It
seems just fair to have my own personal shopping paradise considering how
rarely I get to shop for myself these days. Although, I think it’s just fair to
tell all the moms out there my secret so they can better juggle their
responsibilities as both parents and working mothers without leaving out some
‘me’ time every once in a while.
I
like shopping. No. I love shopping. What girl doesn’t? I can be completely broke
and still daydream about getting everything I want not just me but for the
house and kids as well. So to be able to do just that, I try to finds ways to
make all of what I want work for me without compensating any of my
responsibilities.
Shopping
from online stores does just that for me. Every month, I write down everything
I want to buy for the house. Everyday, I list down what my children need. And
every second of the day, I just can’t help but forecast to myself what I’d like
to get. I mean, that doesn’t make me less of a mom. It just makes me human. So
all the moms out there who feel terrible for still having the time to think
about their personal needs shouldn’t feel so insecure anymore. Human nature
dictates that we can never get enough. And wanting something is completely
different from being materialistic. We can’t help what we want anyway.
For
my kids, I like to buy clothes and toys from local online stores. It keeps my
two daughters’ things unique. Because let’s face it, moms normally buy from the
same store. And as a mom who likes to see my children in one-of-a-kind outfits
with uniquely theirs toys, which just doesn’t work for me. Online shops always
have the best choices. Most of the items I buy online are imported from other
countries and resold here. If not, aspiring retailers personally design them.
Those are the things I look out for.
For
the house, I go for sales. I have to be practical when it comes to things I
know can and will be used by a number of people at a daily basis. And if it’s
something that is expected to eventually wear off, I skip the pricey
collections and go for the basics. And online shops always have that on stock.
For
myself, I keep the things I buy on a minimum. Because at the end of the day, I
need so little for myself when everything else around me is in place. I buy
make up that I know will last for months and I buy key pieces just to give my
wardrobe a little spice. I normally go on a budget but with women’s clothes,
it’s all about finding the right quality of garments. And I can always get that
on a bargain with the right amount of patience.
In
conclusion, I think all the best deals are online and that’s something I stand
by because of my personal experiences. My personal favorite online shop is Lazada Philippines and
that’s saying with no bias. It has a very good selection of items that I can
choose from. I get to buy all of what I listed down above in one purchase and
not worry about how I can afford to pay for it because it has an installment
method available where I can pay up to 2 years. Not only do I get all that I
need in a single visit but I can also get all of it at very manageable terms of
payment.
