I love finding great stuff on sale!

On a rainy Monday afternoon in Orlando, my hubs and I  decided to spend time checking out the Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall, since it's Labor day and I've heard that they put up good deals during holidays like this.


We checked out the Old Navy outlet near the Mall at Millenia and I'm happy to find a pair of jeans on clearance and it says $8.99 on the tag! I immediately tried it on and voila! It fits me( a little tight on the waist, but I can still zip the whole thing. :p) and there's no need to fix the hem. It's from Diva and the original price was $19.99.
Original price was $19.99 and I got this for $8.99
Then we went to the Florida Mall and since we park near JCPenny, we checked the the deals they had today. There's this one pair of jeans that I'v fallen in love with lately. It's called jeggings - they are leggings which are styled to look like tight denims. I like it because it looks like one of those skinny jeans, but it's not purely denim so I won't have to struggle when pulling my jeans past my hips and bum. It's spandex slash denim, so it flatters your curves. I like wearing leggings at home 'coz I won't have to deal with buttons, but I'm not so comfortable wearing them outside when doing errands 'coz I feel naked when I have it on. I'm thankful to whoever came out with the idea of jeggings 'coz I can finally have the comfort of buttonless leggings with the feel of denim.
Original price is $38 and I got this pair for $12.99


Then a couple of weeks ago, since I really love the food here in America, I had and I NEED to get a new pair of jeans 'coz all of the jeans I brought from the Philippines won't close no matter what I do. I need instant liposuction just to make my old jeans fit me. Finding a good pair here is very hard 'coz I'm not tall and most jeans sold here are for tall people. Good thing it was the back to school sale and clothing under $50 have no sales tax. We passed by Sears and I was able to find a pair of Levi's jeans made for petite women. The hem didn't need fixing and I can still zip the jeans even when I'm full
Original price is $44, but I got this pair for $13
I'm hoping that I won't gain more weight because I hate figuring out one day that I can no longer zip my jeans and do the buttons. I hope I will shed the unwanted weight soon and fit into my old jeans again. I need to go back to a size 6 to look and feel better. Heaven help me!

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

2012

I'm on a standstill. I feel so lost - I have lost myself into oblivion and I don't know if I can find myself again. All I see is darkness - I feel weak and hopeless. When will this agony end?  I want to be thankful for the blessings I have received, but the pain and challenges over shadows all the good things that are happening to me.  I feel like there's a dark cloud above me that just won't go away. It just sits there and I think it waits for me to feel really down and rain will just pour and wash way everything that I have left - my strength, hope, determination... everything. This feeling is killing me. When will the sun shine again? I want to quit. I can't quit. I wish I was a kid again, so I won't have to worry about grown up stuff. Growing up is hard, no one told me it is going to be easy in the first place. Who was I kidding?  I have to get out of this rut and be my strong, sure self again. This feeling is tiring.  I need that little glimmer o...

My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here:  http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html . I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale ...
