Good news! Rosewoman already sent me my winning of $50 for the April Giveaway contest on her blog. It is pretty awesome because I can do my shopping at her Powermall website. Great. I chose OldNavy.com because it is one of my favorite clothing stores.  There are plenty of clearance items to choose from.  I am excited to shop now.

Watch out for Rosewoman’s May and June giveaway contest. She is working on it now.

Yes, the $50 gift card! I won it! When I checked emails just now an email from Heidrun of Rosewoman was in my inbox.

It said, “CONGRATULATIONS! You made it – you won the 50$ gift card.”

I am very excited. ‘Cannot believe it. I made it and won the April Giveaway at the SUMMER Group. I am going to shop at Powermall.com’s store of my choice. Yey!

Oh by the way, Rosewoman will again host a giveaway this May. Watch out and join.

A $50.00 Gift Certificate will be awarded to the lucky winner. Isn’t it wonderful?

Yesterday was another driving day. We went to Plano to run errands. After a big lunch in Papasito’s, a Mexican restaurant, we did some mall hopping. We chilled at Collin Creek Mall for a while and bought a couple of karaoke CDs. We stopped by Academy and got ourselves a few nice shirts ($ 4.88 an item). My honey got a new pair of Wrangler jeans for $24.99. Fry’s Electronics was the last store we have sneaked in. We bought a software for video editing, which has been planned two months ago.

All the tasks were accomplished yesterday. We are proud of ourselves!

What I want to give to my cousin today is a night gown. She and her fiance has been wedded on February. We were not able to come over because it was a “hurry”. She has to do it quick before her 90 days stay (here in the USA) validity expires.

I bought this night gown at Dillard’s department store. It is a dolly gown made with Satin fabric. It feels good on the skin especially on the Summer. My cousin will surely like it.

You might wondering where is the picture. Well, the connection from my camera cable and computer is messing up so I will try uploading later today.

We women are fond of buying clothes for our wardrobe collection. Regardless of season, we shop at any store to find great values on clothing, accessories, handbag, and shoes. Men shop very often but when they do, they spend money big time on the stuff they really like.

Now, do you update your wardrobe collection? I do. In a month, I buy something essential to add in my collection of clothing in the closet. But it has been a habit to me since I started earning money. But I am a wise spender too. If I do not need it, I am not buying it.

How about you?

Yey! It is March and Spring is here.  Green, new blooms are in sight.  I am so happy that my Amaryllis plant is growing its leaves again.  I will be in trouble if it does not.

Anyway, I think of buying some flowering plants one of these days.  I want some replacements (for my roses?) of some sort.  Maybe I can find new plants when we go to Tyler because there are nurseries and plant vendors along the road.  I bought two rose plants last year for a very reasonable price.

‘Hoping to see the flowers soon.

Mine is just simple. Whenever I think of buying some things, I go to the stores and look if they are on sale. If not, I just find something else that fits to my budget. Often times I end up buying more than I want (chuckles).

My habit is to go to the mall or go to the stores I constantly visit…like Old Navy for example. I went there yesterday. While doing some window shopping, I saw this piece of lingerie. It is pretty and perfectly in my size. The price is only $.99 and I bought it. What a deal!

…to give as gifts to someone.  You see I have items such as accessories, clothing, and others NEW/SECOND HAND for sale.  And I want to sell them in a VERY low price with *FREE Shipping.  I will post photos and specs soon.

Now that I am working on a retail store, I learned a few things on my shopping lifestyle. It has been a habit to go to the mall or stores to buy stuff on sale. What I learned is that, shoppers should be aware of extra discounts on merchandise with markdown prices. This time of the year, huge sale on fall and winter items are on, because stores are getting ready to display items for the spring and summer. Also, stocks from housewares, furniture, and cosmetics are in huge discounts. I bought a lot of things not only for myself but for everybody in the family too.

So if you have the funds or savings to shop this time of year (for gifts or for future use), go to your favorite stores today and enjoy shopping!
