Our GIBI Shoes Story: From Excitement to Disappointment

GIBI Shoes

Hello there, friends! It's that time of the year again, the back-to-school season. I wanted to make sure my son had a nice pair of school shoes because his old ones were looking quite tired. So, off we went to Robinsons Department Store inside Centrio Mall for a little shopping adventure.

Skin Care Routine Lately

 

Hello everyone! Today, I'm excited to share my skin care routine and the amazing products I've been using. Taking care of your skin is incredibly important, and having a regular skin care routine that you're comfortable with is key to achieving healthy and glowing skin. Let's dive into my routine and discover some additional information about each step!

Chinese Drama: The Kings Avatar


I was randomly browsing on what to watch on Netflix when I stumbled on The King's Avatar. I was not really interested in watching a Chinese TV series but what initially caught my attention to check on the drama was because of Yang Yang... The Love 020 blues. But after reading the tv series description the game buff in me got so interested to watch it.
When I started watching the first episodes my son was not interested to watch with me, coz he thought it's going to be the same with Love 020. (He doesn't like romantic dramas.) However, as the episode progressed on he got hooked and interested.
According to him, "this drama gives so many lessons in life, your passion, and gaming." I agree with him. Even though there are potential romantic interactions but it's interesting to see that until the end no one falls in love. The director did not insert a love interest in the drama. Instead, love interest for the game called Glory and E-sport. The drama shows the rise of the E-sport industry and its challenges. The storyline focus on passion, sportsmanship, skills, teamwork, and friendship.
It was a good ending and has potential for another season.
My son got so inspired after watching the drama and has been asking me to play rank games and wanted us to join MCL Weekly in Mobile Legends.

#OnlineShopping: Dresslily Haul


A package delivered via Air21 the other day and I was very surprise with it. It was the clothes that Ive shopped online, at Dreslily.com, last week. Usually my online shopping orders arrived a month after ordering it but was surprised it arrived 5 days to be exact. All the items Ive selected though are priority dispatch, which you can easily spot because they are marked with "Item dispatched within 3-5 business days."
And when I opened it, I was happy with whats inside. The quality of the clothes are great. I ordered 3 items, jogger pants, palazzo pants, and a white crop top. The jogger pants is for my son because he love joggers. The quality was good, its not thick which is great for a tropical country like ours. Although there loss threads but the stitching is all good.
The next one I shop is the palazzo pants which I think was a love at first sight when I saw it on the website, didn't think twice in adding it to cart. I like the cloth, its cotton blend. Its so soft and flowy.
The last thing I got is this white crop top, which I initially for the bohemian skirt I recently shop online. However, it turns out to be a perfect pair for the palazzo pants. The cloth is knitted cotton and its not itchy. Its soft and not thick. I also like that the crop top is not that short so I can wear it not really worry on exposing too much skin or a.k.a extra belly fats. :D
   Overall experience was excellent... I recommend shopping at Dreslily.com.

Have you shopped at Dreslily.com?


#OnlineShopping: Haul from Tosave.com


Hi everyone! Today i'll be sharing a review from my latest online shopping experience at ToSave.com.

From clothings, jewelry, accessories, shoes, bags, mobile phone accessories, beauty products, home & garden, electronics, toys, and many more.

Shipping are all free if you choose Airmail to deliver your package.

Here's the details of what I've purchase and a review on each of them.
New Womens Floral Chiffon Summer Boho Long Maxi Evening Party Dress Beach Dress (Size: Medium) - This one was disappointing. I love the dress but I don't understand the size, its too big on me as you can see on the image below. However, the gartered end of the arm is so tight. Its chiffon cloth is so thin, perfect for summer. When I opened it when it arrived, the right string was damaged. I thought its okay not to have it but I realized I need to attached it again because it helps the waist part to look nice. I probably need to have this altered to fit on me just so I can use it.
Boho Women's Chiffon High Waist Summer Beach Long Maxi Dress Elastic Waist Skirt (Size: Medium | Color: Khaki) - I love this skirt its so stunning. It fits perfectly on me. The cloth is chiffon and is very flowy but not so thin that is why I love it more.

Online Shopping: SammyDress.com May Haul


How is everyone doing?
I am so excited to share my latest online shopping adventure. I was very surprise and at the same time very happy with the excellent quality of the bag and clothes that I just shopped at SammyDress.com.
And now, without further ado, here's a review of the clothes and bags that just arrived today...

Ribbed Sweater + High-Waisted Skinny Knitted Skirt Twinset ($5.60). This one is thick and very perfect for cold weather. To be honest, I expected this to be thin that I can wear it casually in a tropical country like ours but I was wrong. Good thing the skirt is pretty wearable. I actually love it. So expect to see me wearing this in the coming #OOTD post in  Instagram or Twitter. ;)  

Elegant Women's Shoulder Bag With Arrow Print and PU Leather Design ($15.48). I was really surprise when I saw the bags. It come in set of six; shoulder bag, tote bag, crossbody bag, clutch, wallet, and keyholder. The quality is so great. When I saw the photos in the review I thought it's made of soft PU fabric. However, its actually thick and sturdy. 
Well, except for the keyholder though because when I opened it one of the metal snap button is so hard to open and it almost come off, good thing I was so careful. Now I don't lock that one snap button only the other one because Im afraid it might come off for good.    

Bodycon Mini Sweater Dress ($15.90). This one has not yet delivered. So I'm excited to see the quality and if it'll fit me since in one size.











#BeautyChitchats: Myra Facial Wash


Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
For today's post will be sharing a new beauty product I just tried. 
I always appreciate and get so excited when I received gifts like this because its a chance for me to try and test new products.
Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash has Moisture Plus formula that retains and seals in skin’s natural moisture, keeping it hydrated and more supple. Contains French Spring Sea Water and Aloe Vera Extract that improves skin elasticity and helps keep it smooth and young-looking 
Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash has Biowhite Complex which is derived from plant extracts that gently whitens skin. And has Niacinamide that evens out skin tone by reducing red blotches to make skin more radiant. 
What's great about the Myra Facial Wash is that the packaging is in easy to squeeze tube. And the expiration date is very visible at the back which secures you that the product is safe to use. 
I have tried using both products and here's what I can say...

Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash
Has a fresh and mild scent. 
Has a foamy consistency.
My skin feels smooth when putting it on your face. It doesnt have the sticky feeling which other facials does.
My skin feels so fresh and soft after using it. That obviously makes me love this facial wash and will surely buy this next time!  

Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash
Has a mild fruity scent.
Has a foamy consistency.
This probably is recommended for oily skins because my face feels very dry after using it.
I haven't tried VitaWhite's whitening effect because I prefer to continuously use the VitaSmooth. 



Myra Vitasmooth Hydrating Facial Wash and VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash are available at all leading supermarkets, drugstores, and department stores nationwide.

#KloutPerks: Moo Business Cards

Got a perk from Klout to get new business cards from Moo.com. Thought it was a good chance to finally work on my business/calling cards so it will be convenient for me to promote my blog and give my contacts when attending events.
Moo.com is an online print and design company that is passionate about great design and the difference it can make to our customers and the world. MOO launched back in 2006 with the aim to disrupt the $640 billion global print industry and make great design available to all by combining professional design with the accessibility and reach of the web.
I like how easy it is to design and customized your business cards on Moo.com. There are a lot of cool templates you can just redesign to suit your personality and taste. You can choose wither square or rounded and gloss or matte paper options.
The lowest package is in 50pcs cards. Since Moo is based in London, I paid $4.25 for the shipping and handling. My business card arrived 26 days after, not bad! The business cards arrived with a free moo case. They're recyclable and made of recycled pulp board, but very durable I must say.
Have you received a Klout perks from Moo.com too?
