If you need a breather from planning your wedding, one way to de-stress is to reward yourself with a feel-good item (or two) for the holidays--and these gifts can come in handy as you plan for the big day. Below are just some suggestions for your wish list:
L'Oreal Color Riche Nutrition Lipstick
With your packed schedule as you plan your wedding--what with the meetings with your suppliers, gown fittings, get-togethers with your girlfriends, and your romantic dates with your husband-to-be--you have to master the art of getting ready in a snap. Getting dolled up is a cinch with L'Oreal Paris' new line of lipsticks--the Color Riche Nutrition is the ultimate beauty item on days that you need a quick pick-me-upper. The lipstick--which comes in eight great shades--glides on to give a pretty, glossy finish and keeps your lips moisturized, too.
Embossed Picture Frame from Regalong Pambahay, PhP385
To keep you inspired as you plan your wedding, surround yourself with photos of things that make you happy. Have these beautiful images on display--and it helps if you put them in pretty frames, too. Regalong Pambahay's embossed picture frames bring inspiration as they are emblazoned with words that state the important things in life: Family, Friends, Dreams, and Memories.
Coco Chanel: The Legend and The Life by Justine Picardi from Fully Booked, PhP1,599
Even a multitasking bride like you needs to rest--and this season, you can curl up with a good book to melt the stress away. If you want to veer away from the chicklit route but you still want to keep things girly, Coco Chanel: The Legend and Life is a good read. A biography, the book narrates the early years of Gabrielle Chanel and how she became one of fashion's most revered icons as Coco Chanel. Let one classy and strong woman be your beacon as you deal with life's surprises--in style, of course.
Cuisinart 4-Cup Coffeemaker from True Value, PhP2,990
If you're the type who needs a cup of joe in the morning to jump start your busy day, you might want to make things easier (and coffee yummier) with the Cuisinart 4-Cup Coffeemaker. This particular model has a stainless steel carafe, which keeps your beverage from cooling down too fast. You'll find that this coffeemaker also doesn't take a lot of counterspace, proving that good things do come in small packages.
Elfa Customized Cabinets from Howards Storage World
If you've dealt with a lot of nothing-to-wear mornings, you might need to go shopping--for storage, that is. (Maybe it's not an issue of not having enough clothes, but more of an issue of a disorganized space.) To put some order in your closet (you'll soon be sharing yours with your husband-to-be), invest in customizable cabinets that allow you to keep your clothes in neat rows or piles. Cabinets from Elfa are simple and functional, and they're ideal for maximizing small spaces. The cabinets are flexible and can be easily redesigned to accommodate your ever-growing wardrobe.
