Liz's November - December Haul Post

Hello ladies,

It's been a while since I actually went out to shop for anything. Last year my life revolved around this routine: Hospital, Home, Hospital, Hospital, Home... and whenever I was at home, I preferred sleeping more than going out. When I finally graduated from hospital duties, it was board exams... so imagine my joy when I finally got to earn some money and spend it!

It's not that much of a splurge since I basically am spending my own hard earned money (cause it was mostly spent on food) instead of getting it from my parents. It felt quite liberating to do that. I know most of you have gone through it, but well, I want to immortalize this moment.

And so without further ado, here are my non-food/beverage purchases:

It's been near two years since I last went out wearing a good pair of wedge or heels and it was about time to buy new ones. Since I am walking most of the time to work, and I wouldn't want to wear flats 7 days a week, I decided to buy wedges. No stilettos for now as my stilettos are still good to go.

Super loved this blue wedge from UNLIMITED. They hardly feel like heels and are super comfortable to wear and walk around. I got them for a good sale price at SM Department Store.

Of course, I just had to buy something from Payless, especially when they have them on sale. I had to buy two because aside from the shoe's current discount, you get an additional 10% of if you buy two discounted shoes. So there... shoe splurge.

A workplace that's near Robinsons Ermita has its advantages, like having a Daiso shop near where you can shop all your necessities with the best deal.

But it also has its downs (kind of), like splurging on office supplies even though you know it's not really needed that much. :P

Still, perks outweigh the downsides. As you can see, whenever I run out of my necessary, HG, Laneige BB Cushion, there's always one near.

Plus the store assistant was very generous with the samples. I'm starting to feel like I'll be a regular in that stall. :)

Anyways, that's all for now. The next posts from me will hopefully be my long promised reviews from different products I have been using for the past months.

Cheers,

LIZ

UNIQLO is now at SM San Lazaro

Hey everyone!

Japan's number one retail clothing apparel brand is finally at SM City San Lazaro last December 5! This is their 20th branch in the country and I'm so happy that it's so near my place! I live near UST and SM San Lazaro is only around 10 minutes away so YAYYY! 

I got to visit it a few hours ago for the first time and I was surprised at how big the store was... well, compared to most stores in that mall. The store is located at the upper ground floor near the event center

Inside the store, what I first saw were these big red sign boards that show great deals on their apparels and other merchandise.

And of course I noticed those colorful Christmas decorations! 

There are so many good deals. I believe there's something for everyone! Just check out these awesome deals for those who love Disney characters.

Other famous cartoon characters are also available in the limited discount offers. 

I'm definitely loving the scarves and I think my friends would love to have some of those beanies! Ooooh! I'm definitely going back to do more Christmas shoppings!

 And of course, the kids would also enjoy browsing the kids' section and I'm sure that the parents won't mind buying these because of the good deals Uniqlo offers.

And of course I scouted some really pretty stuff I'd like for myself!

I really like those mini skirts... and they're on sale too! I especially love that floral one at the back.

And cardigans! Woooot! Perfect for the cool weather we are having right now.

You can get them for Php 990.00 now. Such a steal compared to its regular price of Php 1,490.00. 

And I'd also want to stock up on plain tees! Everyone needs them!

I also saw some great finds for men.

 These slim fit jeans is a winner for me! I bet my bro would like to get some of these.

You can get them at Php 200 off! Awesome right?

And are you running out of Holiday gift ideas? Then Uniqlo has you covered!

They have isles with these suggestions ready for you. 

I enjoyed browsing the store and you just gotta love Uniqlo because it offers a big variety of stuff from shirts, jeans, and jackets, to scarves, underwears, and socks in different styles! And they all look so easy to wear and I bet you'll find one that would suit your taste whatever your personality is. I honestly didn't expect that I would find one because I like girly dresses but I did find that awesome floral skirt! 

So why not drop by SM San Lazaro and take advantage of the sale while it's there? It's a great place to update your wardrobe and also find great gifts for your loved ones! ;)

Dawn gets her hair permed at Azta Salon Part 1

Hey, Lovely Ladies!

 I've been planning to get my hair permed again since the time I chopped off my curls from my previous perm. My sis said I have more personality with permed hair kasi. 

I was set to get my hair permed at Affascinante Salon. I really like how Ms. Weng handles her clients and the quality of her service. The curls of my hair were still visible after a year. 

But my sis, Tracy, convinced me to try out Azta Salon in SM San Lazaro. She already tried their service and wanted me to try it out as well (plus, she also had an offer of having a free hair treatment if she convinced me to get my hair done there). So I went along with it since I'm such a sweet sister. Haha! :)

So yesterday, my sister and I went to Azta Salon is SM San Lazaro to get my hair permed. I met Rich Abella, their senior stylist. She was really nice, very accommodating and was there to take care of us the whole time we were there.

Here's some pictures of how our day went at Azta Salon:

 Me waiting and saying goodbye to my natural wavy hair.

 Shot of me before they put the chemicals on my hair. BTW, their shampoo smells so good! TeeHee :P

 My sis getting nerdy as she waits for her turn. Haha! :))

 My hair drenched in chemicals. 

 Tracy decided to retouch the roots of her hair.

 Look at all those tubes rolled up on my head! 

 These are very heavy. LOL. 

 Tubes are now connected to the machine. I remember the Iron Man movie whenever I see this picture. :P

 Hair getting heated up!

Tracy getting her hair treatment. 

And then here's what we look like after I get my perm and Tracy gets her hair retouched and treated:

My hair here is still a bit wet in this picture. Rich told me that the waves will still get bigger. Right now I'm instructed not to wash my hair so it's still kinda greasy and all. Haha! 

I'll just update you in a few days. :)

Cheers,
