Samsonite Red - The Perfect Bag for Your Everyday Needs

Samsonite Red - The Perfect Bag for Your Everyday Needs

Do you have an everyday bag? I do.

A lot of the time, I take the exact same bag with me practically everywhere. I take it to coffee shops when I work. I take it with me when I go grocery shopping. I even take it out when going out for drinks at night. Unfortunately, my everyday bags change every few months because they end up tattered, fraying and broken before long - to the point where they are no longer resuscitate-able. :(

It gets pretty tiring to have to do this every few months, especially when my everyday bag dies on me before I've gotten a new one at the ready to replace it.

Well, I think I just found the perfect bag for my everyday needs in Samsonite Red.

Samsonite Red - The Perfect Bag for Your Everyday Needs

One thing I love about Samsonite Red is the fact that it is incredibly lightweight, yet still has enough compartments and pockets to hold all of my daily necessities in it.

It isn't too big or too small, either, so I won't lose stuff in it all the time nor will I have to cram everything in it. It is also durable and strong, so I can bring it with me even when it rains. The best part, though, is that I can bring my laptop with me everywhere - and with my current schedule, that's a real godsend!

It's stylish enough to be worn in outfit shots, too. Hihi.

“We wanted to introduce a line that was stylish and youthful, without taking anything away from the brand’s reliability and functionality — all in one sleek, well-designed package,” explains Ciely Buenviaje, Country Head of Samsonite Philippines, Inc.

Samsonite Red is a collection that simplifies the process of finding a replacement for that trusty old backpack or tote, by giving you a selection of options that range from minimalist to quirky, depending on your needs and personality.

“Diversity is essential to this collection. Samsonite understands that an ‘everyday bag’ isn’t a one size fits all concept—it will be defined by your personal aesthetic, your needs and your way of life.”

Here's to hoping my parents leave one under the tree for me this Christmas. :p

Robinsons Red Hot Sale - Get the Best Deals for Everyone!

I'll be honest: I'm not very picky when it comes to sales. I see a sale, and I automatically just go for it. However, there is something absolutely comforting and awesome when an entire mall goes on sale.

So, when I heard about the Robinsons Red Hot Sale going on at Robinsons Malls this month; I jumped at the chance to shop til I dropped… even though it meant heading all the way to the North for it. No regrets! RAWR!

The Robinsons Red Hot Sale is happening at Robinsons Malls from August 1 to 31

What I love the most about the Red Hot Sale is that I have free reign over which stores I want to visit. In other words, I get to cater to my own needs, as well as to the needs of the people that I love the most.

Here are the best finds that I came across during my last visit to Robinsons Malls:

Dolls at Toys 'R' Us

Since I am the mom of a 4-year-old daughter, this really shouldn't come as a surprise. Although I will never understand my daughter's fascination with 'weird' dolls like Bratzillas and Moxie Girlz, who am I to deprive her of what she wants when they're at 50% off? What a steal!

Having a daughter didn't stop me from going through the boys' section to feed my geeky heart, either. While I didn't buy anything here, I still jumped in excitement when I saw Transformers figures on sale:

And check out this uber cool Iron Man mask! The geekery was almost too much for me to handle!!!

Skin Care Items at The Body Shop

For my mom - the skin care and beauty addict - I visited The Body Shop. Best. Decision. Ever. Why? Coz most of their items are at Buy 1 Get 1 Free, which means that I ended up getting something for myself for every item that I got my mom. Score!

You haven't lived 'til you've tried these salt scrubs.

Or smelled this perfume.

I was a lil tempted to buy my sibling some makeup coz it was on Buy 1 Get 1 Free, as well.

This body butter that I used to swear by is available at 40% off, as well. I have to say: The Body Shop is the shop that I had the hardest time tearing myself away from. I actually found myself thinking back into the recesses of my bathroom cabinet to figure out if I would need to restock anything within the next 12 months. Might as well do it now while everything's a steal, right? :p

Clothes at G2000

For myself and my favorite guy in the world, I went nuts at G2000. I originally entered the store because literally the whole store is on sale - mostly at 50% off pa. Plus, I saw these beautiful dresses on display and God knows I need to dress a lil older and more effeminate.

I was very happy to see a bit later on that they weren't just about dresses and formal clothes, though. In fact, G2000 has some great casual finds available and I ended up stocking up on different colored shorts to mix and match with my favorite closet basics instead of going for the dresses. Whoops!

I also threw in a pair of pants and a couple of shirts for my guy coz hello! SALE! (I really don't think I need more of a reason than that.)

I only had a very limited time to go around the mall and check out the Red Hot Sale, but I promise you: I will definitely be back to shop some more next week. Will share more finds with you then! :)
