The Little Dapitan at Ayala Malls Cloverleaf

Dapitan Arcade has been one of my go-to places whenever I need new decors or accents for the house or new baskets and crates for my shelves in Common Room. It is a shopping haven! I love shopping at Dapitan Arcade because there's a lot of options and the prices are very pocket-friendly too! Now that Christmas traffic is upon us, going to Dapitan Arcade can be a feat!

Fret not! Ayala Malls Cloverleaf is bringing Dapitan Arcade closer to you with the Little Dapitan! A bazaar featuring the best of Dapitan Arcade - from Christmas decors, home accents and decors, local handicrafts made by local artisans and more. The Little Dapitan will be open starting this October until December! What I like about it is, it's right beside Cloverleaf! You can park in the mall or park right outside it (open parking). And when you're done shopping, you can go back to the mall to shop more, watch a movie or eat at the many varieties of restaurants.
Little Dapitan at Cloverleaf is right outside the mall. Exit where Uniqlo store is.
It is in a open, warehouse-like venue. It is well-lit, the aisles are wide enough and it was easy to go around.
Can you guess what I bought? I went around three times before deciding on what to buy!
A place for you to take your photos! I love the rattan lamps!

I like that there's only about 20 stalls more or less. There's not much of repeating/redundant products which makes shopping so much easier. Better for the sellers too! I'm the type of shopper who gets overwhelmed or anxious when there's a lot of choices that I ended up not buying anything! Are you like that too?
Plastic flowers and plants for those who has black thumb like me! Haha!

There's a lot of selection for Christmas decors too! I honestly cannot decide on what to get. But here are a few that caught my eye.
This is where I got something for our house!
There's a stall that sells room spray, linen spray, hand soaps, soy candles and more that is perfect for gifting this Christmas! You can mix and match then put it a wooden box (sold separately)! I love their design labels and the scents are pretty good too!

If you are looking for crates, there's a stall selling crates in different sizes!
This stall has this gold decors that can be used for lighting or as is. They have cupcake towers and more! They also do customized works!
 There's also a wide selection of bags and wallets. They make great gifts for your officemates, staff and friends!
I also saw these super cute pots for your cactus or succulents! They are hand painted. So pretty, right?

So what did I get? Since I cannot decide on what Christmas decors I want for our home, I just bought what I really needed. I hoarded these wire baskets! I need it for my shelves in Common Room (that's 4, soon to be 5 branches) hence, the quantity! I was able to get a good price because I got a lot! I actually need to go back and buy some more!
The only Christmas decor I bought was this pair of banana-leaf like white Christmas tree! It was love at first sight so I got it na! :)

Thank you Spark It for the invite! I haven't been out on an event in so long. I also haven't written for a long while now! I enjoyed shopping and I will definitely go back for more!

Go #TeamMOM! Celebrating 10 Years of Expo Mom!

Sticking to a fitness routine or activity isn't one of my forte. I've fallen off and joined the diet bandwagon so many times and it wasn't until last year when an FB chat turned into a pilates meet-up the next day and has blossomed into so much more than just getting fit together.
Meet my #TeamMom, my pilates-mates: Jackie, Chessy and Michelle!

Motherhood isn't easy. There are challenges along the way, there's ups and downs, there's laughter, I think I've experienced the most emotions when I became a mom. When I gave birth to Y, I was the first to become a mom among my friends. I didn't have a mommy support group and it wasn't until I started blogging and tweeting that I met my online-turned-into-real-life friends and support group. 

Our FB chat is more than just conversation about pilates, it's about motherhood, shopping, yaya problems and anything under the sun and there's totally no judgement. We are each other's inspiration and motivation. If it isn't for these moms, I don't think I wouldn't have what it takes to maintain pilates. Seriously! I don't live in the same area as them and the pilates studio, so it's really an effort on my part but it's really all worth it. You can read our story here: http://mommymundo.com/teammom-the-pilates-moms/!
OneLife Studio is our happy place!
You can also watch our video here! Pasensya na, magulo anak ko hahaha! It doesn't get more real than this. LOL!

Expo Mom celebrates its tenth year this 2017, the longest running of its kind. This year Expo Mom pay tribute to #TeamMoms that have served as a lifeline for mothers all over the Philippines. First leg is happening on May 5-7 at the Glorietta Activity Center. Bring your #TeamMom, have a mommy day-off and shop together with over than 80 booths of mom, baby and kid-focused products. There will be onstage talks and demos too! We'll be on stage around 2:15PM! Hope to see you there!
Every mother has a #TeamMom behind her – a group of moms who have come together, either through shared interest or common history, to savor every exciting twist and turn of their mommyhood journey. #TeamMom encourages her to take advantage of her strengths and helps her work through her weaknesses. #TeamMom knows when she needs to let her hair down and laugh at everyday foibles. #TeamMom also knows when a moment calls for an all-out cry or a gentle pat in the back. Above all, #TeamMom cheers her through every moment and milestone, whether big or small. 

The Expo Mom 2017 #TeamMom event this May is co-presented by Belo Baby, PLDT Home, Sun Life Financial, Caltrate and Ponstan. Major sponsors including Jeron Travel, Motts, Pampers, The Picture Company, and supported by Baby Zone, Electrolux, and Pediapharma; with Working Mom, Newlyweds@Work, and Community Connect as media sponsors, Glorietta, Ayala Malls as venue sponsor, and Creative Juice Communications as logistics partner. 

I Am SM Woman: Confident, Exceptional, Strong, and Driven

The women of today are unlike before, women today have their own businesses and careers, they take charge of their lives, they are confident, exceptional, strong, and driven and all of these characteristics are what a SM Woman is made of.
Last June, SM Woman launched its "I Am SM Woman" campaign which aims to celebrate womanhood in all its forms with a 2-day event. SM Makati's third floor was transformed into a one giant runway that showcased its newest lines and collections. 

The "I Am SM Woman" campaign celebrates the Confident, Exceptional, Strong and Driven Women. 
I have been a fan and loyal shopper of SM Woman for the longest time. Every time I visit any SM Department Store, I have to visit the SM Woman section and I never leave empty handed. I got my favorite culottes from them and the prices are really pocket friendly which is really important for a budget-conscious momma like me! SM Woman currently houses nine categories (Wow!) -- SM Woman Career, SM Woman Fashion, SM Woman Prima, SM Woman Denim/Casuals, SM Woman Sleep and Lounge, SM Woman Active, Coco Cabana by SM Woman, Gigi Amore by SM Woman and SM Woman Plus. From day to night, every season and every occasion, SM Woman got it all for you!
Let me show you the culottes I got from SM Woman. I have two pairs, one is black and the other one was black. People have been noticing my culottes and complimenting them asking me where I got it and they get surprised when I say it's from SM Woman.
I live in culottes nowadays! They're so comfy and can take you from day to night!
SM Woman has become a brand itself. It is now a fashion brand that seeks to make stylish clothes more accessible to every woman. From classic designs to the trendiest of the trend, SM Woman spared no expense at redefining an all-new style with a flight of exciting and fresh offerings.
