Let's face it, a brand new home and a brand new office will only stay fresh if it is clean. We have never been more obsessed with cleanliness and housekeeping in our lives until we started operating from a home studio.

A question that has been bugging us is how often and how long should we be cleaning certain things such as the bathroom, the fan, and our rugs? We turned to ze internetz for answers and here are seven links that we found really helpful.  

1. You can always trust Martha Stewart to have the right answers!

It is no secret that we love our music and that songs are usually blaring in the studio all day long. While thinking of a topic for this week's Sunday Sevens, we realised that the soundtrack to our past week was strangely nostalgic and multi-lingual. So, here's a look back at the past seven days and the music that came with it. 

1. The unofficial ear worm of the studio for the past few months and our favourite chorus to change the lyrics to.

2. Our personal prayer song every day of every year.

3. Our friend heard it in the gym and was reminded of Jia's husband who loves this Chinese song, and most importantly, why was the gym even playing such a song?!

4. A morbid story arose during dinner with our friends about this Cantonese song.

5. Recalling fond and hilarious memories of dance performances in secondary school.

6. There was a weird moment during the week when this song was stuck in our heads at the same time. We didn't even listen to this song! 

7. Sometimes, we like a bit of Spanish melodrama in the studio.

What was one song that featured memorably during your week?

We have been so overwhelmed with work since the end of May that we barely have the time to catch up with our friends and family members. With hectic schedules and ticking deadlines, our attempts at maintaining a clean diet has been shot as our meals mainly involves fast takeaways from eateries around us. But hooray, our first free weekend is in sight with a lighter work week ahead! To celebrate, we are hitting the grocery stores to scoop up ingredients from these recipes. 

1. What a yummy breakfast idea!

2. Beat the heat with some icy fruity goodness. 

3. Hallou, it's mi, your favourite vegetarian burger. 

4. A Kale rice bowl sounds like just the right clean meal after an oily and fried week!

5. Head down to the pool with a mojito to enjoy the weekend. 

6. Sometimes, you get the kimchi cravings and you just got to try your hand at making it. 

​7. Nothing like a decadent dark chocolate tart to end off the week.
