Soft Luxe Travels: Marilao - Pampanga - Tarlac - and Back to Bulacan Part 3: Journey Home and Shopping in Bulacan

 


On the way home, we stopped by a Shell stopover center, so that Kuya Fil can have some coffee and everyone can use the bathroom. However, this place had outlet stores of big brands like Adidas, Skechers, Crocs, Giordano, etc. And you know what that means, right? Shopping! 

We all met at Select to eat. I ordered this triple chocolate cookie, which was sooo good. 



My sister and the rest had this ham and cheese turnover, but Kuya Fil didn't like it as it was too tough. Mom also said that it was hard to chew. 

My sister ordered this. This is a milk chocolate bun, I think. 

I ordered corned beef pandesal. This was good. 

 I only ate a small piece. My sister also tasted it. I didn't notice the cute plastic pouch before.

While eating, Kuya FIl showed us pictures of luggages that were on BOGO. He was thinking of buying one, but decided that he will buy them when he decides to go abroad. 



Aside from bags (cover photo), they also had shoes. I was choosing from these:


I went home with this design and color, as seen in this post.




We got these luggages:



This pair is my son's 

This pair is also for my son. 

And we got Kuya Fil a pair of shoes, too! I told Kuya Fil that he has good taste in shoes! I like this style.

We got free slippers. 

The staff who attended to us was very patient and nice. We were there for a long time. We kept asking for sizes and stocks. It took us a long time because most of the styles we chose no longer have our sizes. 

After we paid for everything, we thanked everyone and went out. It was already getting dark. Then I realized that I had some Glow Kits with me, so I went back to give them some. Those two at 7Luxe were the first recipients of my Glow Kits. 😊

We headed back home to Manila and got home around 7:30 pm. It was a very productive and fun trip. I look forward to going back to that stopover center to do some more shopping.

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...
