This year's freebies + prizes!

Well, aside from joining giveaways online, I also love participating in samples and surveys. I only have two of them this year, but still thankful for getting it for free.

Just like this Drypers Wee Wee Dry free sample packs from Drypers which my daughter tried.


I also received an Athena gift pack I won from Athena's Anniversary Gift-Away Promo on Facebook.


And a $15 credit to Yes Teacher Crafts on Etsy which I won from a giveaway hosted by Soleil Selene.


I was also qualified to receive a token for participating in Good Skin Lab's survey and was supposed to get a 1ml packet of Tri-Aktiline. However, I wasn't able to get my hands on them because I didn't get a chance to claim it anymore.

I also have another unclaimed prize aside from the TinyPrints GC that I've won a few months ago, that will be 2 Eco Bags from Healthy Options which I also failed to claim on their branch.

Nevertheless, I would like to thank all the generous sponsors of these sample products and, of course, the prizes I have won this year. 'Til next year! And crossing my fingers for a better one.

Happy Holidays!

Won an Eco Bag and PayPal Cash!

June this year, I become one of the lucky winners of Farm Girl Blogger's giveaway. I've got an Eco Bag which has JB on it, the name of Zoan's son. This was Jb's souvenir for his guests on his 4th birthday held last April.

Aside from the eco bag, I also got $5 on my PayPal from Zoan as well.


Not only that, I recently won $10 PayPal cash from Mommy Rubz. She created a new blog called Wandering Thoughts, and in support of this, she decided to have a mini giveaway wherein there will be three (3) lucky winners who will get $10 each. Luckily, I was one of them!

Thank you so much, Zoan and Mommy Rubz!

Wonderful August for Me & My Little Girl

August is such a wonderful month for me. Aside from that, it is my birth month, I won 3 great prizes for me and my little girl.


$50 Tiny Prints Gift Certificate from Growing My Kids Reviews
I haven't decided yet on what to purchase from their website. There is a lot to choose from; from stationery, notebooks, cards, to photo books. Their site is full of wonderful products!

Baby Bond Couture Nursing Sash from "From Cristin to Mommy"
For the past couple of months, I've been seeing blogs hosting a giveaway for Baby Bond Couture Nursing Sash. As far as I remember it was December of 2010, I was an expectant mom back then when I first joined the blog giveaway of this prize. I got to be honest, I instantly fell in love with it! But luck was not on my side. Then after 8 months, who would've thought that I would finally get to hold a Baby Bond Couture Nursing Sash? Yeah! After joining several giveaways with the same prize, I finally won! Dream fulfilled!

♥♥♥



Sensory Taggie from Timeless Treasures and The Adventures of J-Man and MillerBug
This sensory taggie was sent by Kayte of Timeless Treasures. I won this from The Adventures of J-Man and MillerBug blog. This is so perfect for my daughter and she loves holding and playing with it!


Thank you, everyone, for making my August wonderful!!!

Sigma Beauty - My New Makeup Travel Buddy

Yesterday, I went to the Post Office to pick up my 2nd international giveaway prize. The package was there for almost a month and it was about time to get it or else I cannot claim it anymore.


Here's what I've got from Courtney Clarke of Glamorous Barbie, a Sigma Travel E35 Blending Brush! Woot! Along with the brush, I also got a congratulations card and some brochure about their affiliate program.


I won this 3 months ago and I never imagined that this brush looks really good. And what I like about it is the length, it's about 5 inches long which perfectly fits my travel makeup pouch.

I finally have my travel-buddy now. I don't need to worry about where to put my long and old blending brush anymore because I now have Sigma.

Thank you, Sigma Beauty and Glamorous Barbie!

First International Prize - Look What I've Got!

It paid off!

2 days before I gave birth, I received an email from an international blogger, which is probably one of the best emails I ever got because I won a giveaway! My first international giveaway won!!! Yay!

Valerie of Val's Closet held a New Year's giveaway where she's giving away makeup stuff to the chosen winner. Luckily, it was me! I couldn't believe that I'll get awesome goodies for free.

And here it is, finally!


Victoria's Secret Pink Body Mist in "Pretty & Pure" • Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss in "Melonrageous" • Korres Quince Lip Butter • Stila Custom Color Blush (Self-Adjusting) • Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in "Tattle Tale" • Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara

I picked up the package today at Taguig Post Office. This is actually a whole new experience for me because this is the first time that I claimed something from outside the country. Unlike our local couriers, this shipment took around 3 weeks plus the additional processing time at the Post Office before they sent the notice that it's ready for pickup.

And to my surprise, I tell you I'm really clueless about this, I was required to pay fees! Talk about Custom tax duties and other fees included. I did explain to them that the package was a prize I won from a blog giveaway. I even provided screenshots of my conversation with Valerie for proof. Sadly, they still charged me Php1,350 for everything! OMG, that was too much! But NO, I won't let them spoil my excitement.

I still claimed the package and paid for everything. Comparing the fees versus the amount of the items, it's still worth the price. Because, as far as I know, the Stila Custom Color Blush alone costs around more than a thousand pesos already. So, no regrets in here! Just one happy momma!

Thank you so much, Valerie, for all the makeup goodies you sent! I so loved them all! ♥
