Shopping Missy

I am not much into clothes fashion but I love bags and accessories. I was exposed to signature bags back in 2007 when we had our month long trip overseas. A friend of mine who was travelling with me had checked on the price of one particular Louis Vuitton bag in advance in all the countries we were scheduled to go to, to the point of making overseas calls to the stores just to see where to get it from the cheapest. Anyways, I didn't get my bag back then, but the following year, I received my very first LV (a gift) - a Montorgueil. It was purchased in Singapore for about P36,000 (with the exchange rate back then less tax). That started my mini collection. Now, I am often being asked by people around me regarding prices. Let me tell you, I don't keep a price database.. LOL! But here are the current prices that I have (last update May 2014). Please note that for tourists, you may get tax refund when you buy in Europe (about 10%) or Singapore (around 5%). Also, until further no

I have naturally curly hair. I used to rebond my hair yearly for 8 years but I stopped mid of last year as I noticed my hair getting thinner. I am not fond of going to salons. Previously, the only time I would get hair treatment (hot oil) was when I do my rebond (or maybe an additional visit during Christmas time). But I am into home products. Mostly after shower serums. I am a fan of Kerastase but I started trying out other products. So far, I am listing below my favorites. Simply because even when I didn't have salon treatments for the past 18 months, I didn't get split ends. I have confirmed that when I went to the salon to get a little trim last week with the hair consultant. Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil (Extra Penetrating) by Organix Available in Watsons and Lazada.com.ph - P 450 Good : Makes my hair easy to comb even when wet. 1 bottle lasted for 8 months (used 4-5x a week). Price. Not so good: Though my hair wasn't dry or damaged, it lacked luster/life. R

Just when I thought of trying BB cream (Blemish Balm) 3 months ago, I learned that CC Cream (Color Correction) is now the "in" thing. I thought this is just a marketing strategy because BB Cream had been so successful that even the western companies formulated their own version of this Asian beauty breakthrough. I went ahead with my plan and bought one of the well known BB Creams - SKIN79 Super+ Hot Pink. Then just last month, I had an opportunity to buy a CC cream from the maker of my favorite sunblock powder - O HUI.  Now I have both creams and I am happy. Please note that this blog is not intended for in depth reviews on products. Though you'll find a little information on what I like and/or dislike about my purchase, I am concentrating more on providing the means of getting these items plus their prices.

Early this year, I noticed that my skin was already showing signs of ageing - dryer skin and more visible freckles. I shouldn't really be surprised as I am in my 30's now but who would want to admit that, right? So I made a brave decision, I would get some professional help. I have a medium fair complexion with combination to dry skin type. I had never done facials in the past and I was scared I will get breakouts so I decided to go to a really well known beauty clinic in the Philippines - Belo Medical. I visited their website - www.belomed.com - to know a little more about the available services  and called their hotline no 02 819- BEL0 (2356) for an appointment. I chose The Fort branch simply because it's convenient for me. I had to have a doctor consultation the first time to determine the type of treatment that's suitable for me. So here's what I had: (Facial) Botanical Cleaning + Powerpeal - P 4,480 Body Scrub with Bleach - P 2,800 These treatments

Five years ago, I introduced my sister to the world of Blogging. Up until now, she has different blog sites where she talks about her profession, published books and everyday life. I would help her with the technical side of her sites but I never had the time to have a site of my own. Probably because I don't think I am good in writing at the same time, I can't think of any specific topic that I can write about that no one else had not thought of doing. Let's face it, there are millions of people online all over the world posting on Facebook, twitter, Instagram and their own blog sites; giving comments in YouTube, Tripadvisor, beauty sites, news pages and so much more. So what made me decide to start my own now? As my site name implies, I am in love with shopping. And over the years, I have developed to what I can say as a "wise" shopper (at least I try). Let me explain: I am a Filipino who currently lives in the Philippines. I was blessed with opportunities t
