BPI Bank yr 2013 Christmas Gifts for Depositors :)

Early this morning my parents and I went to BPI Muntinlupa City branch to open a Maxi Saver account. And guess what the tellers gave me a BPI tote bag and a colorful note pads. :) I was expecting to get an umbrella because that is their giveaways last December 2012 but I think I prefer to receive a bag or anything uncommon this year. 

They are giving bags and note pads only to depositors this December 2013. I think last day will be on Dec 24 or until stock last.

Advance Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy your holiday vacation. :) 


Love Lots ,
Ann :) 

Review: Sophie Martin Paris Handbag Polish

Hi everyone!
Last week I just saw my bags looking old and dull so I decided to try this Sophie Martin Handbag Polish to somehow help in restoring the look of my bags. At first, I think it really doesn't work but the part that says "it protects your bag" really is true.

What Sophie Handbag Polish looks like?

Instructions on how to use can be found on the side part of the packaging

About the packaging and container:

I like the magenta box packaging of Sophie. I expect Sophie to use that because as we all know that it's their trademark color. :) The front part of the packaging consists of the product name. On the sides you can see the product description, instruction on how to use it, the net weight, and the manufacturing company. There is also translation to Indonesian language because as we all know Sophie products are made in Indonesia. When it comes to the container, I can say it so pretty and wise to place the product onto a hard plastic container where the product was sealed. You can also see the manufacturing company and manufacturing date of the product on the bottom part.

The product has creamy to powdery consistency. It is not like other creams that can be easily spread. It is non sticky though.

What this product claims? 

The promise of this product is to shine, protect, and clean all stains from any leather bags and wallets.

Here's how I clean my bags using Sophie handbag polish

What I need:

1. Bag (it best work on leather bags)

2. Cloth (you might want to use cotton or polyester or mixed kind of cloth not silk)

3. Anything that can pick up the product from the container (cosmetic spatula or popsicle stick). I prefer not to use my finger in picking up the product.

4. Sophie Handbag Polish

First thing I do is use the spatula or popsicle stick to get the product from the container. I refrain from using my fingers because it will be messy and may cause irritation on my hands. I spread thin layer of the product all over the bag and the handle. Then I let the product stay on the bag for 3 - 5 minutes before swiping it with clean cloth (I usually use cotton cloth). You can say it is effective when you see all the dirt and stains on the cloth leaving your bag shiny and looking new. :)

As of now, I think this is a budget-friendly and easiest way of cleaning your leather bags or any leather materials  since I haven't tried any cleaning product for leather products before I encountered this Handbag Polish. I don't think it will really make your bag shiny but the part that it should clean and remove stains on your bag is definitely true.

Maybe if you find time, you can try this product and tell me about it. :)

Thanks!

Stay happy and healthy! :)
