  • Life in Puerto Rico is never dull, and this week was no exception! From a New Year’s Eve blackout to navigating Costco without power, I’m giving you a real look at island living. Come along as I tackle my clo-ffice cleanup in Carolina, check on work during the outage, and show you how Sergio worked his magic in the kitchen for our cozy night. Plus you get to see the Fireworks. It’s a whirlwind week you don’t want to miss!

    Happy new year. Thankfully we had a generator and were able to cook for new years. Mold is an issue due to humidity but bleach and white vinegar are both great to get rid of it.

    Agreeable grey for the office / closet. Even though a color pop would be nice in that space. Check out esmerelda , it's a beautiful color.

    • @AnaSantapau
      @AnaSantapau  26 днів тому

      I was thinking Accessible Beige since I used it on the House Reno I really liked it . But I’m gonna sample it here first see how it looks cause it might look too similar to what I have already. Esmeralda sound too colorful for me , since I stick to neutrals .

    Happy new year to both. The only way to kill mold is to use vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to kill the roots. Bleach won’t do it. Cleaning and moving furniture is my exercise but decorating hits my creative button. I think you need more tall storage bc you have a lot of low pieces good luck.

    • @AnaSantapau
      @AnaSantapau  27 днів тому +2

    • @AnaSantapau
      @AnaSantapau  22 дні тому +1

      I can speak for myself and my family that shops there. They are legit, whether you want to trust or not trust an Asian company is up to you. I don’t see how it’s unsafe but people
      are concern for their personal info, yet Facebook and other outlets take your info too. I don’t see the difference.

I had an issue with a nail on one of my toes, and i used this oil for anything and everything, pimples, cuts, etc. And it always work! Please, listen to me and try it. Just put it on your toe eceryday at night and put a sock thru the night, you going to remember me after a week or so!!☝️Hope you get better soon , saluditos chica from Florida. Good job on fixing your home and your boyfriend's home and showing real life in PR..but it's a beautiful island after all. We all proud of it no matter what!😂😊❤🫶🙏🤝😢🏝🏝🏝⛰️⛰️⛰️

Unfortunately, LUMA was not the best choice for "fixing" the terrible mismanagement that the Government and local power agency for the last 20-30 years. Hopefully with the new P.R. Governor commitment to cancel the LUMA contract will bring some better changes for the resident of P.R. We'll see, fingers crossed...:)
