What to give a man, who has everything?

With Valentines Day fast approaching (yes it is just around the corner), I have been rocking (literally) the internet for the perfect gift to my ex-boyfriend (now my husband). 

What do I get someone who has it all? Yes more internet rocking!!! 
 
Good thing the internet has answers to everything.  Type: "What to get a good looking and super bait husband for Valentines?"   

The top of the list answer is "know your recipient's wants and interests".  Now that is easy. My husband loves food, sports, playing with our boys and sprucing himself cool.

1. Eating out is easy, but it can be extra special by dressing up and looking pretty for the occasion. There are bargain dining deals on-line.  I normally purchase via Cash Cash Pinoy, Deal Grocer or Metrodeal. They offer 50-60% off regular rates.

2. Special board games would be nice too.  Check out this on-line game store "Game Library" selling novelty board games. My boys will surely spend hours playing these games.

Sample Boardgames from Game Library

3. Basket ball tickets via Ticket Net.  My husband loves basketball and would love to have me watch his favorite game.  I would be of course be perfect if you can get him tickets to cheer his favorite basket ball team.

 4. For cool clothing finds, I always go to either Zalora or Lazada.  These are personally tried and tested on-line shopping sites. Zalora has numerous selections of fine shirts/polo brands, my husband will definitely love.  Check out these wonderful finds:  Crimson shirt to match with your favorite bottoms.

I am just so happy with on-line shopping ~ real easy and hassle free.  However, no matter how fun shopping on-line may be, remember to stay safe on-line.

BDJ - Bioderma: Laboratoire Dermatologique (June 2015)

I have been saying time and time again, how I hate sampler sized products in beauty boxes.  Why bother with products are too small to test, to say if they work or not.

June's BDJ is light weight ~  that I was no longer surprised to see how small the contents were. 

I understand that Bioderma is an expensive product, but packing  samplers for subscribers is so disappointing.

Will not say anything more, just check out these pictures to see for yourself.

The box' lone saving grace is this The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain (P795).  I was glad it was there. I took it, placed in my make-up kit and tossed the rest.

Shopping at Manila's First LEGO Store (My KIDDOS Heaven)

Where do you take two (2) lego fanatic boys, who keeps on saying "they have nothing to do"

~ GO to a LEGO STORE silly! 

I have read about the recently opened, first LEGO certified Store in the country, and can just imagined the thrill it would give my LEGO fan boys to have an unplanned (unannounced) trip to a Lego Store ~ Oh PRICELESS!

The first Lego Certified Store is located at Park Triangle, 11th Avenue cor Rizal Drive, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Park Triangle is a fairly new commercial complex building and is the same complex to house Kidzania Manila.

Look who welcomed us!

My son was so happy to see a life size Emmet, guarding the Lego Certified Store front. 

My kiddo loves Emmet, so I had to explain for a number of times that this one is not for sale :D

Other Lego Characters with Emmet are from Lego Chima ~ Laval and Cragger. 

So Cool and selfie worthy :P

This Lego Certified Store is quite small and carries limited Lego merchandise arranged by toys age appropriateness. 

Like all other Lego stores around the world, however, Lego Store Manila sells bricks by 100 grams in their Pick A Brick (PAB) area. 

And the Build A Mini (BAM), where kids and kids at heart can customize their own mini figures (headwear, head, torso, legs, including tools and accessories).

Boy and big boys will have fun, checking out these awesome toys and displays.

Happy threesome~ we will be back!

BDJ - Kiss Dry Goodbye (May 2015)

 

I love this month's BDJ Box, and what is not to love? 

 

Like the previous months' beauty boxes, BDJ May box is full and heavy packed with products to keep me beautiful.

 

 

 

The box contains body nourishing products, such as: 

 

 

 

1. Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream with SPF19/PA+++ (that was a mouthful), 50ml costs ~ P265

 

 

2. Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Brightening Scrub, 50ml costs ~ P84

 

 

 

Garnier promises fairer skin with consistent use.  My mom loves whitening products, so she got these loots to go :P. 

 

 

 

3. Colgate Optic White Plus Shine, 100g costs ~ P115 (the box contains 2 packs)

 

We use Colgate at home, I have seen this product line during grocery shopping and have been wanting to try it.  I am happy I got them as part of my box.

 

The Colgate Optic White, whitens teeth by exfoliating teeth stains.

 

4. Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel, 45g costs ~ P280

 

This is a multi-purpose gel, that helps protect your skin from dryness and irritation. It promises effective skin repair caused by sun damage such as sunburns.  I can't wait to try this out.

 

 

5. Nivea 3in1 Exfoliating Wipes, 20sheets costs ~ P140.

 

It is an on the go facial exfoliating wipes.  I have been using this product for sometime now and I can attest, how well it works in cleaning my face.  My mom, had her eyes set on this loot though and It was hard to say no.

 

 

5. Assorted Dermal Mask (3 sets) costs ~ P70 each.

 

Another product that is part my beauty regiment are dermal masks.  The Dermal Mask contains nutritional active ingredients to nourish skin and give it the perfect glow you want.

 

6. Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion, 85g costs ~ P675

 

 

I got two (2) mini tubes of Ultra Hydrating Lotion ~ for use head to toe use.  This product is very promising, but sad to say the mini tubes, will obviously not go far.

 

 

7. FS Powder Blush, 6.2g costs ~ P350.

 

I have tested Fanny Serrano (FS) cosmetics before and they are comparable to imported brands. It contains Vitamin E for added hydration.

 

 

The box also contains the following sampler sachet:

 

Cure Natural Aqua Gel, 250ml costs ~ P1500.  This gel gently exfoliates and clean skins' dead cells.

 

 

Pure Savon Rose Blend Scent & Classic Floral White/Lily Scent, 300ml costs ~P545. This body wash promises smoother skin. 

 

 

Himawari Dear Beaute' Oil in Shampoo and Conditioner, 500ml costs ~ P695. This shampoo and conditioner brand contains oil to bring back moisture into your hair.

 

 

This month's box estimated cost is P1400+ is so worth my P580 subscription.  Boxes starting August 2015, are priced higher at P1480, but promises double the price paid for.

Online Shopping Anyone?

Don't you just love online shopping? And what is not to like, e-shopping is so much convenient and easier than traditional shopping.

Just imagine, sitting in the comfort of your chair, sipping freshly brewed coffee, as you browse through various online stores, checking out a multitude of shoe brands, styles, colors of your liking and then delivered right to your door step.

However, although online shopping is fun and easy, you should remember to exercise caution online.

1. Deal only with reputable merchants/online stores.
2. Research about the seller, especially if you are buying high ticket items.
3. Make sure that the site is secured before making any payments.
4. Keep a copy of your transaction receipts, for reference just in case.
5. Check all the details in your purchase before hitting that buy button.  Double check return policy and the terms and conditions of the sale.

Sharing here some of my most trusted online merchants ~ personally tried and tested.


I am a sucker for group buying sites. Where else can you get up to 70% discounts on premium items?  My two favorite group buy sites are:

• CashCashPinoy - I have been a client since 2012 and I have bought a great deal of items from CashCashPinoy, from travel bags, backpack, restaurant vouchers, etc.   In my 2 years buying from them, I have never experienced delayed shipment or problems with my item/s.

• DealGrocer - This site features premium items and I have used it a great deal, whenever I am in a hunt for high-end hotel accommodations.

For fashionable finds, however, I frequent:

• Zalora - I love that they have an extensive selection of children's apparel and shoes, perfect for the kiddos. Check out these trendy sneakers. 

Marie Antoinette and Finch Soles

 

Hubby meanwhile would definitely go berserk-excited seeing these so many watches (lol)!
