There was a hail stom in Prague last week which destroyed many cars parked outdoor. My father-in-law’s car was badly beaten. Its still relatively new, only bought two years ago. The car’s roof has big dents from the hail that dropped on it. Dad isn’t sure if its covered by his car insurance coz the damage was caused by a nature or if it can even be fixed. While dad is worried about his car, hubby was less concerned over ours coz its already an old one and it didn’t suffer as much damage as dad’s. Fortunately our car was parked under the tree which shielded the roof from the hail but still it has minor dents. This is the disadvantage of not having a covered parking area especially if your car is still new or expensive. Cars aren’t protected from various weather changes and are also in danger of being robbed.

Shopping smart is the way to go especially if you’re fond of this activity. There are many ways inorder to save money when buying. Mostly common are buying in bulk, shopping during store sale, buying from suppliers or by using discount coupons.

The biggest mall in our city recently had a three-day mallwide sale which attracted thousands of people including us. I had to buy several important stuff for our baby and buying during the sale gave us big savings. We weren’t able to go over to the other store departments because we were tagging the kids along but still, we were able to avail of their good offer in the beauty section.

I hope there will be more mall sale while I’m around the city.  :)  I should make a list of things to buy, so when that time comes, I already know which part of the store to go to.

Do you remember the toothbrush holders I’ve blogged the last time? Well, I decided to also buy one for myself after seeing how cool it really is. First feature is that my toothbrush now has it’s own container. I can easily bring it where ever I go. Second, it can be placed on tiles or mirrors, really convenient when travelling. Third, it can be opened easily by just pulling the toothbrush away from the holder. And lastlty, it snaps close when you put the toothbrush back inside. Can I add one more? Did I mention that they’re sooo cute? I got one for my sis too.

side by side, my sis and my toothbrush holders.

Meet Elly Elle.  She’s mine!

 Meet Twiggy Piggie

Who says they’re only for kids?

*update:  I showed this holder to my 70 year old mom and what it can do, and guess what?  She wants to have her own too!  I didn’t expect she’d like it too considering her age.  While other folks her age are worried about their sickness, disability insurance and health, my mom is still into these cool stuff for youngsters.  It only shows that this adorable animal toothbrush holder is for people of all ages. Do you want one too?

I found some cute animal toothbrush holder tonight!  I was out shopping in Handyman for a plug receptacle for our aircon unit and ant killer when I saw the cute holders.  I have wanted my daughter to have one after seeing my neice and nephew’s toothbrushes hanging in their kiddie holders.  I thought it can be bought only in Bangkok so I was very happy when I saw them earlier.  I bought 5 pieces coz I’m planning to give some to my friends’ kids too.  I’m pretty sure they will like their kids to have it.  They’re still inside the shopping bag, which means I haven’t taken pics of them yet.  Promise, tomorrow I will!

I better hit the sack and dream of ice cream, mangoes, lofty steel buildings, and white sandy beaches.  Good night everyone!

Big sis needed to buy a pair of slippers for my nephew. While she was choosing the right size, I wandered off to the racks close by and saw an interesting hair accessory that can be used in many ways. It can be a scarf, a hair tie, a wrist band, headband, etc. For its multiple uses, it comes in very cheap price of approximately $1.50 if converted to USD. There weren’t many designs to choose from so I bought only two. I influenced big sis and she bought two for herself too. Since then, I haven’t gone back shopping for girlie items. There are so many things I’m planning to canvass, even Moen kitchen faucets for the house, but I’m stuck at home most of the time coz my daughter is so clingy to me.

Anyway, here’s the magic scarf I’m talking about:

I bought mine in Robinson’s mall.

As I go through my clothes to be packed up for our upcoming vacation, I’m reminded that some of them don’t fit me anymore; I wonder if I should lose weight. As I said “I’m not fat, I just have a big tummy.” He he. I’ve gone through apidexin reviews, apidexin being claimed to be an effective weight loss pill. I wonder if this will suit me.

As you see, most medicines and pills depend also on one’s anatomy; different individuals have different reactions to these. That’s why it’s best to do some research about a certain pill, noting your medical history and getting some advice from your personal doctor.

Dobrá máma is a Czech phrase which means good mama.  It’s the name of yoghurt I love to eat.  I got to taste it first when it was served during breakfast in the hospital where I gave birth to my second child.  I liked the vanilla flavor and since then I always stock on it when we go grocery shopping.  Hubby has always liked stracciatella flavor and bought this kind one time.  When I tasted it, I instantly love it!  It tasted better than all the other flavors they have.  Everytime we go shopping, we always have Dobrá Máma yoghurt in our cart.  I eat it almost daily, sometimes more than once in a day.  :)  It’s a healthy snack and also a healthy substitute when you’re craving for ice cream. It’s great to incorporate this into the diet for those who are conscious about their figure. If you’re worried about diet pill side effects, just keep fit by eating healthy food (including yoghurt) and exercising.

Dobrá Máma yoghurt is available in many flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, chocolate with cherries, banana, strawberry… so far those are the kinds I have already tried.

I finally got to take pictures of SOME of the stuff I shopped last weekend. I have to tell you that these are really good deals coz I got as much as 70% off from their original price.  It’s heaven! hehehe Not bad eh?

Add belt and wear accessories with this one and turn this simple dress into a fashionable one.

Sailor inspired shirt, long enough to be worn as a dress.  Or you can pair it with a denim shorts.  It is perfect for the beach!

I didn’t fit all the clothes I bought including this one.  Unfortunately this doesn’t fit me.  I can’t close the button!  It’s either this shorts is too small for me or I have a wide waistline! :P  Don’t tell me to go looking for top diet pill. I’m not fat, I just have a big tummy, that’s all. hahaha

And these two colorful tops are for the little girls in our family.  They remind me of candies.  And they’re so summery too!

I also bought belts and a bag… I can’t find them.  They quickly got lost in the treasure pile.

I just couldn’t contain my excitement here! We stopped for a short dinner last night at the mall and what did I see? Big SALE signs! Weeeee! Unfortunately it was already almost closing time, so I was able to enter just one store, browsed a bit and walked away empty-handed.

But the malls’ department store was still open until midnight so after dinner, we went there to check out what they have. They were also having a sale, that’s where I went crazy and started grabbing stuff (some for my pasalubong). I really think I should open an online shop for my shopping finds coz I like buying but now I’m feeling guilty that I have so much already. hehe I still have to think how to do it the proper way, or if its even feasible.

Anyway, I am still lazy to take pictures of my loot. Maybe later I can do it and I will upload it here for you to see.
Have a happy Monday everyone!!!

Two weeks ago, there was a huge car boot sale that happened in the city. I have been looking forward to going there and was telling my friends about it. Unfortunately, that day hubby has to work leaving me no choice but to stay home and watch the kids while he finished his assignment. We managed to go to the sale after he was done with work but it was already almost 30 minutes before closing time when we got there. Most of the sellers have already packed and left. There were only a few that lingered, wanting to get rid of all their stuff and they were slashing down their prices - they’re almost give-aways! I was able to buy a couple of checkered blouses, some pair of branded jeans and my daughter even got FREE stuffed toys. A friend was able to buy speakers, a bag (for half a dollar!) and also pretty blouses. It would have been more fun had we arrived earlier, we could have seen or bought many interesting stuff. Do you think someone was selling humidifier filters? How about old but still working computers? Oh well, that’s the beauty of bargain-hunting. You wouldn’t know what you’ll unearth in the pile of people’s trash.

More bargain finds soon! I still have to take pictures of ‘em!
