Beauty Minimalism: Beabi Perfume Refillable Spray

My bag is heavy.  Its a fact.
 
I need to unload some stuff.  I started with my kikay kit. 
 
I dont like lugging big bottles of colognes or the perfume crystal bottles which could spill inside my bag.  I started using refillable sprays from Watsons.  But during trasfer, the product spills.  What a waste!
 
I read about Travalo from some blogs.  Its not within my budget.
 
I am a fan of Beabi.  I always drop by at their branch everytime I'm in Manila.  While browsing their website, I saw their Perfume Refillable Spray.  But this is always out of stock.

Finally, they have some stocks at Beabi Mall of Asia Branch.

Beabi Perfume Refillable Spray has a pump action easy fill system.  Its easy to refill from the perfume or cologne bottle without spills or require a funnel.  There is also a fill level indicator window to tell when its time to refill.

The spray has a lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum body with a 5ml capacity.  It comes in silver and gold.

Fino Leatherware on ANC

I googled Fino Leatherware and I came into this YouTube clip.  It was nice to know the humble beginnings of my favorite brand.

OC Must Have: Dymo Embossing Labelmaker

I saw these labels from the stuff of my gradeschool classmates before.  I thought it was made from an imported and expensive gadget.

I was at National Bookstore when I saw this gadget which looked like a Star Trek pistol.  I requested for the item to have a closer look.  This was the "label gadget"!

It came in several models and its refillable.  Refill comes in black and red.

I've been looking for this.  I use generic containers for coffee, sugar, creamer and etc.  I used a purple permanent marker to label them.  But they gradually wash off.  I'm glad I found this!

I chose this model because its pink!  Actually its the cheapest one too. 

Dymo Embossing Labelmaker is one of my OC must have!

Memories at Bob's Pastry Shop

When I think of Bob's, "Suggestion" (Bob's famous burger with side dish of chicken macaroni salad and a glass of soda or iced tea) and Sate Babe comes to my mind.

I'm boring.  I always eat the same order everytime at the restaurant.

Then LU received 2 boxes of Bob's Pastry Shop piaya as a gift. Piaya is flour flakes with mascovado filling and a local Bacolod delicacy. It was so yummy that we both finished the boxes that midnight.

I was surprised because I got overdosed with piaya growing up that I dont eat them anymore.  But the piaya from Bob's Pastry Shop was so thin and was not too sweet.  I couldnt help myself.  I vowed that I will get more when I get back to Bacolod.

I was always in a hurry during my business Bacolod trips that I wasnt able able to drop by at Bob's.

Then recently I was forced to take an earlier fastcraft trip without my coffee dose and breakfast.  The only thought in my mind was breakfast at Bob's.

While ordering my 5 boxes of piaya and brewed coffee, I saw their staff heating some buttered bread.  It looked so enticing that I also placed my order for these.  It was called Pan de Suelo and they just charge extra for the butter.

Waiting for my order, I was observing their patrons.  One was even dipping her biscotti on the coffee.  Surrounded with good food, childhood memories at Bob's came rushing in. 

I was surprised when I received my Pan de Suelo order.  The butter had herbs and spices.  I'm hooked!  

It was another happy moment at Bob's.

Branches that I frequently visit:
