In a twinkle of an eye, we are already in the fourth month of the new year. Early this year, I set a few personal goals including taking up Pilates, learn swimming and go shopping less often!

Well, I have succeeded in these three goals so far and I’m determined to stick to them right to the end! Well, I still go shopping online for natural beauty goods, eco living clothing and jewelry but it’s just online window shopping for now. The economy hasn’t been that great so I’m cutting back on my shopping expenses now.

I know that the world of beauty is seldom affected by any financial setbacks as women will continue to spend on their looks no matter what. Yep, nothing is going to stop the women who set their minds to lose weight. So in bad times, diet pill business will continue to grow, so will beauty and cosmetics business.

Women are known to go shopping for anything and they enjoy it. The term ‘retail therapy’ is so appropriately used and I can personally identify with it.

Whenever I feel down and out, I like to go shopping and give my mind a break. I can be walking into my favourite stores or doing window shopping just to keep myself updated with what’s current. It’s nothing more than just gaining my sanity and getting out of that rut of a daily routine.

Sometimes I prefer to go shopping online instead of driving to a mall - there’s more liberty to that. Just the other day, I was shopping for a new mineral makeup and since I had heard raving reviews on Jane Iredale’s pure mineral concealer, that was the first item I looked up.

One of the ways to make sure you won’t regret on your shopping purchases is to check out shop reviews before making any purchase.

Shop reviews are useful in finding out the user’s experience with the product. This applies to anything, whether it is a beauty product, a cosmetic brand, a household item, a new digital gadget, a health supplement…etc.

Though it is hard to find the best shopping deals for any category of products, doing your research online and offline can save you from shopping mistakes. This is the reason why many companies are offering free giveaways and sample, as well as free trials so that consumers can try out the products first before buying. This is especially so if health and beauty products. For instance you may go shopping for a colon cleansing product and you aren’t sure if Colonix is better or ColonCleanse. So by reading shop reviews in the web, you can gather some useful tips on what may work for you.

One of the things I enjoy is to go shopping for health and wellness magazines in the local bookstore.

Last weekend, I picked up an informative Natural Health and Organic magazine in Borders and had thoroughly enjoyed the wellness articles and wide range of natural and organic products being reviewed.

Do you know that alot of the make-up and body care products have been linked to allergic reactions, birth defects, and even cancer? When I first came across the term ‘Ugly Cosmetics’, I was initially humored. Then, I realized that this is more becoming a reality as we pile more chemicals on our skin and face. In other words, we need to be real careful when we go shopping for beauty and personal care products too!

It is hard not to go shopping whenever I’m back in Singapore.

I just got back from a short trip today and was recalling my brief shopping experience in Singapore. Compared to previous trip, this was a trip where I restrained myself from shopping in exclusive designer shops. And I was glad I succeeded

Here’s a shopping tip I like to share if you are petite or wear a size 6 or 8. Since we are all aware of the current economic situation, it is natural to think of ways to save when you go shopping. Of course the best way to save is not to go shopping! But if you find yourself needing a new piece of clothing, why not shop in the ‘girls’ department? These days, you can find girls’ sizes (size 11-12, 13- 14) from international brand stores like Zara and if you are petite, it is not hard to fit into the girls’ sizes.

Lately, I find myself very cost conscious when I go shopping and I believe many of you share the same sentiment.

With the current financial situation, we have to be wise when we go shopping for anything - personal items to household stuff. It’s great to know that many departmental stores are offering sales, discounts and rebate vouchers. It somewhat feels good to be ‘rewarded’ when you go shopping for the things you need. The rewards can be in the form of cash or rebate vouchers, it doesn’t matter. What matters most is that you feel that you are getting value our of your shopping purchases. True?

I haven’t gone shopping for a long time for birthday gift ideas. Today, I needed to shop for a belated birthday gift for my sister who lives so far away. After much search in my list of shopping guides, I settled for some unique birthday gift ideas at Uncommongoods.
