As much as I would love to save all the money that I get, there are instances when I need to spend for my needs.

These needs now include kitten essentials like their food and litter as well as for Moshi, our dog.

But since I have stock up on their food last time around, the things that I bought are mostly for myself. I bought them in preparation for face to face classes.

Shopee

I don't really enjoy shopping at Shopee as much as I used to. But sometimes, this platform is still the better option for shipping fee. Especially for items that weigh heavily. In Lazada, the shipping fee for a 5kg item can reach up to P300, but for Shopee, I can find a shop where the shipping fee is only around P80.

Kitten litter

I have switched from using the sand litter to a wood pellet litter. I found that the smell is not noticeable for this type of litter.

Unfortunately, I am not fond of using the litter with sifter tray. I get disgusted with how their body waste looks with just the pellet. So I went back to just using this litter but in their normal litter box.

Dry Food

Moshi is picky with her dog food so I usually order this since it passed her taste test.

Ceylon cinnamon powder

It is embarrassing to admit, but I bought this as a substitute for metformin. I was looking for a solution to the weight gain due to taking antipsychotics (quetiapine), and I found studies that suggested the effectiveness of metformin. Unfortunately, it is a drug that needs prescription. I have yet to meet up with my psychiatrist again so I can't ask her about it.

I decided to just search for alternatives and found that true cinnamon may also give the same effects. I am not really expecting much but I figured it is better to try.

Of course, I am also changing my lifestyle to include more ohysical activities to counter the weight gain side effect of quetiapine. Thankfully, I have managed to stay in the normal BMI zone despite taking the medication for more than 2 months now.

Shoes and sandals

I bought a flat doll shoes here before and I really liked the quality for its price so I waited for flash sales to buy these items.

Highlighter/bronzer and Lipstick

If face to face starts, I do not want to look haggard. It is sad enough that I gained weight but it will be worse if I do not even exert an effort to look fresh.

This is especially important since I am now in 4th year college. We might do face to face OJT so I want to look well.

Lipstick and Eyeliner

I bought a nude lipstick since my sister mentioned that nude lipstick suit my personality better than a blood red one. Unfortunately, the lipstick was too light so I had to mix it with a red lipstick if I want to use it. Otherwise, I would just look like I am sick.

I do not know why I bought the eyeline since I do not know how to apply it but I guess I just have to try and learn how to use it.

Eyebrow pencil

I actually have an eyebrow pencil but I have used it since my freshman year. I decided it was time to try a new one. I just saw that these are on sale so I bought two.

The one I have right now is thicker than these two and it is black. I bought blacj and grey since I am not sure which one will suit me better.

Lazada

I also buy things from Lazada. Mostly it is because Lazada offers free shipping even on days where there is no big online sale.

Foundation and liquid concelear

In freshman year, I only used powder on my face to freshen uo my look. But now I think that learning how to do light make up will be good for the future. After all, when I become a professional, I would have to look presentable most of the times.

Wide leg pants

I bought two of the same color in different sizes. One is oversized and the other is not fit to me. I bought the oversized one for my daily use. It is comfortable and I like it. The oants that did not fit me is a mistake on my part for listening to the reviews.

The reviews said to order a size bigger since the sizes are big. Guess you can never trust someone else in online shopping. The oversized one is also my trust issue popping up but I liked how the oversized one looks on me so that is okay.

Maybe I will get to use the one that does not fit me right now in the future.

Skinny jeans

I know thag there are people who are already done with their skinny jeans ohase but honestly I am not going to give it up. I like how well skinny jeans look on me and they are comfortable to wear. I also have an easy time pairing skinny jeans with my shirts and blouses.
