If you’re a shopaholic like me, you’ll want to subscribe to my RSS feed to find out about the latest in shopping.Getting caught in rush hour traffic as often as I do, I’ve started doing all kinds of strange things in my minivan. Like reading, singing (it’s known as bawling to my captive audience), dancing [...]

Every time I walk past this particular Japanese green tea kiosk at the mall, the kimono-clad promoter would unfailingly offer me a tiny cup of green tea to try.
I always oblige but so far I haven’t bought anything from her. It seems she always catches me at a time when I still have many boxes [...]

During the festive holidays, I heard some talk about a friend who is rumored to be looking for friendship, romance, a wife? Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see.
Many of these guys have been so busy pursuing their careers that they’ve somehow forgone romantic relationships. For those with kids, it would be [...]

You know I was just talking about those reusable bags that the malls are giving away as redemption gifts.
Well, it looks like some smart cookie is recycling old gunny sacks, that are typically used for wholesale items like rice and grains, into these so-called ‘bucket’ bags.
This is not a new idea though. I remember seeing [...]

I must’ve walked past a Red Envelope store about a thousand times but I’ve never once thought to step in.
Well, mainly it’s because I somehow always thought they sell paper and wrappings until I came across their website today and found this…
It’s a twist hide box for storing little trinkets, mementos and what have [...]

I was at the mall yesterday and there was another big wedding promotion going on. Imagine how rich I’d be now if I’d gone into the wedding business .
There are so many gowns on display I wonder whatever happened to the wedding flowers because personally, I think flowers are just as important as the [...]

I went into Guardian, our local drugstore, yesterday and there was this promoter trying to talk me into buying a new skincare product from Japan called Skinz.
No offense, but the letter ‘z’ sounds awfully gimmicky to me. It’s something I would see being done with blog titles and text messages, but on a skincare product?
Just [...]

Many companies have come to realize that people love freebies. I’ll be the first to admit I love freebies too, don’t you? I’ve got whole collections of imprinted promotional products such as caps, t-shirts, pens, mousepads, bags, towels…
But while these are very useful items, they can take up lots of space. So what do you [...]

You’re looking at someone who cuts her own hair and the hair of her kids. Yes, I’m bold that way. I’ve had zero knowledge of how hair works, zero training in hair school!
Armed with sheer courage, I happily snip away… and hope that whatever style I set out to create, it will turn out at [...]

With three teens in the house, you can’t blame me for always being on the lookout for new and better products in acne treatment and prevention.
I think prevention is more important so we should start them on facial hygiene early, get them eating the right kinds of food, etc.
I’ve gotten the kids to try two [...]
