Whether you have already finished your list or are still contemplating it, consider the following points intended to help you keep your style resolve while taking into consideration today's economic reality.
- Love your own: There's no better time to buy Filipino products than today. Not only is it a way of showing love for our country, spending locally can minimize the effect of global recession in our country. Need a guide? Pick up a copy of 50 Must-Buys in Manila by fashionable jewelry designer Janina Dizon Hoschka and top stylist Michael Salientes.
- Subscribe, subscribe: If you love magazines but sometimes balk at the price, then the best thing would be to subscribe. January is the perfect time to get subscriptions to your favorite magazines—be it Preview or Teen Vogue—as you have a whole year of mags to look forward to at a much cheaper price. This way you can definitely have your cake and eat it too.
- DIY Beauty: Maintaining your mane or having glowing skin doesn't have to cost thousands. Stock up on facial masks and hair treatments from Watsons or The Face Shop, invite your friends, and throw a make-over party ala Clueless. Except this time, you take turns being Tai.
- Bring out the "baul": We know that you have tons of clothes in hiding. It's time you take it out, categorize (in/out), and aim to revamp your wardrobe. How? Instead of "disposable shopping," arrange an exchange with your friends. Remember, your trash may be someone's treasure.
