A new beginning

My husband and I plus my two children whom we fondly call thing 1 and thing 2 went to Nuvali, a revolutionary, eco-friendly place in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

We went there to supposedly scout around for house and lot prices. However, because of the lush environment, sustainable eco-friendly developments and safe haven it offered to my children, we decided to purchase a lot right then and there, right before leaving.

Now, I can say that I am a proud homeowner – or lot owner, at least. This is my very first purchase that has value since most of the time I just buy trinkets in the form of faux accessories, and clothes.

Though I am beaming with happiness, there is also a part of me that’s sad – because I know that today marks the day of frugality and practicality. I need to be mindful of my expenses since purchasing a real estate is no laughing matter. Being a fashionista + a mom with a third world budget just doesn’t match so I have to find a way to make sure that I don’t sacrifice any of my two personas.

Thus, I’m creating this blog because I know that I can no longer buy things at whim. Browsing at beautiful clothes and stunning accessories now define my life. And living vicariously through others takes on a whole new meaning as I ogle and salivate at the marvels that I find online.

This way, even if I don’t have money to burn, I wouldn’t feel outdated J

Welcome to my life.
