shopping I love charm bracelets! I can never get enough of them even when I was a kid. Although I collect a lot, I try to give away those that I don’t use every two years at least. This is the only solution that I can think of so I can keep hoarding. Seriously, there are so many nice stuff for women online and offline that it’s hard not to become a shopaholic. Luckily for me (and my husband 
), I don’t buy expensive items. Just cheap ones that are too cute to ignore or affordable ones that can last for years. I know it may seem like I’m into luxurious items (who isn’t?) based from my posts especially the last one before this. But I really don’t have the budget for them unless I really do some serious saving up. One thing’s for sure – it’s fun being a girl!

working at home My client had me buy acid cigars online as gift for his business associates. It was a great start to my work day – shopping. Even if it wasn’t for me, I still get a certain high adding items to the cart. Nothing can wake me better than a quick shopping spree regardless if it’s online or offline. Well, scratch that. The best thing that can wake or pick me up would be shopping for my own stuff. But this will do for now. Enough for me to last a whole day’s work.

My husband has been wanting to replace our wedding bands with a simpler design but in platinum. Now I am not that kind of girl who wants things simple but for him, I would agree. He wants something that is less maintenance but will last longer that he can give it to one of our girls when they grow up. As for me, I could keep my old ring and use it as a pendant. Hope we can find a good deal!

shopping Check out my shoes for Christmas. I haven’t bought them yet but my husband gave me the go signal to purchase IF they can find my size.
It’s going to be his gift for me (yes, we choose our own gifts) which made me too thrilled for words. Now that I know that these are within reach, I’m wondering if this is the right choice or should I go for the new ones – Shibuya and Florence?
Help me!

shopping Whenever a friend of mine is pregnant and as soon as we’ve tackled the usual baby/pregnancy/motherhood questions, I always ask if she has prepared a list for her push gift. I’m surprised that most of them have no idea what it is so if you’re one of them, let me enlighten you.
My personal definition of a push gift is something that a husband gives his wife after undergoing labor which is almost always difficult, long and life-threatening. It’s some sort of a thank you token for bringing a baby into this world. My rule for this is it has to be something that you will not buy on your own. It could be as expensive as hell or something that is very hard to acquire.
As for my youngest, the Husband bought me my first Louis Vuitton handbag (first because I believe I will have another one soon!). He gave it to me even before I gave birth which I think was the reason why I had such a hard time during labor. Anyway, having a baby is priceless but having a gift aside from the little one wouldn’t hurt too.

technology Just ticked off barcode scanner from the list of things that I need to buy online for my client. There’s about 20 more items but I couldn’t complain. Shopping gives me a high even if the item that I’m buying is not for me. It could even be as boring as purchasing a dedicated server or something important like a $2500 worth of domain names. Of course, nothing beats buying clothes and shoes for myself but since I am on a tight budget right now, I’d be happy to just shop for my clients instead. After all, I’d get paid to shop for them which means that at the end of the day, I will have extra cash to spend on myself!

shopping Traditional and matronly maternity clothes are a thing of the past. Now, pregnant moms can be as fashionable as they used to be pre-pregnancy! There are even maternity clothes called transition which allows you to wear the outfit during your first trimester, upon giving birth, while breastfeeding and as a regular outfit when you’re finally back to your old size. Here’s one example while pregnant, breastfeeding and without the baby bump.
Imagine how much money you can save! I’ve hoarded items like these when I was pregnant and I’m happy to say that I can still wear some of them and I’m not back to my pre-pregnancy shape.

shopping Someone wants to go to the Moonlit Bazaar so bad. However, my husband is out of town and my nanny is taking off so I have no choice but to stay in our house and just wonder what excellent finds I will be missing.

shopping We recently attended a rock star themed birthday party with my daughters. Some of my friends had a hard time deciding on what to wear but I was lucky to have several pieces that will work so I didn’t have to buy any. I just had my eldest wear her fluffy mini-skirt, tight black leggings, DM-type lace up brown boots and a jeweled purple with cropped sleeves. My youngest on the other hand wore her pink and brown leopard dress. I noticed that the mothers were wearing rock star outfits too. I was happy that none of them were over the top as some fashionable moms tend to do these days or worse, wear something like a fishnet body suit that I saw online. We could all agree that this kind of outfit is more suitable for adult parties for two (wink). Anyway, here are some really cute rock star outfits if ever you find yourself looking for one.
You can either buy these or just make one similar to them.

shopping I was so surprised to see how big my credit card bill was today. As it turned out, we spent a lot of money on flowers baskets during our family reunion last month. We decided to do baskets this year because what else can you give to old relatives who seem to have it all? Definitely not chocolates as they need to watch their diet. Which is why these flower arrangements were the perfect choice. The oldies were so happy to receive them and touched that the “kids” (they still see us that way) remembered them. Anyway, the flowers are lovely and definitely worth their price.
