This is another unconventional #MoneyBliss post. My journey into building a basic “capsule” wardrobe in consonance with minimalism has led me to other unexpected sub-paths such as ethical fashion and sustainability. My work-in-progress basic wardrobe has so far benefited me in the following ways: 1. I have a 360 view of all the things I…… Continue reading How I Care for the Items in My Closet
As you may have read on my previous post, I am in the process of curating my personal capsule wardrobe. At this moment, I’m still in that “exhilarating” stage. I’ve scaled down the number of clothes in my closet. It’s probably the smallest size I had ever since I started earning my own money. So…… Continue reading Money Tips in Building a Capsule Wardrobe
For the kids’ last school break hurrah, we decided to take them all on an out of town trip. We wanted to gift Claret the experience of flying in an airplane for her fifth birthday since she’s making us kulit about wanting to ride an airplane. We chose Bohol for our first family travel destination.…… Continue reading Family Travel with Three Children Under Seven
Vlogs on YouTube and Pinterest are keeping me up all night. I am currently drawn into capsule wardrobes, basic, classic, essential and timeless pieces of clothing. For the first time in my thirty-four years, I think I’m ready to dramatically curve my shopping habits for clothes, especially online. Along with the learning of the basics…… Continue reading Capsule Wardrobe Goals | Personal Style Discovery
The second item in my “Rich Legacy for Kids” series is minimalism and sustainable living. I would like to raise my children knowing that quantity does not equate success, wealth or happiness. They don’t need a lot. I’d like them to realize early that they can do more with less and be beautiful/handsome in simplicity.…… Continue reading My Top Five: Rich Legacy for the Kids (Lifestyle)
Legacy may be too “big” a word to use in this post but I think I’ll stick with it. Over the weekend, I backed-up all our photos taken from my phone over the last three years. Inevitably, I had a trip down the memory lane. My children have grown so fast, I couldn’t really grasp…… Continue reading My Top Five: Rich Legacy for the Kids (Experience over Material Stuff)
For 2018, the annual dividend rate for MP2 savings is set at 8.11 percent! Wow! That’s a good return, right? Especially as compared to the meager interest offered by our usual savings and time deposit accounts. In this post, allow me to highlight the features of Modified Pag-IBIG II (MP2) by sharing with you all…… Continue reading #MoneyBliss : Pag-IBIG Fund’s MP2 Savings Program FAQs
I missed my blog!!! I terribly do! It’s not that I didn’t have anything to share but I didn’t have enough juice to beat after working all day. This closing/audit season is one for the books: ONE HELLUV OF A RIDE! Thankfully, “war” (on numbers and disclosures) is over and we’ve finally entered the endgame.…… Continue reading Better Days Ahead (Two Powerful Scriptures that Sustain Me)
Since the vacation started, I found it harder to limit my kids’ use of their gadgets. Just last year, I did my list on how to enforce gadget discipline on my kids. However, I think I needed to revise them as some do not or cannot be applied anymore today; the eye-protection rule, one-battery-life a…… Continue reading Limiting Kids’ Time on Gadgets
ConfessionI grew up not comfortable in confessing my sins to other “appointed” people, aka priests. To be honest, all my confessions were only because I needed to – for first communion, confirmation, and marriage. There were times that I felt like I wanted to and needed to confess my sins but fear and shame always…… Continue reading My 2019 Lenten Reflections
