I don’t think I have to tell you that part of an expert shopper’s arsenal is a roomy reusable bag–something big enough to stash all your purchases in, yet lightweight and compact for easy keeping. Not only will it help save the environment by minimizing the use of plastic bags, but it’ll also make your life a lot easier by keeping all your precious loot in one place. My Goodie Bag does all that and more!
Hello ladies (and uh, gents)! My name is Leona and I am ShopCrazy’s newest crazy person on board! Just kidding. I’m your new Shopping Editor and while I’m not really nuts, I am crazy about shopping, and I will try my very best to keep you updated on the latest and most fabulous finds in the metro.
But before I start preaching about the newest shopping haunts, a short background: I’m 27 and married with no kids–yet. After working as a fashion buyer for Esprit for four years, I became a stylist and fashion writer, and my work has appeared in Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Candy, Women’s Health, and OK! I also write fashion and shopping articles for Spot.ph and Femalenetwork.com, and I’m also a personal shopper. So you see, I pretty much live and breathe fashion. And just like you, I try to satisfy all my shopping cravings on a working girl’s salary.
Through the years I’ve come up with lots of shopping rules and philosophies ranging from what I call the “Gasp Factor” to the “Below P1,000 Rule,” all of which you’ll learn about in my future blog posts. I’ll also tackle other shopping shopping-related topics regularly, such as The 10 Best (of anything!), a Fab Find of Week, plus the latest in beauty and fashion and of course, those super-handy sale alerts! If you have any fashion questions or you want to share your shopping tips please email me at leona.lavina@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Here’s to a fabulous fashion-filled, shop-smart-savvy new year!
Cheers!
Leona

It’s every pet lover’s fantasy to shop in a supermarket filled with dog (and cat!) stuff—just like those abroad. Thankfully there’s one already in the Philippines, thanks to Pet Express, which is located in the newly renovated SM Cubao.
My shih tzu Papi and I checked out the opening and were wowed by the selection and reasonable prices of their products. From local to imported kibble, treats, grooming products, clothes, and accessories, you and your dog or cat will end up buying more items than you initially planned.
