When Women Go Shopping and Indulge
Sometimes we women just love to indulge. We can go shopping all day in the mall and end up with loads of things or sometimes we just be just happy browsing and window shopping. And they also call this ‘retail therapy’.
For instance, our husbands or boyfriends may find it hard to understand why we need another pair of shoes or another tote bag. Why can’t we just stick to that same pair of sandals or same shoulder bag? I’m sure you have explained times and times again about different styles requiring different attire and accessories but still, they can’t seem to comprehend why we still need to go shopping for new shoes and bags.
So let’s get back to my earlier introductory statement on ‘indulgence’. Summer is here and you may feel like some simple indulgence on new beach flip flips or a new summer tote bag. Here are a couple of my online favorites:
1) Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc
I have a couple of Marc by Marc Jacob bags and I have always like MJ for its simplicity, quality and modernity. Marc by Marc Jacob’s bags are rather affordable and you can always expect little surprises in every season. Here’s a review of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc:
I’ve been dreaming of owning a Marc Jacobs bag for the longest time now. I own plenty of handbags and I have to say that this is one of my favorites! Although it’s only a fraction of the cost of my other bags, nothing matches Miss Marc’s whimsy and adorable outfits. The inside lining matches my MJ barette so that’s another plus. The only thing that you have to be cautious about is that it IS a natural canvas- so you have to baby it a bit more than you normally would. Also, Miss Marc is printed onto there so at some point- she will probably scuff off. I take exceptional care of my bags and sell handbags for a retailer so my bag is still in great condition. It’s definitely worth the extra care to own such a great bag though! I love it and wish I could own every single Miss Marc tote!
2) Women’s handbags: Orla Kiely Book Bag – Raspberry
I’ve always like Orla Kiely bags. Simple, functional, cheerful, chic and attractive. Their fabrics are unique and pretty, so nice that it’s hard to choose one from another. This cute Orla Kiely Book Bag is just the right color and style for bringing some ‘life’ and cheer to your workplace. Here’s a useful review that says more about the Orla Kiely Book Bag:
Great bag for walking to work!
This bag is larger than I expected, but that’s turned out to be a good thing. I’m using it on the days I have several things to carry to work: heels, food, wallet, phone, bottle of water and who knows what else. The bag is roomy enough to hold these things without being stuffed & bulky. I also like that it’s gotten me out of my purse + shopping bag full of stuff routine. I was worried about the handles since it seemed they should be a little longer, but it is not a problem at all. I’m small but can fit the handles over a medium coat without any problems.
So get ready this summer and start shopping for your beach wear and swim suits. I know some people are already working out in the gym to shed those extra pounds or trying out other weight loss methods like Decaslim. Above all, you may wanna go shopping for some good sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Happy Indulging!
Go Shopping for Dr Hauschka Holistic Skincare
If you are a big fan of organic and natural makeup and skincare, then the brand name Dr Hauschka will not sound foreign to you. Whenever I get a chance to go shopping for organic beauty products in Singapore, I will drop by Dr Hauschka’s holistic beauty counter at Tangs.
I had tried several of Dr Hauschka’s holistic skincare including the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Milk, The Cleansing Cream, Dr. Hauschka Facial Toner, Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream, Dr. Hauschka Daily Revitalizing Eye Cream, Dr. Hauschka Moisturizing Mask, Dr. Hauschka Normalizing Day Oil, Dr.Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask, Dr. Hauschka Bath – Lavender, Dr.Hauschka Neem Hair Oil and the entire range of Dr Hauschka Shampoos.
Amongst all of the above Dr Hauschka holistic skin care and body care, I sincerely adore the Dr.Hauschka Quince Day Cream and the Dr.Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask. The Quince Day cream is one of the best moisturizers as it does not leave a shiny film on your t-zone if you have combination skin. I like the mild, fresh and natural scent of the cream and it doesn’t feel sticky at all.
Quince aids in soothing and healing inflammation and Apricot Kernel Oil acts as a wonderful moisturizer to the skin.
My next favourite Dr Hauschka holistic product is the Rejuvenating Mask. I’ve been using this for years and it’s one of my favourite face masks. Whenever I feel like my face needed a lift or ‘rejuvenation’, a 10 minutes application of the Dr Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask is what I reach for. I love the tube packaging which makes it easy to travel with. A great companion whenever I go especially during my winter holidays where the climate can be dry and harsh for my skin.
Here’s what the Dr.Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask does. It contains the precious and nourishing oils of wheat Germ which helps to reduce redness and blemishes, refines pores, and normalize and balance your skin. By further diminishing the appearance of scars, you can actually gain back that beautiful skin of your youth. After every pampering application, I can literally see a radiance on my face. My skin feels smoother, refreshed, youthful and almost ‘flawless’.
Dr Hauschka rejuvenating mask is ideal for all skin types, especially mature, acne-prone, blemished, scarred, hyperpigmented, and sensitive skin to reduce redness and regain healthy tone and texture. If your budget allows or if you need another holistic mask to complement Dr Hauschka rejuvenating mask, the Dr Hauschka Moisturizing Mask is a great product too.
Actually I can’t wait to go shopping in Singapore again in June. I read great reviews of the Dr.Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Dr.Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate gives a glow to your face while it soothes, hydrates, nourishes, and protects your skin from damage. The subtle color also helps to minimize uneven skin tone.
Here’s a review of the Translucent Bronze Concentrate – Posted By: Becca, 73 (2009-04-11)
I have wasted so much money on the “self-tanning creams”, use them once, toss away. My skin is 73 years old, quite dry and with freckles. The translucent Bronze Concentrate goes on nicely either before or after a touch of make-up, evens it out, and gives me a nice glow of health. Sometimes just the moisturizer and then this Bronze concentrate works well, it does not take much of it. This is now my faux sun tan…

Go Shopping For Eco Bags
So Earth Day is over and I wonder if people still go shopping for eco friendly clothes, eco bags and eco living products for the home.
Sometimes the push to eco living is only temporal and stirred up by a fetish hype but I do hope that the awareness to green living is introduced to more people – young and old. Actually, you don’t have to be a die hard fan of eco living or convert everything in the house to be environmentally friendly. It is possible if you can afford and you are committed to an eco lifestyle but a little effort goes a long way.
Perhaps you are a fashion-conscious lady who is not so keen in those mass produced eco bags handed out free by your local grocery store. Well, why not go shopping for some nice looking eco friendly bags that are good for work, play and leisure. Eco bags are either made of organic or natural cotton, hemp or recycled fabrics/materials. These days, many eco bags are better designed than your branded bags or totes. You can use these eco totes for picnics, outings, travel, grocery shopping…etc. Bringing one of the following eco bags for your Vegas vacations are great for all your shopping buys, children’s snacks, travel knick-knacks, your personal belongings and more.
Here are few of my picks for cool and chic eco bags. You can also go shopping for more eco living products if a green lifestyle is what you seek this year.
1) Beau Soleil Beau USA
This is an organic denim sack in a classy grey color! The eco bag is contrasted by a bright Yellow rope handle and contains multiple exposed and hidden pockets. Made of Organic Denim in Asia.
Beau Soleil is known for its support towards sustainability, fair trade and labor, as well as organic raw materials. They seek to offer consumers environmentally healthy clothing choices without sacrificing fashion. Some of the fabrics used include sustainable bamboo, vegetable-dyed organic cottons, and tencel, which is created from eucalyptus trees. Recycled leather is used for the trims.
2) Sarah Donegan Grande Rose Bag
If you are looking for an eco overnight night that for travel or baby paraphernalia, look no further. A light and comfortable fit across the body, the bag has a large inner pocket and lined with opulent vintage textiles. Made in the UK.
Sarah Donegan’s ‘Ready To Wear’ collection covers a subtle range, featuring eco-kind hessian outer fabrics for every day. Various weights and weaves of textural, natural, jute hessian are washed or boiled, then hand dip dyed in soft, muted tones. As for the handles, crafted hard woods such as walnut, cherry and oak, which are recycled off cuts from local joiners are used.
Go Shopping for Chirally Correct Anti Aging Skincare
I’m sure many women like to look and feel better without invasive procedures, don’t we? This explains why we can continue to go shopping for new products that promise us clearer and youthful skin, erase those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles and brightens our face.
For a long time, I have been searching for skin brightening products for my skin as I am noticing some skin discoloration on my lower cheek areas and brown spots around my eye area. I have heard much about laser treatments but being someone who is phobic about such stuff, During my search for a skin care home program I wanted to look for a long term solution to maintain the results of laser skin rejuvenation treatments. Unlike many individuals, I am not a big fan of injectable treatments though I know they can be effective.
All thanks to the internet (my source of shopping and beauty information, I found a range of skin brightening products that are hydroquinone and paraben free. I know many people found their solutions to the best weight loss pills, best fitness programs and best diet plans in the internet and I’m glad to stumble upon ILLUSTRE ESSENZA skin care products.
As a license esthetician, Pam Tirado created ILLUSTRE ESSENZA that contain Chirally Correct® ingredients. I like her statement of , “If you don’t want to eat it, you may not want to put in on your skin and our cleanser is 100% biodegradable because I’m concerned about the environment as well”. By now, you should know that our skin absorbs what we place on it. Thus, Pam continues to research into the effects of the use of parabens, hydroquinone to lighten and suppress pigment changes in the skin tone and chirally incorrect ingredients, resulting to a range of natural, paraben-free, Chirally Correct® ingredients products.
If you like me are searching and shopping for anti aging skin care products that brightens the skin with no parabens, check out ILLUSTRE ESSENZA Anti-Aging Skin Care Products. 100% Paraben Free & Chirally Correct.
Go Shopping for Presents For Men
I had just returned from a great 4 days 3 nights break in Phuket. The company was great, the accommodation fabulous, the food yummy and the fun indescribable! Though I didn’t go shopping everyday, I managed to do a bit of last minute buying at the Jim Thompson in the Mai Khao Beach Club. It was still good!
Before I left for the trip, I was introduced to a Presents For Men store by a friend. I thought it was interesting to see so many health and wellness presents for men in the store. You can find dietary snacks, weight loss presents, gifts for senior men, younger men, men’s birthday presents and also active and adventure gifts for your men.
I have to reemphasize the convenience of shopping online these days. Not only do you save on time but you can learn to be eco friendly too cos you don’t need to drive your car at all! If buying health related presents is not what you are looking for, how about some eco natural gifts to help promote green living. You can buy eco natural gifts for the mind and body, clothing and accessories for that special birthday and anniversary.
So go shopping for presents for men online for weight loss gifts, wellness gifts, dietary related gifts, outdoor adventure gifts, active lifestyle gifts and more!
