Treasure Jar

My kids are no longer babies and for that I heave a sigh of relief as I am free of several responsibilities so Yey! for that. If there are some things though that make me miss those times when they were still babies, that would be about getting cute outfits (lol), trying more organic food offerings, and doing cloth diapering. But I digress because I will stay focus on the cute outfits, specifically the shoes.

When TipTap Soft Soles Shoes launched its 2012 Collection, I couldn’t help but gush, gush and gush some more! The shoes are awesome and how I really wish that my kids were able to have these when they were much, much younger.

Here are some of the TipTap Soft Soles Shoes 2012 Collection I took photos of during the 2012 Collection Launch:

I was supposed to write a review about Swish Breath Spray but I totally forgot about it. How did I remember? The small bottle in my bag has maxed out the sprays it can give, lol!

Here is a photo I took when I got the Swish Breath Spray products (along with Swish Mouthwash) for review:

Let me write down why I like this product, Swish Breath Spray:

• alcohol-free
• kills germs and bacteria-causing bad breath
• convenient to bring anywhere because it is small
• can last till 100 sprays
• retails at around Php105 – 110 ( That’s about one peso for every spray)

Here is my Swish Breath Spray along with some Kikay essentials in my bag:

Swish Breath Spray, like the Swish Mouthwash have Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh flavor variants.

I used to have these mint candies in my bag that I pop in my mouth when I feel the need to freshen my breath but I think these contributed to my having toothaches before because these are not exactly sugar-free.

Swish Breath Spray and Swish Mouthwash are available in supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores nationwide.

SALE ALERT!!!

The Great Brazilian Madness Sale is happening at Trinoma from September 24 – September 26, 2012.

Our experience:

iMom and I went there early but we were already late because the lines to the cashier were long and winding and went on and on and on.

So we were already lining up for an hour and a half or maybe more, when we spotted a short line. I asked what that was for and the staff said the line is for the line is for the disabled, pregnant and senior citizens. I was wearing my ankle support so we got in the line. Yipee!
 
My loot included two pairs of Grendha sandals for my youngest daughter (Php500.00), 2 pairs of Grendha jelly slippers for me (Php700) and a pair of Rider slippers for the eldest daughter (Php600.00).

A few tips:

• Go early
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothes
• Don’t bring children
• Don’t carry a heavy bag
• Have someone with you who can alternately fall in line while you get your loot and vice versa.

 
Have fun!

Roses and candles as a table setting is something that sounds and looks just right.

This crappy photo was taken during a family friend’s youngest son’s baptismal gathering. I love how the ambience looked classic and lovely. The details are just wonderful!

This made me look for online photos of scented candles (never mind if I have allergies, lol) and among the sites I saw, diptyque piqued my interest.

Why?

In the past I wanted to have a scented candles business 🙂 I can still have it now, if I spend time on it, right?
