Scholastic Warehouse Sale 2017 Book Buffet

I always look forward to book sales, specially Scholastic Warehouse Sale. It’s very near where I live eh. And you know, anything by Scholastic is worth reading. Another exciting about Scholastic Warehouse Sale is their Book Buffet. Imagine, box all you can books for only 799 Pesos! Last December, I got 26 books in a box. This year, I was able to book more!!

Of all the titles I boxed, the most awesome is the almost complete set of The 39 Clues series 1 and Cahills vs Vespers series. There’s only 1 book from each series that was not on the book buffet. Pero madali na lang hanapin yun ano. This is the most awesome because a book is 400+ Pesos. For only 799 Pesos, I got 15 books plus the Agent Handbook. From The 39 Clues books alone, I saved more than 5000 Pesos. Sulit na sulot!

Aside from the books in the book buffet, there are great titles that are also on sale. My third son bought a Geronimo Stiltton Adventure’s Set for 10% off.

Supposedly, I am going to shop while my kids attend the reading workshop, kaso andun din si Morena Mom! Chika to the max na muna syempre while our kids are busy with the reading workshop.

Scholastic Reading Workshop is still ongoing, check the poster below for the schedule:

I am hoping I could go back again before school year starts. Scholastic Warehouse Sale is until June 18, 2017 and is open everyday.

And hopefully makapag book buffet ulit ako!

Stylist In Pocket Review

I am long over due for a shopping spree. Matagal na ako dapat nagpalit ng wardrobe. My husband even gave me budget for that. Pero ang hirap! One time, I went to the mall, armed with my shopping money and I end up feeling sorry for myself. I can’t find the style that suits me huhuhu. I feel so ugly and depressed with how my body looks, specially with how those clothes looked on my body. Nakakaiyak! Ang panget panget ko waaaaaaah. After that event, I never go near any clothes store again. I was so affected with my failed shopping experience. Stylist In Pocket review

Stylist In Pocket Home Visit

I booked an after lunch styling and the team arrived on time, with iced tea on hand for me! At that moment alone, I know that SIP knows how to take care of their clients. The styling is not just for me but for little girl too. So this is like a mommy/daughter bonding time.

This is my favorite outfit, I think you will be seeing me on this every blog event. It makes my boobs look smaller eh

For me, it’s more of black/ gray/white or light colored clothes. I am aiming for less colored closet eh. I need clothes that are smart casual. Something that I could always wear when I attend blog events. Something that I would wear confidently. Having big boobs is not something that I am proud of.

For Sofi, I want some feminine looking outfit for her. Feminine but not too much. Casual and playful is what I want for her.

Love this white dress and the terno jumper for Sofi but it’s too white, I have to let it go 🙁

My stylist, AJ, is very patient with me. He explained very well why a dress or a top would look good on me. I really liked most of the clothes that he gave me. And it’s hard to choose just a few! Kung pwede lang di ba. But you know, I just need a few tops, a dress and a pants. We need to stick with the plan!

5 Tips To Moving To A New House This Summer

Are you relocating this summer? Kudos for picking the right time! The weather is almost guaranteed to be perfect. Let’s add the fact that you don’t have to deal with the chaotic school year if you have children. While moving can be pretty exciting, it’s normal to feel anxious about it. It’s human nature to be territorial and to worry about the unfamiliarity that comes with relocating. In fact there was a study in 2015 that suggests moving home is more stressful than a relationship breakdown or a new job. In order to make your move a little less stressful, take note of our tips below:

Rent a dumpster to clear out trash and unwanted items. Sorting through your stuff can be very overwhelming, especially if you have a lot of clutter. Separate the things you would want to keep from the things you want to get rid of. Have a separate box for items you can still recycle, donate or sell, and dispose of. When you have outdated electronics, unused paints, and gardening products, safely dispose all of them by renting a dumpster. If you have questions about dumpster services, contact the Eagle Dumpster Rental to get a quote.
Use an address change service. Notifying all the important people about your new address and contact information can be time-consuming. Save much of your time and use an address changer service that helps you send automated notifications to different people and companies. You can find many address change solutions that are offered for free.
Hire professional cleaners to give your house the final clean. The previous tenants might have professionally cleaned the house before moving out but you still need to do another cleaning before moving in. It is important especially when the house was left empty for a long time. Get help from professional cleaners who will sanitize every rooms including the bathrooms and kitchens.
Keep your kids busy through childcare arrangements. Packing things can be extra challenging when you have little kids around. Arrange childcare at least two weeks before moving. This is to ensure that you can focus on your moving day. You can also get help from friends and family members to look after your children while you pack and unpack things. If you have kids who are old enough to help out with the move, trust them with responsibilities. Let them do the simple tasks like packing their own belongings.
Check the utilities in your new home. Make sure that your utilities, such as electricity, phone, and cable are working perfectly fine and now under your name. The last but not the list is to check for home security. Change the locks and reprogram the garage code.

Relocating can be difficult. It always comes with fears since moving is a major life transition. But you can make it an exciting journey by making your new house feel like home. Simple things like decorating and unpacking one room at a time can make it less-stressful for you. Take advantage of the friendly weather to check out the neighborhood and know your new acquaintances.
