I just love DIY projects. In the last two years I made a lot of notepads that I gave away.
Personalized gift tags? Check.
Family photo Christmas tree ornaments? Check!
Now I want to buy beads in bulk so I can make bracelets like these to give away. My eldest daughter used to make bracelets too and she has some leftover materials I have to find first before getting the supplies I might need.
Gifting need not be expensive as long as one is creative. This may mean some manual labor but that would be more fun than jostling your way to the cashier during sale events, right?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I can feel the cool breeze already.
I am on the look out for sale/marked down prices before Christmas events. I know some of these can be a real competition but let me not get into that ugly part, lol.
Some of the things I may need to get IF I manage to go to one. Or two.
- shoes for school (and for me)
- undergarments for the kids
- gifts for relatives
- outdoor clothes (because we plan to be more active, hah!) and that includes looking at wide selection women’s north face jackets, running/walking outfits and even yoga clothes. (Ok, I think I am over-excited with this one, lol)
- small kitchen appliances
That’s it. I have to print this list I guess so I don’t get things we won’t be using.

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?

We LOVE Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash.
For my teen daughter who uses a certain creamy beauty bar as her facial wash for years, it was difficult to ask her to try this certain Celeteque Dermoscience product. But when she tried it, there was no going back to the beauty bar for her.
Celeteque Dermoscience+ hydration Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash is gentle. The red double vitamin (C and E) beads are gentle and these “melt” upon touching so one can not feel anything rough on the face upon usage.
EXFOLIATING FACIAL WASH
Safely removes dead skin cells that may clog pores. It has DUAL VITAMIN NOURISHING BEADS infused with Vitamin C and E that gently burst to help nourish and protect the skin. Its spherical shaped microbeads exfoliate without scratching the skin.
Read more about it here.
Skin feels IS smooth. The fragrance of Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash is just right, not too fragrant (good for people with allergies like me) and not smelling like “medicine”.
Instructions says to “use every other day” but I use this daily, twice a day and my skin loves it because I don’t feel any dryness or irritation. I still have to try the other Celeteque Dermoscience Products.

Celeteque is a product of Unilab.

We went to the opening of SM Kids’ Fashion Warehouse Sale yesterday, August 30, 2012 at the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall B. Daughter and I came home with jeans, jeans and more jeans for the kids.
Good thing the jeans fit my teenager and the fit is something she approves of. We love Just G and Company B jeans!
