Shopping Post

I did some major, major shopping yesterday at Glorietta/Greenbelt and at Powerplant last Friday. There are times in a month when I just want to shop, shop and shop some more! Here’s what I got:

shopaholic and baby, floral notebook and xywhite toothpaste, by bitsandtreats

From Powerplant – a notebook because I need to make plans, Shopaholic & Baby because I’m not yet through with the Shopaholic series. I’m currently reading Shopaholic Ties the Knot. This was on 20% discount because of the British-Filipino Friendship Month. I also bought a few things at PCX including this Xywhite toothpaste which I will make a review of in the future.

boxed tissues, TFS nail polish, TFS nose hair scissors, ellana brush cleaner, by bitsandtreats

Ellana brush cleaner from SM, The Face Shop nose hair scissors for the boy and nail polish for me and some boxed tissues from Landmark.

I got this transparent bag with pouch free at Watsons because I bought these:

I bought facial tissues, wet tissues, Charmee, a headband from Nouveau, Monea Curl Defining Milk Lotion, some vitamins, Kleenex oil blotter, Sunsilk green shampoo and some hand wash (not in the photo). I wasn’t planning on overspending but as I approached Watsons Greenbelt 1, the word SALE was in red posters! I felt giddy and stocked up on items I frequently use. The bag is free when you purchase at least Php800 with at least one of the participating promo items. In this case, it was the Kleenex oil blotting film. MB was having his hair cut done next door so he was shocked to see this haul. Haha!

Finally, our first Havaianas!

I was planning on buying Ipanemas but Havaianas was on sale at 30% and I couldn’t resist! MB was having my SIM fixed at Globe Glorietta so I wandered off on my own in search of treasures and this is what I found. You should have seen his face when I handed his bag complete with a card. He said, “you bought me Havaianas?” (in a whisper) like it was the most expensive thing in the world. Haha! It was priceless, I tell you.  MB is a very simple guy who grew up in the province. He rarely buys things for himself so he gets very happy (sometimes emotional, sssssh!) when I surprise him with stuff.

It’s Sunday today and we’re supposed to do the groceries. I’m running late as I slept at 2 AM. (Thanks Kitten for keeping me company!). I forgot to buy a few things yesterday (I got distracted, okay?) and I’ll probably go shopping again today. It’s really great to be a girl!

    WOW, MAJOR MAJOR haul E! I haul tissues too, the book is good btw, I finished it na, as usual very quirky like the other series. I won't spoil the story na, hehe.

    How much is the nose scissors? need to buy for M too, hehe. I could actually imagine that scenario, haha. I super laughed when I read it.

    Oh joy! I definitely know the feeling of excitement seeing the word SALE at watson's, M just keeps quiet when I drag him. I'd have to agree being a girl rocks. Most welcome, I'm a vampire, awake at night.

    I started the Shopaholic series when it first came out pero I can't seem to finish them or buy them all in one go. I get distracted by other books. Haha! Pero I think every time I buy Shopaholic books, they're always on sale! Score!

    Php75 lang ang scissors! Yeah, sometimes MB is like that too. But he gets excited when I buy his kikay stuff!

    Kamusta mo ko kay Edward at kay Bill Compton!

    I see, lucky naman, the only Shopaholic I owned is the, Ties the knot, the others I just borrowed from my sister. But I'm planning to buy the whole series and when M and I have bought a house na or condo I plan to have a library of it.

    Oh, cheap ha? thanks for the heads up, will buy it for him, ka irita sometimes when I see some hair peeking, hahaha. M rin eh, I guess they like the fact that we buy them their kikay stuff.

    HAHAHA! Sureness! Will see if their at work later, lol.

    There are two things that I will have in my life, no matter what - a walk-in closet and a library. Period.

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
