing that you get the exact amount and quantity you paid for.

Solane also conducts the 7-point Safety Check, an exclusive service provided to all Solane LPG home delivery customers nationwide, to ensure that your LPG is safely installed and that your burner produces a blue flame to maintain the quality of your gas appliance.

Collecting time-tested tips and tricks in the kitchen and investing in safe and quality LPG will make life as a cooking newbie less intimidating. To order Verified Solane LPG, customers may call the Hatid Bahay Hotline - (02) 8887-5555, send a message to 0918-887-5555 (Smart) / 0917 8977555 (Globe) or the Solane Facebook page, or place their orders through the Solane app.  Customers may also place an order through the Web Ordering Platform.

Bring out healthy, sexy skin in just two days

SUPERCHARGE YOUR SKIN WITH THIS BREAKTHROUGH COMBO: HYALURONIC ACID + MARULA OIL



Hyaluronic acid and marula oil are the hottest actives in modern skincare. If used independently, each ingredient can give your skin nourishment. Put them together, and their benefits complement each other to bring out your best skin that will make you feel sexy from within!

Hyaluronic Acid, or Hyaluronan, is naturally produced by the body and is mostly found in the skin. Its main function is to retain water in your skin layers—when kept at optimal levels, it helps retain moisture and suppleness in the skin, speeds up healing, and has anti-bacterial properties.

On the other hand, Marula Oil is a newcomer in the beauty oil market and is native to South Africa. It contains antioxidants, amino and fatty acids that have anti-aging, anti-UV, and anti-dryness benefits, which makes it perfect for those living in tropical countries like the Philippines.




While either ingredient can work effectively from one another, you can still enjoy both and get their benefits through the NEW Avon Skin So Soft Supercharged Multivitamin Hand & Body Lotion with SPF 6 that also nourishes your skin with essential vitamins up to 10 layers deep!

MultiVitamin Charged Complex provides essential building blocks like Vitamins A, B3, B5, C, and E—all of which help maintain intense nourishment and protection for your skin.

To ensure these sexifying vitamins and ingredients stay with you, Deep Absorb Technology helps penetrate through the skin’s 10 layers for deep hydration and nourishment to bring out that healthy and sexy skin from within.

Finally, through HydroBoost Technology, every application of Avon Skin So Soft Supercharged Multivitamin Hand & Body Lotion with SPF 6 ensures a healthy dose of Hyaluronic Acid and Marula Oil that instantly locks in and boosts moisture.

“Avon believes that everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin and that can start by having a healthy one,” shares Dione Cotoco, Avon Philippines’ Head of Beauty. “That is why we are bringing together all these high-performing ingredients, essential multivitamins, and exclusive technologies that will help you get the ultimate skin softness and radiance.”

The NEW Avon Skin So Soft Supercharged Multivitamin Hand & Body Lotion with SPF 6 is dermatologically tested, provides 48-hour moisturization, is suitable for everyday use, and is available in 250mL size.

SM Cares welcomes back the Autism Society group in the mall with sensory-friendly screening of ‘Lightyear’

After a couple of challenging years, SM Cares welcomes back to its mall its partners from the Autism Society Philippines (ASP) for the sensory-friendly screening of the movie “Lightyear” in SM North Edsa. 

The Lights Up, Sound Down project, supported by SM Cinema and Press Play Pictures Philippines, Inc, gives opportunity for individuals with autism to enjoy watching movies in a safe and accepting environment. Adjustments in the lights and sound are made to reduce stress and sensory sensitivity.  The audience are also free to move around and make noise while watching.

 


“It has always been our goal to create a warm, friendly, safe and inclusive experience for our children. We know that for families of children with autism, going to the movies is really a challenge. So we bring back this program for your kids to enjoy,” says Engr. Bien Mateo, SM Supermalls Senior Vice President for Mall Operations.

“Since we are in a compassionate environment, everyone can enjoy the movie experience. To be inclusive means accessibility for all,” says Mona Magno-Veluz, ASP National President.

“After two years of not being able to go out, many children were thrilled to finally be able to go to the mall and see their peers. The children are happy because they were able to interact with others again, and it somehow made them feel that things are back to normal,” says Dang Uy Koe, ASP Chair Emeritus.

 


For Arlene Padilla, aunt of 13-year-old Keisha Cazzandra Quiambao, the special sensory-friendly screening was an enjoyable experience. “This is her first time watching a movie in a theater. At first, she was scared.  She usually covers her ears when it’s noisy, but as the film went on, she began to enjoy it. We hope more events like this will be organized to include people with disabilities,” Padilla said.

The Lights Up, Sounds Down Sensory-Friendly Screening is just one of the many programs of SM Cares that caters to the PWD sector. The event also supports the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly "SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being", and “SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities”.

 

SM Cares is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of SM Prime Holdings, with programs that support communities, promote social inclusion, and care for the environment. Aside from the program on PWDs, its advocacies include Programs for the Environment, Women & Breastfeeding Mothers, Children & Youth, Senior Citizens, and the SM Bike-friendly initiative.
