Ukay-ukay in Olivares Tagaytay

It was my mom's birthday after our clan reunion. We did not have a special celebration for it unlike last year we went to my Tito's resort for a swim. We just had spaghetti and ice cream at my lola's house in Batangas. After lunch we decided to go back home in Cavite. My mom said to go to Tagaytay path instead of South Super Highway. She told us we will visit Olivares in Tagaytay to dig clothes in ukay-ukay hehehe. On our way we passed through Fantasy Island where my dad asked us if we want to take picture. However we changed our mind because as soon as we stopped all vendors crowded our van like a superstar being followed by lots of fan. Since it is a Sunday it is a little traffic going to Tagaytay but after an hour or so we reached our destination, Olivares Plaza in Tagaytay.

There are lots of ukay-ukay stores there. We just entered one store and after almost an hour of digging I was able to buy 2 denim pants for my little boy for only P300, one denim is branded (Nautica), a P75 maong pants and a corduroy jacket for P250. You really need to have patience if you are going to go to an ukay. You will be able to find really good stuff if you spend time digging. I remember my mom got a blue Montagut blouse, almost new, for only P50. We are planning to go back there maybe two weeks from now and I will try to dig for a good blouse for me. 

Nurses Uniform in Style

Since I have two kids, a one and five year old, we always visit their pedia for check up. I am thankful that the nurses on duty every time we made a visit have good customer service. They have big smile on their faces and shows willingness to help. It is nice to see those nurses wearing different nursing scrubs. However, I noticed that some of them have old uniform, the color is already faded. I guess the clinic should give them new clothes for free.

They can check out Blue Sky for a cheap scrub yet in style. I have seen the design that they offer and they look very elegant. What also excites me is they offer scrub that kids can wear so they can play or feel that they are nurse too. I would like to get those scrubs for my kids.

This is really cute.

Sweaters

It is raining for two days now because of the storm. The temperature is getting colder and I am thinking of getting a new sweater. I just give birth a week ago and I was told that I should wear clothing that can protect me from cold. I am browsing the web and I saw beautiful sweaters from Ugly Sweaters. Sounds funny, I am not sure why them name it Ugly Sweaters even their designs are very unique and adorable. I would to buy one of those for my two kids and my husband as well.

Since it is already 7th month of the year I think it is also a good idea now to get one of those Ugly Christmas Sweaters. It will be a good gift for your friends and family. Or if you are looking for a gift for men you can also check out their Mens Ugly Sweater. I am sure your gift will be appreciated.

I like this design; I hope they have a size that would fit my little girl.

Their price is very affordable. If you would like get one or see more of their designs visit their website now at Ugly Sweaters. You will not have a problem choosing because they have different categories to choose from.
