Make Up Case At 168 Mall Divisoria

When I said I need a make up case.. I am serious about that! My make up collection is growing and for sure I would not stop from buying more and more.. hey I only have a few eye shadow palettes! haha

Looking for cheap make up case or cosmetics case was not easy.. cheap as in less than 2000 PhP. I saw some make up cases at Sulit but waah ang mahal! 2000+ ang isa.. The one I was looking at Suesh was 3500, dudugo ang bulsa ko!

My search finally brought me to Abby’s Beauty Corner, she said her make up case was from Divisoria for 1500PhP. Now that’s my budget! So I contacted Abby and was really glad that she answered my inquires right away 🙂 She got the train case daw sa 168, ground floor.. near escalator.

And without much adieu.. may I sugod ako sa Divi! joke lang! I was scheduled to go to Divisoria this week, to buy a few umbrellas and to check for wigs as well as ask for the contact details of Mannequin Incorporated*.. been getting a lot of inquiries regarding Monique. My Mannequin from Divisoria..the first baby I bought there. It’s a half body mannequin (form fitting mannequin type) perfect for sewing. I bought it for 1900 last 2010.

Say hello to Monique!

And say hello to my make up case:

also say hi to my cosmetics:

Where to buy cheap make up case at Divisoria?

Abby was right! It was in 168 Mall, ground floor. I got that for 1100 PhP, initially 1300PhP (kaso barat ang lola nyo, tawad ko nga noong una 1k eh hehe). The store is near the information area, upon entrance (enter at Soler Street), turn left and the second stall (not cabinet display ha) on your left is the make up case store. Wala kase ung camera ko, di tuloy ako naka pag photo opp hmp! They sell make up cases in different sizes, the smallest is at 1000PhP, about a size of a soda in can.. they also sell bigger make up case, not sure though if they have train cases with lights.

The umbrellas I bought:

The black and the green one, 50 PhP each, polka dots to flowery, 150 PhP.. umbrellas are so cheap in Divisoria, it is so hard not to hoard! haha

Pero hindi ako nakabili ng wig 🙁 1200 ang cheapest, shortest pa un ha.. ipong muna ng bongga or mag antay sa advertiser ng bonnga!

Travel Plans For 2012

It has been years since we last travel. Travel to us means going to our favorite beach destination. The last time we did was in 2009, then I became pregnant with the little girl. So many things happened after that and long travel was not on our priority list. Occasionally, we would have short trips, to Tagaytay most of the times but never as far as La Union or even Nueva Ecija.

2009 La Union

This year, I think we will be including travel in our to do list. I have read great review of hotels in Majorca I don’t think we can go there this year. We are going to take it one slow step at a time. Maybe one travel this year that includes plain ride (thank goodness for seat sales, I was able to book a very cheap flight) and 2 or more road travel, long road travel.

Of course Magaluf hotel reviews from Majorcan holidays .co.uk was bookmarked for future reference. I want my kids to experiencing travelling out of the country and discovering great places all over the world. But before we can do that, we have to discover first the beautiful places in our country.

New Trellis In My Garden

When my winged bean/ sigarilyas plants started crawling, I put up a small trellis. Later I learned, the trellis I made was too small and that I need to put a bigger one. It was a dilemma to me since I do not have a big land. As you know, our garden is just about 2 feet by 6 feet (or 8, sorry I can’t remember), so it really is very small. This is how my first trellis looked:

The photo was taken last May then in June, the winged bean/ sigarilyas completely covered the trellis. I was thrilled seeing the beans growing and was more thrilled when last week of June, I discovered that it’s starting to grow flowers! I was so overwhelmed with the thought that the beans will soon start to bear fruit. So what I did was to add more trellis to support the growing plant. A brilliant idea came to me and here it is:

If you can notice, the first photo (trellis) was outside while the second trellis I made was inside. In a way, it will also serve as a shade when we have small parties or art and crafts activity on that area.

Aside from being a shade to us, picking the fruit would be easier with this kind of trellis.
