My Zalora Wishlist

This is so exciting!

If Zalora were a genie and I were the one who rubbed the lamp, Zalora will be granting five items from the wishlist to a very lucky blogger. 

So let's say for example, the items were listed on a wishlist from Zalora, which ones would it be? 

This is a twisted cropped cardi in black, and would be a great fashion staple in every girl's closet, not to mention the color can easily be matched with any plain or print top or dress. With full sleeves, it could keep my arms warm especially in the office where there's next to zero degrees temperature. 

This Reena striped print is great for a summer dress, and the style is appropriate for any beach party this season. Match this with any wedge or flats, you're on your way. (See, she's very happy with the very summer-y pastel colors!) 

Keep it neutral with this braided strapped Carina wedge and add some inches. I'll be sure to be walking tall and proud in this pair! It's one great style all year round, and surely my feet will be rested even when strolling down the boulevard in these. This is simply a classic! (Dear Zalora genie, I'm a size five by the way...)

This top is just the right material, and it's no-fuss wear by the looks of it. Need to go to the mall for a sec? No problem. Want to take in some fresh air at the park? No problem. Going to the beach with friends? No problem. Running late for work? No problem. Put on this Kiara Ext Top and add some nifty, kitschy cute accessories and head on out that door!

 

Of course, where would a working-girl, barkada-loving, blogger, writer, everyday commuter be without a trusted bag? It's the magic carpet of all essentials, so while Zalora is being generous, it's great to add in this Shoulder Tote Bag as a plus. It's extremely useful for those mountain hikes, beach visits, camp fires and lazy weekends. It's quite fun to be ultra-fashionable with this too.

Sleeping Bookworm

I've been away for a while, but still I caught this little boy sneaking upstairs and snoozing all by himself. This will be all for today's post, but I'm leaving you with a couple of photos of Rocky, our little baby. 

He gave a smile for the camera here, he must have felt kind of guilty. 

And I guess he just fell asleep after reading all those books saying:

"I've got enough knowledge already stored in this super big head of mine".

Firmoo Optical: Helping Bloggers See The Light

My package from Firmoo arrived yesterday, right here in the studio and I was surprised to know right there and then that I was one of those who were given a free pair of eyeglasses from Firmoo Optical Global Online Store.

How I Got A Free Pair of Glasses

See that tiny ad by the side of your Facebook page that says you can get a free pair of glasses if you're a blogger? That's the same ad that sent me a free pair of glasses. All I did was answer via email and gave my prescription. After a week, my free pair arrived. I didn't pay for anything.

The Site

The shop sells all types of reading glasses, sunglasses and fashion glasses. There is a promo ongoing as of the moment. Free vouchers will be sent to new buyers through their emails. This is a promo strategy and you may want to take advantage of this. There are over 300 styles of classic and fashion eye wear, and goggles for sports. For those who want to receive free eye wear, you get to choose the frame style for free. Need prescription lenses? No problem, it's also available for free. A filter search at the left side makes it easier for you to find what you're looking for.

The Frame

I chose a plain black frame so it can go well with most of my clothes. The frame is lightweight and very practical for me. I like using my new pair of glasses for reading at home. (I still have my old pair which is quite usable too.) I picked one with decent temple width to help support my lenses because I have specified prescription, and this works well for me.

The Lenses

The lenses are scratch free, and my eye wear came complete with a box, cleaning cloth and travel pouch. The box is made of plastic and it's lightweight, and compact and should be no problem when it comes to traveling.

I'm super grateful to Firmoo's Free Glasses for Bloggers program because my initial checkup with my doctor  already gave me the heads up of spending Php 3,000 plus on my new eye wear. With the free pair, I got to save the amount and got to enjoy my glasses as a freebie, with the new prescription I got from my doctor too.

(Wearing the geeky glasses outdoors) 

Thank you Firmoo for making this a possibility for me! =)

Baking Tools Mini Haul and Treats for Doggies

Been busy but it's been fun.

I decided to surprise my Mom yesterday after we parted ways. Her hobby is baking and she enjoys baking cakes for the weekend and taking orders from her office mates for functions, birthdays and some special events. Her craze lately is the buco pie.

But she has been complaining about not having an oven thermometer to use at home. I think she has trouble with the dials and reading on the thermostat in the oven when it becomes too warm. She also says that most of the baking supply stores here in Zamboanga don't have good oven thermometers. Another problem, our big whisker seems not to cooperate with her whenever she whisks cream and the buco pie filling. I know it's too old and it needs to retire from the many years it has served the kitchen, so she expressed desires of having to replace it soon.

Luckily, I decided to go to do a pit stop at Mindpro grocery to pick up some yoghurt yesterday afternoon and I spotted an oven thermometer and a nine-inch whisker. Good thing I had enough money in my wallet and decided to surprise my Momsy, this month being Women's International Month and all.


And she was delighted to have these brand new tools for her baking.

 ( 9-inch wire whisker at Php80 from Mindpro grocery)

(Oven thermometer at Php258 also from Mindpro grocery)

And I got these chew toys for the puppies at home. Total cost (or damage) is about Php200 from the Pet Grocery in Campaner Street. 

It might be too early for Mother's Day but Mama just did some pagpaparinig that she wants a Lazy Susan for her cake decorating someday. This will require some participation from Papa. He eats all of the baked goods anyway. 

Happy Thursday to everyone! I will be blog hopping soon! =p
