Save Money on Your Next Shopping Trip

Shopping trips can either be a success or a disaster, that is, you get to spend less than what you actually intended. Whether you are saving up money or not, taking measures to ensure that you spend less on each shopping trip will always be beneficial to you.  For one, you get to save some money for other necessaries. And, you’ll have enough to shed out in case of emergencies, especially during this typhoon season. Anyway, I have come up with a list of things you have to keep in mind before and during your shopping trip:

1. Make a list

It is important that you know what you need. Do you need milk and eggs or a new pair of stockings? Be specific. By this, you get to lessen your spending and you won’t be able to purchase things which are not so necessary (or your wants) that would only clutter up your homes.

2. Use coupons

Lots of people are missing out on the discounts they could get by failing to use coupons. There are tons of coupons for food, groceries, and other necessities that are hiding in the newspapers or are available online. There are even discount vouchers for clothes, shoes and accessories and restaurant coupons such as Wendy’s coupon to help you save up on your dining trips. I am not saying that you go crazy couponing. But if you are given an opportunity to use one or two, go grab it! 

3. Fill yourself up before heading out

This will definitely save you lots of money! When you go grocery shopping and you see all the delectable food in the aisles, you have this tendency to grab a snack afterwards. Be sure to eat ahead so you avoid this kind of unnecessary expense. 

4. Avoid temptations 

If you know that beauty products entice you, please avoid that section already. Or if you have to literally close your eyes, please do so cause you’ll still end up buying one (or lots) of unnecessary products even if they’re not on your list, just because of that temptation that you deliberately failed to avoid.

Although I still believe that we have to reward ourselves every now and then, avoidable and unnecessary expenses should not be incurred every time we have to go on a shopping trip. In times like this, it is essential that we spend only on things that we actually and really need. I hope this list would help you out save and spend less. Happy shopping! :)

Feel Fresh All Day with pH Care Feminine Wipes

It's hard to maintain a fresh feeling all day especially when you're out. I seriously don't know how other people do it. A few minutes after stepping out of the house, I immediately feel haggard and icky. And I have to endure that feeling the entire day since my classes are usually at night! Good thing I could freshen up my face and body with baby powder and mild cologne or a splash of water on my face. :)

However, there are some areas of our body that needs freshening up more often and I am talking about our intimate area. While there are tissues available in some washrooms, they are not enough to keep us feeling fresh down there all day. And besides, it is not convenient to wash our intimate area every time we pee. 

Good thing there are feminine wipes that can help us effortlessly freshen up our intimate area anytime and anywhere! These wipes are easy to use and do not leave fibers unlike regular tissues. ph Care Feminine Wipes are hypoallergenic, clinically tested, and alcohol free. They are also pH balanced to match the pH level of our intimate area. Hence, these wipes are safe for use everyday and whenever you need it. 

The Cool Wind variant of pH Care Feminine Wipes has ActiveCool for that extra cool freshness with every use. If you have tried the Cool Wind variant of pH Care Feminine Wash, this one has a similar refreshing and cool effect! They conveniently come in a pack of 10s which is just the right amount to maintain its moisture as they tend to dry up after some time. Plus, this one fits my makeup bag just right!

In my opinion, pH Care Feminine Wipes are very convenient to use especially that most of the washrooms in my school and even at malls do not have tissues available. And there is definitely a fresher feeling down there right after using as compared to when using just tissue alone. My intimate area feels cleaner especially on the days when I have to stay outside the whole day. The cloth has enough moisture and is very soft. It has also the right size to cover the entire area. And for only P40 per pack, this is definitely a cheap way to maintain a clean and fresh intimate area!

pH Care Feminine Wipes are manufactured by Unilab (who also brought to us Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub) and available at supermarkets, drugstores and beauty outlets nationwide. :)

Shoe Haul!

Have I told you guys that I only started wearing flats regularly when I was already in law school? I used to wear flip flops all the time! Even to school. :|:) It's a good thing that my generous blog partners sent me these flats and booties so I could add more to my small shoe collection. Thank you so much!

Would you believe that these shoes were on sale for only $29 at Romwe when I got them? This pair is perfect for the rainy weather. Although I don't think this would be good enough for the floods in Manila. :p
