Getting Ready for Halloween

I can't believe how the months go by so fast. Tomorrow it will be September and it is already Halloween next month. I felt like it was just yesterday that my toddler and I were enjoying the Halloween festivities.

Halloween is on of the holidays that I look forward to because I like dressing up my little girl. Last year, we attended two Halloween events so she dressed up differently on separate occasions. This year, we are excited to shop for new outfits for her.

Anyway, my friends were planning to hold another Halloween party where all attendees are required to wear a costume. Oh, I know this will be exciting because I have never attended a Halloween costume party. I promised that this year, I will be joining them and I will absolutely have fun. I am starting to look for different costumes that will be perfect for my personality. I have seen different Sexy Halloween Costumes in a catalog and I find them very nice and price-wise, they are in median range.

This year, I have to shop for my little girls and my own Halloween outfit. It will be a lot of fun, I am sure!

Because I am really satisfied with its quality, I plan to order more!

Lawsuits in the US

Lawsuits area a pain. It requires a lot of your resources. As costly as it is, I am amazed at how many lawsuits are there in the USA alone.

Hello Sweaters!

Now that summer is almost over, it is time to bring out the sweaters that you have kept for a few months in your closet. Fall is a great time to show off those lace camisole. You can use them when you are layering clothes. But if during the summer you have gained weight from all the barbecue parties, beach outings or even from your recent travel abroad, head out to the malls and your favorite stores to buy a new set of clothing fit for the next season. Be on the lookout for sales on womens sweaters so that you can save up some for a new and fashionable sweaters.

When buying for new clothing for a particular season, it is best to purchase ahead because most of the stores sell it for a lower price. This is so because the demand for such clothing is low. For example, sweaters are sold at discounted prices when sold during summer, because nobody would be wearing sweaters on hot summer days, right. While swimsuits are priced lower during the cold months. Make sure that the materials used for the clothing are of good quality. Check for loose threads, broken zippers, lacking buttons and other deficiencies so that even if you have bought that clothing at a discounted price, you can still say that it is worth it.


I am participating in a blogger campaign with Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

GAP Jeans

When we went shopping last weekend, this is one of the things I bought. This was of course on sale. I bought this for the reason that I want to send it home to my brother. I plan to send another balikbayan box before the year ends and perhaps in time for Christmas.

Anyway, this item was on sale for just $6.99 and I used my coupon for 30%off . I actually bought two pairs of pants. This is one of the cheapest pants that I have bought in Gap.


Obagi Skin Care Products

All women as they age, develop age spots and other skin problems. Stress, from work or at home, pollution and other harmful elements can cause pimples, acne, wrinkles, fine lines and other facial problems. With these troubles visible, often women find ways to eliminate them. Thankfully, science always comes to the rescue. Skin care products have been developed to help solve these problems. When at the cosmetics section of the department stores, you would probably find hundreds of products for women. One of these is Obagi Clear, which helps correct the signs of skin aging. Obagi has created three skin care systems to repair and protect the skin. There’s the Obagi Nu-Derm system which accelerates skin cell turnover so it looks younger. The Obagi-C Rx system helps the skin look more radiant and even toned by correcting mild to moderate sun damage. Lastly, the Obagi Professional-C Serums for maximum daily antioxidant protection. These systems have been scientifically designed to work together revealing stunning results.

Now this is one product that should be tried. It offers promising results and according to reviews, users must stick to the routine faithfully for better outcome and a personal consultation is required for first time users.

Money for Shopping

My friends and I went shopping last Saturday. We were on the car on the way to the outlet mall when we noticed a newly opened business near the mall. The newly opened business is a payday advance. What a coincidence! We were joking that if we ever run out of cash for our shopping trip we just stop by at the newly opened business and for sure we can continue shopping again. I think that the location of the newly opened business is very convenient for "undisciplined" shoppers. Of course, I don't think I will visit the payday advance just to get money for shopping. I may visit them if there is an emergency. Shopping is not an emergency for me.

Shirts from Guess

Here's another steal from Guess. I like the black one better but the white one is not bad at all considering that I just paid over $5 each for this t-shirts.

I can't resist sale items and I will never pay full price for this kind of shirts. I have collected quite a number of shirts and jeans already. Since we plan to have a Philippine vacation, hubby needs new shirts and some the shirts will be a good "pasalubong" for my brothers and brothers-in-law.

Emergency Cash

In this hard economic times, many people are not ready for emergencies. What I mean is, there are many people who doesn't have the right amount of money set aside for emergency purposes. When there is an emergency, there are places that you can turn to. You might want to check out car title loans tampa because they can give you a loan. Taking a loan can be of help in case of emergency. But just a piece of advice, don't ever take a loan if it is not necessary. It is not a good practice to be buried in debt.

Package from USA

Sending a package of goodies to our families in the Philippines is very common among Filipinos abroad. Wherever you may be in the world, you always think of sending things to your family back home. It is somewhat a Filipino tradition.

The joy of opening a package from your family abroad is priceless. It is always exciting to dig in to whatever it is in the box. Commonly, contents of the package will range from kitchen essentials to toiletries to food items (of course, chocolates is a must!) to made in USA clothing. I know that my family back home is always excited to receive a package from us because it means they can get some goodies from the USA that they can't buy in the Philippines. Some of the items may be available in the Philippines but the price is ridiculously high because it is a US product.

Speaking of package, I am slowly buying and accumulating some items that I can send to my family for Christmas. My brother requested me to buy him some jeans and my nieces want barbie dolls. I have to get the box ready by October so that it will be picked up and shipped in time for Christmas. Shipping takes almost 2 months.

Guess Wallet

My wallet obsession continues....

I am using this wallet right now. I gave my Nine West wallet a rest and decided to use this one instead. I love wallets!

My Summer Fashion Style

Summer is hot and humid in Alabama. On some days, it can get as hot as 3 digits. It is awful actually but thanks to the aircondition it becomes bearable. This summer has been the hottest one since I migrated her 5 years ago. Truth of that, my electricity bill has increased over 50% from the last month.

Summer days are longer here so at least we can still do things outside. We can go to the park around 5pm or 6pm and enjoy few hours of "day time" in the park. I am not very fond of summer as I don't like the hot weather.

Part of my summer fashion and summer style is wearing shorts paired with sleeveless top or knit tops. With high humidity, I always feel so sticky when I go out, so I make sure that I dress as little as possible. I often prefer to wear flip flops over sneakers. I learned to use sun brim hats and of course, I always make sure that I use a lot of sunscreen lotion. I never fail to teach my child not to forget to put sunscreen lotion when we go out in order to protect our skin from the harmful UV rays.

How Much Will You Spend for a Jewelry?

Jewelries are part of a woman's fashion. Many women can't go out of their house without wearing a jewelry. Some women wears jewelries because it is a form of expressing themselves, for them it is a statement. It expresses their style or even their financial wealth. Yes, expensive jewelries are one of the great visual indicator of a person's wealth.

Many woman will spend a lot of money to buy those expensive jewelries. They will spend considerable amount of money just to show off how many carats of diamonds she owns. But, in today's world, one can hardly say if the jewelry is genuine or not. There are far too many imitation jewelry pieces that are available in the market today.

As for myself, I love wearing jewelries with sentimental value. I wear my rings because of sentimental value. I am not the type who will spend a fortune just to own a jewelry. I would rather own a not so precious jewelry which is a family heirloom than the most expensive diamond jewelry. In fact, I am like a typical people from Ireland, I love celtic jewelry like they do because of its meaning and its history. I wouldn't mind owning a claddagh ring myself. I think that their designs are really impressive.

Beauty and Beyond

To be beautiful, with a healthy, young and glowing skin is every woman’s desire. Women everywhere are surrounded and bombarded by the many advertisements on TV, radio, magazines and newspapers enticing them to buy beauty, skin, hair products and many other stuff that will enhance their physical appearance. In the malls, various beauty and skin care products are being offered and tried for free. Sample beauty products are also occasionally given out for testing. These products vary from astringents, to beauty bars, night creams and samples of perfumes and colognes.

Personally, I enjoy getting free stuff and I also have beauty rituals that I do to keep my skin clear and blemish free. But sometimes when I ran out of the products that I use, I try to make homemade skin care products. Sometimes my little daughter would ask me to teach her how to exfoliate because she always sees me doing my skin regimen rituals. Later when she’s old enough to know how, I will teach her.

The beauty products may enhance my physical appearance but it is the inner beauty that everybody wants to truly stand out. The beauty that emanates from within, the beauty that will never fade out nor will get wrinkled.

Afraid of Dentists

A friend of mine is terribly experiencing tooth ache. What’s unusual is that he is afraid of going to the dentist. This is one of his phobias, but he also needs to have the tooth extracted or else he would continue to suffer from the pain. His work has been somehow affected and he cannot concentrate on doing his tasks and activities. He has to go to the dentist and have his appointment. If he visits a San Antonio Texas Dentist, his fear of dentists would surely set off and somehow be eliminated because he would be assured and satisfied by the way the dentist would deal and treat patients. Their expertise in managing dental problems is superb and has proven to be very effective. The San Antonio Cosmetic Dentistry is known for its better services in enhancing dental anomalies and other dental-related problems that affects a person’s physical appearance.

For sure if my friend gets treated by these professionals, he will love the results and would surely go back for another treatment in the future and even recommend it to others. I’ve already told my friend to not waste time so that the problem will be fixed immediately. I just hope he will heed my advice.

I am lucky that Guess factory outlet is very close to me. It is just like 2 miles from where I live. I have access to the store and it is very convenient.

The last time I went there, I spotted this jeans and it is the only one with the lowest price.

I just paid $11 for this one. Not bad.....

Safe Help

There are many incidents that can happen in the road. Road trips are not predictable. Your car may give up on you while traveling. Sometimes, it will be costly to have your car towed especially if it is not covered from your insurance policy. It is a wise idea to be a member of roadside assistance club as this will ensure that you will have a safe help in the road. Some of the perks of being a member of this club is you can receive roadside assistance and they will also provide you with other means of transportation to make sure that you will have uninterrupted road trip.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

I have mentioned that my parents will be celebrating their 50th golden wedding anniversary early next year that is why we scheduled our vacation around that time. We plan to be there to celebrate the occasion with the whole family. As of the moment, I am looking for Wedding Anniversary Invitations because we wanted to the event to be somewhat formal. We wanted them to have their renewal of vows. We want to give them a wedding celebration that they never had when they got married.

We are all excited about it. I know there will be lots to prepare for. The renewal of vow ceremony, invitations, reception, giveaways and more.

Coconut Mango Lotion

Do you ever like the smell of mango? This lotion is the one for you. Coconut Mango lotion from Bath and Body works. It has a luscious burst of creamy coconut and exotic mango.

This lotion is fortified with powerful ingredients like super conditioning Shea Butter, fast absorbing Jojoba Oil and protective Vitamin E, hydrates skin with moisture that lasts all day. Our non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and completely to leave skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished, making it the perfect daily moisturizer.

Big and Beautiful

After I gave birth to my daughter, I noticed that I was not able to get rid of the pounds that I gained throughout the pregnancy. Some women get depressed over the weight that they have put on. I wasn't one of them. I know for some reason that I can't get back the size 0 that I used to be. I dealt with it with a positive attitude. I told myself that though I gained weight, I still can be fashionable. Although I may not be able to wear the sexy clothes that I used to wear, I still can wear plus size fashion. There are plenty of fashionable clothes specifically designed for plus size women. I have seen some of the cutest plus size dresses which are really good for summer fashion. I have actually bought some and they are as comfy as it can be.

I used to have the body that is really slender and slim but everything had changed when I got pregnant. I used to wish to have the body that I used to have but then some things are not meant to last forever and that includes my slim body. I resigned to the fact that I can never be as slim as I used to be. One thing that I learned though, although I have gained weight I can still be big and beautiful.

Trendy Clothing

I love to wear clothes that are fashionable and comfortable. Having gained a lot of weight for the past couple of years, it didn't stop me from wearing sexy and comfy clothes. I am glad that there are trendy plus size clothing available everywhere because this only means that even if I have put on some weight, I can still be sexy and trendy.

Some people may comment how you look when you gained weight but as long as you are confident with what you wear and how you look, you will forever be sexy. Having put on some weight doesn't mean you have to wear lousy clothes. There are plus size clubwear that you can wear to help you look good. There are different styles of clothes that will help emphasize your assets and at the same time help hide those bulges. Believe me, it is just a matter of self-confidence. You can still be beautiful and sexy if you exude the self-confidence that you need.

If you are looking for trendy plus size clothing and other lingerie and accessories, you can check out onestopplus.com. They are the first online fashion mall for plus size women and they have the best selection.

Red Camel Jeans


We went to Belks because my friend returned something. While she was at the customer service, I kept myself busy looking for sale and clearance items. I found this Red Camel Jeans which was priced 50% off the regular price. On top of the discounted price, there was also additional 50% from the ticketed price. Basically, I got this jeans for less than $10.
