The Shopaholic In Me

With the rising cost of gas prices, most shoppers are now trying an easy and convenient way to shop and that is through online shopping. A few years ago this concept was not well received by computer users because of privacy issues but with the latest upgrades ensuring customers that their personal information are safe and secured, it has become a growing trend not just in the US but in other countries as well.

Online shopping is ideal for individuals with a busy work and lifestyle. If you are someone who can’t find the time to hit the mall or grocery for a few items, you can easily get everything you need with just a few mouse clicks. It also saves you from wasting time in long lines and traffic especially during the busy Holidays season. Now finding a gift could be relatively easy as websites have different product categories to make the search stress free.

Another perks of online shopping is that it provides you the opportunity to compare prices from different websites in order to get the best deals. With traditional shopping you’re only provided with limited selection but online stores carry a wide variety of choices. These are just some of the reasons why online shopping is becoming a trend among smart shoppers who wish to save on money and energy.

Our December travel vacation is fast approaching and i am making a number of lists already. One, I need to make a new list again of all the godchildren my husband and I have. I need to start shopping for them since we will be gone for the season. Oh yeah, I am a good godmother who never fails to give gifts for my godchildren during Christmas.  Second, I also need to make a list of things I would need to get in outlets and stores in US. To say that I am excited is actually an understatement! (lol!). The only concern now is how to save enough so I could do a shopping splurge while we are there. Topping my list is actually to look for some nice and cute Childrens Bedding. We are rearranging the kids room so they can start sleeping on their own room by next year.  I also need to get some pretty lamps and accessories to complement a girly room.  Aside from that, I am also thinking to get some decal stickers which we can use to aesthetically decorate the walls of the room.  On the other hand, I am also looking forward in buying a new set of cookwares.  I hope to find a good deal on a Calphalon set.  I want to get the non-stick 14-pieces set.  Gosh, but we need to travel all the way to Gilroy Premium Outlet just to buy it at a great price.  I hope I can get to convince my husband to travel extra 4 hours for it.  Hmm, I’m sure my list will be a lengthy one.  I better finish it now.

It has been a buzz in Twitterlandia with my online friends for the past few weeks. All mommies are wanting to get hold of these cute animal bags for their sons and daughters. I wasn’t spared to the trend. I also indulge myself to buy for my two girls. It was hard to choose what design to get as I want to buy all of them. I asked each my girls to choose what they like and instantly Bianca said she likes the Penguin…

Margaux of course would choose something in pink, so I got the mouse for her…

Both bags are so cute. In fact, the other designs are lovely too.

Now, the husband complains that I always buy for the girls but I seldom do get something for him. Oh, he was just teasing because he actually just want me to get him new sport tees from coogi. Let me check the site and spoil my man this time

It’s new year so time for some new wardrobe! Although I have not used phentermine, a number of people are saying that I have lost some weight. Those are actually music to my ears! I survived the holiday season and I’m happy about it. So my first agenda for the year, hoard in Zara sale! Lol! I was literally in the Shangri-la branch upon opening of the store. I got less items compared to last year but I am very happy with my wise purchases. Yes, you read it right, wise! I’m a changed woman! Lol!

With just few days before Christmas, everyone is gearing for some shopping and bargain hunting. I’m pretty sure my credit card would have major beating again as I would be buying gifts for friends and family. Will have lots of stuff which would go through the barcode scanner for those dates that I would shop. I want to start early actually and hopefully finish my gift-shopping before December even starts. Good luck to me!

Yes, had a divi trip yesterday with my friends. Had it for a whole day and I was dead tired when I arrived home. But I was very happy to buy a lot of stuff. Aside from getting loots for Bianca’s birthday celebration in school tomorrow, I was able to grab some nice items for giveaways this coming christmas. Found affordable scales which we can raffle off for our party. Got cute convertible foldable bags for prizes, and even gifts for classmates of my kids. And I was even able grab like 3 blouses and 1 dress from Juana, a cheap store for nice clothes for ladies.  Oh, the trip was all worth it, good buys coupled with nice company, it was a great one!

(that is tomorrow) because of this…

I would be there from opening hour. It’s my 2nd DK’s birthday tomorrow too so that’s where I would also get her birthday present. Would be getting gifts for the exchange gifts we have on Sunday and of course, I’m ready with my list for Christmas. I hope they have nice stuff and that they have really slashed off in prices.

The husband woke me up early this morning as he wanted to go to the mall to buy something. At first, he actually didn’t want to divulge yet what he plans to buy. I was secretly hoping it was for me but he was asking me to come with him in a wrong mall if what he planned to purchase was for me. I was hoping it would be in greenbelt 4 or 5, lol! But instead he dragged me to SM Megamall. We arrived early than expected since there was no traffic at all and the mall opened at 12nn. We were there a little before 11am. Anyway, he already told me while we were waiting in the car that he plans to buy something for the house. Thought, he might be thinking to replace all our lighting inside as he was telling me about using some LED lights already. Oh well, it wasn’t a simple purchase actually but after looking for his choices for hours, (yes, took him forever!) he got a new home theater system.

My CC had so much beating as well during our time in the mall because as he was practically comparing his options, I got my free time to move around in the home department area.  I got few stuff for the house too.

The shopping today was totally for our loving abode.

As I was looking around for some cigar brands as souvenirs for the male entourage of one of our weddings, I saw this store in Shangri-la Mall.  Went it and tried to a couple of shoes.  I saw these nice ones at a very affordable prices. These were just a little over a thousand.  But I actually didn’t bring home any.  I refrain from buying.  It’s a nice to have but not actually a need.  I was behaved! lol!

Before I read more about apidexin scam and prove my friend that it has no side effect, let me share my latest addictions…Accessories! Yes, I recently have fondness with accessories. I love to doll up depending on what I am wearing for the day. This one, I recently got from HongKong.  It even has a matching bracelet and the price was a steel for like 50HKD only!  Got this from one of the stores in The Peak.  Sorry, I lost memory of the store name. But the chinese owner said they only have one store in the whole of HongKong. I will definitely go back to it as they really have nice pieces.  I regret not hoarding a lot!

My twitter friends are addicted to Long Champ bags. It’s funny how one can influence one to get new Long Champ bags. From Le Pliage, to Planetes to now limited editions. I am one of them. After the eiffel tower, these are my new limited editions. We are all convinced that we should all get one since we are asians anyway. Not just one but two when I went to Hong Kong. My girlfriends are ecstatic after I brought home their LCs as well. Meet my new multivitamins, lol! Not a health vitamins actually but my own doze of vitamins :p
