My SM Sale Haul

I am not a huge fan of SM. I only go there to buy some of my son's stuff that no other department store carries. Today was an exception. I truly enjoyed today's sale. What's not to enjoy as everything is 10% off. If you are a SMAC or BDO Rewards card holder, you get an extra 10% between 10 am to 12 pm. If you use your BDO debit card, you get a 3% rebate, more if you use your BDO credit card!

I was able to buy a few things. I stocked up on our toiletries which were on sale too. Aside from those, I got my niece this set of pambahay or lounge wear to sound sosyal.

I got my son an extra pair of swim shorts as we are going swimming for a few days.

I got him this box of crayons. I regret buying only one as the discount was super! The other one is a crayon sharpener. I had this when I was a kid. I think it's still here somewhere but I wanted my son to have his own. I'm really happy he chose the green one as green is my favorite color. 

I got him a few activity books. My son thrives on activities so I stock up on them whenever I can. 

My son's current favorite characters are Spider-Man and Iron Man. I got him this paint by numbers set. This one is going into my gift closet. 

For toys, I got him this Play-Doh milkshake maker (he is crazy about milkshakes nowadays), a Peppa Pig Rocket Ship and some Hot Wheels. These are all going into the gift closet.

This Minions Play-Doh set is for today. He's not feeling well so I decided to give him a treat. He likes Minions and Play-Doh so this set really cheered him up. 

And finally for me, I got a pair of  "errands shoes" as my trustee pair of SoFab loafers from Cebu have already retired. They served me over 3 years and have been with me to places. This pair is the perfect replacement. These are my official "mommy shoes".

Have you gone shopping at SM already? Share your haul! Leave a link to your site in the comments section below. By the way, today is Midnight Madness in Glorietta too. The sales will continue until Sunday, May 31, 2015. 

New Mugs

I started collecting mugs late last year. Here’s what’s new in my collection.



On the left is the Cath Kidston Stanley mug from my SIL. The right one, of course, is from Starbucks CDO.

Going to CDO Haul

Last February, my family and I spent a few days in CDO and Iligan. I did some last-minute shopping and ended up with these. I wanted to buy a few new toys to keep my son busy during the trip.



Matching Phineas and Ferb dining set.




My son is on a Spiderman kick so I got him a bunch of Spidey items. These are still in my gift closet.



I always buy cars for him.



Aside from Spidey, he also likes Lightning. He already knows the alphabet but I bought this set of alphabet cards for an activity.



These are to be given away as gifts.



I bought this number puzzle set and brought it to the province.



I also brought this bubble set which was a hit!

Finally, these are for my journal.

This haul was from National Bookstore and Waltermart.

OGX Brazilian Keratin Therapy

I had my hair keratin treated late last year. My stylist suggested it because he didn’t want to curl my hair. It’s still very thin due to post-pregnancy changes. I needed to maintain my new hair style so I tried this line from OGX.

These are shampoo, conditioner, oil and treatment. I use the shampoo and conditioner every day. I use the oil before blow drying my hair. As for the treatment, I use it once a week.

I purchased the trial pack first just to make sure that I won’t get an allergic reaction. Luckily, I didn’t! I have these in full sizes as well. I bring these small ones whenever we travel.






This is a great line that does its job well. I only need to blow dry my hair and it looks like I just went to a salon. I will definitely stick to this line as long as I want to maintain my straight hair.
