Semi shopping on a Sunday

Have you ever walked out of a Watson's store with nothing in your hand?

I doubt.

This is what always happens to me whenever I'm there. I go because I need to buy something and I do end up getting it. But I also end up getting a bunch of other stuff "just because". Tonight was no exception.

I'm not going to disclose everything that went into my basket. Only the ones that are worth sharing here.

Let's start with ...

yes, cottonballs

Who doesn't need them? I use them all the time to remove make up and nail polish. I prefer cotton balls over the traditional type which you need to "tear off". The balls are so much more convenient to use.

The first container cost me a little over Php 40.00 (USD .90)

The second one? ONE PESO. It's an ongoing promo. I'm just not sure if all branches have it.

(We went to the one in 1800 in Eastwood)

This small kit contains : hand sanitizer, toilet seat sanitizer, citronella insect repellant spray, a pack of tissues and a boo boo strip (aka Band Aid). I got this for Anissa to keep inside her school bag at all times. Very handy! The pouch also comes in black. Php 145 (a little over USD 3.00)

I've always been a sucker for drugstore cosmetic brands

Although my favorite brand is NYX, it's not that easy to find here. Watson's carries ELF, including their Studio Line. I got the Eyelid Primer and the Dual Mascara (regular and waterproof in one tube). Each costs Php 129.95 (USD 3.00)

Cutesie nail polishes and nail glitters for the girls

These Japanese (or are they Korean?)-made nail products cost less than Php 100 each so it's pretty hard to say no to my girls whenever they go nuts and dump them in the basket

Lastly, not from Watson's but from their stall inside the Eastwood Mall

Our favorite thing to buy from Royce

If Neal and I share this with the girls, we can finish it all off in half an hour tops

I think we need to get the bigger box next time. This one costs Php 540 (USD 12.00 something)

That's it for this weekend.

Happy Father's Day again to all the wonderful fathers out there!

I was this close!

When my cousin, Marla and I agreed that we would meet up for lunch today at Angel's Kitchen in Greenhills, I had no idea that the Konbini Store (which sells the famous Royce Chocolates) was right next door! I remember being told that it was along Annapolis St., not Connecticut. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it upon parking my car outside.

After our lunch, Marla and I went over to Konbini. She to grab packs of Japanse pasta sauce which son Gabbie loves and I to snag a box of Royce's Chocolate-covered potato chips. Guess what??? They were out of stock! The store had everything except the one thing I really wanted. Even if I've tried a few of their other variants before, the chips were what I really really wanted to take home.

I was so disappointed I didn't even feel like taking photos of the other chocolates in their freezer to post here. I was told that their deliveries come in once a week on Wednesdays (that was just yesterday!). Does that mean I need to be there early next Wednesday to make sure I'm first in line???

Grrrr.....
