It’s
summer time! Surely, all of our summer must-haves that were kept away
for the Christmas season are making a great come back. But more than
that, I think every girl in town’s excited to have at least one new
summer item for 2013; shopping is always a part of our list, right???
Personally, I was looking for a great tote to carry around with me
because my old ones are already worn out. I wanted something that was
spacious and accessible enough for putting all of my essentials, like
towel, an extra shirt, rash guard, SPFs, oil, etc., and also something I
wouldn’t have to be too careful about. Yung tipong pwede ko lang ilapag
kahit saan! I call those kinds of bags as “pang-harabas,” hahaha!
So anyway, I found one. And it’s a bit of a jackpot ’cause it’s also very stylish.

Each tote has a different tag but I got the black one that says
“TRAVEL.” Each tote is sold for PHP1099, and you can only buy it online
at Chicify.com!
Now I have 2 great things to tell you in connection with these totes.
1) Since these totes fall under the
in-house Chicify brand, every purchase of this tote or any other item
under the brand, means you will be helping their partner
Diksyonaryo ATBP -
which is: “a non-stock group of concerned individuals who envisions a
100% functionally literate Philippines. We collect storybooks,
dictionaries and other school learning materials and distribute them to
the most depressed communities in the Philippines.” So when you buy to
make yourself happy, someone also benefits from that, ain’t that great?
Anyway, I encourage you to check their website to know exactly what they
do and how you can help, aside from buying a tote or two from
Chicify.com!

2) Now the other great news is that I need
help to spread the word. And as I request you to share this news on your
timelines (Twitter, Facebook, tumblr? Plurk?? Haha!), I have an extra
tote to give to those who will help me out. It should be simple:
tweet/FB or what have you the link of this blog, then email me at
realricaworks@gmail.com telling me about how you think reading or
increase in literacy amongst Pinoys can help our country! Please limit
your reasons to 2 sentences max. Over that, I won’t entertain anymore.
Hehe.

Contest ends next Wednesday, April 10 and winner will get an email
notification from me around that time. To be specific, the tote I am
giving away is the one that says WEEKEND, in color blue!
Thanks for helping me out, guys! Have a great Wednesday!
