Yes! you won’t see me in town this Christmas – we are heading to the South to get some warm and the sun. The hotel we are staying in provides everything – it’s the all inclusive type of vacation but we are not bringing our kids because we are going to be spending a lot of time at the pool. When she is older we will bring her a long – but if only the hotel had a pool gate – i bet all my girlfriends would bring their kids with them. You know when you are on a vacation – you don’t want to be worrying about the kids falling into the pool right? so we rather be safe than be sorry – our homes have pool gates when our kids were young – so such a big hotel – I would say it would be really nice if they do it with the big people’s pool. But anyhow – we are heading to the south for the New Year but only 7 days – see you when we come back.
Yes ! I had to buy myself something right to end the year with something good as everyone tells me – and since I loved handbags so much – I had to get this Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Sam Tote. What a name right? yes! long and weird but I loved the look of the handbag. Made of leather and suede – this handbag cost me about $500 – I know it’s a lot of money – but compared to my LV crazed years – this is nothing.
The other goodie that I bought was this Bow Clutch by J. Crew for less than $50 – it’s on discount – and who can resist a bow clutch – goes with any of my evening wear and cocktail parties even for housewarming.
So I saw a launch by some actress in Hong Kong for Clinique’s Dark Spot Corrector and am dying to try it. I saw a u-tube presentation by the above – and she said she wasn’t really thrilled thus far about the result but haven’t yet seen any more updates about it. For those who’ve tried this – please leave a comment – for a $48 is not really as cheap and aging gracefully and beautifully is my aim. So if it helps with dark spots I wanna buy it – but if it doesn’t I don’t want to waste my time.
Beauty and Health goes hand in hand and for many people – they think that woman who goes to spa does it because they want to look beautiful – but truth be told it’s because we want to be healthy as well. Why massages, saunas and Reiki and hair do etc? well, it’s because massage are good for blood circulation and sauna is good for ridding toxins in your body and Reiki is supposed to balance your body as well. My massage therapists are so professional – they have this PC based ekg machine that they used on high blood pressure customers before they massage them or before they go into a sauna and steam room. Yes ! very high tech if you don’t know by now – they really invest in the health of their customers and not just a place to make you look beautiful. The PC based ekg is something that is affordable even for ordinary people like you and I – but for hotel’s clinic as well. I used to work in the hotel industry where 500 employees were the norm – so the clinic as this PC based ekg machine to help with looking after their empl0yees as well. Therefore, i’m familiar with the PC based ekg machine when I see one – I’m impressed with my massage therapist – and glad that she invested in one – because it sure made me feel a lot safer everytime I go for my massage.
Love this handbags from R+J Handbags and at a discount price of more than 50% from FAB – you have gotta buy it. The color is right – and at $51 – everyone can afford it. I like the simple yet classic design and even though it’s not leather – I can lived with it – I think a really good buy to add to my handbag collection. They come in different colors too – the other color i liked is brown – so I may get both the brown and black.
Last year, we had attended a bridal show up in Toronto – and this year we are planning on going for another one. Not because I am getting married again – but because it’s fun to go on a road trip with my girlfriends. One of them has a RV and we don’t even need to be driving because her spouse will be doing the driving. It’s nice to have an RV and of course a 5th wheel insurance that goes with it – and we girls are so lucky to have a friend’s spouse who would drive us up to Toronto once a year. We get to eat, shop and watch the bridal show and come home with a lot of photos for my friend’s bridal shop here in town. We get treated so well during the event, champagne, mini sandwiches and all sorts of fruit tarts that you can eat. I love the make over too – and the tips we pick up from the bridal show and all the new product samples that we get. All our money we bring are spent on ourselves – we don’t have to pay for gas for the RV or hotels – pretty awesome trip.
It’s great to be Roots insider – because you get first dips on all the goodies they have new. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these bags. And as much as I would loved to get one before Christmas – I’m waiting for a 25% discount before buying one.
Yes! you would never read about me shopping at a Hardware store unless it is during Christmas – for the outlaws loved do stuff with their hands – such as logging wood or repairing their trucks or RV. This year – the brother-in-law had helped us fixed our truck – as it had a hole near the oil tank – so we are very grateful – and we figured we should get him a good Christmas present this year – and after looking at some miller welding helmets I decided it would be a good investment to get one for him too. So when I do need his help in future – I don’t have to feel bad about it. Hahaha!! another smart shopping decision.
So this is the Roots sport watch that we had won during a Facebook contest – it is a really nice one – but guess what – this $100 + watch – the spouse doesn’t want to wear it because he said it was too bulky ! now isn’t that a bummer! I don’t really want to give it away since I won it – so I’m having a lucky draw – at the store – so that a customer can win it again. Most people wouldn’t find this watch bulky – but the spouse has a really thin dress watch – so I guess anything else is bulky to him. I loved watches but not the sport watch type – I know of a friend who has all sorts of sport watches but I doubt she would want a Roots – all her sport watches are in $1000s of dollars. So I hope someone will enjoy the watch though after the lucky draw.
Yes! I can’t get enough of the winter boots as you an see – so I’m getting a little more adventurous and trying out winter boots with heels. Of course, the spouse doesn’t think it is a good idea – but if you never try, you never know eh. And this is a winter boots from Payless but it’s not cheap either – about $145 but it’s very comfy – I loved it – wait till i get a chance to go out and walk with it. A woman can’t have enough boots right? I think the spouse needs to make room for my shoes and boots in the basement really soon.
