Sunday Shopping

Watsons is on sale again and that means I need to stock up on some of our essentials. MB and I are on a tight budget as we have a lot of things going on. We finally found an apartment and it’s not the size of shoebox, thank God! That’s just one of our concerns right now so we are keeping a close watch on our budget. It’s fortunate that we ran out of body wash the same time Watsons is holding a sale. I saw in their Facebook page that they had one brand of body wash on sale for only Php99 at BOGO so I definitely had to have it. We went to SM as I thought they had plenty of stock there. Turns out, it’s sold out so we went back to Greenbelt. Before I continue, here’s what I got:

aqua vera body wash, bitsandtreats

This is the Aqua Vera Body Wash. I cleaned the shelf on this one. I mentioned that in FB, Watsons said that this costs Php99. Today it costs Php109.75. I asked the SA why the price is higher and she said that they just raised the prices. How convenient! Anyway, it’s just a few pesos and it’s still a steal so I got them all. We won’t have to buy body wash until July with this load!

watsons wet tissue, charmee, holy seat, bitsandtreats

Wet tissues are a staple in my house so I got 3 big packs. These will last us a week.  I also got some Charmee feminine wipes and Holy Seat spray. Use this spray at home and on the go.

watsons mouthwash, watsons floss, bitsandtreats

The mouthwash is also on BOGO and I’m really liking the Watsons floss – 3 boxes for 89 pesos. The round ones cost 79 for 3. I also like that they come in a plastic case that locks better than the Beabi box I bought a few years ago. When I empty a box, I remove the sticker and place knick knacks such as small clamps, hairpins, hair ties, etc. It’s a great way to organize plus this is great when I travel. I can just fill a box with all of my hair essentials and pop it in my bag. 

watsons mini wet wipes, watsons hand soap, bitsandtreats

I also bring wet tissue in my bag and these are the mini versions. The promo is buy 2 get 1 so I also got a bunch. I hope these will last me until the next sale. Finally, I got 2 bottles of hand wash also on BOGO. If you think I spent a lot on this purchase, think again. Just look at how much I saved:

This is the most savings I got on a Watsons shopping trip! Isn’t that amazing?

I also got this from NBS:

my journey pen set, bitsandtreats


I found this featured in Facebook as well. = )

my journey pens, bitsandtreats

I’m a writer so it’s only natural that I love collecting pens. Anyway, I have so many pens that I stopped buying them for several years. Now I find myself with only 2 pens left and when I saw this in FB, I knew I just had to have it! I probably won’t have to buy pens for several years again.
I’m really happy that I was able to update my stock pile without paying a lot!

    My Mom and I love it too when Watsons goes on sale like that! Everything is just so affordable that you end up hoarding. :)

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
