Sustainable lifestyle upkeep with Lazada

Start looking ooutside the box and see beyond what is taught to us as traditional. It's just a more intellectual way of saying that you would rather play safe than try out something completely out of your comfort zone. It isn't wrong but it isn't a kind of life worth living as well. Lazada Philippines encourages Filipinos to make smart purchases by availing their selected items on sale for a limited time only. But turn your frown upside down because though certain items are on sale for only a limited amount of time, the constant number of times they put up a sale is more than what your fingers can count with two hands. It's Lazada's way of reeling in customers which has been proven to be effective considering how much money they have made in the past few months. They make it affordable to live a life in style. If you thought it was impossible to put up a room in a way you have always dreamt of since you were in kindergarten because of how costly it seems, don't lose hope. Because everything comes with a price. And in time, everything will be put on sale. That's the beauty of patiently waiting for a blessing to rise above our heads. But don't wait last minute until you embrace it. Like I said, these sort of things don't last forever.  

Now, no matter how great a sale is, if you can't really accomplish any type of transaction, then it's pretty much useless. Before doing anything drastic like giving yourself a shopping spree, make sure the ways of payments available are applicable to your set of standards. Lazada currently has two methods of payments. They used to have more but I'm guessing some of it weren't as maximized as the final two they ended up with. Just like shopping in mall stores, you can either pay in cash or credit. It depends on your preference. I personally suggest being open to both options since sometimes paying in one specific guarantees more discounts. Sometimes this online shopping website gives out more discounts and installments when using the featured card (Visa or Mastercard). It's actually very advisable to those who would rather break down their expenses into monthly installments to make each monthly bills lighter in terms of load. My brother used this a number of times already. He tells me that it makes him less guilty to purchase more items than usual because the total amount he has to pay for at the end of each month is the same as paying in one full blow. 

Don't beat yourself up for having just a reasonable amount of pay compared to how much you pictured yourself earning before being an actual taxpayer. It's not impossible to make your dreams happen even in the simplest form of material possessions. As long as you're not spending too much or above what you can afford, you have every right to enjoy the money you worked very hard for.

Smart buying this gift giving season

Ever heard of a girl going crazy over a sale? It's not a myth. I would know since I've experienced it once or twice or maybe more. I can't resist going over every bazaar I hear about. Whether it's in Quezon City, Pasig, Paranaque or just plain old Manila, I would have this urge to check out each one just to see if anything would interest me. This habit wasn't something I was proud of but I'm happy to say it's something I eventually got over.

Through the years, I became best friends with my iPad that eventually resulted to my next obsession, online shopping sales. Now, this is actually a lot worse than the bazaars I used to go to. Sales online come up regularly sometimes even daily. But if there's one thing I like about it compared to actual bazaars is the range in the discounts. The sales online are also a lot better because not only are they more affordable, they are also a lot more convenient. I used to drive from North to South whenever the holidays would come but with online sales, it requires less labor. A lot less.

Also, if I don't find something I like in one site, I don't feel as devestated as I would if I actually went there to come out empty handed. My very recent purchase was from Lazada. They were selling discounted cameras and it was perfect for Father's Day. My parents are flying to Malaysia by the end of the month. My dad's a frutrated photographer so he takes pictures of literally everthing he sees with his iPhone. I wanted to buy him a DSLR but I thought to myself that would be too bulky for him. A digital camera would be perfect not to mention cheaper. Not that I'm hesitant to spend on my dad. It's just a lot more practical. Because Lazada's popularly known for their wide array of gadgets, it was inevitable for me to find something my dad would like. I also thought of buying my dad the latest digital camera where people could directly upload online from the camera itself.

But then I realized my dad doesn't even have Facebook so that feature would be useless. I bought a Canon digital camera with 20 megapixels. It's super small and slim. Father day has passed and I still haven't given it to my dad. I still have not gotten around visiting because of work but I intend to give it over the weekend during our family dinner for before they leave for one week.  I hate it when people think that those who give out gifts on sale are cheap and rude. I think with what's happening with the economy, it's very smart. Even the latest gadgets anyway are being put on sale so I don't see what's so wrong with being intelligent about buying items that can be bought for lower prices. And besides, what ever happened to the popular cliche, "It's the thought that counts."?

Safe SALE shopping with Lazada Philippines

Treat yourself to some good therapy by rewarding yourself a shopping spree. An online spree that is. Lazada Philippines makes it impossible for online shoppers to not consider buying something considering how massive the sale bombs they put up are. Saying Lazada is generous when it comes to offering discounts would be an understatement. They offer brands from internationally known to locally made merchandises for a steal. If you thought season end sales were overwhelming, you would be surprised just how often you can feel the sensation of cheap thrills without having to wait for the season to end.

What online users don't know is that there are more unexpected treats online than when you try your luck walking in a mall. If some people think that it's better to have someone to bargain with than settling with what the computer can offer, then that's keeping it safe and a sad result of laziness. The internet has billions of users every second while a  mall consists of only a few thousands. Thinking that talking to a thousand is more logical than finding a good deal from a billion people is well, stupid. Lazada can offer you discounts that you'll hardly find in stores on a regular basis. And if you're one who would rather stay home and skip on some weekend shopping, you'll more likely miss the good sales. Having internet access does not only connect you with your friends, it also allows you to finish your errands and enjoy the rest of the day to yourself.

You can always count on online shopping to take you away from the devestating reality of having to cross out a few errands on your checklist. Buying essentials and what not can be a buzzkill.  Don't worry about getting ripped off. Those were before security governing bodies existed. Now, online shopping websites are given more attention and online shoppers are entertained regarding concern that arise through various online activities. Lazada for instance has a seal of approval from PCI-DSS which stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security System. Before any company can be given such approval, they have to be properly assessed and proven to be following the terms provided by PCI-DSS. A company given this seal means that the online store has complied with the policies and standards required to be called a fit website for customer consumption. Customers can then be assured that all transactions that go through the said website are safe. Now if security was all that was left to why you never wanted to try out online shopping even after seeing such a big rate sale then you can forget about those issues now.

Sales are retail Gods gift from Paris. Well, that's a fancy way of looking at it. Don't deprive yourself of the opportunity to save a few bucks. It's hard enough that you work 8 hours a day. But to limit yourself to certain standards of activities because you're afraid to take a risk might just be the biggest risk of all.

A statement bag for a change

My ex-boyfriend got me a bag for our 10th monthsary. I know it's a bit tacky celebrating months together and all but we felt it was important to make each other feel loved as often as we could.  I guess it was like telling each other we weren't confident we'd reach an anniversary to celebrate because a few days before our so-called year of success, we broke up. *Goes to a corner and sobs* ---- Over it. Anyway, It's not cause I'm bitter that I got a new bag. It was more of just like making a fresh start and besides the zipper was falling apart already anyway. I bough a bag from an online shop called Lazada. I was surprised to see that they were selling quite a number of branded bags. I was aiming for a Jansport bag and since they had one on sale, it just seemed logical to order then and there. I didn't have the time to go to the mall anyway since my ex boyfriend normally served as my transportation going everywhere. I wanted a solid color backpack in red but they only had one in penelope purple. Yup, that's what it's called. I didn't even make that up. It was 20% cheaper so I couldn't resist not buying it. I was too scared that the bag I had then would fall apart while I was in school also so I opted to get it despite not liking the color. It was my first time paying with the cash on delivery method which I didn't even have to choose in the first place. I had my pop's card with me but curiosity got the best of me so I tried it out. It was pretty cool. I got my bag two days after and I paid for it when the delivery guy got to the house. Well, my mom did. I was in school when it was delivered. I love the feeling of using something brand new so I was super happy to get a hold of it when I got home.  

Since I go to college with my ex-boyfriend, he eventually saw that I wasn't using the bag he gave me. Our common friend told me he got a bit ticked off because it was an uneccessary gesture. But then I just explained my side and said it was already broken so it's not like I had a choice. I don't know until now if I genuinely just wanted a new bag to replace my old one because of its condition or just because I wanted to make a statement that I didn't need my ex-boyfriend or any of the stuff he gave for that matter. It pisses me off how relationships can just easily end. I mean, what's the point of investing so much just to find out at the end that it wasn't going to last? Talk about a tortured soul of a teenager. Life has a weird way of making people learn.

Lazada: The Philippines' largest consignment online store

You can always count on online stores to save you from so much tragic shopping.Traffic. THERE IS LITERALLY TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE. And if you were born and raised in the city, you would know that it doesn't get any better through time. It's either you try to figure out your way in or you rot at home not amounting to anything. Good thing online shopping came to our rescue. Damsels in distress and even the supposed knight and shining armors were given a reason to stay home. A lot of reasons.

The best way to shop today given the time constraints and the poverty in the city is by maximizing your smartphones and computers at home. If you though accomplishing your homeworks for students and reports for the employed were all there was to gadgets these days, then you have not spent your penny well or to its fullest. Online shopping has become so useful that all leading brands have tried to commit to this type of selling as well. Some make their very own websites exclusively dedicated to their brand while others sign up to online consignment stores that carry their products on their behalf. No matter what the method is, it is apparent how influential online shopping has been over the years whether it is publicized well or not.

Lazada, one of the biggest if not the biggest online consignment stores in the Philippines today is enough proof to justify my claims. Why? Because in less than a year, it has successfully marketed its website without a dent in the bank. It sells items worth millions monthly and has shown no signs of slowing down since. You know how some horses get excited in the track the first few seconds just after the gun was fired? Well, let's just say Lazada allowed its rider to fly towards the finish line with no hesitation and didn't even bother giving it a rope attached to the horse to hold on to. It was a risk that obviously paid off. Its basic promo of good service in addition to affordable products made Lazada more than just an online shopping website. It became the online shopping mall.

Its good service kickstarts with a very user-friendly interface that any first-timer would not have a hard time of making use of. The products are distributed according to usage in thirteen categories. Each item come with detailed information and high definition photos shot at necessary angles. All photos may also be zoomed to the preference of the buyer. Deliveries take up to one week at the most depending on the location of the delivery. Items or and single receipt purchase worth P1000 and above are delivered for free nationwide. A week period for return is given to all buyers to allow buyers to test their products. Installments are also accepted depending on the mode of payment chosen by the buyer. These are just some of the impressive services.
