DIPLO GADGETS ✱ Dyson Groom – best grooming tool ever

I never thought anyone would ever invent a tool, that would make Grooming my dog a fun experience for me. I am allergic to dust and many other allergens and I have asthma. Grooming a dog can lead to watery eyes, itchy skin, sneezing, shortness of breath, sinusitis, etc. But now, I am actually able to groom DiploDog and enjoy it.

DIPLO GADGETS ✱ Dyson Tool Kit

I love my Dyson DC24 Vacuum Cleaner and I couldn’t wait to get some extensions for it! Because of it’s size, it is perfect for an apartment dweller like me, but it I wanted a longer hose for convenience and I especially wanted a wide nozzle tool for cleaning fur, dust and dust mites from the bed and couch. Yes the Dyson is so strong that with the proper tool, it can even help suck out nasty dust mites from the bed and other upholstered furniture. Check out the first toys I got for my Dyson DC24 after the jump!

DIPLO KITCHEN ♨ Fresco Ribbon Grater

DIPLO KITCHEN ♨ Fresco Ribbon Grater

I was making cupcakes yesterday and I used my fresco ribbon grater for the first time to make chocolate curls. Just wanna share this nifty little product with you because before I was using my regular cheese grater and I was always frustrated by the results, because sometimes the chocolate comes out too fine. So I finally treated myself to a Fresco ribbon grater. You can also get a Microplane Brand Ribbon Grater but it comes out more expensive because of the brand name.

DIPLO MUST-HAVE ❤ Butterfly Twists

DIPLO MUST-HAVE ❤ Butterfly Twists

As a diplomat’s wife, I attended many receptions and parties. There are many times when I have to bust out the Filipiniana gown or party dress which have to go with high heels. These receptions are usually cocktail style events with no seats and a few cocktail tables to place ones drinks on. By the end of the night my poor tootsies are hurting and I need to slip my shoes off. Now instead of waiting to get in the car to put on slippers, I have a secret weapon… Butterfly Twists which are usually tiny enough to carry in my bag! #BestInventionEVER

DIPLO GADGETS ✱ The Amazing Dyson DC24 Vacuum

DIPLO GADGETS ✱ The Amazing Dyson DC24 Vacuum

I’ve had my Dyson DC 24 vacuum cleaner for a few months now, but I wanted to write about it after using it for a couple of months to be familiar with how it works and how effective it is. I researched for a long time, saved for an even longer time, kept checking out the different models in the store for months… and it took me even longer to convince TD that we should part with the hard-earned money I saved. All in all the entire process took me 2 years before I finally took the leap and purchased my first Dyson Vacuum Cleaner – the DC 24 – and boy am I glad I did it! Photos of the unboxing and my review after the jump!

DIPLO ENTERTAINING ♨ Serving Spoon Rest and Ladle Stand

DIPLO ENTERTAINING ♨ Serving Spoon Rest and Ladle Stand

One of the things I noticed in the recent dinner party we hosted was that I didn’t know where to place the serving spoons while the lids on the different dishes were on (to keep them warm). I remembered the super cute serving spoon rest that my best friend had for her rice paddle or rice scoop. What a practical idea! The serving spoon rest kept food off the table, while allowing her  to keep the rice covered so that it stays nice & piping hot (best way to have rice!).

DIPLO ENTERTAINING ♨ Fred and Friends Half-Pint Creamer

I am obsessed with all things Fred & Friends. And I’ve eyed this Fred and Friends Half-Pint Creamer for a couple of years now. I told myself many reasons not to buy it (it’s too expensive, it’s so easily breakable, etc.) but after years of hearing me pine after this little baby, TD finally bought me one when it was on sale at Debenhams Senayan City! Woohoo!
