September and October 2017 Collective Haul

It's been a long time since I last posted a collective haul on the blog. My family is my top priority and lately my son has been getting all my attention. He's teething and he had fever for a few days. I am  also monitoring if measles will show up because according to his pedia, he might  have it soon. He's fussy all around and I can't just finish any task quickly. Now that I have a little time, I am able to write something. This only means that I have step back a little on my mommy job and currently multitasking my blogging work. 

Anyhow, sharing with you my hauls for September and October. I don't have much for September because I've been very busy with so many things that I rarely go to the mall and purchase anything, nor was I active in blogging so a little gifts from the sponsor went in. It's also because I am in hiatus when it comes to spending because we just had my son's 1st birthday party and we're trying to save again what went out from the bank. It's quite expensive you know, haha.

Let me start my haul with the recent month and backward.

Sampleroom Haul
Got these items from all my Sampleroom points. I need to review these the soonest so that the points will be replenished right way. 

Books 
It is Marquee Mall's Toy and Travel fair and I scored these books for P50..00 each. I always try to read these to baby before he sleeps. 

Ogalala Lootbag
I attended a talk on Baby Led Weaning, Child Safety In and Out of the Home and How to Encourage Active Play for your infant two weeks ago. This is the loot bag for the participants from Ogalala. I didn't expected this. Thank you very much! 

The Parenting Emporium Lootbag
I donated my milk stash at TPE last October 21 in their office and they gave me this loot bag because I shared my milk. I am touched that one of their the staff  gave an additional gift which is a huge box of galactagogues because I came all the way to Pampanga for the donation. Thanks TPE. Will visit you again the soonest! 

Miniso Haul
Whenever I have baby with me, tbh,, I always find it difficult to shop. So when hubby and I had a date and it's just the 2 of us, (thanks ate for babysitting) we had the chance to do some shopping at Miniso and got these. I love the store so much because you can get a lot for an affordable price! 

Undies
Hubby got these for me. I love the print. He said that I always skip on rewarding myself. (Yes, I always think about the family first)

Skin Sensation and Nature Buds Haul
My sister won in a contest with these and more as gifts so she gave some to me. Will be doing a giveaway soon with these items.. 

Strip-It Haul
It's been a long time since I tried DIY waxing. Sugar wax has been my fave since Day 1 when I started using Strip-It Sugar Wax. Good thing this is available in a concept store in Marquee Mall because I wasn't able to get it online. It was so effective!!  I made a review of this couple of years ago. 

Affordable Haul
I recently found a general merch store, with the help of my friend, in the market that sells unbelievably cheap items. Super cheap. The 12-pc. foot socks were only P130. If you buy a single foot sock in the market, it will cost you P20.00 - P25.00. Isn't t a great deal?Books for P25 each and the envelope for P45.00. I bought the other one at Miniso for P99.00. Market is the best place ever! 

Pampanga's Best Loot
It is my first time to join a boodle fight group contest. Me and my blogger friends from PDI (Pampanga Digital Influencers) recently covered an event and there's a boodle fight contest. They are lacking one group participant of 4.Since we were 4 then. we boldly raised our hands that we will join. (Oh, I was actually the one who raised. Haha) Sadly, we didn't win because one of my friend didn't eat anything. She just ate 1 hotdog. This freebie is for the participants who joined the event. 

McDonalds Halloween Fun Day Loot
It was baby's first time to join a halloween party. Good thing he enjoyed it. He's dancing and smiling to all the kids there. We (his mom and dad) also won on the event which gave him the McDo puzzle and the coloring book. 

McDo Happy Meal Toy
We paid P200 for the Halloween party at McDonalds and we received the one pictured above this and this happy meal toy, together with a meal. I think the fee is worth it because baby enjoyed it. (I enjoyed it too!)

New Clothes (Finally!)
My friends and I recently found a very affordable clothing store  which caters blouses for as low as P99.00 and even skirts for as low as P50.00. All of the items in this photo (sorry, it was a messy photo) was only around P1000.00. It's already a steal for me. The quality also is almost the same in some clothing store in the mall. 

Tiny Buds Baby Tooth Gel
I am now brushing baby's teeth with a tooth gel. Finally! I also have the one from Pigeon which I got from Ogalala. Baby is eating a lot now that I am afraid cavities will build up on his teeth. i need to start him early. 

Pasalubong
Got this from my lovely friend who always travel. 

Nailaholics GC
Yes! Thank to Nailaholics for this reward. will have my pamper soon! 

Hand Sanitizer
I got this cute sanitizer courtesy of the Orange Bucket's opening. It's just so cute that I bought it home and currently using it. 

CANDIES!!!
These are all of baby's candies from his trick or treat activities. Aside from McDonalds, he also joined at SM's. The Kitkat box is from a friend who came from Japan. Thanks Kong! 
(Btw, who will eat this? I do not allow him to eat candies yet. 
Me: Ahem, ahem... 😀) 

... And on to my September loot.

Wishtrend gift
I was picked as one of the bloggers to review this. Thanks Wishtrend

Nivea freebie
You'll get these once you purchased 500 worth of products from Puregold during teacher's month. The promo is done by now. 

So these are all my haul for the 2 months. I think I spent a lot this October. But if you will analyze it, it is not much because the items I got were unbelievably cheap, and some were free.

A big thanks also to all the sponsors who sent me free items. Will really try to share a review or social media exposure on your products soon!

  2. oh those story books are so nostalgic to me.. i remember our fairytale book collections when we were kids and my mom used to read them for us!
    Also I went to Miniso once with my friend... I was so amazed how many affordable items you can get from this shop...it reminds me of Daiso but the products here are more organized and not as random as Daiso haha
    thanks for sharing

    1. And cleaner too. They have a wide range of selection as well. I love shopping in both though because there are stuff that is available in one store and not on the other and vice versa.

  3. That is a good haul of cosmetics. The products from Himalayas are too good I can vouch for them, they are quite popular here. And those baby books... why did my kids grow up I wonder. I used to love reading books to them. :)

  4. Well, you have been quite active in shopping these days. Some nice product you have acquired I must notice. I love those books for children you have bought since I have some similar too. Love to read them to my kids, it kind of brings me back in time when my Mom read stories to me.

  5. Wow! So many thingsss! But actually two things caught my eye. 1) Miniso - I've been dying to go for so long and they finally have one at SM Megamall, going to buy a lot of cute things later this afternoon hehe. 2) Klairs - I've love Kbeauty and I'm actually using the Dear Klairs VitC Serum, it's amazing! Do you have a review on the mask yet? I'd love to read it.

  7. Wow, you've got a lot this haul! I also love Miniso and the items they sell. I even got myself a ceramic induction pan; I love it because it's blue! And, Pampanga's Best!! That's one of my favorite tocinos ever! Also, I'd love to see how your baby looked like during the halloween party!

  8. That's a lot of haul. I want the items from Miniso as usual. Hahaha! Also, even if you didn't win the boodle fight, at least, you still took home some Pampanga's Best. I love that especially tocino for breakfast.

    1. I don't think it is possible to ship here on PH. I know that US also has websites that offers free samples. It is not possible to send it here.

  10. Wow! So many goodies! I absolutely love looking at your hauls - they are always such a treat!

    The tooth gel has such adorable packaging! I hope it works to ease your son's teething pains!

    1. It didn't really ease his teething pains but it helped in cleaning his teeth.

  11. I love SampleRoom! I love the idea of being able to try a product first before purchasing! I also love the fact that if you always reviews the products sent, the amount of points you get rewarded with increase over time.
