EMPOWERED MOM

Last Saturday, we went off as early as 4 in the morning to move our stuff to our new apartment, and our parent’s belongings to the new place where they shall be temporarily staying while waiting for the great move in “the house up there”. It was quite a taxing move, but it’s all worth it.

At our apartment, there are quite a few changes that we shall apply. Like putting up of the curtains as the place would look dull without them. The wooden flooring need to be shined with wax every now and then. I need to find a really nice rug to match the decor, as well as provide a better sitting area. We shall still be using the throw pillows instead of huge couches. Kind of similar to a Japanese sitting area. I would also place my “Butsudan” there so it kind of works through the decorating scheme.. As for the kitchen, my sister and I decided to place velcro on screen sheets to detach them whenever we shall cook in the kitchen area.

So far so good. But the water has not been restored yet so we wait final moving until there’s water already…

It might be the last thing on your mind when planning a long weekend away, but those huge, built up laundry piles aren’t going to wash themselves when you get back. If a weekend away in the great outdoors is on the cards for you soon, then you’ll want to know your washing machine can handle what’s going to be thrown at it.

Don’t worry if your washer isn’t quite up to the task – there are plenty of models out there that can take care of outdoor wear and tackle tough stains. One programme to look out for is the dedicated sportswear option. This cycle is specially designed to take extra care of breathable fabrics, while giving you a deep, thorough clean. You’ll find this programme on many of LG’s premium washing machines, such as the F1479FDS.

In fact, the F1479FDS was born to tackle mammoth weekend washing piles. Take its huge 9kg drum for example. A drum of this size can hold 45 T-shirts worth of laundry at any one time. Now, we know you won’t just be washing T-shirts, but that should give you a good idea of how much you’ll be able to pack into this one.

Another one of LG’s great innovations is their TrueSteam™ system. If your family comes back home with a load of dried-on mud and grass stains, there’s nothing better than the power of steam to shift them. As steam particles are smaller than water droplets, they can penetrate deeper into your fabrics and give you a more thorough clean.

Look out for LG’s 6 Motion™ technology too. Models with this feature use six unique drum rotation combinations which are tailored to different fabrics. The intensive scrubbing motion is particularly effective at banishing those stains out of your weekend washing.
