People do not find a welcoming idea that of taking care of the home. More often than not we are the last ones to raise our hands up to show initiative in preparing dishes, baking some goodies, and washing utensils. It seems that our mother's plea on us to hit the kitchen falls on deaf ears. Well, who could blame us? The government does not put the same emphasis on H.E. as in 3Rs; the society we belong to is very fond of hustle and bustle, hence, also its daughter, fast food chains; and lastly, the environment seems to be hostile to home managers simply by looking down upon them (literally), if not by frowning. These are enough reasons to (almost) kill the home. But, thanks to the booming food industry and lifestyle shows we are witnessing a more positive perspective about home.
As GUTSY Fashion team believes in the dignity of the person, closely connected to this is his/her need to belong to a family and to a home. As a way to help people rediscover the importance of the home in a society we are featuring a fashion article that is close to cooks/chefs' heart. Our message for today: being "manang" inside your home is a no-no. Take out your sewing items and some textile and start making your own apron!
