The Season of Giving is here and if you are still thinking of gifts for friends or family, then I've got the perfect solution for you. Not only will it ease the stress of going to the store and picking out a present on the spot, but will also help you save on cost: Groupon Coupons!

Now, if you are like me, you'd also want to save yourself the effort and just do the picking of gifts to buy at the comfort of your own home. I've been doing this a lot lately, especially since traffic going to the malls is horrendous this time of the year. 

With discounted Groupon coupons, you'll have so much savings you can even throw in a few items for yourself in that shopping cart!

Like most women, I gravitate towards cosmetics and accessories. And some of the most popular brands that has great deals on Groupon include Claire's, one of the biggest accessory brands in the US with a store in almost all malls in the country. You can get coupons for free shipping, 50% discount on online exclusives, and handbags that start from $5!

Then there's Tarte Cosmetics, a cosmetics company that uses natural ingredients in their products. One of their popular items is the easy-to-apply cheek stain that comes in gel form. Some of Tarte Cosmetics cost-saving coupons on Groupon include a free gift for any order, a further 50% off on sale items, and free shipping even to Canada!

These are just two of the many brands you can find on the Groupon site. So, if you want to shop hassle-free and save money at the same time, get your Groupon coupon today!

This is a late post. But as they say, better late than never!

For the second time this year, I was lucky enough to get invited to the Blogapalooza. I have been going to the event since  2013, or was it 2014? Anyway, I was excited when I got the invite for so many reasons.

First, I will be forced to write a new blog post, which will keep my blog active. Nothing like being duty-bound to have new content on your site, eh?

Second, I will get to spend some time with my fellow blogger and friend, Hits and Mrs. Ever since she changed careers and left me at our old jobs, I haven't seen her. It will be nice to catch up with some gossip and political stuff (God knows I have so little to share in the department, but I'm willing to listen to other people).

Third, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and deny that I'm looking forward to the freebies I will be getting. It doesn't really matter if it's a pen or notepad, I just like to hoard freebies and give them away to friends and family.




Fourth, I feel like it's a tradition now. I've been going every year since 2013 or 2014 and I'd be sad to miss one.

Last, it's a great chance to meet other bloggers, although, I'm really too shy to just exchange information with some other bloggers. I probably should try, though.

So, how did the event go?

Well, to start with, the venue--Novotel in Araneta Center, Cubao--is convenient for me since I live in Quezon City. I was expecting it to be in one of the function rooms like previous events. But I was surprised that it was an outdoor setting, beside the hotel's swimming pool.




Don't get me wrong it was a nice place, but it was too hot for an outdoor event. I didn't even linger in some sponsor booths because the sun was simply scalding! I was there from about 11 am to 1 pm. I could've stayed longer if it wasn't so hot!

There was an air-conditioned tent though, which was reserved for talks from the sponsors. It was a welcome reprieve to be in there from time to time, but it's really bad for my migraine. It's one of my triggers. So, I had to remember to keep it to a minimum.




One of the things I noticed is that the number of sponsors are dwindling. I think it was an improvement from the earlier Blogapalooza event, the one in Centris. But comparing to previous years, it certainly has dwindled.






There were the usual sponsors like Victoria Court, Chemworld Fragrance Factory, Skin Station, Tag, and even Krispy Kreme came back! But there were new players as well, including ShapeCloud, Pangalan.com, GoMoto, MyCure, and My Marianas PH.








Going to this stint alone without my blogger-in-crime, Dompy, was a bit daunting. But I put on my go-get-'em attitude and played the many games the sponsors offered. Some I won prizes, some I lost, but I had fun all the same. And despite the heat.

I didn't take a picture of the loot I've gotten during the event, but I thank all the sponsors. I hope to see a bigger, more exciting, and COOLER Blogapalooza next year!
