Random fact my dudes, Ikea is the largest home furnishing retailer sa buong mundo at di lang yan.

Ang Ikea Pasa ay ang pinakamalaking Ikea store sa buong universe.

Philippines! Philippines! Philippines!

Anyway, today ngayong araw, irerade natin itong studio ni Crystal kung saan niya ginagawa ang ating Madud Candles.

And titignan natin kung magkano ang nagastos niya sa mga shinapping niya na Ikea furnitures and accessories.

Alrighty, here we are. And don't ask me about this door.

Hindi rin ako malaking fan nitong Shawarma Garfield kare-kare colored door.

Anyway, itong studio ni Crystal is recently updated.

So we went from dark heavy furnitures to these very awesome Scandinavian furnitures na galing sa Ikea.

So when we say Scandinavian, it is this style ng design that focuses on functionalism and minimalism.

So Ikea products are the best representation of that kasi yung products nila malinis tignan, very functional,

and it makes small spaces like this look much larger.

And not to mention, sustainable pa ito at a relatively affordable price which pag-uusapan natin yun mamaya.

Anywho, let's move on dito sa unang work surface ni Crystal.

So this is where she prepares and packs yung mga candle orders for shipping.

So for the table surface, we bought this.

Ikea Linman table top.

To be honest, medyo naingit ako dito sa tables niya.

Tapos, dalawa pa yung binili niyang tables.

So that's a pretty good move, my dudes. I'm not gonna lie.

Now, at first, medyo nabahala ako kasi medyo magaan itong ating table top.

But upon closer inspection and testing, nagulat ako na very, very sturdy siya.

And the reason for that is because gumamit sila ng honeycomb structure sa loob nitong table top na ito

para less ang romance.

So for this one table, it costs 1,190 pesos para sa ating table top and then another 1,200 pesos para sa apat na legs.

A little under 2,500 pesos for this whole table and I'm pretty happy sa presyo na yan.

Affordable and sustainable.

Now, above this table, andyan yung packaging paper holders ni Crystal.

Hindi ko talaga alam yung tawag sa papel na yan.

Invento ko lang yun.

For all I know, this could be called sunburned Manila paper.

But you know, for now, we'll just call it packaging paper.

Anyway, yung holders na humahawak dyan sa ating packaging paper ay yung Nerebi from Ikea

which costs around 250 pesos.

And I love the way it looks.

Very, very functional.

So pag sinabi nating functional, it means isang tingin mo pa lang.

Alam mo na yung gamit.

Function ng isang bagay.

So ito mukha siyang sabitan ng papel and mga tapes.

That's because it is a sabitan.

So straightforward and simple.

Moving on sa tabi nito, we have the tower of printers ni Crystal.

So from the top, we have some speakers, a CNC cutter, pangkat ng mga stickers and whatnots.

And then sa ilalim nito, we have the Cavizel letter tray.

Of course, galing Ikea rin.

So this one looks really, really sleek.

And nagulat ako kasi nung binuhat ko siya, medyo mapigat pala ito.

And surprisingly matibay.

That is because gawa ito sa bakal, my dudes.

So isang advantage ng bakal yung pagkakagawa nito ay hindi siya ganung kadali masira.

And mas matibay siya, meaning less waste para sa ating environment.

So pagdating naman natin dito sa baba, oh my God, what the emotional damage.

The cable management, my dudes, like what do you, where do you,

how do you, ayusin ko ito.

Pag nagka-time ako, I deeply apologize for that.

Order na lang ulit siguro kami ng Ikea cable management doodads para may tagoy ang mga yan.

Which by the way, my dudes, pwede na kayong magpabudol sa Ikea online.

Kung saan pwede kayong umorder, then have it delivered directly sa bahay nyo.

Or you can pick them up yourself at certain Ikea collection points.

Okay, moving on from that wiring disaster which I am now going to block with my body.

So that you don't see it.

Dito naman na tayo sa workstation ni Crystal.

And oh my goodness, what is that?

Bakit naka-portrait yung kanyang mousepad?

Okay, so aside from that, I really like what Crystal did here.

As you can see, naka-elevate yung kanyang laptop.

Then, mayroon din siyang drawer dito for organizational purposes.

So this is a great use of space pag di natin ginagamit yung keyboard.

Naka-tuck in siya dyan.

Then labas lang natin.

And dahil nga nakaangat itong ating laptop, mas ergonomic na siya kasi halos ka-eye level ko ito.

Which is typically what you want your screen to be at is ka-eye level para makaiwas tayo sa back pain.

Kasi pag mababa yan, tendency mo nakaganon ka.

So this mahiwagang ergonomic bagay na pang padiretso ng likod is another item from Ikea.

So this is the 11 monitor stand.

I believe ganon yung pagkakapronounce.

11?

I love it.

Naka-elevate na yung jokes natin.

Pero, paro ba?

Anyway, kung titignan natin dito is naka-mechanical keyboard din pala si Crystal.

So props for using a mechanical keyboard.

All in all, I would give this desk setup a 12 over 10.

Kasi dati meron siyang heavy black looking table na gawa sa bakal dito.

But now, pinalitan na namin.

It looks much more maaliwalas and magaan sa pakiramdam.

All thanks to these items that we got from Ikea.

All of these items, napansin ko na naging mas passionate si Crystal mag-work.

So she spends more time working here now.

Moving on, sa tabi niyang table na yan is we have this fiddle leaf fig.

So this fiddle leaf fig, estimate ko around 8 feet tall to.

As you can see, halos kahit ko na siya.

Around 7 foot 3 lang kasi ako eh.

Medyo nabansot ako ng onte.

Ayon yung maniwala, sukatin natin.

We have a metal right here.

And oh!

Oh no, nasira yung metro.

Hindi ko na masukat.

Obvious kasi nungalik yan.

Aside sa likod ng workstation ni Crystal, may kita natin na meron tayong malaking window

which provides tons of natural light dito sa studio space ni Crystal.

Kaya mukhang maaliwalas dito sa umaga.

Sa gabi, close mo na lang yan kasi baka merong manananggal na makakita sa'yo.

Kidnapin ka.

So aside from the manananggal, another downside ng manalaking windows tulad nito,

ay yung heat.

Luckily, north facing windows ito.

Ibig sabihin, north yan.

And because of that, limited lang indirect sunlight na papasok dito sa kwarto na ito.

Pero marami pa rin nice soft diffused light na pumapasok.

So yung mga diffused light is perfect for indoor plants like this fiddle leaf fig.

Now, let us proceed dito sa candle pouring station ni Crystal.

So on this side, meron tayong Ikea eket cabinets.

And sa loob nito, we have some of Crystal's candle pouring stuff.

Some madud candles, pampabango ng buhay nyo.

Hurry, while stocks last.

Shameful plug aside, itong eket cabinets, I believe, cost around 6,300 pesos each.

So meron tayong tatlo dyan.

You do the math.

Pero in my opinion, sulit naman siya since madali lang namin ito na-assemble.

And yung material nito, gawa siya sa particle board, which is made out of recycled wood.

Wood from sawmill waste na kinukompress nila.

Then, ginagaw ang boards.

Tapos, papatungan lang nila ng veneer tulad nitong white na veneer dito to make it durable and longer lasting.

And isa pang kaganda ng particle boards, my dudes, ay madali itong ma-recycle to be repurposed as a different type of product in the future.

So ang Ikea products get a 12 over 9 score for me dahil sa sustainability nila, ease of assembly,

and syempre, yung itsura.

Now, sa taas nitong ating sideboard cabinets, we have some plants and...

Aha!

Andito pala nakalagay yung sabaw ng mang inasal.

Kaya pala, never ako nabigyan ng sabaw.

Napakalayo ng pagkukuhana nila.

Actually, itong mga ito, my dudes, ay yung wax melters ni Crystal na ginagamit niya for melting her candle wax.

So I like it. Very, very bulalo chic.

Also, yung mga yan ay nakapatong dito sa...

Ikea Variera Shelf Inserts, which we repurposed para gawing platform dito sa ating wax melters.

So according to Crystal, maganda itong mga platform na ito dahil kahit puno itong dalawang ito ng wax,

ay hindi siya nagwi-wiggle, jiggle, jiggle for sure.

Also, kaya namin tinaas ay para pag nagbubuhos ng wax, boom! Sakto yung pitcher sa ilalim.

Now, katabi naman ito, we have the Ikea Scadis Pegboard.

Of course, nung nakita ko,

bumili si Crystal nito, ay bumili rin ako para sa akin, pero hindi ko pa namamag.

But you know, yung kagandahan nitong Scadis ay gawa siya sa fiberboard, which is a durable material na gawa sa leftover wood.

So, imbis na masasayang yung kahoy na yun, nire-purpose ng Ikea pang gawa nitong Scadis Pegboards nila.

So, sa harap naman niyang ating Scadis Pegboard, meron tayo nitong lucky hand-waving pusa ni Crystal,

which every business owner needs this.

Pang-attract daw yan ng swerte.

Like, hindi ko talaga sure kung para saan yan.

So, let's just move on dito sa central workspace ni Crystal.

So, dito, makikita natin ay meron tayong adjustable na work table with a lag cap, 10 table top,

and some mid-back adjustable legs from Ikea.

So, itong mid-back na legs ay pwede natin siya gawing seating position.

So, naibababa siya, and naitataas din siya, katulad nito, to a standing position.

So, titignan natin ang malapitan, meron tayong adjustment holes.

Ililipat lang natin itong peg dyan para maibaba itong buong ito.

You can adjust this, depende kung gaano kahaba yung leeg mo.

And also, pwede din itong gawing slanted table para sa mga drawerists and artists out there.

Now, this table costs around Php 1,390 para sa table top and around Php 3,600 para sa ating legs.

So, kung papansinin natin itong mid-back ay mukha siyang harang sa sidewalk,

but actually, yung ganitong form is called a trestle, and it is very, very sturdy.

Kaya nga mataas yung grades nito, because it's always sturdy.

Anyway, gawa din nito sa birch, so makikita.

Son of a birch!

So, makikita natin, maganda yung kahoy niya.

So, gawa ito sa birch, which is a really...

really nice type of wood, so very, very durable type of wood, renewable, and recyclable.

Okay, so 100% ng wood na ginagamit ng IKEA is sourced from sustainable sources,

meaning, may dinaanang matinding requirements para masiguro nilang galing ito

sa responsibly managed forest na hindi nakakasama sa environment.

So, isa yun sa mga rason kung bakit IKEA furniture and accessories yung pinili namin ilagay dito,

because they make an effort to make sure na sustainable,

yet affordable ang kanilang mga products.

Actually, pag binisita nyo yung website, I'm sure ma-addict din kayo mag-add to cart.

They have so much products for every space ng bahay nyo.

I mean, look how Crystal Studio turned out.

Nakakaingan nyo talaga magtrabaho dito.

Pinadali nitong furniture na ito yung workflow niya.

So, from receiving orders dito, what? May order ako.

Naka-off yung screen, how do I know?

Business-mindedness.

So, bad Tito jokes aside, tulad ng sinasabi ko,

yung workflow ni Crystal is makaka-receive ng orders dito, ibe-verify,

and then from there, mag-move on to creating your orders.

So, ipopore na yung wax dito sa likod.

Boom!

And then, from there, hahaluan ng scents yung kanyang wax,

and ipopore na into these candle containers tulad nito.

And then, pag fully cured na yung candles na yan, ititrim yung kanyang wicks,

ilalagay dito sa order.

Baskets, and then dadalhin dito sa area na ito for packaging and printing of labels.

Magmula dito, boom! Tapos, your order is sent out.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

So, for now, maliit lang itong studio ni Crystal for our small business,

pero tulad din yan ng sustainability.

What better way than to start small and start here?

And eventually, yung maliliit na steps mo will bring you to a much bigger,

So, kung gusto nyo mag-shopping but still abide by the hashtag sustainable life code,

go and visit ikea.ph to shop online or go to their Pasay City physical store

and experience the IKEA furnitures and accessories in person.
