I'm in the mood for...

...some online retail therapy! It's a beautiful Sunday morning and while B is catching up on his sleep, I am free to indulge in some shopping online. One of the reasons I love shopping online is that I get to avoid the massive traffic and crowd that usually packs our favourite shopping malls on weekends. Finding a parking space could take up to 20 minutes sometimes and by that time, B and I will be in a bad mood, which will put a damper on our whole shopping.

It has been ages since I did any online shopping as I've been too been busy juggling my copywriting job and making money online at the same time. You see, I've been making a little side income from blogging. If anyone had told me that this was possible when I first started experimenting with my blog over a year ago, I would have a hard time believing it. However, after personally putting in effort to earn some money blogging and actually reaping in a little sum from it, I have to say that making money online is really fun! It's like having your own online business and based on your blog's performance, you can gauge the profitability of your "business". The better your business, the higher your earnings! Of course, I've only made a modest amount so far, but the idea of earning some side income online, is really pleasing and satisfying in itself.

So today, after working so hard these past few months, I've decided to give myself a little treat! What will it be? Another new perfume for my collection or perhaps something from AfrikBoutik - African Art & Gifts? As the name implies, this online boutique offers authentic high-quality African products as gifts and home décor for you or your family and friends. I was amazed at the many African Art, Sculptures, African Masks, Djembes, Leather Bags, Traditional African Clothing, Handcrafted Jewelry and African Home Decoration offered here. One of the most popular items at AfrikBoutik is their range of beautiful leather bags, which are modern in design but uniquely African at the same time. I prefer my bags simple with fewer frills so I really like this one, which costs $127.50 by the way.




Shopping at AfrikBoutik is also fun as there are other perks in store for you like the monthly bloggers contest, where all you have to do is blog about AfrikBoutik to win great prizes. This month for instance, AfrikBoutik is giving away an Old Lawyer African Mask valued at $175! If you fancy winning this really cool African mask, which will make an interesting piece of home décor, do visit AfrikBoutik for more details. In the meantime, I shall continue adding to my online shopping list while waiting for B to wake up. I hope everyone is enjoying a nice relaxing weekend like me and I'll see you later, after my shopping trip! :)
