Christmas Gift Idea

My brother-in-law just bought three boxes of cigars. He bought it for a discounted price. While I was talking to my sister on the phone, I overheard my sister asking her husband why he bought so many cigars. He just answered he wants to give the two boxes away as a Christmas gift to their friend. For people who love to smoke cigars, a box of cigar will be great gift idea for this holiday season. I joke to my brother-in-law that since I don't smoke, I will just convert mine to CASH!

Nine West Tote Bag


This is the new addition to my purse collection. Nine West Tote Bag. I bought this for less of course as I don't buy purses in their full price. I spent $24 for this one. Not bad, huh?

For my daily use, I prefer a large tote because I have so much to put inside my bag especially having a daughter. Having a big tote means I don't need to carry extra backpack for essential things that my daughter needs. I can fit them all in my tote!

Multivitamins

My daughter had the best multivitamin since she was home with us. It was recommended by her pediatrician. She has to take multivitamins with iron because when she was in NICU she had blood transfusion. It is important for her to have iron supplement.

As for us, we also take vitamin supplements to help maintain our good health. Getting sick is not very welcome because getting medical services is very expensive. There are few multivitamins in the market that provide necessary dosages for an average person. Look for the best vitamin supplements that are perfect for whatever stage of life you are. Be sure that this supplements have specialized ingredients in order to provide extra benefits.

Shampoo for Hair Loss

Do you need a special formulated hair loss shampoo? Hair loss shampoos are sold to purposely help in regrowing your hair. But finding the right brand of hair loss shampoo can be a daunting task as there are many brands that promises to contain a special formula which actually doesn't work. When buying a hair loss shampoo, it is important that it has the right ingredients and you can use easily and conveniently on your day to day hair washing.

Buy a hair loss shampoo that does not have an awful smell and look for the following ingredients that will:
  • increase blood circulation to the scalp
  • keep hair follicles wide and open
  • have vitamins and minerals
  • have a clinically proven ingredients

Filipinos and Weight Gain

It is normal for a Filipino to comment when you gain weight. Mind you, in the Philippines you will get hurtful comments like "you are fat", "you look so fat", "you look ugly with your weight" or something to that effect. It is a normal comment and the one giving you a comment doesn't think of hurting your feelings but just expressing opinion. Believe me, I got a lot of those kind of comments when I went home for a vacation but it didn't affect me as it is a normal comment.

Some of them would even offer you ideas about weight loss diet pills. Most Filipinos are weight and figure conscious thus when one gains weight it looks horrible for them.

They are very reliable especially during bad weather condition. Anyone can opt to buy either indoor or outdoor antenna. These antennas are forever faithful! The farther you are from the city center, the more powerful antenna you will need. There are also antenna accessories that you can buy in order for you to start using your antenna.

Guess Wallets

We went shopping today and I splurge on wallets. Yes I bought 4 Guess wallets! No, I won't use them all. I will actually give 3 of them away to my sisters. I know I have bought so many wallets already but you see, I have 3 sisters in the Philippines, 3 Sisters in Law and my Mom so basically I need 7 wallets for all of them! Thankfully I bought this wallet for a very affordable price as they were on sale (50% off).

Christmas Decoration

I am excited about Christmas. I think it is the Filipino in me that gets me excited every time the holiday season gets near. I really can't wait to put up our Christmas tree and other Christmas decoration because my daughter loves it too. Actually, whenever we go to Walmart, she will make sure that she will check their two big Christmas trees. I am also planning to put a Christmas garland outside our door. I think I will just buy a pre-lit outdoor Christmas garland. I am not really good at making my own design so I might just as well choose from the pre-made ones.

I can really feel the Christmas air! Some stores are playing Christmas carols already and I am loving it!

New Sheets for our Bed

I had a shopping day today. I was out shopping with my sister in law Terri and her son Nick. We were out shopping for a very long time. Thanks to Mom who took care of Andrea so that I can have a shopping day.

Terri and I share something in common, we both like bargains. Needless to say, we found good deals at different stores. We bought stuffs that are priced very low and which are as low as $1.88! We also share the same passion for Egyptian cotton sheets. We both like these kind of sheets because of its sophisticated look. Egyptian cotton sheets appeal to masculine and feminine sensitivities alike, they are just so gorgeous! We did find a couple of these sheets and I love them so in few days we will have new sheets for our bed.

Gucci Bag

Gucci... one of the brands that most women and all fashionistas are crazy about. I am crazy about it too but I am not crazy enough to spend a fortune for such a brand. First and foremost, I don't have a fortune so I will just be content at looking at the picture.

The picture above is a GUCCI RABBIT FUR LARGE INDY BAG. There are on 4 of them in the whole world. This is very unique and owning one will be something. Can you guess how much is this bag?

Well... close your ears and open your eyes wide, really wide as the price is a whooping... $1,500,000.00! Yes! Guys and Gals this purse is worth ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.... Can you imagine how many cars and houses you can buy for that amount?

Beautiful Skin

Having a beautiful skin is a blessing. I do have a perfect tan which I can proudly show off but I need more beauty regimen in order to maintain a beautiful skin. I know that it is important for me to take some supplements that promotes healthy skin thus I have decided to try taking vitamin c serum for skin.

Obviously, I am not getting any younger so the natural process of aging is showing on my skin. I know that at my age, collagen and elastin production is on the decline. If I won't do something, sooner or later my skin will show some wrinkles and dryness.

I am confident that taking vitamin c which will be good for my skin will help me maintain in having a beautiful and glowing skin.

Suppressant for the Obese

Being obese is a condition that many Americans today are experiencing. There are many reasons why a certain person can be obese. Some has underlying medical conditions some doesn't. For obese people who wants to a change, treating them with phentermine can be a first step. Phentermine is a stimulant that is similar to an amphetamine. It is an appetite suppressant that affects the central nervous system. I personally think that if we can suppress our appetites that means less food intake which in the end will help in losing weight.

Check out and learn more about phentermine. There are many resources online that you can read about this and I am sure that you will find it helpful to be well informed about a certain product before using them.

All in all I bought 4 wallets last night.... ouch! goodbye savings! ha ha ha
